They need to reduce the amount of goals disallowed for offside though - doing my head in! Every game there's 1 or two, getting so 40% of 'goals' are ruled out !

Yeah, got it on Saturday night after paying for my car insurance. A little treat if you will!

Love it at first feel but I'm struggling to sign players. It's very realistic mind. Players such as Jamie Mackie are turning me down to join the likes of Burnley!

I've brought Mark Bonner back to the club as Head of Youth Development, keeping Neal Ardley on as Under 18s Manager but brought in an Under 18s Assistant Manager to help him. Tried getting Eric Cantona as Director of Football but he wanted just a bit too much money.

Played four games in pre-season against Le Havre (2-0), Sheff Utd (2-1), Newtown (2-2) and Rhyl (2-0) using a mix of first team players and youth. I am a bit worried that there might be too much detail this year. It's beginning to feel like a full time job! :D

Total waste of money. Group project at university was to make a similar smaller scaled version in Java. Nothing hard about it at all. Completely scripted with a few algorithms thrown in for random events. Possibly one of the biggest rip offs of games there is.

Love posts like this :lol: If its so easy to make why have other formats tryed and failed in football manager genre.I'd love to see your version and I bet it has nowhere near the detail and depth of the game.

The game has detail and depth because it has many editors working on databases. It has many statisticians working on it also to gather data. However, the game is completely scripted with a random factor balance which for me ruins the game.

People had the same belief that FIFA was scripted in some aspects in gameplay which gave the AI a sort of power boost which helped them score or made them impossible to break down. It turned out it wasn't true. If you look at FIFA's CM transfer window, its scripted with random chance. You'll often see the same players linked with the same club. Suarez to Spurs, Modric to Manchester United on the last FIFA.

I see FM as nothing more than a glorified combination of spreadsheets and databases linked by algorithms (code) etc. Maybe that's because im a programmer, I dont know. :|
