tigerhgrrrrrr Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Would it be possible, without too much extra work for SI, to release complete with each patch a database / save game option which has all results & stats saved up to the cut off point (usually 2-4 weeks before patch release date)?. This would enable you to manage a team from the cut off date (eg 1/2/09) with all results to that point resloved & archived - effectively managing from mid season with the previous club position set as IRL.

lurkingwithintent Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That would be pretty cool, would make for some awesome challenges as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chob Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 id like that but you should be given the choice whether to start from the cut off point or from the begining of the season when you first start the game. id defo give that a go if i could, makes for some interesting challenges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I dont think this is possible due to licensing reasons but I do like the idea of taking over mid season and seeing if you can achieve more than your clubs current manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 could the same thing not essentially be acheived by just going on holiday for half a season then retiring and adding a new manager at the club of your choice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurz123 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 No, as that would not incorporate irl results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerhgrrrrrr Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 That would be pretty cool, would make for some awesome challenges as well. Thats what I thought - I think we all as "managers" like that challenge of the comparison with our real counterparts. Alternatively could such save games not be programmed by SI & added to the downloads as "challenges"? I must add that it is the real life situation that interests, a random "Holiday - for - 6 - months" created save game would not be the same thing at all.

stuboy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You could holiday for 6 months then use FMRTE to set the table and the results as they were, bit of a hassle though and 3rd party apps can always be a bit dodgy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indi75 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I can't imagine SI has time to do that amount of work across so many leagues. It's not just the league table, it's appearances, and stats and altogether too much work for a team already struggling to find a balance between patches and working on the next release.

llama3 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 i tihnk licensing issues could cause problems, cos they cant use reallife fixtures in premier league etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You can set the table and results in FMRTE? You can edit the table but the cups would be different. SI could not do this anyway as then the real life fixtures would have to be in the game which they obviously don't have the license for as they are not in it now.

WeeScotsPaul Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 "Without too much extra work for SI"?? Erm... archiving every result for every team in the game so it is accurate halfway through the season? surely that would also involve player appearances, goals, assists, disciplinary points and a whole wealth of things. Why not just start your game in Brazil in January? That way the stats will be accurate for every team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my concern! - But if I do the Brazil thing will the Eng details be upto date for Jan or will results be randomly generated to that point?

Random, unfortunately. The Brazil league, on the other hand, will be really accurate as it won't have started! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

9sublime Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't understand why people like patches including the latest transfers on the database. Its unrealistic as hell, for example Tottenham having a different manager than they actually had at the start of the reason and different strikers. I prefer to bring it back to the original database but play with the latest patch. Anyone else as pedantic as me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoham Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Just load a league with a different start date. Brazil for December, and leagues like Sweden and Russia have start dates in January and February. Untick 'budgets in first transfer window' and it goes perfectly with the 9.3.0 data from the January window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way but sometimes I like to start a game with January transfers and let the game start in January 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
