Official Football Manager 2005 Topic

When your Assistant Manager says something so ludicrous, you have no option but to sack him immediately.

Hell, it's what I did.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I have two assistants, Sam Allardyce being one of them, bwahahha, the idiot. Henry is the top scorer, wins world player of the year, gets the most assists and has the best average rating, he also left Vieira out of my starting 11.

It is save game compatible but it is recomended to start a new game. Certain things will not be fixed on your saved game, as in players' yo-yo happiness and hating you for no reason.

That's why Pat Rice is never gonna be a manager.

[Krazy_K]

Help.

I got this game but really don't know what to do >_<

I see a have a game but I don't know how to start it.

What do i click?

And I will have a lot more questions so get ready.

[FLiam]

Start the game, then press 'New Game'.

Quite tricky really.

[King Ellis]

Might sound obvious but there's always that little booklet that came with the game, you know, the manual. That is assuming you bought it.

[Summers]

And if you didn't buy it, you suck.

[Krazy_K]

Define brought?

And I figured it out.

[Summers]

Definition of brought: paid for. non-downloaded.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I just use this NO-CD patch for speed, I swear

Either me or my brother buy it each year, I don't see the harm in us sharing it.

[Summers]

That I think's fine. Because it's been bought by the family. So, it's all good.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

We don't share a house either, but he just lives in the next street

Anyone stupid enough to not put a keeper on the subs bench? I forgot about the out of position thing, so even putting a player with a decent goalkeeper rating in his place is fucking goal mouth suicide.

[King Ellis]

I never put a keeper on the bench, I never seem to require one. Even in Scotland where I have 7 subs to choose from I don't want to waste 1 on a keeper.

[Guest Red Devil]

I always put a keeper on the bench now. That was after Lustavka got sent of in 15 minutes leaving Cisse in net and we lost 4 - 0.

Anyway i finished 2nd in the leasgue behind Man United. Got knocked out of both domestic cups early and reached the knockout stages of the Champions League where the eventual winner Inter kncoked me out 3 - 1 on agg. I got 11.25 mill for finishing 2nd in prem and 11 mill for champions league revenue so i was quite happy as i now had 44million in my account and i was so sure they were going to give me at least half of that so i made a few offers and agreed deals with a few players. My transfers would cost 21mill so come end of season, the board give me 13.5 million. That pissed me off, after making them over 30 million in transfer sales and prize money i get that?

Now i have to cancel one or 2 of the buys as i haven't got enough money to spend and the transfers are going through in a few days. I've tried asking for more money without success. Is there any chance that they will give me some extra revenue in teh following qwwk or is there any way i can get that extra money without cheating?

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

My first substitute is always a Goalie, Bar none.

Cause if my starter is doing shit after one half I can just plug in the sub.

[King Ellis]

You could always ask the board for some more. I did so after getting knocked out of the Champions League and to my suprise they complied. Only 6m but hey it's something, usually Rangers managers don't have any money to play with.

I guessed you didn't share a house. Wouldn't of minded if you didn't live int he same city. The game was originally paid for, and isn't being whored all over the net, so it's fine.

And, I had a horrible keeper problem. I tend to bring on my sub keeper, if my #1 is doing shite, at half time. I did that, then the sub got injured. And the out of position problem caused me to lose.

[stokeriño]

I used to not put a keeper on the bench.

70 minutes of a cup tie with Wayne Bridge in goal taught me the true path.

[Krazy_K]

Awesome game.

I started a game with Chelsea and I just signed Henrik Larrson.

I'm 5th on the table after a couple of bad losses.

And I've had a really bad run of injuries. I feel like a real manager =p
