DodgeeD Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Where did you put the database? If you put in it documents/sports inetractive/football manager 2009/db and it didn't work, try public/sports interactive/football manager 2009/db and see if that works.

Robert_296 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 It was in D:\1-Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\games. Do you mean put it in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\games? If so that didn't work.

DodgeeD Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Are you on XP or Vista? I use Vista and a while back I had to transfer my FM08 sign up from my laptop to my desktop but at first the edited team/nation names wouldn't show up but then I put it into the 'Public' folder and it worked.

SteadfastMeat Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Does anyone like the idea of a referee signup? Users submit officials with custom stats and the like, then every year there are awards for best average rating, most red cards, most penalties etc. After 20 years or so, the ref with the best average rating is the winner. Any supplemental ideas, length of competition etc that anyone thinks would mke it better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denther Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hello, me again. As some of you may have seen am going to be doing a new-sign up based on Dwarves and Elves. Now I have been messing about with the editor and am slowly forming the database. (The dwarves are nearly done now, just have to have a go at messing with the graphics and finish what I am about to ask about). I have put the Dwarves in place of the Faeroe Islands. The League is non-playable. I have put one Dwarf team in the French 2nd Division and am in the process of re-naming the teams in the Faeroe Islands league. Now, do people think it is ok to leave them unplayable, or should I try and swap it with, say the Indian League to make them playable? At the moment I am simply upping the cash and rep of around three of the teams so that some youngsters come through and they get into Europe, do people think that is enough, too much etc? Also do you think all the Dwarf players should start at the Dwarf team in the French League, mix them between the French team and home teams, or just let them start anywhere? Thanks Denther Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeeD Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I found with the Treasure Island sign up that giving good facilites to the domestic teams results in a few good players coming through. Upping the rep and establishing parent club links should help those players get some recognition too. It's probably best to let the sign up players start in an active league just to ensure they get playing time and exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatski Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 It is a standard idea, but here is the Experiment I was thinking of doing: Using the editor, take a team from each other lowest playable leagues in the top European leagues: England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and give them top notch facilities, £20m in the bank, and most importantly, a sugar daddy. I recently did this with AFC Wimbledon, and what was great was that the sugar daddy only pumped in however much money I'd lost that month, so while I always had 20 million in the bank, it didn't get ridiculous. I was thinking of picking the teams at random (say, the ones with the funniest/most obscure names) and running the game as far as I can (i have a lot of free time this next week). And maybe everyone could pick a team that they would be following, or just follow all of them. what are your thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I am thinking about running this sign up, but would like opinions or ideas to fine tune it. What ingredients make a good team? The concept is: I will replace all 12 teams in the Serbian Superleague with custom teams. In the Serbian Superleague the bottom side is relegated, so to avoid this being a team from a participant, the 12th team will have fairly deflated stats (slightly less than Level 5 in each) and are almost assured relegation. Their are 10 spots available, after myself and the weakened team. Each participant will be allowed to rate the following areas of importance in an order of 1 to 5, this will form the starting point for each team. Club Reputation 1/ 7000 2/ 6600 3/ 6200 4/ 5800 5/ 5500 Stadium Size (All Seater) / Average Attendance / Minimum Attendance 1/ 22000 / 14000 / 7000 2/ 17000 / 11000 / 5500 3/ 14000 / 9000 / 4500 4/ 12000 / 7500 / 3750 5/ 10000 / 6000 / 3000 Training Facilities / Youth Facilities 1/ 20 / 20 2/ 16 / 16 3/ 12 / 12 4/ 10 / 10 5/ 8 / 8 Current Ability / Potential Ability (Team of 11 players for Standard 4-4-2) (Gk, DR, DL, DC, DC, MR, ML, MC, MC, ST, ST) Players will all be 25yrs old. They will have all random attributes with the exception of CA & PA and Position. 1/ 130 / 150 2/ 120 / 140 3/ 110 / 130 4/ 105 / 125 5/ 100 / 120 Initial Bank Balance 1/ £12,000,000 2/ £7,000,000 3/ £4,000,000 4/ £2,000,000 5/ £0 Order each category in the way that you want your team to be created.

Denther Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 That looks like a good and interesting twist on the norm team sign ups.

It should add key staff anyway, but I think I'll use the idea but just for the manager. Probably with larger increments than the squad as 10 CA points between managers probably won't make a world of difference. CA / PA 160 / 190 (3 manager stats of your choice at 20) 140 / 170 (2 manager stats of your choice at 20) 120 / 150 (2 manager stats of your choice at 20) 110 / 140 (1 manager stat of your choice at 20) 100 / 130 (1 manager stat of your choice at 20) Perhaps?

If it looks good, and no-one has left a noteworthy improvement, I will start a new thread for sign-ups some time tomorrow. I do have the dedication to see this through, and I hope I can type a worthy write-up.

trekkie_ram Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The game crashes on 1st July 2009. Back to the drawing board for now. Edit: I have moved all the teams to Scotland, which has a similar league setup (aside from the split). I will try running it again. 2nd Edit: Within 2 months, one of the space saver teams has been given a £50m board takeover - lol. it's also increased the club rep from 6000 to 7200 and youth facilities from 10 to 20. not sure how i'm going to factor that in :-p All the club reps have decreased slightly, ranging from 3 points to 43 points lost. I may need to adjust the values to make the league average lower, but I'll see how it plays out. Provided it gets past the season handover point. 3rd Edit: Got past season 1, looks stable, I'm going to adjust the League Rep (increase of 1) to balance out the falling Club Reps. I'm going to alter the Initial Bank Balance figures to try and make them more tempting (Scottish football probably needs more money than Serbian football).

Whoever fails to complete the task will face eviction, which will be decided by the forum users not in the sign up. If everyone completes the task then everyone will face eviction.

What type of short task? I would imagine there has been a BB idea before too - I thought about it before I started the FMX-Factor - so it might be worth a search to check. Would it be a daft question to ask if you'd finished your other sign-up? I've never been involved with your sign-up's but judging by your negative reactions from others, I think you might struggle to get 12 people to sign-up. It's a good idea if not already done though.

They will be ranked from Best(Spain/Brazil) to worst(Guam/American Samoa) and than they get a factor: Place FIFA-List Nation Factor 1 Spain 1 2 Netherlands 1 3 Germany 1 4 Italy 1 5 Brazil 1 6 England 1 7 Argentina 1 8 Croatia 1 9 Russia 1 10 France 1 11 Portugal 1 12 Turkey 1 13 Paraguay 1,5 14 USA 1,5 15 Czech Republic 1,5 16 Switzerland 1,5 17 Greece 1,5 17 Uruguay 1,5 19 Ukraine 1,5 20 Serbia 1,5 21 Cameroon 1,5 22 Scotland 1,5 23 Bulgaria 1,5 24 Denmark 1,5 25 Israel 2 26 Mexico 2 27 Northern Ireland 2 28 Romania 2 29 Australia 2 30 Nigeria 2 31 Japan 2 31 Sweden 2 33 Bosnia-Herzegovina 3 34 Republic of Ireland 2 35 Honduras 3 36 Ghana 2 37 Chile 3 38 Côte d'Ivoire 2 39 Poland 3 40 Egypt 3 41 Costa Rica 3 42 Slovakia 3 43 Hungary 3 44 Ecuador 3 45 Colombia 3 46 Korea Republic 2 47 Norway 3 48 Gabon 5 49 Finland 3 50 Burkina Faso 5 51 Tunisia 5 52 Iran 5 53 Guinea 5 54 Mali 5 55 Marocco 5 56 Saudi Arabia 5 57 Venezuela 5 58 Bolivia 5 59 Latvia 10 60 Lithuania 5 61 Panama 10 62 Slovenia 10 63 Belgium 5 64 FYR Macedonia 10 65 Gambia 10 66 Algeria 10 67 Uganda 20 68 Togo 10 69 Libya 10 70 Bahrein 10 71 Austria 10 72 Trinidad&Tobago 10 73 South-Africa 10 74 Wales 20 75 Senegal 20 76 Jamica 20 77 Iraq 20 78 Uzbekistan 20 79 Cyprus 20 80 Oman 30 81 Belarus 20 82 New Zealand 20 83 Canada 20 84 Congo DR 20 85 Sierra Leone 30 86 Congo 30 87 Mozambique 30 88 Sudan 30 89 Peru 20 90 Zambia 30 91 Benin 30 92 Albania 30 93 Iceland 30 94 Qatar 30 95 Cape Verde Islands 50 96 Rwanda 30 97 Angola 50 98 China PR 30 99 Cuba 50 100 El Salvador 50 101 Zimbabwe 50 102 Kenya 50 103 Grenada 50 104 Syria 50 105 Georgia 50 106 Korea DPR 50 107 Moldova 50 108 Fiji 100 109 Tanzania 100 110 Montenegro 50 111 Malawi 100 112 Guatemala 100 113 Estonia 100 114 Antigua and Barbuda 100 115 Bermuda 100 116 Thailand 100 117 Kuwait 100 118 Bostswana 100 119 Ethiopia 100 120 Barbados 100 121 Luxemourg 200 122 United Arab Emirates 200 123 Suriname 200 124 Haiti 200 125 Equatorial Guinea 200 126 Jordan 200 127 Guyana 200 128 Namibia 200 129 Chad 300 130 Madagascar 200 131 Armenia 200 132 Kazakhstan 200 133 New Caledonia 300 134 Singapore 300 135 Vietnam 300 136 Liberia 300 137 Swaziland 500 138 Indonesia 200 139 Burundi 300 140 Azerbeidzjan 300 141 Vanuatu 500 142 Nicaragua 300 143 Hong Kong 300 144 Niger 300 145 Netherlands Antilles 300 146 Yemen 500 147 India 300 148 Tadjikistan 500 149 Maldives 500 150 Malta 500 151 St. Kitts and Nevis 500 152 Puerto Rico 500 153 St. Vincent and the Grenadines 500 154 Turmenistan 500 155 Myanmar 500 156 Liechtenstein 500 157 Lebanon 1000 158 Eritrea 1000 159 Malaysia 1000 160 Philippines 1000 161 Sri Lanka 1000 162 Kyrgyzstan 1000 163 Mauritania 1000 164 Lesotho 1000 165 Salomon Islands 1000 166 Faroe Islands 1000 167 Pakistan 1000 168 Somalia 1000 169 Cayman Islands 5000 170 Nepal 5000 171 Bangladesh 5000 172 Laos 5000 173 Chinese Taipei(Taiwan) 5000 174 Mauritius 5000 175 Palestine 5000 176 Mongolia 5000 177 Belize 5000 178 Samoa 5000 179 Cambodia 5000 180 Seychelles 5000 181 Bahamas 5000 182 Turks and Caicos Islands 5000 183 Brunei (Darussalam) 5000 184 Afghanistan 5000 185 Djibouti 5000 186 Dominican Republic 5000 187 Guinea-Bissau 5000 188 Guam 5000 189 St. Lucia 5000 190 Tahiti 5000 191 Tonga 5000 192 Bhutan 5000 193 British Virgin Islands 5000 194 Macau 5000 195 Aruba 5000 196 Andorra 1000 197 Dominica 5000 198 Timor-Leste 5000 199 Comoros 5000 200 US Virgin Islands 5000 201 Central African Republic 5000 202 San Marino 1000 203 Anguilla 5000 204 Montserrat 5000 205 American Samoa 5000 206 Cook Islands 5000 207 Papua New Guinea 5000 and then I will make it like this: Worldcup win: 10 Worldcup 2nd: 9 World Cup 3rd: 8 World Cup 4th: 7 World Cup quarter Finals: 5 World Cup last 16: 3 Reaching World Cup: 2 Winning Confederations Cup: 5 2nd Confed.

Ireland and Wales. Hope you like the looks of them. I sorted completely by Reputation and also eg. Leeds was not allowed above their current level. From there I just worked down the list making sure every division had 2 Scottish Teams, 1 Northern Irish Team & 1 Welsh Team (This was based on population figures from last census) And hence here is what we have. Just to say that Aldershot would never get relegated to the Blue Square North because they are in a very south part of England, in between London and Portsmouth! I know that for a fact because I live there!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Just to say that Aldershot would never get relegated to the Blue Square North because they are in a very south part of England, in between London and Portsmouth! I know that for a fact because I live there!! Ayr, Cowdenbeath & Stenhousemuir are from Scotland, and they are in Blue Square South this would have been noticed long before the Aldershot thing. It seems that priority has rightly been placed on league balance, and not geographical accuracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Haha yeah when I made that list it was purely about making the leagues even. Geography would've come into it in season two, but I wanted the leagues to be about the same for fairness in season one really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Are we taking bets on relegation from the Premiership in Season 1? I think Linfield & Llanelli are prime candidates to take Derbys proud record low of 11 pts. (Pity it isn't real life). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This idea is on the backburner until FM10 now following ongoing issues with it But in the end those clubs got put lower down as it was done entirely on reputation, will be starting on building a database as soon as I get FM10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have an idea, though it is similar to one that has just been created by Mendi, though mine is slightly in the idea of an experiment as well. Basically I want to run a League system where each of the clubs are created from a nation ranked outside the top 100 in world football. So there are 108 possible nations that people could be taking control of. I am going to try my best to check out which nations have only a few players and they are likely to be given some extras or be unchoosable. Now I have a few questions for all of you, I was originally going to base it in the Dutch leagues as it is a closed system and they can qualify for the Champions League as well, but possibly the Malaysian League is better with the can only have soo many foreign players. So I will work on the lists of teams that would be usable, what I want an idea from everyone here is what I should make customisable for each nation/club and what I should make standard across the board. I am hoping to have the top league filled with clubs/nations ranked between 101 & 154 and the bottom league with clubs/nations from 155-208. I think this will make for a slightly more exciting league line-up add some variety and generally make it a bit fairer in each league. Now I was thinking of making it so that you must choose a squad from your own nation with say three stars you can draft into the squad, but these three stars must not have any senior caps for their current nation and then they will become declared for your own nation. I am going to be editing this database to set it up properly and then using a ddt file to make sure all the players I put into these clubs will be loaded. So ideas, tips and questions anyone? This would be my first ever sign-up but i am hoping people will support me in it. Mendi - If you think this is too close to your idea tell me and I will adjust it with some other ideas I had.

Lower Leagues Rule Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Right so I have gone through and of the 108 possible teams 37 have 200+ players, 12 have 100-199, 28 have 50-99, 10 have 30-49 & the remaining 21 have less than 30. Worst being British Virgin with 0, Turks & Caicos Is with 2 & Bahamas with 3. So I think minimum is going to be about 25-30 players so currently there would be 87 possible choices for the sign-up.

In Asia, South America, Oceania and Europe every nation is choosable in Football Manager(I couldn't find any till now, maybe Timor-Leste?) In africa i know that Sao Tomé e Principe is unchoosable and in North America there are many nations unchoosable as shown by Lower Leagues Rule. Montserrat and St. Lucia are unchoosable too from the nations I know, so they have not many players... Was my idea actually a good one, or is it already used once?

I have always thought a challenge or sign-up or experiment using the lower nations is always more fun. And I love the idea of your challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_HR Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I would like to see a sign-up started which included a created league for the former Jugoslavia. Not really sure what the competition would be specifically, just thought it would be cool to have a league with all the former-Jugoslav teams competing against each other again. i.e. The best Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Slovenian, etc. clubs. Also, maybe following Jugoslavia as a country on the international stage (interesting to see how all the different sub-nationalities do together on one team). Wish I could try this myself but between a horrible computer and work I wouldn't have time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 no I don't think he does. Well he does, but Jugoslavia is just a 'translated' version. I think it's the Italian name for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
