You shouldn't run into any issues.

I've formatted my machine many times and carried my saves across, just overwrite the files it creates on installation with your saved games.

I always backup my kits, logos, banners and player faces as well.
 
I got it running on my Asus Eee 701, 633mhz, kinda slow, but was fine!

Having to start my Sutton Utd game from back in 2012 :(:(:(:(.
 
Does anyone have a good guide to doing well in the lower leagues. Me and my friends are having a challenge to see who can do well with Redditch!!!

Any class players that can be picked up for this frankly awful team?
 
Question time! :p

Inter have made me an offer for Carlos Tevez. They are offering £7.75m up front and £23.5m over 24 months and 20% of the next transfer fee. He scored 9 goals in 15 appearances last season with 4 assists and 1 Man of the Match award. I also have Sergio Aguero, Wayne Rooney and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. I only have a lone striker but I can conceivably play Tevez/Rooney/Aguero in the three AMC positions I have. So sell or not?

Personally I'd rather not and I don't need the money.
 
I have Anderson, Luis Jimenez and Javi Martinez who can play there plus Silva and Matias Fernandez who could also play there. :D

Tbh I might not sell as its only a silly game to tide me over until FM09.

Sell tbh.
If you already have so many AMCs and a few of them can play up front, you might as well sell.
 
Anyone care to offer me some ideas on what to do to freshen up my current game?

I'm in 2016 with Stuttgart, who I joined in 2010. So in the 6 seasons with them... I've won 4 Bundesliga's, 5 German Cups, 5 League Cups, 3 Champions Leagues, 3 FIFA World Club Cups and a UEFA Cup. In May it'll be the end of my 7th season with them, and I'm on schedule to win the Bundesliga, I won the League Cup, still in the German Cup and still in the Champions League.

I've made £250m in the last three years (transfers alone) by selling a fair few of my top players to make it tougher, and I've kept the average age of my squad under the age of 24/25.

I'm at the point of recycling my team to build a new one up now, most of my players are late 20's and early 30's... so I'll be selling a fair few more.

My reserves are filled with some bright talent (they're playing in Division 3 of the Bundesliga... and reserves can field no more than 3 players over 24.) and the Under 18's team is incredibly strong. The reverses have won the 3. Bundesliga the last three years (reserve sides cannot get promoted any higher than Division 3).

I've been spending the cash I've made to fund my reserves/under 18's mainly, in the hopes that I'll get some breakthrough talent (I've had one or two big stars come through).

I'm waiting for the next International tournament (this summer is the Euro's) and I'll be applying for my first International job.

I'm tempted to leave Stuttgart after this season as there's nothing more I can achieve with them.

Could do, I haven't managed a top flight club in England yet... I was offered a job by United last season but refused it. :-/
 
It's taken almost 20 years in game, but I'm finally ranked number one in Europe :)

Really good achievement for me, built that team up from damn near scratch and I've carried them through 7 seasons... fantastic! :D

Won the Bundesliga, League Cup and the FIFA World Club Cup this season, the first time I haven't won the domestic Treble in 5 seasons!

I went out of the German Cup in the Semi final (1-0 loss, I put my reserves out against a Division 3 side... German Cup is a Cup I nearly always field my reserve side and this is their first loss in 5 seasons) and the Champions League in the Quarter Finals to Man United (4-1 agg loss, who eventually won it).

Despite that I'm really pleased with the season. I won it with about 9 or 10 games to spare, so the my youngsters got some much needed first team experience. In those last 10 I drew 2, lost 0 and won 8. All with a weakened side.

A job at Inter is looking like it may be going in the next coming weeks and I'm contemplating taking it, I may just stick with Stuttgart for another year though... we'll see.

Really hoping to get a decent International side after these Euro's are over though.

Oh and this season was made even better with Liverpool getting relegated from the Premier League... and them going into administration, being docked 9 points... get in :D
