syke - Nice list of players. :) New rule though. :D First and last names of players (if applicable) and the clubs they start at in FM08. I cannot find some of these players because half the world has a similar name. :p
 
Yeah. The site is getting hammered. Suppose the fact its out late means the ones needing a fix will download it tonight/early morning and when I get up it'll be OK to download.
 
No. You can carry on with saved games when you add a patch but the game has already been made with the previous database. Any changes to the match engine etc and fm.exe should be seen but in terms of database updates you won't see them until you make a new game.

That's why I half love, half hate patches for FM. I'll be doing well on a game and then a patch comes out so I feel I have to start a new game. Plenty of people don't bother with making a new game though. They'll install the patch for the bug fixes but won't bother with taking advantage of the new database.
 
Haha brilliant bug! Didn't know about that. So because you got promoted from the Championship and not relegated or even stayed in there the board were unhappy? :D

You can understand that Man Utd don't make those kind of demands on me. :p
 
Yeah tell me about it :o

"Your not an established Championship side my boy... we're going to have to let you go..."
"But we're in the Premiership... and we will be next year too... I kept us up!"
"Premiership? Ha what is this thing you talk about!? Charlton, Sunderland and Scunthorpe are the only clubs I want to play against... they'll bring in the real money!"

0_o
:D
I ended up using that FM Cheat to give myself another couple of months as manager :o It was the only way around the bug! I didn't want to leave the club I'd done so well with!
:eek:
 
You could try offering him a new contract, sometimes that works. If not you've got problems! :D

Btw I have edited my first post to change the link for the patch. It now points to the final patch thread on SI Games' forum rather than the beta patch thread. I would post the links but there are loads so I'll just leave it.

And remember if you find any new sites or tactics/graphics that you want to share with us, let me know and I'll add them to the first post. :)
 
Anyone got any ideas in the challenge idea that was mentioned a few posts back? I'm interested in doing it or even doing an online game - but I don't know how they work as never done it before.
Isn't it just a custom database zipped up and uploaded somewhere? For example there was a Man Utd one where the Glazer's put the club into so much debt that the club lost 10 points and went into administration. Half the players left the team save for Rooney and Scholes I think. Then Cantona came out of retirement to help his old club. I think the target of that game was to get Utd back winning the title within 5 years or something.
 
Wow! Bought him on FM06 as he was brilliant. Don't think he was as good in FM07 but granted he looks pretty darned good there. Gonna have to get him to stop Chelsea getting him. :D
 
Not just me then. Phew! :o

I don't get the former but I've not managed to score from a corner. I have Vidic or Pique set to stand on the near post for a flick on with the corner taker delivering the ball to the near post. Neither Vidic nor Pique have scored, they just knock it out for a goal kick EVERY time. Weird. :confused:

Edit - LOL. Vidic just scored his first goal. Headed in a corner. Should have moaned about this earlier. :D
