FM helping Real Managers!!

I just heard from a friend than another guy we now was managing a local team from around our area. Must of been a good few years back maybe FM 2005.

Well apparently he actually edited the game adding his whole team apparently as realistic as he could and he then used FM to help him with match tactics for his real games, clearly this is one of the most funny uses of FM i have ever heard of. Unfortunately i have not heard if it was successful but apparently he even went to the trouble of dishing out match ratings as FM would.

He is def not managing them anymore maybe this indicates it didnt work to well for him lol

but the funniest thing was he was giving his team a run out against United, Arsenal n all and thinkin this ment his team were able to take on the opposition on saturday

Everton have got a special deal with SI and im sure moyes is trying to use the corner trick with osman on corners from the left lescott on the near post and fellaini in the 6yard box Spotted this against villa haha

I think thats your answer,he maybe took it all a bit too much to heart and had half the oppossing team being shown onto there "weaker foot" and "closing down"the other half of the team,the team he managed got so confussed they either lynched him or he got the sack.

lol i jsut thought this was hillarious i hope si dont try to sue him hahahahah

Why on Earth would they? He's not claiming that FM is something he made.

"And you Hutchinson!!! why didnt my team talk of "for the supporters" work??? you played worse!!!"

"But guv, theres only 5 people watching and im pretty sure 4 of them are kids"

"Mentality Slider - Two Right! Two Right!"

"I clicked the box for free role, why didn't I see any movement out of you!?!"

"Mentality Slider - Two Right! Two Right!"

Lol bang on,manager took the player to 1 side and said "ok I have tried this out on FM09 and if you play to a 16 attacking with a slider on rarely to shot from distance we would be winning,now look I have played FM09 for 10 seasons and we are now in the CL so listen to me and let me take there"

"Play the ball to the near post during corners lads - 8 times out of 10 we'll score"

Manager: "Why weren't you cutting inside?"

Winger: "But all you told me was not to cross, hit more through passes, told me I was on free role, and that I have creative freedom of 17. What the hell is that anyway?"

Manger: "Yes, exactly! That's called cutting inside you idiot! Can't you understand my instructions?!"

Winger: "Why didn't you just say 'I want you to cut inside'?"

Manager: "That's not how football works. It's all about overly intricate instructions, convoluted ideas, and ambiguous settings"

Winger: "Are you on drugs or something, that makes no sense"

Why on Earth would they? He's not claiming that FM is something he made.

it was a joke...refering to the way everton signed a deal to FM databases as a scouting tool or somethin

****ant

Manager: "Why weren't you cutting inside?"

Winger: "But all you told me was not to cross, hit more through passes, told me I was on free role, and that I have creative freedom of 17. What the hell is that anyway?"

Winger: "Are you on drugs or something, that makes no sense"

And yet if - in FM - players kept doing things the manager didn't tell them to do you'd get people yelling on the forums about players cutting inside when they haven't received that instruction.

And in real life if a manager doesn't WANT a winger to cut inside and he keeps doing it he'll be annoyed - unless he curls in a beauty of course.

Player instructions is a major no-win situation for SI.

Does that mean that Moyes is cheating in football?

Since he used FM for scouting needs and probably will try to find good buys off the FM database. I'm fairly sure that other lower leagues managers IRL will secretly use FM/FM scouting tools to find players.

If he/others is not cheating by using a third party application from FM IRL,

Then would it be ok for FM players to use Scouting Tools for their game, and not be considered cheating?
