Mike_Cardinal Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Okay, this looks like great fun, and will be starting a game on the 8.0.2 patch immediately, so no need to have a Scandinavian team right? However, my only question is why is it that loading all players from New Zealand is recommended? Is there some Oceania Cup amongst there I haven't seen that Australia aren't allowed in? Also, will the following list get me through this fine? Australia Brazil China England Ireland Singapore South Africa U.S.A Running on the bare minimum.

Mike_Cardinal Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Okay, I'm off and away. Hannover Park in South Africa's First Division have offered me a job, so the plan is to win all the African trophies, hopefully gaining a national job on top in the process, and then move on. Dunno if you need a profile pic, but here it is anyway: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2m5xxjd&s=3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Cardinal Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I bought a new team and backroom staff, my new ass man with decent stats said that it would be good enough to avoid relegation, and most of the players "would be a leading star for most Premier League sides", so surely I should have ripped it up? Well, no. I discovered that still I'm at 50-1 for every single game (the lowest amount possible in the game), and after crashing out the cup 4-2 and losing the first home game 3-0 to someone else predicted to struggle, I resigned. I'm now holidaying indefinitely and applying for every job until I get one that's perhaps a little less impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 OK, so I am back to my own challenge, starting for the third time now there is a new patch out! I am using the official patch after I have done the workaround for Defoes contract myself. Here are my leagues I'm starting in March '08 in the hope the late start will throw up a few interesting casualties. Here I go..... (again) And here is my Profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have taken over at Queens University Belfast. They are 3rd in the league with 3 games to go. With a bit of luck I can get promoted this season and start working on getting the All Ireland cup shortly after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 So I take over with 3 games to go and in third place, top to get a play off for promotion....... Gutted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 OK, to add to the disapointment of missing out on the play-offs on goal difference. I have realised, that: a) there was no play off, it was just straight promotion. b) that I am in the third tier of the Northern Irish League, when I thought I was only in the 2nd tier. This will mean it will take longer to win the All Ireland Cup. And now I will have to wait until Thursday before I get my next FM sesh in!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizan Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm about to start the game, had to restart as I cant get a job anywhere! Just a quick question Which country do you guys start the game from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Mizan, If you are unemployed you start in which ever country you get your first job in. Do you mean which nationality you are? If so I always use my own nationality, English. But you can be whatever nationality you want to really.

mizan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I was wondering if anyone else is playing with the new patch? If so have they had problems with getting a job. After seeing people start with Brazilian Third Div sides I wanted the same, I gave myself Brazilian nationality. BUT.... I didnt get a job in over a year! Until newly promoted South African side Blackburn Rovers offered me the job. Anyone else have similar problems with getting a new job on the new patch? Should I go to the old patch?

seanefc Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi, ive just started again with the new patch, getting a job does seem a bit harder, but it might just be bad luck, hard to say problem for me is that im very fussy with the clubs i want to manage, im not asking to go in as the best club in a division,... but when i end up as a team which is totaly un-competitive - i get no enjoyment from it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennuk Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Started again...waiting months and months to start the season was awful, i had took over the african warriors from the south african second division. But decided this time to apply for the irish leagues, and got in Queens University Belfast, who are in the 2nd division of the northern irish league. Oh and i decided not to apply to vanuatau Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertonbloke Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 This challenge is still going ahead, however, we do seem to have a long gap between posts. suspect this is because it is such a long challenge. Dont be put off by the lack of posting mate No plans for a league table I'm afraid but if poeple want to let me know how far they have come I could put one together.

glennuk Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well i quickly left QUB, as i couldn't sign any players as the board wouldn't allow me, so i have joined the african warriors. In the south african first division, mostly part timers, and amatuers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lionel Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've decided to make this my next fm project. It'll probably take a long time and it's doubtful that I'll actually complete it, but it should be fun. Here's my profile: Profile The leagues that I've chosen are: Argentina Australia Denmark Ireland Italy Malaysia South Africa South Korea USA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have sort of tried this challenge before, but gave up really quickly. Going to give it another go, in the off chance I can get into it this time. Leagues Picked Profile Picked Feb 2008 as my start date and from a quick glance there an assortment of higher profile jobs, international jobs and some other jobs available. Think I will apply for everything, though I doubt I will get the higher profile jobs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have taken over Sengkang Punggol FC in the Singapore League. I join them as they have just lost in the prelim round of the League cup, but have the whole League season ahead of me, starting in under a month. The squad contains 7 foreign players, and the league rules state I can only play 4 of them at a time. May need to try and find some more locals. I only use to intend to use the club as a stepping stone to bigger things, and a few years down the line work on the Asian continental part of this challenge. Will post some screenshots when anything remotely interesting happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanefc Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Well this thread seems to have died a total death... I think the real problem is that it seems to have got more difficult to find a job since after the patch. So a massive challenge is made even more massive by the fact that you have to start with a totally uncompetitive team. Of course, thats realistic, but it does add a good few years on before you can win trophys. for example, in my original game, with the 1st patch, i was able to get job offers at reasonable teams, i.e. kyserispor in turkey, sparta in holland, racing santander in spain.... so im going to *cheat* a bit (atleast go against the rules of this challange), and start with an Automatic reputation BUT pick the team i am going to start with! This will most likely be one of the top 2 or 3 from either Malaysia, or Singapore It would be good to hear from anyone else who is up for doing the same? I will be playing with the exact same rules as stated on page one, but just picking my own team to begin with instead. I thought i would wait a few months before posting this, to see if anyone was still playing/posting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
