Why FM10 Isn't Realistic.

[Orion Dean]

• Arsenal actually buy players
• Newcastle don't sack their manager at the end of every month
• Michael Owen can play more than 3 matches without getting injured again
• Alex Ferguson doesn't complain about the ref whenever Man Utd don't win
• Scotland qualifies for the Euro/World cup.
• Commentary on the England games don't keep banging on about 1966
• Liverpool are still a half decent side without Gerrard & Torres
• Blackburn don't play their defenders upfront
• Phil Brown isn't as orange as he should be ingame
• Harry Redknapp isn't stealing players from portsmouth ingame
• Foster doesn't make calamity mistakes in every game
• England can not only score penalties, but win penalty shootouts!
• Steven Gerrard doesn't have aggression 20 after his pub brawl
• Stoke City are capable of playing short passing in the tactic wizard

These are obviously gamebreaking bugs, sort it out si!

Are you being sarcastic or is this a complaint?! FM10 demo is very realistic!

[baker.simon]

I think he is being tongue in cheek? I hope so, Newcastle havn't had a manager to sack for over a year now . I made myself sad

[SOYNEGRO]

I think he is being really sarcastic, and its a funny post xd.

[Hershie]

I would love it if the entire media and transfer rumours sections were just Harry Redknapp talking rubbish.

[uusinjsh]

yeah a funny post

[Cockney Hammer]

I like that was funny.

Thought he was being serious at one point and thought what a plonker.

[celebritykiller]

Steve Gatting wants to join every club under the sun :-)

Beautiful.

Good point, well made . Sol Campbell joins West Brom.

[The Wet Jigsaw!]

[LIST]
[*]Foster doesn't make calamity mistakes in every game

True, he only made 2 in 3 games for me...

[santy001]

The Stoke one is a stereotype, did you not see Irelands goal against Italy? Liam Lawrence - Stoke City; Glenn Whelan - Stoke City.

But quite frankly, there isn't anything that can emulate Phil Brown's orangeyness when Hull are doing well. Now they're doing poorly, he seems to be a bit pale and doesn't do as many press conferences with:

"Well Phil Brown thought Hull played a good game today, but Phil Brown is disappointed not to have all 3 points for Phil Brown's team Phil Brown FC who are now playing at the Phil Brown stadium in the city that belongs to Phil Brown and Paul Duffen"

I sense a disliking of Phil Brown . Dont worry, its a shared feeling.... only i couldn't write them on here without getting banned!

[OugaBagga]

nice post

[RossoneriGunner]

SO I take it you must be playing the Mighty Gunners. I also noticed that former Real Madrid coach Di Salvio wants to join the Arsenal as a first team coach, so I signed him up and he is awesome.

Ter is working on a new skin and media pack for when you are playing against Hull

The screen goes completely orange and the Beach Boys hit "Sloop John B" gets played on a continuous loop for the duration of the match

NO, he wants to join every club FROM Arsenal.

[santy001]

Not to mention there should be a glowing orange icon on 2D and man on 3D that runs around on the touchline with a huge mouthpiece that the bloke next to him also has lol.

If SI couldn't be sued, we could have had so many great features added to this game regarding personalities lol.

When you say huge mouthpiece, do you mean Brian Horton being his mouthpiece, Browns actual mouth being a huge mouthpiece, or them silly microhpone headsets they wear?

[Hershie]

Maybe they should release a Hull FC version, following the Arsenal one, which comes with a free headset and severely limited media options.

[Kain]

I've started as Spurs on mine, and Ledley King trains.

[RossoneriGunner]

NO, he wants to join every club FROM Arsenal.

I know Gatting wants to join every club in the universe, but in 09 I tried to sign Di Salvio but could not get him because he was so good, but in 2010 he actually wants to come and join us.

[Tosh178]

They won't be releasing a Rugby version of FM! It may seem pedantic but it does bug us City fans when we get refered to as Hull FC. Hull FC play Rugby League, Hull City AFC play football. In Hull, the rugby team is FC, and the football team is City.

I thought it was Hull City FC, Hull RFC and Hull KR.

My apologies.

I didn't realise any of them had H's in their name.

I am playing a Baggies game. Nearly signed him, but as a league two fan, I couldnt do it.

Viduka is a good free. only £6k a week 12 month deal

[runandjump]

So much libel in this thread!

funny as hell

No, I'm actually playing Man City. But he's still touting himself around in the news (5 clubs in 2 weeks, including mine)

[Carl]

These are clear bugs!!

Add to the list.... Vermaelen has played 8 games for me now, and not scored once!! (I checked..... its not my tactics!!)

[razorr666]

Well done man... very very funny!!

[EdL]

I agree about Phil Brown anyway!

[KUBTON]

Classic.

Some '66 comments should be easy enough to add in.

[JB]

Definite bugs imo.

[DizzyMind]

You made me google Phil Brown lol...

[Norville Rodgers]

Steve Gatting! I know there's a recession going on, but the man is a jobseeking whore!

[x42bn6]

Maybe they should release a Hull FC version, following the Arsenal one, which comes with a free headset and severely limited media options.

And the ability to interact with yourself via the media.

Also comes with a free mirror.

[santy001]

All transfer rumours regarding big name players should also involve hull! So when Real Madrid sign David Villa in January for 50m or something you get the option to come out in the media and say "It was great for Phil Brown to be in the running with Real Madrid for the striker who isn't as famous as Phil Brown" could also come with your on-the-pitch teamtalk manual, and singing on the pitch like a madman.

It should also be a pre-requisite to be hull manager that you have to buy at least 2 - 4 incredibly injury prone players on large contracts.

If they do a Stoke version though, they should hand it to delap and just tell him which direction you live in, its going to arrive a hell of a lot quicker than it is with royal mail

[uistbhoy]

bwahahahaha

It's funny you should say that, because I just saw this. Looks like there could be one released sometime soon

[Diego_Werderdona]

Yes he does! I got sick of the constant messages and released him.

[schweddy]

Even though I support City and Phil Brown, I still thought that was hilarious! Cheers

but regardless, I'd say this thread has moved from it's original topic to Phil Brown bashing...

[Blanchflower1]

This is indeed a funny post!!!

[peter-evo]

It's funny you should say that, because I just saw this. Looks like there could be one released sometime soon

ha. that's brilliant

[Orion Dean]

Feel Free to chip in with your own, i'm sure theres some awesome ones yet to be heard

[walsh]

haha, Fergie actually buys players on '10 whereas on 09 he very rarely bought anyone for at least 1 or 2 seasons.

[Hershie]

it's funny you should say that, because i just saw this. Looks like there could be one released sometime soon

:d :d

10101010.

[phnompenhandy]

Balloons never put Liverpool out of the title race in FM.

[tonypop]

what a complete kn*b,i hope that was all tongue in cheek!!!

[phnompenhandy]

what a complete kn*b,i hope that was all tongue in cheek!!!

You mean you can't tell? What a .....

[wandsfan93]

Owen is in the England squad on my save.

[Orion Dean]

what a complete kn*b,i hope that was all tongue in cheek!!!

There really are some less then bright people on these forums

[abfc]

It's funny you should say that, because I just saw this. Looks like there could be one released sometime soon

lol is used too often but I actualy did!!

[tuka89]

Are you being sarcastic or is this a complaint?! FM10 demo is very realistic!

please tell me u are being sarcastic asking that question? cos now u sound like a ******

[tuka89]

what a complete kn*b,i hope that was all tongue in cheek!!!

oh dear! i think your the kn*b

[malleria]

Ben Foster is a quality keeper, at watford for 2 years, saved us numerous points and games, made brilliant save after brilliant save, he made two mistakes and played excellent for england

[Ritari]

J-League players/staff are missing. That's the number one realism-killing feature in the game.

[axis88lw]

This must be a bug. Piquionne has scored 5 goals in 10 games and Dinadane has scored 1 in 4 Something is seriously wrong with this cos pompy are in the top half at the start of november

[phnompenhandy]

Rio anyone? :

"[Assman reports that] Ferdinand is a highly reliable player who doesn't often let opponents get past him."

Er, nope.

[Zola444]

-when playing against argentina there should be massive maradona hole is the ground
-when playing with beckham on the pitch there should simply be a picture of king kong (but king kong has less hair

[Sky]

I have always felt that there needed to be a "buying players preference" stat for managers. Some like to splash the cash, some like to invest in youth, others like Wenger look for cheap bargain buys. It would really add a lot to the game. I'm tired of watching Arsenal splash out 30m for Villa or Ibra every year.

[Nicky86]

u can play a whole match without some ENGLISH guy gloating about how much money uz have and how your league is "the best league in the universe", cmon SI get it sorted... not very realistic is it

[Mitsunari]

Unless you’re playing Barcelona or real Madrid in the champion’s league the English media expects you to win easily, because you’re from the so called “best league in Europe”. If you are playing Barcelona or Real Madrid then it’s classed as tough game.

[wandsfan93]

Michael Owen got into the England squad.

On a slightly more serious note about realism, my Dover Athletic keeper that I bought from Norwich in the summer ended up getting an England U19 callup despite only keeping one clean sheet and my team hovering in the bottom half of the table.

[craigcwwe]

He`s being sarcastic.

[wandsfan93]

I think we've gathered that now.

[tottenhamfmo7]

haha nice OP!
