just a note. It's always better to pick the largest amount of leagues possible for realism (the most important at least). Of course just how many your computer can afford without the game taking an eternity to load. That is because, the leagues you pick will be better than the ones you don't pick. Example: In the case of the three top leagues, Spain, England and Italy. If you only pick England, England (both the league and the national team) will end up being better than Spain and Italy. And the same applies for the other 2. You will also notice this after a couple seasons when 90% of European awards for players come from the league your playing in.

Thanks Kraig, that helped a lot. I decided to start with Hibs as I like a few of their players and were adament of keeping my top stars. Rejected 750k bid for Riorden even though I only had 55k to spend. Brought in some class cheap players so hopefully I can do well.

[Herr Matzat]

his matzatness bringing you quiet the championsleague semi final 2008/2009

you might put podolski on your list of cheap good players i think, he is very famous in germany but he just (real time) promoted to germanys first league with Kolone (Köllen) so he might be pritty cheap, his worth for liverpool at this state of the game is somewhat over 43 million euro.

Oh I figured you had sold Monkhouse, which would have been wierd because my current game is with Rotherham.

I just won a sensational victory over Grays ( Conference South ) in FA Trophy. I'm Gainsborough ( Conference North ), which is probably the weakest team in FM.

At half-time, I was 2-0 down. I made two substitutions, replacing my 17-year oldstriker with my previous season's highest goal scorer, Grant. And replacing my captain, and last years Fans Player of the Year, Jervis, with an AMC.

My formation was 4 - 3 - 1 - 2

Grant gets sent off in the 56th minute and I'm left with Lee Ellington as my sole striker whose finishing is 6 but his long shots are 15.

My prefered AMC, Craig, has been out of form.

And two of my midfielders are two 18 year old kids.

My defender right is making his debut.

Ellington scores in the 60th minute, 61st and the 71st minute. And I go on to win 4-2.

There you go. I just wanted to share it with someone.

In other news, Lyon defeated Bayren Munich in the Champions League Final, 1-0.

Pascal Cygan scored the winning header.

Some strange scores in the League Cup.

Sheffield Wednesday 4 - 0 Arsenal

Manchester United 1 - 5 Crystal Palace

Chelsea 2 - 5 Bolton ( now in Championship )

well yeah i got a Sevilla game goin on, but i'm not having any luck with tactics and getting results so i'm starting a new game in the French League (i'm trying something new) I'm probably gonna start with either Marseille, Auxerre, or Lyon... I got the english and spanish leagues running in the background as well, just in case I wanna move abroad.

Does anyone know what happens if you click "extra detail" at the New Game Screen? I've played with it clicked on and clicked off, and I really haven't noticed a difference, can someone explain this to me?

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

I have no idea, But it's better for slow computers to not have Extra Detail.

[lanky316]

Basically it stores more data and runs more matches, for example if you have the Japanese league in extra detail it will rubn the Japanese matches in full, means more waiting around between turns that you may not necesarily want...

[public enemy]

Having 'extra detail' selected becomes more noticable as the game progresses, especially if you don't bother to delete the .pkm files from time to time.

:blink:

What are these .pkm files you speak of?

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

Matches I believe, they build up after a while and slow down the game.
