AcidBurn Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Not sure whether to start a thread for my new save now or to wait and see how I get on with it.My instinct is to hold off in case it's just a 'false start' and start it after I've played six months or perhaps a season. I don't want to start the thread only to abandon it shortly afterwards. After all, you can't force a save to become great. Any advice people? C. I would wait to see given how you have felt about FM09 recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlesbeams Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 really want to start a career game, but i know that i get bored of them quite quickly, so im writing it up in notepad first to see how it goes, probably make a thread after pre-season and a few league games.

I like your idea I've done 2 season in Gundo's challenge but I decide to wait abit before I posted mine as It takes a bit of time to do seasons but I never thought of using notepad;) My updates in Gundo's thread are just updates so in career the whole layout/detail needs to change and planed out to get people to read ect so the time to plan is there also.

Charlesbeams Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 yeah, i found the problem with notepad is it just keeps going haha, so i moved to wordpad, which is better. also ive gone through pre-season, and even though its gone quite badly, im enjoying it, and will probably post it soon.

DodgeeD Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 After a couple of weeks of following threads here, I have to say I'm enjoying the new forum. The main positive for me so far is that it has got me itching to start a career game as soon as possible! Alas, I'm too far into my challenge saves to get started now but I hope I get time to get round to it before the end of the summer. Or maybe I'll just continue one of my completed challenge saves over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apathetic Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Since joining the site i have found myself drawn to this area of the forum.

Just update at a pace that suits you mate - everyone does it different. And maybe play a few months at least, before posting - just to make sure it goes OK and you don't want to give up.

Raware Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm delighted with the response this forum has had in the past 3 weeks In just under 3 weeks since it was set up, there's been 49 new career threads which in my opinion shows the demand is there and i hope this forum continue's. I, like other's have said above, find myself drawn to this part of the forum's more than any other now, whether that's to update my own thread or follow other people's thread.

Gotta to agree I really like coming in here and having a good read of some of the careers. If you start your own I would suggest getting the first season played first as you will then be able to decide if you are getting into your current save enough to keep updating about. Also just do it at your own pace I like to update in Jan and at that end of the season but now I am playing a bit less I might update once every few months.

Like LLM threads? play so many seasons then update? there's were 3 before, think its something stupid like play 10 seasons then you can post...unsure but i had previsously thought about some sort of restriction to posting until your firmly into your game. I'd done 4 seasons with Gateshead/Swansea but got bored of it, may return to it but i feel i'm firmly into my Cork Career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd done 4 seasons with Gateshead/Swansea but got bored of it, may return to it but i feel i'm firmly into my Cork Career. As you probably know, the discussion occured about a minimum season rule when i started the thread about this new forum. I was one of the people who would've preferred a minimum season rule to stop people posting to never return but i have to say i think it's working with no rule in place. People that regularly update their post's get pushed to the top while the threads that aren't updated get pushed to the bottom of the page, which imo works quite well. As people said before, this way it isn't restrictive and everbody has a place to post then. BTW, i'm following your Cork City thread and enjoying it, good work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roolz Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Cracking forum - exactly what ive wanted (albeit silently) as ive never had the real desire to write a full story, yet at the same time I enjoy writing updates on my career and reading updates from other careers. Some really excellent updates in this forum, apologies if ive not responded in many threads - im like alot of others, I read whilst playing FM so I dont tend to post until its time to do my update.

Bennico Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Excellent, I must've somehow missed the addition of this new forum (thanks for the 'heads up' in 'GD' Dafuge), which for a long while, I have felt agreement with those who pushed for it's creation. A much needed part of the board, which I'm sure I'll frequent regularly. I'm just starting on summer holidays at the moment as have the kids coming to stay for school holidays, so FM time is going to be at a bare minimum, but I'll gladly contribute once september comes, and life resumes some semblance of normality.

PaulHartman71 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 fwiw the only time I've ever had a crash dump error was when I was edited the finances and the players in my current sign up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonaitor Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I assure all of you that I have not used the editor on this game at all. @Tenthreeleader: I think there is one but it stopped rolling a while ago. It's not that big a deal though but aannoying I have to play the same game for the 3rd time now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm quite sure I had a few with 09, before installing an editor or using the in-game one, but my memory may be failing me :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've had two issues with my FM09 save and I've never used an editor. Sometimes the save can just become corrupt. Someone mentioned on these forums that an issue can occur if you save the game, exit and immediately put your laptop on standby or shutdown. Also, there can be issues if the hard drive on your computer becomes fragmented. Have you run defrag on your computer recently Sax? C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
