Fake Inc..

...and to the poster above about the crack causing bugs, its bullshit, especially if your using the hatred no cd (havn't tried the fairlight one as I have no reason too), like I said, I'm in 2009 and havn't experienced any of the crap si are spouting, and before anyone has a go at me for using the no cd, securom doesn't work with my pc so it's the only way i can play (legit game). If Si spent more of their time implementing a protection that is compatible with all, and not trying to put in triggers which make bugs (even in legit games, not just no cd), then I wouldn't be so pissed off with them right now

Odd cause I deleted that file and I still have the germans masked and Jens Mustermann for Oliver Kahn.

Aston Villa 1-1 Wigan

Newcastle 2-0 Aston Villa

Fulham 1-0 Aston Villa

Edit: Aston Villa 0-0 Arsenal

:ohwell:

When I can only get one goal in four games from the likes of Moore, Carew, Agbonlahor and Ashton (yes, Ashton), something is seriously wrong.

You need Vagner Love. He was badass for Villa when I played a short game as them.

I've started as Forest, I wanna get em to a decide standard in the Championship then move on. Anybody got any bargain tips for the lower leagues? I bought in Jason Jarrett, Kyel Reid on-loan, Chris Lucketti and Kyle Lafferty on-loan from Burnley who can't stop scoring at the moment!

Your tactics are all to cock?

[stokeriño]

Possibly, but I have been trying to tweak them in light of my opponents. We played really well in the Newcastle game until Martins headed in a corner after 70 minutes and we gave away a penalty immediately afterwards. It's not to say we aren't getting shots on goal...in fact, the fans (in the Confidence section) repeat the same complaint for every match: disappointment at being able to convert chances into goals. Of course, when Luke Moore is able to stand on the edge of the six yard box and hit the far-side corner flag with his shot, I'm not sure what's to be done. <_>

Don't play him

Nah - I have little experience in FM so can't really comment. Though I will say I was really happy with myself in a game the other night. Eagles scored an OG in a pre-season friendly and played shocking. Because I'm a fair man, and I like the guy, I played him in the next game too - This time I told him I expected a performance from him.

Low and behold, he scored in a 4-1 victory. Lovely.

You're not meant to delete the file, just open it with notepad and edit the 1's to 0's or vice versa IIRC.

To the guy complaining about Villa being crap on the game or what not, on my 2009 game they came 5th then 3rd so......gotta be your tactics

2009? How bloody quickly have you been playing this since it came out? ¬_¬

[Lord Nibbler]

Started a game as United, just had the Community Shield. Very even game, went to a penalty shootout.

12 penalties and SEVEN PENALTY SAVES later, Nemanja Vidic does what Ronaldo, Anderson, Nani, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Kalou and Alex couldn't do to win the shootout for me.

The Forest board are wankers, I'm joint top with Hartlepool but apparently I'm not doing as good as they expect for the season. Just gave Swansea a nice 4-1 hiding at the City Ground, Agogo has started to find the net at last.

[stokeriño]

Well in any case, if anyone would care to suggest some manner of tactical nonsense to make my players score more often, I'd be all ears.

That's the tactic I use with Rovers, have beat Liverpool and Arsenal whilst drawing with Man U

[9 to 5]

Pfft, using super tactics. :thumbsdown:

[stokeriño]

Okay, clearly some match bugs need to be sorted out. I've just seen the Leeds keeper pick up the ball, stand there with it for a few seconds, and then - for no obvious reason at all - turn 90 degrees to to the right and punt it horizontally off the pitch for a throw in. Unless he usually does that sort of thing, of course. >_>

Edit: And yeah, needless to say I'm not particularly happy using any tactic that calls itself 'Enigma'. <_ though i hardly call it a supertactic. giving tryout in my league cup round match at home to leeds and we being forced into extra time...>

Edit 2: Penalties. <_>

Edit 3: We won the shootout 4-2, thank fuck. Not impressed with that tactic, mind you.

[cmb211087]

tactics take time for your team to learn them you know, and it's not a supertactic, like I said I'm in 2009 so basically have a brand new team

[stokeriño]

Bah, in my day they'd take 4-4-2 and they'd like it.
