lmiddleham Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 What do you find the most fun way of playing a long career game? Do you prefer to start unemployed and try and build your way up to being a top manager working worldwide or is that too tough and you start high? When you're watching the games do you watch whole matches or just go for extended or key? Do you think you see anything more to help your tactics by watching something more detailed than just key highlights? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got for a top team (man utd) and do a few seasons to get a feel for the game and learn new features then start an afc wimbledon career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbyshuss Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 start unemployed, low rep and jump clubs as my rep picks up I play commentary only (with goals highlights) so a season goes by really quickly, which is handy if I'm having a complete nightmare as it's soon over.

Punchdrunk Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I usually do the Dafuge challenge and go from there. Although last year i ended up just going straight in and picking Boreham Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmiddleham Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Looks like lower league management is the way to go. I think I'll start unemployed and see where I end up. I'm watching key highlights of the match though, I'm not keen on commentary only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregUK Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I like to use Wiki to find interesting clubs abroad (in europe tier 2 or 3 mostly). Have to have good colours....no red!!! then play on full or extended... no rush here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broloi Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I use an online diceroller to decide which countries I'm going to play in. I randomly choose 5 European countries and 5 other countries. And my rep and employment depends on which countries I'm able to manage in. I'll mostly try and build my career from the bottom tier of the lowest country.

Technique Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I started my first unemployed save. I chose Automatic reputation and I was offered a few jobs, I chose to accept the offer from Fleetwood Town as they were 19th in the BSP (season 2 of the game) and I've played about 15 games with them now and we are 7th in the league. Really, really enjoying it. I'm using commentary only for my matches. I like to tinker with my tactics a lot rather than watching the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbh Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'm not bothered in playing with a small club and showing my 'skill' on this game, you don't have to be a small club with small finances to be good on this game. I'm currently playing as Newcastle and i'm absolutely loving it, i finished 4th in my first season which took everyone by surprise. I'm into my second season coming up to christmas time and i'm still up their with the 'big 4', bullying big clubs like manchester united/city and the top teams in europe like PSG. That's all boys..

anagain Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I usually start unemployed with my reputation set to semi-professional manager. I'm a slow player and I want to get a decent length game going so that's the reason for semi-pro rather than Sunday league. To be perfectly honest I actually find it rather unrealistic to start as a Sunday league footballer. Players at that level don't get jobs as managers of professional clubs. I watch every match in full to make the game as detailed as I can possibly get it. Like I said it all makes for a slow game, but I feel more managerial that way. If I had more time I'd manage the reserves too. One day I'll make it from the depths of football to the dizzy heights of the top of the professional game.
