XaW Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) @darren1983, since the lowest tier in Norway is visible, but not manageable, I'd say for Norway the best way is to holiday for a year until after January 13th 2021 and then find a team in one of the divisions in 3. division and then save scum them to promotion, the season rollover is then January 13th 2022. I did it with Follo now and will post my profile picture up in a bit. Edited November 11, 2020 by XaW 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Just noticed a potentially nasty bug for teams with players in amateur contracts. I've reported it, but for now it could screw up things for teams with many players on amateur contracts at the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallimuse Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm going to have to be less adventurous and return to Europe I think as I've just encountered another bug in my new save, all the players are considered non nation born despite all being Mexican so I can only register 2 players for the league .

I do intend to pick up the (new) game again at some point, and the above is the reason why I won't start the challenge on a Beta version. That, and I'm still not over having got through 10+ years difficult years in Belarus to find out my team wasn't eligible for European competitions. I look forward to joining you all eventually, though. No idea which country I'll start in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_e Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I also looked at Siena @Diego D10S, but I got scared looking at the age of the key players! Will be interesting to see how you handle that. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren1983 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Had the game nearly 24 hours now and not only have I yet to even press continue on a save I'm yet to even pick a country I have nailed my options down to 2 sides now though will either return to England (because I clearly love the slog) with my local team (kinda) Kingstonian and they come up pretty often so no need to reload lots for the,. My other choice is much rarer it seems and that's Dynamo Berlin (Or BFC Dynamo in game) in Germany. They used to be the biggest side is East Germany before the Berlin wall came down helped massively by the fact they were the team of the Stasi (the secret police of East Germany) so I love the story of the returning to the game as a home grown side to first take on the new big dogs in East Germany from Red Bull and then taking on Bayern but they are hard to see come up so am doing lots of reloading right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same issue although I brainstormed about the choices before the beta came out so I could get straight into playing! I wanted to start in a tier as low as possible and I did not want to play in England, so that kinda narrowed it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gunna do something similar to this later in the game (not as part of this challenge) when the custom databases start to come out and I can take an old East German side from tier 6 up to glory.

metallimuse Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Ok so I've returned to Europe and decided to have a bash at this in the Belgian leagues as one of my mate loves having a save there and I've yet to try it. Here's the man who will be guiding this former top division team who are trying to find their way back to the promised land after being punished due to dodgy dealings and expelled into the wilderness. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloyd_doyley Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Feeling confident about staying up in my first season with Bonnyrigg Ross, and praying for a decent intake. A keeper, centre backs and centre midfielders are critical! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 First competitive match.

thomas_e Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Jesus christ you get so used to quality players when you play many years on this challenge. It makes it even more difficult to start up again. 10 games into a Serie C season with Trentano and we are still yet to win a single game... I only have two full backs and they are averaging 6,3 and 6,4 avg... I might just look for another country. What a depressing start! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarp Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 @darren1983 would it be possible to add countries to the hall of fame? So it's easier to spot what countries still were not finished in this challenger (ever).
