deniro80 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi All, I'm sure by now most people would have heard and bought a young kid from Cisco Roma called Mascio but is he actually a 'real' player? According to the Cisco Roma website he's not in any of the squad lists and have googled his name and you just get people mentioning him from FM forums. Could he be another To Maderia from a few FM's ago? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterware Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 No one in Italy knows about this player. I think he's a fake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDEHLSON Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If he does exist he certainly isnt a Cisco Roma player. I searched for his real name in all of Cisco Roma's IRL squads and nothing. In an Italian forum (I cant read Italian too well...) there was something about wrong players in Cisco Roma... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniro80 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Mmm, he wasn't on the FM08 database at all. His career history says he started at Lazio not sure if that is correct. Well he's a good player so i'll make the most of him ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This proves that using FMscout doesnt mean you will have the best players around. Most people search for players with huge PAs and they would miss out on this guy as his PA is not the highest. He looks wicked on your game even better than on mine and I bought him, damn your game lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I changed the colors. You need to download a skin form the Skinning Hideout. I've also done stuff like this to my skin... Just download the "Default" Skin with different attribute colors. Its usually up in the top 10-15 threads. As for Mascio, he was signed for £45,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If you got for Mascio in the first season he costs no more than 50k. One of the best bargains on the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chochip Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 That's funny. He's not 'Right Only' in my game, but just 'Right'. Could be random.

sacripante Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I started a thread about this "player" in a italian forum, and i can confirm that nobody knows him. The Cisco researcher himself was surprised, because he has not includede "Mascio" in the squad, he is pretty sure about that. He was created with CA = 0, so no trace of him in the best ca11. I can assure you, all italian researcher are upset and are still trying to understand how he could be added to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcats Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This is really strange, don't quite understand why is there. Wasn't 'sindre loe bing' or something like that made up on a previous game. He could play anywhere and just had 20's for pretty much everything.

NepentheZ Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 yea, FM07 IIRC Sindre Bing was a legend. Literally had every position, and was easily the best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerMef Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I started a thread about this "player" in a italian forum, and i can confirm that nobody knows him. The Cisco researcher himself was surprised, because he has not includede "Mascio" in the squad, he is pretty sure about that. He was created with CA = 0, so no trace of him in the best ca11.I can assure you, all italian researcher are upset and are still trying to understand how he could be added to the game. My researcher database says that he was created by the Italian research team, but probably not by the Cisco researcher. From looking at the db, I'd say it was the Siena researcher who created him and transferred him to Cisco. But I'm just guessing. Edit: Oh, the thread was pretty old.

JD nawrat Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Can you remember John Fleck in FM08? His stats were all just randomised, meaning that he could be the worlds best Striker, or the the worst? Is this Mascio lad similar?(NB: I mean in terms of stats. I know John Fleck is real) Until this thread, I hadn't actually seen this Mascio player before. On my game, he's only worth 20k... he also plays for Pisa.(He did move to Pisa, from Cisco, mind. This is in the very first season). Anyway, he doesn't seem that impressive. Apart from Penalty and Free Kick taking, his Determination, Flair and Natural Fitness are his only other 'impressive' stats. I'll sign him anyway. Hopefully he'll turn out to be good in the future.

Sam00000000000001 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 On my game, my scouts say that he can only go on to be a decent championship midfielder... But some of his stats are amazing, even 1st season. (19 for FK's and Pens) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Mascio isn't real. He is an anomaly in the game, a random creation in the database -somewhat of a freak of computing nature. Some say he is the embodiment of FM - an attempt for the game to represent itself in playabale form. It's uncontrolled by the developers, the game is growing its own thought processes and abilities to imitate itself through its own free will. What we are see here is the first step of artificial intelligence procreating - striving for the basic human wants of reproduction. Do not be fooled, 'Mascio' is the first hard evidence we have of technology growing apart from human control. The SI developers may well be at the forefront of science.

108 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Even more frightening is if you rearrange the letters 'Mascio'...you get Ms Ciao I dont know what this could mean, but there are several possibilities that need to be looked into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopitelewis Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 mascio probably means regen in italian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
