Poll: The official Football Manager 2008 thread

What are the numbers underneath my players names??

i.e. Theo Walcott 5125014

 

[MarcLister]

Shirt numbers? Got a screenshot of the screen with the numbers?

 

[Kerplunk]

 

[MarcLister]

The unique ID in the database. Every player, manager, coach etc has one. Same for leagues, competitions, countries etc.

 

[Kerplunk]

Can I turn it off?

 

[MarcLister]

Course. Go into options and display/graphics menu I think. "Show unique IDs" or something.

 

[Shamikebab]

options - preferences - display and sound

uncheck show unique id's.

 

[Kerplunk]

Ahaha! Thank you! Thats better!

 

[MarcLister]

No probs. I think it is on by default but tbh it doesn't need to be. If you are editing the game then it helps but can't see many FM users being bothered with that.

 

[Bennah]

Personally, I did'nt even know it was there. Never had it appear before anyway.

 

[MarcLister]

Strange so Bennah you saying it isn't a default out-of-the-box setting for it to show then?

 

[Bennah]

Marc its too early in the morning and your confusing me

I managed to get Stockport into the Premiership and they have only just managed to afford a new stadium but the only thing is they're calling it the Gannon stadium. Why do they always name it after the last manager?

 

[MarcLister]

Marc its too early in the morning and your confusing me

Sorry.

 

[Kerplunk]

I actually suck at this game! Played 5 friendlies against god knows who lol, as Arsenal and lost all of them except one!

Next up, Bolton in the Premiership lol

 

[MarcLister]

Sounds like you have a better record than Mr Wenger already.

 

[Bennah]

Ive just managed to sign Guardardo (spelling?) before the end of the transfer window. Thats all my budget spent on 5 players lol.

Hes currently playin great on the left with Silva on the right.

 

[MarcLister]

How is Silva on the right? Thought he was weakest there?

 

[BoomAM]

Heres one for you all:
Do i replace:

With:

Baring in mind that Balotelli only gets played every few league games for the last 20mins of match, during all CL & cup games, and when 'the machine' is injured. And still gets about 15-20 goals a season.
FYI, 'the machine' is Bojan. He doesnt stop scoring.

I'd ideally like to keep Corradi and loan him out till Balotelli is older, but someone i think that'd be a waste of his talent?

Thoughts?

 

[MarcLister]

Personally I wouldn't. Corradi wouldn't play that often. And you seem to not want to loan him out.

Balotelli looks more than good enough.
