vasilli07 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just curious, how do you guys choose your name? Or will you just use the same name for every save you start? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenChap Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I usually have 3 managers, my name as my main one and then two holiday journey mans who I loan out my youth too.

o JaY Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I always choose my real name when playing as sunday league rep, journeyman style but if I choose like international rep and manage a big club, I use my alter-ego 'Jay Smith'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey1978 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I use my real name, but I've been known to make up Spanish or Italian names to manage in those countries, as the desire to use my own name is over-ridden by the unlikelihood of a rookie Englishman with no foreign language skills getting a job abroad.

Nani17legend Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I use my name for the main club i'm at. David Beckham for my England manager despite the fact he's still in my England team at the beginning of the game.

Suzie MUFC Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's always felt weird for me to use my own name, considering the FM universe is like an alternative reality that I would never be part of. Plus, past FMs were restricted to male-only managers, so I've always used this one male character who's got his own backstory and everything. And he's nice looking and drives a Ferrari.

Suzie MUFC Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 If I ever did use my own name, I'd probably create a backstory along the lines of winning a Jim'll Fix It-style competition, and it turned out I was so awesome, the club kicked out their current manager.

Biscotti Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I generally come up with a name based on the nationality of the manager I'm playing, but how I choose my nationality varies from game to game.

I decided, after playing this game so long, I had never ever recorded anything ever. So much time, all gone. Screen caps lost in old PC's but nothing else. So the blog is my way to record what I'm doing in 11, one day I look back and enjoy the fancy youtube clips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
