Marky Mark! Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Club Used: Gloucester City Small to Big Club CHallenge Used: Dafuge's Challenge Version: FM09 Summary of Why: Starting with a sub-1000 rep team which did not even own a stadium, I quickly moved up the leagues, reaching the EPL in the 20/21 season. The challenge was finally completed in 24/25, and in the following season the club went on to win the EPL title and CL title again, as well as the FA Cup, Community Shield, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup - only failing to win the Carling Cup (which we won back in 2023). With a deadly strikeforce, I think my team will be able to challenge the best the forum has to offer Link to season update: Here Let me know if I am worthy of a place in the Ultimate CSE League, if I am I will upload the save and PM you a link.

PaulHartman71 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 It's got to the stage where anyone can enter as long as they meet the criteria stated in the OP, so yes you are definitely worthy of a place in the Ultimate CSE League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Mark! Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Paul, I have just emailed you my save. A couple of notes with the Gloucester ground (which is currently owned by Cirencester Town), it was expanded to 12,500 on entering the EPL, and a 28,284 Gloucester Stadium is currently under construction - not sure if you want to incorporate any of this into your database. Also, I was thinking it might be interesting having a Man U or Real Madrid in the Ultimate CSE league just to see how our teams compare to the big teams of 2009 (and it would also reduce your databse creation time) - what do you think?

Ohanzee Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm terribly sorry I haven't replied to this earlier. I've been to busy to even turn my computer on lately. And I'm even more sorry I can't be part of this cause my save game is no longer. I played my game on my laptop and it saw the end of it's life a month ago.

I'm fairly certain that dafuge has sent me his, but I must have lost it because I don't have it in the folder where I've got all the other ones. 2.

PaulHartman71 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 What does everyone think I should do with regards to a 'season preview' like you usually see in magazines/newspapers in July, giving you a short but fairly informative summary of each team. I was originally planning to do them myself, but realistically it's the guys that have managed the teams that know their team a hell of a lot better than I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'd quite like to do that. Perhaps you could give us a set of criteria to cover, like key player, stadium size etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think the original criteria I had was: Small paragraph or so on the background of the team, how they were doing in their save game, e.g - Arshanal FC have been a key part of the Premier League for 10 years. During this time they have won 3 league titles, 4 F.A Cups and 0 Champions League's. Obviously a little bit more than that as that's just two sentences, but I hope you get the general idea How you think they'll do, e.g - I think Arshanal FC have a good chance of challenging for the CSE Ultimate League crown. A little bit more than sentence perhaps, but there's no minimum really. A little bit of Bias predicting is of course more than welcome. Squad summary/analysis - I'm not looking for essay's here, but at least a sentence or so on each position (GK, DF, MF & ATT) is the minimum. Key Player/s - Again, I'm not looking for essays here but a paragraph or so on the key players at the club, who will be crucial to the team if they are to do well etc. Additional Information - This wasn't in there originally, but if people want to they can use this space to put any additonal information if they want.

PRDH Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think that's a great idea. I'll have to fire the game up to have a look at my players, which is of course a huge sacrifice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRDH Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 When you've finished editing the teams can you send us a list of the players that are in the game. I remember you saying you might not include youth players, and I'm now about 2 years ahead of the save so will need a quick reminder of who I am actually dealing with. Cheers.

iacovone Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ah Savona (the future champions) are being created . I think we should draw up a list of potential top goalscorers, assist(ers), goalkeepers, etc for the end of year awards and do a sweepstake on it. I'm throwing all my money on Badini top goalscorer !

PRDH Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Pah! Savona! I laugh at your puny Italian side. All shall fall in front of the might Domes!

As a reader, i'd much prefer it to be an all users league, and they should meet some big teams in European competitions. Actually Paul, how does it work with the teams who are being replaced? Are you just straight up replacing the teams or moving the teams who were in the league originally somewhere else? That is probably worded terribly, and this has probably already been answered somewhere. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you just straight up replacing the teams or moving the teams who were in the league originally somewhere else? That is probably worded terribly, and this has probably already been answered somewhere. Hmm. It was worded quite badly but I understand what you are trying to say. So far I have just straight swapped the worse teams with the newer teams into the league, E.G - Fm08 Softies with Hull, FM08 Monkeys with Stoke etc. Once in there I swapped the created sides with the sides in Europe. However I have edited England's coefficient so only 2 or 3 teams are in Europe, this will make sure teams aren't crippled/tired so much, to put it scientifically it makes for a 'fairer test'. I had contemplated putting in the likes of Man United & Barcelona as well, but I think as good an idea as it is in theory, in practice the point of the sign up is to see which CSE side is the best, so to have Barcelona or Man United winning it (not that they would ) would perhaps be a bit crap. However once the sign up is eventually over (seems like a lifetime away!), I may consider placing say the best 10 or so CSE sides, in a season with the best 10 or so sides from real life.
