deadfncat Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 They gave the job to someone else. Just because I'm now 75 years old and weed myself during the interview. Age discrimination, that's what it is. classic Ive just started a save to play around with until fm12 rls http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8885/pepperpottsprofileattri.png yes, i just watched iron man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with Weymouth and im terrible! taking a few months off FM and ive lost my groove lost my first 5 games of the season then signed 2 great wingers. wona game 3-0 and started thinking i might be able to turn the season around then we lost 6-3 :\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypanimz Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I did the challenge with Weymouth this season. really enjoyed it, never managed to win the champions league in my 20 seasons. Was runner up last season but I havent been able to continue as ill never finish it before FM12 release. Next season I will participate in the thread and post my updates. cannot wait!

CSF Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 To be honest, I haven't really given it much thought. Much like this year, I'll be playing FM but not as part of this challenge as I feel I've pretty much done it to death and achieved all I can.I was debating whether or not to start an FM12 thread, so I'd be happy to hear people's thoughts. Please do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieManPat121 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Is the .ddt file required to start the challenge? Just wondering if I should start my dafuge game right at game launch or wait until dafuge posts the new thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsar Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 well gonna start holiday manager now and hope that the rules are pretty much the same as last year going for chippenham as that is who i always play so not worried about who else comes up in my saves so guess i dont need the full list of promotion candidates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmanley Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 AFAIK the DDT file only retained players for the tier 7 clubs. You can do this manually this year through the Database Size>Custom>specify conditions>players in division then select the 3 tier 7 divisions English Isthmian League Premier Division, English Southern League Premier Division and English Northern Premier League Premier Division). This is on the new game overview screen at set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawstraljan11 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 quick question @ dafuge. Does that mean I can finally manage FC United on FM12? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawstraljan11 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 what I mean is, is dafuge making some kind of new league for the lower teams? As low as FC United are, coz I really want to play as them for a good challenge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadfncat Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 FC united are in the Northern Premier League Premier Division so can be played if they get promoted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawstraljan11 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 FC united are in the Northern Premier League Premier Division so can be played if they get promoted Yeah I read that. But is dafuge making custom league for the Northern Premier League Premier Divison? Coz that's what I thought this thread was about... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadfncat Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 no. its not about custom leagues. What you do is holiday for a year and see who gets promoted to the BSS/BSN. Then use one of those teams and take them to glory Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawstraljan11 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 oooooh good thing I didn't wait for anything to be released. so then there is no need for me to download anything in order for me to do this? it's just about luck eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmanley Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sorry my post may have been ambiguous. What I was saying was that you can now make sure that when the clubs do get promoted to the BSN or BSs they'll have the right players. You used to have to use a special file. Apologies for any confusion caused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looking forward to the new thread. I'm going to be in here for the first time in my FM career as my favourite team, St. Albans City, were relegated to step 3 last season. So, it's time for me to take on the famous Dafuge's challenge!

drmanley Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sorry for the double post but the update day is now the 24th not the 25th!! So save your game on the 23rd of June for reloads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadfncat Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 hmmm im starting to think it may take me awhile before i see met police get promoted if anyone sees them, please upload the save. ill do the same for any hard to get requests Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaelS Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 It'll be up at some point on Friday evening. I'm glad it is. All though not a regular on your challenge this year (I actually got bored with FM11), I have always enjoyed your challenge. It is the very first one I play. So a new Fm version without Dafuge's Challenge would be like to play football without boots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanthal Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I've been reloading a few times and kept a few saves. No-one jumping out at me yet. Need to see the rankings.

deadfncat Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 haha same Lanthal. FC United seem to be the team that get promoted the most at the moment for me. The "rare" ones i have saved are canvey island, carshalton, hitchin, marine, redditch and worksop. maybe there are others that i just didnt notice. I have seen Met Police yet which is making me really sad, mainly because its nearly midnight and i should be in bed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to be either AFC Totton or Wingate & Finchley, although as these have just been promoted to Level 7 IRL I expect that is a little optimistic.

Scab Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Via the editor. If someone wants to have a look themselves, just load the db, make a Competitions search for "English", pick the league you want to check, then go to "Teams" and sort by the "Reputation" header.

We've never added any leagues, so unfortunately that feature won't make any difference. Unless we go for free choice on loading leagues? I haven't looked into the custom player retaining yet, but that may well mean the ddt is no longer needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. It just means that ppl have an easier way to add players/leagues. At least I think it should be mentioned in the rules that adding leagues on the fly is not legal. I still think the challenge should be as authentic as possible, meaning the league setup should be the same as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
