Poll: The official Football Manager 2008 thread

Post match questions, if you say that a penalty given against you was awful or that you should have been given a penalty but weren't. That kind of stuff gets you a warning and carrying it on gets you a touchline ban I suppose.

 

[BoomAM]

Ive never checked, but is there not the equilivent of 'player interaction' for ref's?

 

[MarcLister]

Not that I know of no.

 

[Viper²]

Aye.. you were right Marc. Got a fine and a touchline ban though.

If you are getting players sent off regularly then warn them at first about their conduct and then fine them if they repeat the act of seeing red.

Perhaps also try and reduce the aggression or tackling hardness of the team.

 

[Viper²]

Thanks for the tips.

Currently top of the league averaging 3 goals a game and 1.5 red cards a game.

 

[MarcLister]

Pfft! 1.5 reds a game? Wuss!

 

[Viper²]

Now had 9 points deducted for going into administration with Man Utd.

Still top though

 

[MarcLister]

9? Should be 10 I thought.

 

[Bennah]

How the hell do you take Man Utd in administration?

 

[Viper²]

Have no idea.. I signed Kaka for a hefty sum and my losses were £2m every month.

Have no transfer budget now despite the clubs balance being £2B. LOL.

Ah thats why, you edited the data, and it always goes into minus after about 3 months.

Can I edit a saved game? I.e. changes I make now are made to the saved game?

 

[Bennah]

Nope, you cant edit saved games. Will have to start a new one if you want the edited changes.

How much did you sign Kaka for?

Who much is your wage bill p/week?

£61M.. not even worth it

Who much is your wage bill p/week?

£1.2M p/w

Strange how everything was all fine then straight into administration after a fine 1-0 win over 2nd place Portsmouth.

 

[syke]

To justify it, could use the FM Modifier i guess.

 

[Bennah]

£61m

Far too expensive even for him...

I cant really see paying really huge amounts for a player. At the start of the game, then £45m for the likes of Kaka, Messi, Fabregas, Eto'o etc but I like to wait a couple of seasons to see whos doing well.

With some negotations too, you can get some really good deals.

On my Chelsea team, I am after Messi, Ronaldo or Kaka but will have to wait till the end of the season to see if I get a good deal.

 

[syke]

^ same here. I'll spend upto £25m'ish for the right player though.

 

[Steve M]

Cool. So you will be testing FM09 soon then?

And don't forget the Fulham issue. Just delete them to save time with the eventual relegation.

Normally get early version of new games summer time.

Cool.

So do you get a free copy of the game when its out then?
