Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 In my first season with Leeds just beaten Chelsea in the League Cup Final 7-0!

daylight Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Mah is no big deal to be honest. I won the league cup with Nuneaton when in the Championship,I beat Man Utd at Old Trafford on the way to the final 3-4. The reason it is no big deal is the bigger clubs all play their under 18 players with 1 or 2 reserve players,something SI should tune a bit for future releases. Although grats on the 7-0 win!

Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Don't forget it's in my very first season though, winning it on your 3rd/4th season is no big deal whoever you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty78 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well done. I would like to see the line-ups if possible. Interested to see the Chelsea team. I have won the F A Cup with Leicester first season on FM12 but only played Man City of the top half prem teams and won 1-0 despite getting battered. That was also on release and it feels like they have been downgraded a touch with the last update. Don't think I could do it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty78 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That Chelsea line-up is a poor AI choice which is what daylight was suggesting. That doesn't diminish your achievement though as you can only beat what is in front of you. This was mentioned in another thread recently about an AI controlled league one side that won the cup because the bigger sides played mainly there under 21's. Even the biggest sides play full strength sides in cup finals IRL which is why it is a bit of an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daylight Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Why play as Leeds if in the first season you play none of their players? Indeed. I have never understood taking over a higher league team and tearing it apart in the 1st season,I enjoy making my own team but I start at the bottom..the very bottom but even then it takes me about 2-3 seasons to change the entire team. Also I find players that do tear their teams apart have spent more time in the good player guide on this forum than they did playing the game for the 1st week they had the game,take that Leeds side 3 or 4 of those players are mentioned often in the forums. I guess people enjoy playing the game they way they enjoy playing the game,for me though I would rather find the players myself and play my own game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus1876 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Only in the world of FM is it easier to beat Chelsea in a cup final than it is to beat someone like Cardiff.

Just because you pick a top team doesn't you can't make a team your own. I care more about developing youngsters than first team players and I'll have success developing the world's best youngsters if I have a team with the finances to support a broad scouting network and top facilities.

Every player I've bough on FM or Chamionship manager have always been found/scouted by myself. I once heard about Cristaldo but refused to buy him as I heard about how great he is from people on a football manager forum. Regarding keeping the same team, as a leeds fan the biggest thing i was looking forward to from football manager 2012 was selling all the rubbish dead beat players in the leeds squad, obviously in real life I would probably keep snoddy/lees/clayton but on here it makes more sense to sell them as I can then bring in better players and have a more sucessfull save.

Rotation and prioritising fixtures is the sort of thing that must tie their programmers up in knots, to be fair. I hope they prioritise it on FM13 and find a much more realistic balance - where the AI clubs efficiently rotate and blood hot prospects throughout the season, and take league cups seriously in late stages, as occurs in real life. It'd make the world of difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niebiescy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Loaning out players to other Championship clubs for £2.4m per season seems rather unrealistic even if it isn't technically cheating. No wonder you had so much cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Not really, I sold snodgrass for £2.5m, in real life I would have got about £6/7M, in real I could have got about £4m for mccormack, also I could have got good prices on lees and white, so the point your making is a bit ridiculous really If the game would just let me sell them players for there 'real lifer values' rather than loan them out I would have done so, so swings and roundabouts come to mind. Also regarding 2.4m I got in loaning out that player they have a clause that allows them to buy that player for 100k at anytime, so if I sell mccormack for £2.5m altogether, whats unfair about that?

Jed_Leeds_ United_ Fan Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 So altogether i've spent £12.5M on players, in real life If I sold snodgrass,mccormack,lees,clayton I would probably have probably got more than £12.5m. Lets say anodgrass £6m, Clayton £2.5m, Lees £2m, White £2m, Mccormack £4m = £16.5m, see the point I'm trying to make If anything I'm less well off than I would be in real life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It is not a jealous thing at all to be honest,my Nuneaton save has far greater success. I think the point people are making is no manager would go into Leeds and sell their best players in season 1 and bring in a full new team of players in real life(as you keep bringing up real life). The point is a bit mute though as everyone plays the game the way they see fit. The subject has gone a bit off topic but going back on topic winning the league cup is pretty easy in the game with the way the AI chooses the players too play. 7-0 is still a great result but winning the league cup is not "great" success.

Hehe somepeople do get a little jelouse when one has great sucess Really not jealous at all. I think knocking Fiorentina out of Europe and beating Valencia with my newly promoted Politehnica Timisoara side from Romania is a far greater achievement than winning the league cup with Leeds when the big sides have rested all of their best players. My point still stands. In real life teams at that level do not pay out £2.4m to loan players who they could buy for £4m as you stated his value to be. Also think your value of £6/7m for Snodgrass is biased and out of touch with reality. You may get a few m but not 6/7m. All that those types of loan deals do is exploit a weakness in the game. I've seen clubs bid £5m to loan players before when they wouldn't pay £2.5m to buy them. Nopt sure what the developers can do about it as I'm not a programmer, but it's a clear flaw.

wattzy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Erm, Niebiescy, why are you coming on to someone else's thread and gloating about your own success? The guy simply is proud of his achievement, so why can't you let him be? Yes the transfers may be a bit strange, but that is the way he has chosen to play his game and that is up to him, it doesn't have to be done in conjunction with real life. Although I agree with the comments about Snodgrass. If he is worth 7 million then Vaz Te should have been bought for 12million! Snodgrass is worth no more than 2.5/3 million i'm afraid lad.

Premiership clubs pay £6/7m for star players from relegated clubs who have proven themselves in the Premiership (and it's very rare they receive anywhere near that much), not for Championship players who haven't proved themselves at the higher level.
