Football Manager

[Jayhawk]

Question for you all.

do you when you set up a game, and take over for a manager, feel bad about them losing their job.

I wanna play as Chelsea, but I don't want to have Solari fired.

[Mod]

It's a game?

[Jayhawk]

It's a game?

:D yeah I know that. then again as a kid Oregon Trail traumatized me :D

[moi]

When my sister and I were little we used to have lengthy (ish) debates over which end of the jelly baby we should eat first - the head or the feet. I think your problem is similar, Jayhawk!

Have you changed your avatar again?

[Mod]

Don't be sensitive Jayhawk, sack him, then when you get bored of the game, put him back in the job, then you can sleep at night!

[moi]

Are you totally without scruples, Mod?

[Mod]

It's a game, he should feel more guilty about ripping it off the internet!

[moi]

Indeed - you are a Solomon among men!

[Mod]

[Jayhawk]

hahaha, sorry, was playing it. still suck though.

maybe I should drop down to a terrible team like Hull

Just change your name by deed poll to Kevin Keegan, then once it goes belly up simply walk away.

I never start as Chelsea, I try to work for it to make it more realistic, like your manager stats are crap when you first start so it doesn't look good :P

I always start off as Platense in the Argentine second division :D

this sunday apparently. needs a decent computer to run it i believe.

g4 tell us what it's like once it's ruined your life...

[Jayhawk]

its out, if you don't update your graphics card you won't see anything on it.

whats the specs? ive got a dell laptop with an onboard cgraphics and it handled the demo pretty well. not sure it will need any kind of ninja card.

[Dubzz 6]

I think Football manager would work on a Nokia 3210 the specs are that basic, i'm not sure what they are, but trust. It'll work, unless you of course do have a laptop which is the equivalent of a 3210.

my spec's dont fit it, and I don't have enough memory apparently to download it. and here in the states I can't get the psp verision. DAMIT. <_<

I prefer to take over Liverpool, sack/sell everyone possible and make Saint Stevie train 24/7 until he cries <_<

is it wrong that i do exactly that? i also make them play a formation of every player ( all reserves and youth) on the left and watch as they lose 25-0. makes me laugh every time. definately gonna get fm09, how many on here are gettnig it? got an idea from another site where their having an fm09 site records list. highest aggregate goals in a game, fastest goal, fastest own goal etc... anyone fancy it? we can have a nice shiny trophy (picture) for the overall records winner at the end of each month.

LOL!

I haven't played a Manager game since FA Premier League Manager 2002, when I had the star team of:

---------------Barthez

Ferrer - Melchiot - Desailly - Babayaro

Stanic - Hamann - Petit - Gronkjaer

------Hasselbaink - Aleksidze

We took the UEFA Cup by storm

I'm furious that the game isn't sold in Germany any longer - because of the copyright infringement! There's an organisation representing the copyright of every German club in the league here and they've given the rights to EA exclusively meaning any other game is restricted to fantasy names only. And even fan-made, non-commercial addons bringing back the "real" names and photos have been tracked by legal actions to stop distributing the addons. It's f*** sh*t, really. Oh yeah let's enjoy EA DRM sh*t and we're all happy here.

I've got it, as usual I bought Huntelaar for a steal (£6.4m) and as usual he scored me bags full of goals. Ribery is not shifting for any price :D Got £21m offer from Madrid (all upfront) for Carvalho... I took it!
