Big Fish/Small Pond II - Sign Up/Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Due to me being a bit silly and not backing the save up, the previous thread ended a bit early. For those who weren't involved and want to have a look this is the thread.

The aim is simple. You join a lower level team and stay there for 20 seasons to see how far you can take them. Future transfers are set so you won't be moving about, points are awarded depending on league placing, promotions and cup wins so we have a winner at the end of it all. A lot of things are not decided at this point so I have created the thread for people to sign up and join in with the discussion.

Now the previous game was in Norway. It was going okay but once teams got to the top they struggled to make a big impact and didn't look like winning the league. The options now are to go with an edited Northern Ireland database down to tier 7. Should give plenty of chances at league success as it is not a strong competition. Alternatively we could put them in an elite league pyramid and see what they can do up against the big guns.

All players will start at 17 year old. CA will be maxed to give the players a better shot at achieving some success. They will be retired from international football and have injury proneness set to 1 so they play as much as possible for the club. Anyone interested please complete the below template. Remember this is about how well the club does so best to select the position you think a player has the most influence on how a team performs.

I think Northern Ireland might be too weak, with too many teams progressing too quickly, but that could be a good thing.

I like the idea of putting them into NI lower leagues. I think it'd be too hard in the English leagues.

Belgium was one of the places I considered for the first sign up. I like the funny league structure with all the play offs. I thought it was too strong a league in the end and decided against it. I am starting to think Ireland may be too weak a league now though and the players will just rush through the pyramid and dominate the top flight straight away. Don't think it will be interesting if they don't struggle a bit on the way up. Will have to do some test runs.

I like starting the players in Northern Ireland, whilst the players are obviously way too good for this league, it will be interesting to see how much of a difference 1 player can make to the team's overall performance.

Also, as you may have noted, I have picked a striker, but with defensive attributes and PPM - simply curious as to how that will effect him.

Problem with using US is there is no promotion in place so wouldn't be any rise to the top.

Can i just have the same player same stats.

i was crane

No problem

is the scottish system good to use or can you be relegated from division 3, also think the points system should stay the same as in the original sign up

Scottish system was always my first choice but there are only 10 teams in the bottom league so would restrict how many people can enter. I will be using the points system based on league finish from the previous game.

Also the forum which I was going to download the N.Ireland expansion from appears to have changed. It's a French language forum and my French isn't great so I am stumbling through it at the moment. Looks like they have changed domain name though and haven't exported the posts from the other site. Will keep trying to figure it out though as Ireland looks the favourite amongst people at the moment.

I was looking around the same french website I think, and it doesn't have the Ireland expansion for FM12 on their new site. However using Google's cache I managed to find this link: http://www.fmstorie.net/upload/FM12/Updates/Irlande%20du%20Nord.zip

Brilliant, cheers :thup: Just downloaded it and it has loaded up okay. Will make a start on creating the players over the next day or two and run a test run for a few seasons to make sure no problems. We should be up and running within the week.

Is everyone happy starting in Ireland in the 5th tier? Don't want to go too low as it will take too long to get to the top division and challenge for titles but happy to do so if that is what people want.

i think he means lb as he did the height in feet. Also, I dont fancy someone who's 5'7 but weighs 160kg being a professional footballer!

Edit: his bmi would be 55, which for the record is morbidly obese!
