backpackant Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Install patch. Sign on as an ex-international footballer somewhere rich (so I don't have to worry about that aspect of the game yet). Sack any staff whose key attribute is less than 17. Poach new staff and set up training regime. Then I'll look at my squad a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFromTheSouth Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Download the patch. My first task in-game will be to sort out the coaches/scouts (ie replacing them, hopefully getting 7 stars all round in terms of coaching) and to send the scouts to find some talented youngsters.

108 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The patch should be universally the first thing everyone does! I'm then gonna update some of the data, and get my career game on the go! The most exciting thing of all for me is to see some of the regens come through that have supposedly been fixed. If I dont see one regen with very good physical stats after the first season has ended, then i'm probably going to cry myself to into a coma. Infact, I might just holiday a few seasons to see if any come through, then I know if this game is worth playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Firstly I set up training schedules. Then I setup my tactics. Then I search the transfer market to bring in a player or two.

T4RG4 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Install, authenticate, download and apply patch hoping it fixes major issues and some of the minor ones. Look for a better skin, add missing graphics. Look at the squad, list rubbish players. Look at my staff, exterminate (sorry, terminate) rubbish from within. Cancel all friendlies, setup my own tour. Decide on a formation, start looking for appropriate players I can afford and figuring out how to raise the cash for the ones I cannot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

opul Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 whine that I don't have as much time to play FM anymore as I used to until fm07 (and a bit of 08) therefor I will start a proper game, not sure which club yet, and make the most of it, by watching most of the games, analysing them and adjusting tactics accordingly, compared to finding tactics that will win me everything and just click continue and change players every now and then. at least that's what I say now... I will probably end up playing all games on full speed and minimal highlights just to get as many games done in a few minutes as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bRAzIL Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Oooh Take over as Leeds boss. Make a big pot of coffee and stock up on snacks! First think I will do is create a pre-season training schedule and create a pre-season tactic - slow temp, easy tackling etc. No forward runs in two friendlies. Create more friendlies to try out my reserves. Asses back-room staff and scouts and try and improve. Set scout assignments for young players. Sort contracts out. Start off with standard tactic tweaked to specific player attributes. Try and get Leeds promoted in first season and recruit some good young players.
