Sussex Hammer Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just loaded up,,,,,,finally! to have a quick look before starting a game and noted West Ham were down as "Rich" but have a Transfer Budget of a mere 1 Million? Lord only knows what Clubs marked as poor have to spend. What are other Clubs like? Also has anyone noticed that there is no shortcut link to some of your favourite ex players on the Club Info screen but there is with others? I could click on Carlos Tevez but couldn't with Glen Johnson or Rio Ferdinand?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
turber Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Same with Everton - 1.5m Euro for transfers to reach the Eurocup - hm, probably in coincidence with the current real world financial syndrom... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mne2 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I thought this was always the same as they were considered to have spent their 1st season budget on real players? (i.e. Liverpool Signing Keane etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
santy001 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wouldn't make that much sense because some teams, like Man city still then have 70 odd million to spend. I thought if you ticked the option for first window budgets, you'd ideally have roughly at least around what the club spent or were thought to have.

LFC Rule Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I was surprised Liverpool only had 1.1m transfer budget in the first season. I thought the idea of transfer budget in first season option was to ignore the real life expenditure (ie keane for LFC) and have it set to be the amount they would have at the start of the summer before they spent any money. A bit unrealistic I know but that is why it was an option and also it gives gamers a chance to spend and not have to wait a year to get a proper budget.

Sorry for the complete noobness of this question but where is the option you're referring to? Do you set this in the editor or when creating a game? I've never noticed this option.

I'm confused too, I don't have the full game yet, but have never heard of this option:confused: Why would the budget be decreased under those circumstances?

Richard Buckley Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 ^^ When you start a new game, one of the options is to 'Enable Transfer Budget in First Window' or something similar, ie; to give you new $$$ even though your club have of course already spent the $$$ back in August 2008.. I'm finding the relative budgets/player costs to be about as realistic as can be hoped so far.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal_Hides Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The option isn't to ignore the spending in pre-season as I understand it. I've always looked at it in the sense that transfers are up-to-date as of 1st September 2008. Given the transfer window has then closed, that club can't sign any more players until January (apart from unattached players etc). The option at the start is to remove all transfer budgets until 1st September, meaning that squads remain as they are in real life at the close of the transfer window. It's to allow players a more realistic experience. The transfer budgets each team have at the start of the game are roughly worked out by speculation. They take the amount they believe each team has to spend that pre-season, deduct what they have actually spent in real-life (as those transfers have effectively gone through in game as well with the players starting at their new clubs e.g. Berbatov shouldn't actually be at Man Utd until 31st August), and leave you with the remainder as your transfer budget. That's why some teams have such low transfer budgets, they have effectively already spent their allowance, even though the club is quite well off. Similarly, Man City still have a fortune because they reportedly had an almost blank cheque, and so still have a load of money to spend after all their signings. Arsenal start with a big budget because they reportedly have the funds to sign players, but Wenger chooses not to use his budget, ever, under any circumstances!
