PaulHartman71 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 just an idea, but if say somebody by change get one of the more rare teams to pop up, before they start the challenge, maybe they could upload the database so other people can have a go at the rarer ones without having to reload excessively?

Shandiar Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 217 loads in, and still no Swindon Supermarine yet... i'm struggling to get worksop so i think you'll be lucky to get the lowest rep team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scab Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Anyone get Corby Town or Worksop in a reload? Wanna know if i'm wasting my time holding out for them. Worksop Town Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Cool, just got myself an assistant manager, so first thing I do is click on team report, to have it confirmed just how many bad players I have in my squad, and teh ass man is recommending players that could fill my striking hole. And he can get loan availability reports. These look like useful additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I have saves of some of the 1000 rep teams and also Mangotsfield. Happy to upload them if someone can tell me a nice easy to use file upload site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowcrapup Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I've just seen something weird on the 3D. The keeper ran forward and went to pick up the ball but missed, somehow it went through his hands and legs despite moving away from him, allowing one of my players to tap it in :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Daf - Would it be a good idea perhaps for everyone that gets a sub 1000 team to upload their save game (obviously only once for each team) and then you could put all the links in the OP?

matty_8 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That would be amazing. Good luck to both of you. I hope it goes well. He has a tendancy to quit games when hes not doing well, so I hope he does just so the game carries on. Maybe one of us in BSN and the other on BSS.

Sleeman Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Took over Leigh Genesis ( liked the name! ). We will see how this goes don´t think I ever made it past league one . Only way to play fm though SI should really add this as a quickstart to the game. Starting Profile Bleh is there anyway to know if you clicked in the "fill missing staff" box?

foost Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Love the English Trialist day! I guess it's new since I did not see it before, but very nice and handy!

Elnaith Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, going for Merthyr, shame it has so much rep really, but I want to play a Welsh team in FM2008 Wales made it to semi-finals in the EC, with about 3/4 of the team having Merthyr history. Might actually go back and finish the challenge off, but want to test out 2009 now, so here it goes: http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9619/dafugeun5.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbster Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 After losing my two friendlies, I was anxious going into the first match of the season against recently relegated Lewes. Not sure how but we managed to win 2-1, so that has to be a good start to the season. Just want to clarify that I can scout/trial players from this screen because I have already got a gem of an American player from a reccomendation from my ass man on that screen, after trialling him first.

Yes, the editor cannot be used to change reputations. With a reputation of 950 I think it would be possible to see Buxton appear, but it might take quite a while.

Dons Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Encouraged by the season start this year! 15 games into the season we are on 4th place and actually managed to score some goals. Unfortunately - my top scorer is a loanee from Everton, who is on a short term loan. Super Kyle has managed 5 goals in 9 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You managed to get Jutkiewicz? It's got worse! Didnt get him pre season, tried 5-6 times and he accepted. You are doing better than me, I'm stuck in mid table struggling for consistency. I'm slowly starting to find a style of play that works but my strikers are useless, the only player who scores is a loanee from Blackpool. Tried a formation a havent tried before, normally play flat 4-4-2 Have attacking wb's and wingers and arrows show the rest. This works for me. My only real problem is the keeper - None of the two i have am i pleased with, but as long as i score more than i concede, it will have to do.
