I 'played around' a bit with transfers as it's just the demo, so my current two formations are:

-------------Lloris-------------

Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra

---Fletcher - Silva - Anderson---

--Aguero - Berbatov - Rooney---

and

-------------Lloris-------------

Brown - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra

-------Fletcher - Carrick-------

Valencia-------------------Silva

-------Berbatov - Rooney------

Will probably have to stick with the second one for the actual game as Aguero is a bit too expensive.

Shamikebab · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:03

How did you get Aguero, Silva and Lloris?!? That lot must have come to at least 90m surely? Did you sell a lot?

CliffyBiro · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:04

Just got my 3rd 6-0 in a row since using this form.

Fisk · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:06

Silva cost £28m, Lloris cost £25m, Aguero cost and edited demo price of £22m

In the real game I'd have to wait longer to get Aguero, at least a season, but I wanted to play around and see how well he fits into a 4-3-3 formation for me.

Argh every time I start a 3D game it resets my graphics drivers and then comes back and continues as normal. It's a real pain in the butt. I'm on catalyst 9.9, anyone else have this issue?

CliffyBiro · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:26

Found a bug.

Umm... Nani failed to accept a contract from At. Madrid before the transfer deadline so the deal was cancelled. I just offered him to clubs for £10m, Inter made an offer of that and then Nani accepted their contract straight away, I was expecting him to go in January, but then he moved to them immediately outside of the transfer window :confused:

Got a screenshot?

If you have email it to me at marclister at gmail dot com.

Shamikebab · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:49

Isn't Italy's transfer deadline different to Spain's?

Fisk · 15 Oct 2009 at 17:53

Possibly. He moved from England to Italy on 2nd September. Is that correct, or is it a bug?

Will do unless it turns out the transfer was allowed

Surely it doesn't matter when the Italian transfer window shuts? It depends on when the transfer window of the country the selling club is in shuts?

Shamikebab · 15 Oct 2009 at 18:25

I thought it was the buying club's transfer window that had to be adhered to?

Haydz · 15 Oct 2009 at 18:35

Been playing this the past 2 hours, i must say i am extremely impressed, i haven't done much in the transfer window though, i've signed Edin Dzeko for 14mil, great signing, scored 4 on his debut against chelsea

Anyway back to playing

If that was the case then British clubs could sell players outside of the transfer window. And they don't. I think you either need both buying and selling club to be within in their transfer window or selling club to not have a transfer window and the buying club the same or in its own transfer window.
