reo hustler Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I know a few people (not sport fans) who call every team like the New York Yankees. If I hear the words "Reading Royals" or "Arsenal Gunners/Gooners" once more... Oh well . . . Manchester United isn't a nick name, it's firstly a way of telling them apart from City, and secondly saying that when the team was formed, it made Manchester "United" (except for City). Leeds or Newcastle would be better examples... I love the history regarding the team as well but I'm afraid it's still a nickname (united). Nice try though . . .

5_is_better_than_3 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 That is true. Are you saying it's not a nickname? I hear people call them "Real" all the time. Also, why are you translating it? No one questioned it . . . No its not a nickname. The actuel name is Madrid Royal Football Club,dosnt the badge have the crown on it? I dont believe Real is a nickname,its just there way of sayin Royal. Los Blancos, Los Merengues are the nicknames and they translate into,The Whites and the The Jambs so really there nickname is The Whites, not the Royal or the Royalists or whatever.

Danny!! Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I would not mind playing as Miami FC at all! I don't really follow the MLS, (Since the two Florida state teams got kicked out of it.).. So seeing the USL would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los Blancos, Los Merengues are the nicknames and they translate into,The Whites and the The Jambs so really there nickname is The Whites, not the Royal or the Royalists or whatever. Think about what you're saying. If I refer to them as real, united, or yankees then that's a nickname. Do you understand? It's a shorter way of referring to those teams. If you read Wiki or something else then they won't state it as an "official" nickname recognized by the club. However, the discussion we are having is why teams add say "united" or "yankees" or "real" to names when they are supposed to just represent a city for that particular club. The official name of the New York Yankees is "New York Yankees." That would be no different than "Real Madrid Club de Fútbol" or "Manchester United Football Club" since nothing could be technically categorized as a particular nickname. We don't call them by those names though . . . If someone said real, united, or yankees and you don't know who they are referring to then I can't help you. When people are discussing football and they say real, I don't think of the queen. If they say united, I don't think of Newcastle. If they say yankees, I actually think of Americans. LoL! I'm sure you get the point though . . . By the way, it may be all different in another language. I'm referring to these teams in English terms. If you are the play by play announcer for Real, you aren't going to say, "we have Royal Madrid at new field (Camp Nou) for today's game." No one refers to these teams or stadiums in that way . . .

glenn28m Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I think that maltese football teams in FM09 although they can be viewed and also one can buy players should be playable as a league as there are other playable leagues such as Indonesia,India and other places round the globe. I also think that you should be able to manage them aswell which i think would give alot more versatlility. Does anyone see if it is a good idea, beacause I am a Maltese fan of this game and it would be really nice if i can also play with my favourite team in the Maltese League.

Mike7077 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 There are fans of lots of countries who would probably like to see their domestic leagues become playable. I'm not sure why SI should prioritise Malta, and I doubt they would. As it is, there is a rather large thread on this matter. It would seem, disappointingly, that SI have no plans to add new playable leagues in the near future. But when they do, I'd be surprised if Malta got in ahead of a number of African leagues and even some of the remaining Eastern European ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler42 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I loved the year FM added the Icelandic division but if you play in the Icelandic Divisions for 10+ years it gets really boring being a 10 Times champion and still a Semi-Professional team :/ I'm going to be honest and say I've never played any other divisions than England - Italy- Spain- Iceland and Russia.

adamjdyer Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I always get fed up of waiting for a player to finish his loan contract at another team before he comes to my team. Maybe in the future versions of FM there will be an opportunity to offer the loan club some money to terminate the players loan contract early.

Wrong thread, but you only have to wait for the loan to end if there is no recall clause in the loan deal. If the loan deal does have a recall clause, the transfer should happen immediately (if inside a transfer window). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson84 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 "No more small teams" huh ? :-D With the new CONCACAF Champions League debuting this year, and many surprise outfits doing just great in the qualifying round, I think now would be a good time to try and expand the northern american database a little bit ^^ The Canadians now have a proper domestic league going (and a separate championship for their big three), the continental competitions are starting to actually look good ... football's gone a step up over there :-) If you don't believe me, switch to Fox Soccer Channel ! I'm watching the game between New England Revs and Joe Public (from Trinidad & Tobago) right now. The triniteans have a 2 goals lead (away !) and are now leading 4-1 on aggregate. Football in the CONCACAF is no longer just about the US and Mexico :-) teams from Panama, Costa Rica and such are also achieving big results ! I know it's difficult to actually get good info and complete databases for those countries, but if you can get the scouts and licenses for Malaysia, there must be a way to do something about Costa Rica, T&T or Jamaica...

greekmike Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Dear Miles (if this gets to you lol) I have long been an fan of the football manager series, even in its days as championship manager... i even bought champ man italia. However for the past 3 years ive emailed and put into forums of the addition for a cypriot league, The cypriot nation is rising in football stature. especially on the international level including a 5-2 drubbing of ROI and a draw with Germany. Also Anorthosi Famagusta made the uefa cup proper! Plus this year Anorthosi are in teh Champions Cup proper while Apoel and Omonia are in the Uefa cup proper. I therefore see no reason why not to add this league when lower leagues such as slovenia, slovakia, egypt, korea, china, polish, japan, welsh, irish, belgium, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Peru and im sure more to mention if i was to open a new game now. What i propose is to allow me and my cousin the chance to scout these leagues for you. We are very serious about this offer and would very much like the chance to talk to Miles regarding this posibility. We would take it very seriously. including going to training sessions, press conferences, attending matches, and much more needed to scout these leagues for you.

Millie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree with you in the sense that Cyprus is a growing league that should be featured, however: [...] belgium [...] Really?
