can i go from the default box install to 802? as i can't find the 801 patch and can't really
download it right now at work
Yes. :)

ok moved the programs folder and the my documents folder over to the new computer, when i load my save game i get an error. "the database folder with which this game was created could not be found. The game is now using the default database"

anyone got any ideas?
Shouldn't matter really. All the info the game needs is in the savegame.
 
i think it can **** confuse the db if you have tweaked the club rep or added extra seats at the ground
Tweaking the db or the game? If you are tweaking the game I don't see how it confuses the db. And if you tweak the db the game shouldn't take notice of it really.

And "**** confuse"?! :confused::o

Some of us have man sized pages :p
Meh! :p:D
 
Quite an achievement. I'd have given up or be sacked way before that. :D

Don't know which little team I would try and succeed with. My team is Man Utd so it'd have to be Salford (at Uni there) or MK Dons or even Leighton Buzzard (hometown). Couldn't really be Luton (birthplace).
 
I've had some experience of regens across several versions of FM and I agree they are all weirdly lacking in stamina or pace. Very weird. They are normally very good in other areas but just one little area lets them down. :(

The only thing you can do really is snap up any youngster you see with good physical stats then hope that your 7 star coaches (which we all have set up now right! :p) can up their technical and mental stats.
Yup. :)

Course I set my coaches up at the beginning. :D
 
I think the finishing stat only applies properly to strikers. Pique will be scoring loads of goals from corners probably by heading them in using his height and jumping/heading stats. :)
 
That sounds about right.
Theres a guy on the SI forum playing as Milan who has Barzagli on 20ish goals a season. By having Pirlo aiming at him all the time, and him set to challenge the keeper.
Yeah. Another thing is that finishing is meant for strikers going one on one with a keeper?

Whereas Pique or other tall defenders won't be going one on one as there'll be other players in the area. :)
 
User name there is dave byrd.

Yes, test everything, the games before they are released and the patches (all the different builds) before the retail/final version is released.
Cool. :) So you will be testing FM09 soon then?

As well as that, if you havent already you might want to sort out the Spurs / Pompey bug.
And don't forget the Fulham issue. Just delete them to save time with the eventual relegation. :D
 
Heh??
Think i read something bout poor portsmouth paying way to much for Dafoe but never heard bout fulham.
Not started new game yet (bit busy with Vice City as i havent finished it years ago :)) so if you can tell how to sort this issues b4 i start would be great.
Thanks a lot.
Pompey were set to pay Spurs £1m a game for 50 games. Instead of £1m or something like that after 50 games. :) There is an updated patch out with the fix for this.

The Fulham thing is just a dig at Syke. ;)
 
Rob a bank, get a new pc built, sack the Uni work :p
I like your thinking. :D Know any vulnerable banks in the Mancunia area? :p

I just wish that I was'nt addicted to Colin McRae Dirt as much so I can get some time to get back into the FM mood.
No probs with Colin McRae Dirt here. :D It won't run on my PC. :(

Going to have to wait until my quad-core new build late summer/early autumn. :cool:
 
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.
