c10ckw0rk Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Do you ever give nicknames to your players? What are they? There are 2 reasons that would make me change the name of someone. 1. The name is too long and too complicated. ex. Vladimir Kistolokinovsky (don't remember his real last name)---> Vlad 2. To make it sound like he is someone from the country. ex. I had this Brazilian guy Léo Bertos (his real name is Leonardo de Matos Cruz) playing in Marseille. He was chosen to play for the French National team and turned to French Nationality so I changed his name to Léonard Matos which sounds way more French.

TheOriginalJez Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I changed Ali Al-Habsi's name to just 'Ali' because in my in-mind commentary I kept forgetting his last name somehow :/ plus it seemed like a cool nickname lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the--dud Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've got a habit, it's quite strange but I've been doing it since FM06 or such. At the start of a season there is an intake of youngsters(obviously), and one or two is always singled out to have the most potential. I nickname them their real name(or shorter if a long name), but with a * at the end. Just so I can keep track of them over the years I also use it on some players with really long names. But only if their name gets shortened with ... on certain screens. I then just give them a short nickname. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejected Bid Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't know if anyone else does this but in a couple of games I have renamed the regens in my youth squad as similar players I know in real life so I can remember who's who and what's what until they make it into the first team, by which time I'll remove the nickname. For example I get a tall English striker come through the ranks who my assistant expects to become a decent Premier League player. The name Phillip Dunbarton means nothing to me so I'll rename him Phillip Crouch. Just helps me to familiarise myself with my regens and remember the kind of player they are as there are so many unfamiliar names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have systems like putting * for good youth prospect, *top youth prospect, # for must buy, ~ for players to watch, [name] for players I want to sell and {name} for players that I want to keep.

jamieake Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i normally just do it if start to call them something different in my mind when watching games. an example is a german guy i had at real madrid who was called robert brill, but in my mind i kept calling bobby brill so changed it to that. done it for a few players. got a french regen with real name michel dabo but nicknamed him micky dabo.

buzzing_hornet Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 When i was playing CM 01/02 i was about 12 and thus comedy names were VERY amusing to me and my cousin as we'd abuse the Germany team and Andy Cole. German team: Oliver Kahn changed to Oliver K*nt. Michael Ballack to Michael B*llocks. Oliver Neuville to Oliver Noballs. Carsten Jancker to Carsten Wa*ker. Etc Etc. As for Andy Cole i do believe this was the time when he arrogantly demanded to be refered to as 'Andrew Cole' and also he'd always score against me and my cousin, thus he was changed to the oh so hilarious Andrew 'Dickhead' Cole. Hahaha etc. Good times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
