Nottingham Forest Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I’m waiting for Dan BHTFC’s update @Wavelberry. He’s hoping for a mid December/early Jan release. Usually goes down to about level 22. Although he usually goes to about 12 with the regional leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know Dan's is best but I thought I was going to have to head to Level 8 before it was released. As is I have now found a way to keep my Wick save... alive so can wait for Dan's to come out.

Defending an 8 match winning run, 1-0 down going into the last 10 minutes. Managed to get 1 back, but then looked more like conceding than getting the winner. They break forward and a defensive mistake sends them clean through. They cut it back, but it's slightly behind the striker and he fluffs his lines. We break back, a very deep cross to the far post and tap home the winner in the 93rd minute. I ****ing love this game.

Had you been on a losing streak, which will happen eventually, you'd be saying you hate it surely. Finished the season, and although the winning streak went by the wayside, ended up winning the league on the final day by a couple of points, so up to Serie C with me. Still stand by what I said about the game - even when it wasn't going well, I didn't get the usual feeling of lack of control in the game, and felt, for once, like I was actually making a difference with my rudimentary tactical nous. Recently started the new season very well after a bit of a re-build, and still enjoying the game. May end up starting a career thread on it, but not sure I quite have that kind of time on my hands.

Jimbokav1971 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I remember on the original CM the FOW wasn't an option. It just seems so normal now to not be able to see all attributes. I even remember playing with fake players from the start so that I wouldn't know who to sign, but even then it was obvious who was whom because the players were from similar Countries and with similar make-ups in the same positions. They were regens rather than newgens if you like. I wouldn't mind having another go at fake players actually. I was a fan at the time but I remember there were issues with attribute balance such as pace and acceleration not being linked, or you might have a player who's 2 best attributes were dribbling and marking for example, but the player had no linking strong attributes. I assume that's resolved now. I honestly don't know why I don't start with fake players, I would much prefer it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romano338 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 My first save will be as always with my fav team, Marseille! I'll use (at first at least, hopefully I can make it work) a system that isn't even slightly in the pipe IRL, but I think we have some players to use it! A 5-2-3, with Payet as a playmaker on the left, Thauvin as an inside forward and Mitroglou as a target. With Gustavo as a ball winner and Sanson as a CM, on paper it's really really good. Amavi - Sakai are offensive providers who can defend, but are mostly offensive, so it's perfect. The only problem IRL would be central defense, but in the game they look fairly good. Abdennour has great stats (despite being meh IRL so far) and Doria looks better than he should be. Kamara also has a ton of potential and his stats are already good. I'm planning on not bringing in anybody in summer, first because the window transfer is over IRL and also because I think we have quite a number of players. I could buy players who would come in next season though (ideally this winter but there is not that option as long as the summer window transfer is open).

deltablue Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks Rikulec. I had 790 every single time in my first season which didn't seem right. Not so much the figure itself but how it was the same every match when you'd expect it to change a little based on opposition and form. The cup and friendly matches were lower but it never got higher than that. I'll see what happens in the second season but I was suspecting a potential bug.
