LiRiM-InSaNe Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just started this. Have made some pretty handy signings. And have reduced the wage bill by selling a lot of reserves and some under-18s. With my signings and tactics in place. Promotion is my only aim this season. Will update as I progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjamark Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm quite annoyed at this too - I fancied trying to repeat my World Cup/Euro Champs feats with the U19s and U21s but got bored just playing friendlies. Scotty, how are you getting on with the beloved San Marino? I've just seen you've got the record for most season tickets sold in the records thread.

Only place I know of that has them is susie and their servers are down for a while. I've just started this challenge again and it looks naff with the default badges and stuff...

Oktober Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 San Marino Calcio are WAY expanded in 09, much better researched, tons of club legends and rivals and the like. I think I prefer it the old way though... quite liked everything about the club's records being down to me. Oh well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroblues Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've hit a brick wall so far in my 2009 attempt, haven't had the crash so I'm in 2014/15 and still stuck in Serie C1.

pnefc22 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 No, there is no work around known yet. How did you get to 2014/15 without it crashing?

You were lucky Although, I din't try it because I didn't want to waste my time for the bug to ruin it. I probably was lucky yeah, I'm up to Serie B now and it seems that EU nationals will now take up citizenship, had 2 new players, one Italian keeper and a German Fullback. I really hope that some of my prospects take up citizenship, they're looking good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Citizenship is the only really way of doing really well with San Marino. you have to buy up the good regens at 15/16 and let them get citizenship while hiping their national team ddon't pick them or they don't declare themselves for their nation.

kroblues Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Strangely I'm doing alright without the nationalised players, the only disappointment was that an AMC/FC came through Cagliari and was easily the best player, but he got released and then retired, with 4 international goals from 15 caps.

I'm still on the 08 challenge, and would say the best thing i ever did was improve youth facilities... Although now my regens are as good as the best coming out of Italy... so my San Mareneese players (most are dual nationality) are holding out playing for San Marino incase Italy call them up. I'm 11th in the World Rankings but haven't got passed the group stages of an International competition or broken into the top 4! The year is 2024 btw!

kroblues Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Annoying, my best CM, bought for 24k and the record appearance maker for the club side, finally takes up San Marinese citizenship. All good you might think, but the idiot decided to declare for Italy the day before he did it Second time that's happened, the other was with a RB who would easily be the best player and is currently club captain. Why do this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
max1994 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 i think the bug only affects you if you load down to serie c1 if you load to c2 then you'll fine i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon69 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 End of first season - got to play-offs in the final week of the regular season my starting GK got injured in training, my DM got injured in the last game and my starting right sided Midfieler got injured in training. In the first leg of the play-offs my RB picked up my first red card of the season and my top scorer had his leg broken and my back up right sided midfielder pick up a booking to rule him out of the second leg - I lost the match 2-1 and hit the post and had the oppo GK pull off three great saves. In the second leg I lost 1-0 with them getting 2 shots on target to my 4 and two more fantastic saves from the keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 OK on the board confidence screen they are delighted that I reached the play-offs but on the long term one they are concerned that I only reached the play-offs - the long term goal is to make the team a major player in this division !

Azeryk- Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 A question for those who have done this challenge before: i. Do enough regens come through eligible to play for San Marino that allow for the national team to get better as the years advance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yeah, that's the main way to complete the national part of this challenge. Occasionally you do get good players from the San Marino clubs but that's rare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeryk- Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Good, because after Dafuge's challenge am looking to do one involving a low ranked International team but was concerned there would be a lack of new players coming through the system, and also that they wouldn't get better over the years.
