podunkboy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 okay, is it a problem that I've ordered a player jersey from my save team's 2006-2007 season, featuring their kit sponsor "baguette express", just so I have something to wear while playing my save? Is it wrong that while Googling about on the internet, I came up with highlights of one of their games against Clydebank, and while watching it, finally understood what 3rd-level from the top football really looks like? To see the actual field they play on, and see the actual players that I started out the save with, and hear the fairly rough and adult language of the spectators sitting (or likely standing) near the person operating the camcorder in a fairly casual manner? I know that I will never watch a European football match in person, or sing along to some half-drunken cheer, but for 7 minutes, I was there, in Bonnyrigg, at New Dundas Park with my boys.

I have lots of brilliant ideas waiting to enter the game ;-). And I would love to make the stadiums in 3d look (kind of) like they do in real life. And I mean all the stadiums of all the playable leagues and below. Especially lower league stadiums need improvement. As a stadium fetishist, the 3d match engine simulating non-league stadiums as four side covered all-seaters hurts my eyes. I'd do it for free if SI hand me the tools.

deltablue Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Did the 'look up your players on wiki' thing recently, especially as I'm playing FM11 (as Chornomorets, Borys Taschy and Vitaly Balashov being the players in question) so the players will have a few extra years to look up, as well as rant on fb about 'death, taxes, and chairman interference to sell your most important player' being the three certainties in life, after he sold them both in the same season for just double their value, which seems rather a low threshold for board intervention. A friend of mine recently became a father and made reference to the budget slider, saying "Well, I'm currently getting a lot of use out of the same tool in real life. Naturally it's not transfer related (I've not made [partner's name] available on the transfer market [yet] ), no; I've been transferring my funds out of the beer budget, and in to the nappy budget..." To which I responded... "You're also going to need substantial investment in youth facilities, leaving far less for beer budget." He even followed up with... "In fact, while we're on the subject; X isn't in the squad - he's out for 48 hours with nappy rash. We could leave him with the physios, but we're gonna take the hit and send him to the specialist in the hope that a course of bepanthen will have him available for selection in less than 36 hours..." Having seen threads relating to FM-style comments on relationships, I have to say this sort of thing is always fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
