dankrzyz Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm not a big fan of too many stickies. Hopefully once people start playing the game the anecdotes thread will start to be used more often, as it was at times with FM2010.Maybe it needs a catchier title? I'm not a fan of too many stickies either, but this forum is good about not flooding the top of the screen with them. In my opinion, a sticky for the Anecdotes/Updates thread would be warranted, to ensure it gets used by newcomes and regulars alike. But I defer to our good Mod...

Jason the Yank Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Sounds good, I plan a decent MLS career at some point on FM11 so hope you are successful in making it all adds to the realism of the game. I now have: 1. All newspapers in MLS ciities and their beat writers (it looks like the National Post and Globe and Mail, and Chicago Tribune do not have dedicated writers for TFC and Chicago Fire respectively, at least not that I could extrapolate from stories on their websites) 2. Other non-newspaper sources: ESPN, Soccernet.com, FoxSoccer.com, Soccer America and Sports Illustrated. From them, I've added Alexi Lalas, Jen Chang, Steve Davis, Allen Hopkins, Jamie Trecker, Paul Gardner, Ridge Mahoney, and Grant Wahl. 3. Plan to add the CBC and TSN as Canadian media sources. If rancer or other Canadians could let me know some of the personalities, I'll add in specific journalists for those media outlets as well. 4. I will test out of the above edits in a game, and if it works then I'll probably end up adding some of the fanzines like Buzz Carrick and 3rdDegree.Net. 5. If you have other media sources or personalities that I'm forgetting about (just remembered Glenn Davis myself), let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Canadian TV personalities: - TSN: They don't have a Soccer analyst - Rogers Sportsnet: Gerry Dobson, Craig Forrest - The Score - James Sharman, Kristian Jack, Sid Seixeiro (tbf, he's a news anchor but he co-hosts 'The Footy Show' with Sharman and Jack, both who are also bloggers on The Score), Joe Ross (blogger), Thomas Dobby (blogger), Brendan Dunlop (blogger) - CBC Sports - Jason de Vos, Nigel Reed, John Molinaro I hope King Jeff knows some more, these are from the top of my head and a quick wiki check.

Jason the Yank Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Just wondering what star rating people get when loading these huge journeyman career games. I've loaded 25 countries with 64-ish leagues. Still gives 5 stars on computer performance, but only 1 star for game speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hmmm. May need to do some extra work on the media edit. Nick Dasovic just got the TFC job, and at the press conference was fielding questions from "A Journalist" with Sports Illustrated, Soccer America, and the Washington Post, but none of the Canadian outlets. IIRC, SI lists TFC as an "American" club, but I set the Toronto newspapers to cover TFC. :/ Wonder if I have to set them to cover United States in addition to Canada.

rancer890 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Why is TFC considered American in the game again? BTW, I haven't started a career game, is it possible to add in the media outlets and whatever after I start a game and add it in later? I'm mainly waiting for correct media outlets and real agents file and then I can start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason the Yank Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Why is TFC considered American in the game again? Think it has something to do with MLS being the US top division. Cardiff and Swansea are listed as English clubs. BTW, I haven't started a career game, is it possible to add in the media outlets and whatever after I start a game and add it in later? I'm mainly waiting for correct media outlets and real agents file and then I can start. Dunno. This is my first crack at editing. The good news is, the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun were represented in the pre- and post-match interviews. I'm still getting "A Journalist" listed though. Also getting the likes of the New York Times showing up at a Columbus-Toronto press conference. I have a pretty good guess as to why that's happening. (I've had all the US media outlets set to cover MLS, the US Open Cup, and CCL competitions. So I think that's why I'm getting that sort of thing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized that a lot of xml files from FM10 aren't working for FM11. I'm editing or recreating leagues so bear with me mate. I haven't even played the game because of the editing I have to do.. Although Tunisia still doesn't work because no teams in the Amateur IV division so I'm working on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had messem's NZ file and it crashed on me so I had to edit that. I'm also in the process of editing some Asian league xml files from last year because I'm not sure if they're working. German file also crashed on me so I redid Regionalliga, and might do the 5th tier if I had some info. If anyone has a working Tunisia file I would appreciate it thanks.
