[Schmeichels FM 2007 Update]

Before anyone thinks im having a go at this update im not, its actually very good and I would love to play it....however its simply not playable with the ages as they were in 2006, too much time has passed now we are in 2013.

Example:

Aston Villa - The game starts with them having 10 playable full time professional footballers (3 of who are goalkeepers), so you can pick from basically 7 outfield players.....with no money for transfers i might add.

The reason is that current first team players Lowton, Clark, Baker, Delph, Bennett, Sylla, Bannan, Westwood, Albrighton, Benteke, Bowery, Weimann are all at there 2006 ages so they are 13,14 or 15.

Its pretty much the same situation for every team in the league with at least 10 players needed to be brought in immediately. Unless of course half the team and 75% of the squad are filled with schoolchildren, a situation that would never occur.

Id prefer you to assign some figures instead of leaving it to random, especially on now proven premiership players. e.g. at Aston Villa you have Albrighton, Bannan, Lichaj etc. with absolutely no hope of making the grade when in reality they are playing most games currently. Also could you assign the correct positions to the youth players who are now first teamers instead if leaving it as random?

Think thats the last version ever released Seafire version 1.1, its up to the end of last season it looks like so only this summers transfers are not done.

It looks like this update is finished as he has been saying since 2nd July that he will either upload the last version or an update but still nothing.

The link is not working and the database cannot be downloaded.

It is a good update but it does have some problems, especially in the long term in regard to the player ageing thing.

For example, my club Aston Villa. In reality players like Delph, Bannan, Albrighton, Clark, Delfouneso, Herd etc. are now current important and active members of the squad and 1st team.

Yet when you start this game they are 15-16 years old, do not have the correct positions assigned, and in some cases are really poor players with no chance in hell of becoming a pro.

Which leaves you with maybe 16 or 17 experienced pro players in the squad at the start which just isnt enough. So a major assault on the transfer market is needed immediately which in real life would not be needed, if you see what I mean.

I assume its the same for other clubs who have had a high number of youngsters come through the system over the last 5 years or so?

Are you still updating this and going to release an update after the transfer window closes or have we seen the last release for FM 2007?

[Schmeichels FM 2007 Update]

Is it just me or does the actual match engine seem different on this database?

I have played this quite a bit and it just seems off compared to the official 702 patch. The match seems more 2008 or 2009 FM. Players not tackling, miss control, wild shots etc.

On the 702 patch I had a killer 4-4-2 which never failed to work. I.E. Aston Villa champions within 3 years, players like Young and Maloney and Luke Moore world class.

On this update I cant do nothing with the exact same formation, Young for example is garbage in the same position as on 702.

Any reasons for this or like I said is it just me imagining the match engine is different?
