Stevooo Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Am I the only person fed up with every football game where newcastle are title challengers. I was hoping it would be different on football manager 8 but no. Im guessing at the head of evry buisness there is a newcastle fan. Its not my tactics or am a poor team, ive one 8 in a row with united and in that run ive beaten arsenal at home and liverpool at anfield. whenever i play Newcastle with manutd chelsea realmadrid (championsleague) they out play me in evry way possible with the superstrong never injured michael owen the powerhouse centre back which is steven taylor, shae givin who i presume can slow down time. Im at the point where ive added a new manager to the game as newcastle manager sold evry over-rated player and screwed up the tactics. IS it time every game from fifa to pro from championship manager to football manager stopped over rating newcastle (i know there are people that ease past newcastle sure to be reading this but take a look at where they are in your league am i right to assume that there 4-10 place in the league) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 On my game, they've just been relegated for the second season in a row, having gone into administration in the Championship. They still have Michael Owen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 My Nottingham Forest team (in the Championship) has just been drawn against them in the League Cup. They're 18th in League One, but it's early days. I expect a win, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red5928 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have been playing FM for years with Newcastle and they have had high hopes i have always ended up mid table. Now on FM08 iam having a good second season i Q for Champions league and am sitting top of the Prem League this would be true to life if we could attract the top class players like in FM08. In my team i have Van der Vaart who is mega and freddy Adu. but my best buy was Donavan from LA Galaxy he is proving a real match winner!!!! As a Newcastle fan i do like to dream!!!! One day!!!!

Stevooo Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 in which case can use give me some advice on how to beat me cause either A)they out play ,me with there clinical finishers making me look pants B) i out play them but one long ball back to my keeper he controlls it and his 2nd touch goes like a mile ahead of him for a simple goal C)well not exactly a newcastle thing against me but an average player takes an average corner and a small player with an average heading ability exploits the average patch made by SI and smashes it home while i scream abuse at my screen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I just lost my saves but I started a new game with Birmingham (in CCC) and in March Newcastle were 14th and I beat them in the FA Cup away from home.

Ruttsie Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The reason Newcastle do well in many FM games is the same reason England always challenge for Euros and WC. Their individual players are far better than the way they perform as a team makes them look. As FM determines results on players ability, they perform better. I cant remember who said it, but whoever also complained that Newcastle can attract top players, that is true to real life. If you look at the kind of players Newcastle sign compared to other mid-table teams they can attract big names, such as Owen, due to the size and passion of the club's fans and the potential the club has in terms of financial power and stadium facilities.

Masquerade Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If it was completely true to life nobody would bother getting it, they'd just record match of the day every Saturday.

FM is only a game, which works by writing lots of code, and therefore governed by rules. In real life many other factors come in to play and many different things can go wrong. In FM if you have a team with a decent group of players (Newcastle, England) then they will more than likely do well without much management. In real life a group of good players doesn't always equal success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
