Posted June 1, 200916 yr They mean bo110x, please can people stop stating that different players would be good / should be good / are better than they seem because they are good in a f*kin football game. Unfortunately Chelsea play in a real league in a real world. I'm just a bit concerned that all summer we're going to get the usual crap from the press back-up by more crap from people that have no idea what a player is like apart from what they've seen on a computer game.
June 1, 200916 yr Sorry about this, but... Weirdly, a few weeks ago, I got sacked by Chelsea. Because I'm useless on FM09. And guess who Chelsea got as their next manager?
June 1, 200916 yr All I know is that Guus isn't a good manager because Mikel is an 82 but Ballack is an 85, why did Mikel start over Ballack?!
June 1, 200916 yr First of all, I'd like to say that I don't play the football manager games, and only casually play Fifa online where I'll pick either Chelsea or Cheltenham and know nothing about the unknown players who are good on there. But in the same respect, I don't think it'd be right to completely disregard the players stats etc on some of these games, especially in the very deep ones ones like Football Manager - just because it's so well researched, and there's a good chance that the scouts they use will know far more than anyone who posts in this forum. You do know that Everton for example are known to use the Football Manager database to look for players, don't you? They pay extra to get exclusive early rights...
June 1, 200916 yr bah, what we need is more youtube scouting. ;) I may as well move this to gaming barn, or it will just escalate!
June 1, 200916 yr I've been playing FM09 for awhile now and Chelsea sucks! So finishing 2nd in the league is great ;)

June 1, 200916 yr christ almighty. do you think it costs 400 quid to buy up mayfair too? ;) You're on form today G4 He has also been trying to date Lara Croft for 5 years!
June 1, 200916 yr I think that goes without saying, Barn. I mean, on PES, Moritz Volz captained my team to Champions League victory. At the moment, I have Hasselbaink and a made-up South African guy leading the lines. :P I never really got into FM. FA Premier League Manager 2002 was one hell of a game though. Rati Aleksidze led my Blues team to Uefa Cup victory. :P
June 1, 200916 yr All I know is that Guus isn't a good manager because Mikel is an 82 but Ballack is an 85, why did Mikel start over Ballack?! guus obviously has the live update, mikel is 88 and ballack is 80

No professional scouts are used when making FM 09. They use people like you and me- in fact a couple of us were involved in scouting Australian teams players. We were rewarded with a copy of the game as payment! What happens is they get various people to make reports on players, then they are averaged and indexed according to league/country etc. They also enlist public scouting networks.
June 1, 200916 yr In the Israeli version Milan Baros is a £100m star buy. Barn is spot on though - if we bought players based on football game ratings we would end up with a team Kevin Keegan would be proud of.
June 1, 200916 yr Barn is spot on though - if we bought players based on football game ratings we would end up with a team Kevin Keegan would be proud of. I agree, but I'm sure it's happened in the past - it would explain the likes of Kezman...
June 8, 200916 yr Ruh Buh Juh, who did Chelsea replace you with? Hiddink? Edited June 8, 200916 yr by MHedges
June 8, 200916 yr Ruh Buh Juh, who did Chelsea replace you with? Hiddink? Nope, Ancelotti :D Thought it was a weird coincidence, really.
June 9, 200916 yr Ahh the beauty of FM, you don't have to moan about it just don't play it. After all, its JUST a game ;)
June 21, 200916 yr Seriously, i just signed Sergio Aguero for 41 million and he's on 120k a week on Football Manager. First game against Stoke he gets injured for 7 months. Someone call Kenyon too cancel the deal asap.
June 21, 200916 yr Aguero has been brilliant for me in FM, as has Rossi. Much as I love Football Manager, it does have a few glitches - the main one for me at the moment, midfielder Veloso is complaining about not getting enough games, but he's laid up with a broken leg!
