superwalli Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it counts as a FM story. The idea is, that I'm not managing a club or nation, but watch the game develope as an unattached manager ingame, and a journalist in the story.

mavericktango Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I would have thought if you wrote it as a series of acticles it would qualify as a very interesting story but not if you just wrote "Man utd won league this year, Chelsea won cup" "Chelsea won league and cup next year" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
