You can create cups, leagues, premiership with 5 points for a win, 30 teams, with whatever prize money you want etc. It really is a great thing.

[Adam]

That seems like such a great feature, will you also be able to rename current competitions, for instance actually giving them the proper names like UEFA Champions League and Carling Cup?

Erm... You can do that already.

[cmb211087]

Yeah and the great thing is, none of your edits actually touch the default database, they are all stored in an xml file, so if you screw up, you can just go into the xml file and delete or edit the messed up lines. Word of warning though, don't create a 24 team premier league with a split (ie like scotland), as it creates around 64 or so games! Having a winter break in there does not help the fixture congestion!

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

If I create a league full of teams from different nations, would the highest finishing teams be able to qualify for continental competitions etc based on the coefficients?

[cmb211087]

Yeah, say you create a super league, whatever nation you set it in, depending on how many places they would normally get, that is what you would get in the game, so 7 in England etc unless you change the nation co efficients.

This league modifier is just begging for a grief championship.

-3 points for a win

0 points for a draw

3 points for a loss

And see how things are going after 20 matches in, where despite winning loads of games Arsene Wenger and SAF are fighting for their jobs in the relegation zones ¬_¬

A universe where Derby are European Champions ¬_¬

[METALMAN]

Didn't they do something like that on pirated versions of the games a couple of years back? That was funny.

Would be good if you could edit points for loss and draw, but at the moment it is only for wins. Would be really funny to see it though, will suggest it to them.

When's the demo out?

[Scott McFly]

It's normally about 2 weeks before release, so it'll be around mid-October.

Yeah, saw that. It's pretty basic when you think about it, but also pretty cool.

The new FM2010 Podcast was recently uploaded, they said Chelseas transfer ban will be in the game

[Scott McFly]

Going back to the pre-order thing, there's a few different offers on from different retailers:

Play.com - personalised cover sleeve.

GAME - football journal to record match results, attendances, notes etc.

HMV - free thermos mug

Steam - free copy of Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast

I'm gonna wait and play the demo first to see if there's enough new stuff to be worth dropping £30 on, but if I were to pre-order I'd be leaning towards the mug myself.

EDIT: Nice to hear they're including the transfer ban. Wonder if you'll get little officials behind the goals in the Europa League matches too.

[King Ellis]

I was wondering if they'd have that in PES since they have the Europa liscence now.

[cmb211087]

The transfer embargo can be taken out if you want, it is just part of an edt file. As for the extra officials, they are not there at the moment, and code lock is very soon so doubt they will be in at launch.

Demo is out now!

Shit, there goes my plan to get sleep tonight.

EDIT: Downloading the Vanilla demo now, can't get Strawberry to download via Steam. Anyone have any luck there?
