Pacman Jones Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Also a reply to BlademanX, i played ok in the ACN but i got beat by ivory coast in the QF's. Eto'o was just on fire and Yak and Oba just fade out of games sometimes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 What are you drivelling about VonBlade? :confused: It's one of those "in joke" things. Either you know and are nodding, or you don't and that's that. But for having such a ridiculous nickname, I'll oblige. Adam "Pacman" Jones is an NFL player who had the talent to be the best in a while, and the riches that brings. But he thought that all that money just meant he could be a punk/thug without consequences. Thusly I was pretending, for the mirth value, that this Pacman Jones is the real one and berating him for his conduct. VB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBC#1 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think on fm 08 ive only won a league with shakhtar and thats not a challenge since every other team is terrible and i only secured it on the last day which is embarrasing. i generally am very bad a fm but nonetheless love it for its difficulty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacman Jones Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 About to play the African Cup of Nations 2010 Final against Cameron, and as this topic is about diasters here is one that happened to me a few minutes ago..... Before the tournement began my second string GK was injured for 2 months so he was not in the squad. I took 2 GK's with me, one of which is 1st choice Enyeama. We win the semi final, next day he decides for bare jokes...... TO BREAK HIS HAND!!!!!!! so hes out of the final and the no 3 GK sits on the bench at darlington every week, and now hes against cameron's front line. I am gonna get thumped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacman Jones Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 to update once more, my goalie had a nightmare game i came back from 2-0 down to 2-2 with some good tactics and then my goalie got rounded once more even thou im playing deep and then Yak has a penalty in the 86th to equalise and he misses wildly, and lost the game. FM can be so cruel sometimes lol but I WILL BE BACK!!!!! (well i won't im gonna quit after the world cup and join another side) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy20 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 i want to earn the chance to play as real madrid. I always have started unemployed or chosen the worst team in a league. I hope that soon my rep will be high enough for me to get a big job. Nigeria do have a really powerful squad and a great strike force, good players like Yak, Yobo, Uche, Oba and Obi. Im just gonna play the world cup then hopeful do well enough to get me a nice job elsewhere Thanks for sharing your woes guys Keep them coming Big respect to you for doing it the hard way. I have never been able to start a career game as a big team, I have in the past started with my favourite club Leicester City but they were one of the poorest teams in the prem at the time and then later on a championship team. I usually start unemployed too, feels good when you get a job even if its a team bottom of the conference south or something! It's a challenge to do it that way and the reward is greater when you win something or get a bigger job after a while. Just thinking of all my years playing CM and FM I can't remember winning a major title. I have won the league cup with Watford but thats not really a major title. I don't think ive won the champiions league or premiership.. or the world cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drummer from Fairuza Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's amazing how some people can't resist the chance to brag. The more they brag, the smaller their willy, I think. Hat's of to you Pacman Jones, for staying honest to yourself, and playing the game in the true nature it was meant to be played in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I actually must add to my earlier post that this year, in FM08, I started a career game in which my idea was to get to the top as soon as possible and to go for glory. Normally I play with one club and try to take them up as far as possible. This year, I decided to start at the bottom but just keep jumping ship to earn the right to manage a big club. Then I was going to try and win as much as I could. Sort of a glory hunting game really. As usual, I started at St. Albans City and spent far too long there for sentimental reasons but got a few promotions and won a league or two. Finally I managed to move on and went to Derry City and failed miserably to achieve much with them. Two seasons on I managed to get to Kaiserslauten and got them promoted to the German top flight. I had a spell with Ghana in which I won the African Nations Cup (which is my first ever knockout cup in the FM series, I normally never win cups!) After the African Nations tournament I completely ruined Ghana's World Cup Qualifying campaign before I abandoned them and jumped ship to Leverkusen, figuring that they would provide the opportunity for me to finally get some glory. I failed quite miserably with Leverkusen and then tried to apply for every big club going but got rejected for the lot! By this point I got fed up and decided to finish my career. It was good fun but I've decided that I get much more attached and sentimental about games where I play as just one team. Like others have said in this thread, I would feel a bit empty by just starting a game with a big club and winning the Champions League or the Premiership etc. I'm facing the fact that if I want to win a major trophy on FM09, it is going to have to be with St. Albans City! I'm a fairly slow player and it takes forever for me to get to the top so I suppose that I might never win a big trophy. However, if I ever do win the Premier LEague or Champions League with St. Albans City, imagine how good that is going to be! C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyss616 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It took me about 30 years to win a major trophy (CL with AFC Wimbledon) and about 40 to win the EPL (with Birmingham). Took Slough to the EPL and almost won the title, but lost my last five matches to finish second by a point. So I know your frustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFCrhys_keanoFTM Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 In FM08 I regularly win trophies with my AC team, two Serie A titles in a row but I always falter in the last hurdle in Europe. Still Italian cups come easy too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpico Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm the worst manager ever. I'm tactically inept, which basically means I stand no chance. I'm watching all 90 mins of my games to see if I can spot where I'm going wrong, but search as I might there's no "rubbish-good" slider for me to adjust. I haven't a clue where even to start. All my settings make sense. Defensively minded MC, one a little more attacking. Wingers that look to push on when possible. A conventionally set up side basically. But alas, not only can't my side even score, getting a shot on target is an achievement. What have I learned from this afternoon's experience? Maybe I should stick to Company of Heroes.

Klimowicz Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 i went 5 years without winning anything with... real madrid! i still kept my job due to consistant top 4 finishes, and as soon as i won the spanish cup, the floodgates opened. CL in the same season, league title by 20 points next, the by 25 points with another spanish cup. the secrets to my sucess were lucas (before he moved to liverpool irl) who was my captain & mikel arteta, who had an amazing assist/goalscoring record. that was on fm07, i find winning things on fm08 extremely easy in comparason...
