phnompenhandy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Non-FM09 post (It'll be a few days before I get it out here in Cambodia): On the TV last night Richard Keys was saying that David Moyes has persuaded avid Evertonians the Collyer brothers to sell Everton the Football Manager database for him to scout players. Wow! So what's that about? What does he pay for and get that's extra to what's in the regular game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy38 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 We should all hurry and spend the time we could be using posting replies in this thread and using it to bet 4 figure sums on Everton winning the Premiership back-to-back within the next 5 years. Then an extra bet for the Champions League within 8 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHER HATES GRAVEL Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was under the impression the master database only had stuff like attribute weightings, everything else is accessible via the trusty data editor that is always free with the game? hope Everton aren't paying much more than £30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

isuckatfm Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The question is will the researchers form a union and demand to get paid? Will they refuse to sign any agreements they have that state that all knowledge they obtain is legally owned by SI? They're giving it to SI for the price of a copy of the new game (essentially) and it now turns out that what they are doing is in fact a commercially viable product. Who will be their Eva Peron? I see a bad musical adaptation in the pipeline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
