The Loovenator Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Apologies straight away as i'm sure this has already been posted but can't find it. Can you die? I don't mean you get a message saying that you've got some sort of disease or something but if you play enough seasons your age will obviously rise and eventually you'll have to die? Luckily i'm in 2021 and started the save as young as possible (29?). If you started aged 65 or something does it mean your game stops earlier than a 29 year old?

Blue Flag Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 It's not the same as dying but when I was about 12 I had Championship manager 93 and played for years and years, can't remember how many seasons and I was thinking - how long will this last. Then I got a message saying you have been offered the England job (this was before International management) I clicked to accept it and that was it, you couldn't continue anymore.

Holiday1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Actually an interesting point as it seems a few players/youth players have died recently and of course that Columbian defender got killed after the world cup...

Starr_Man5 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I asked this about '07. Does anybody have a picture of their really old manager profile to upload? Where they are 100-odd years old?

It lastet 50 years at most at that point - in the unlikely event your save game disk didn't get corrupted before that. Think most I ever did was about 40 because of that....the disk died alright.

jedclough Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder if it's the same as in dreams where they say that if you die in a dream, you die in real life. If you die in FM, you die in real life. It could be a teen slasher film. I might pitch it to 20th Century fox. You could get stiffler from American Pie to play the FM player, although realistically it should be Daniel Radcliffe or Hurly off-of Lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty_9 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think if i recieved a message saying "You have died...Unlucky!!" Might get annoyed especially if your older than the age you die at on the game...May affect certain players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loovenator Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Love the idea of being re-genned back into the game as a young manager again. I'm still plugging away and in 2022 - I'd imagine that my game will mess up far before i'm old and grey but if players retire by 40 odd then I think I'll gracefully go at manager retirement ade too (not that there's a set age) Maybe if you did become old there could be a news story that at the end of your current contract you are set to retire and you could have a few options to choose from? Or other manager slating you saying your 'past it' etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonkyDick Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 This reminds me of the old days, not sure if it was CM though. I remember playing an old manager game and your players would randomly die. You'd sign a new star striker and a few months later he'd be struck by lightning or something and be dead. On some saves I'm pretty sure I averaged a least 1 dead player every season, you'd just have to hope it wasn't a good player. Those were the days.
