    Low Ambition.

    My loyalty is 2 and I have stuck to Sc.unthorpe throughout, despite getting offers from Birmingham, Man City, Newcastle and even England. You don't get much more loyal than that I feel. I'm on £600 a week still as well, a premiership manager!

    Sounds

    I find it quite amusing when playing a really rubbish game with only 78 supporters bothering to turn up, and they make the same amount of noise as a world cup final crowd. Maybe it's the same 78 people who turn up to the world cup final.

    New FM user here with some questions

    To check your reputation, view your manager profile and you will have a rating, from "obscure" at the start, all the way up to "world class". If you're extremely successful with the club you can achieve "world class" within 3 seasons or so (I did that with Sc.unthorpe and they're a league one...

    Staff attributes

    I usually do too to be honest, especially when he keeps telling me to do stupid things. I was just wondering if I had made a mistake and that I was buying staff with what look like excellent attributes, but are actually obscure for a very good reason :P Ooh ooh, I signed Nigel Martyn as...

    Staff attributes

    Ok, I've got an absolutely massive wage budget which I will never fill up, so I decided to go mad and buy lots of great coaches and the like to get the most out of my players. I've been signing lots of "unknown" and "obscure" coaches because they often have excellent stats and only demand £250 a...

    tackles per game.

    Aha! I shall definately check that out. Brutal tackles all the way, make the attackers wish their team mates would stop giving them the ball ;) I personally haven't touched tactics at all, except to give each player the default behaviour for each position (set fullback to "fullback" etc), now...

    tackles per game.

    I'm often puzzled why players with 20 tackling get a pathetic 1.30 tackles per match, while a guy with 8 tackling will get 5 or 6 on average. I've now started buying players according to their tackles per match rather than tackling skill since it seems to mean very little.

    Ridiculous inconsistency in performance

    Damn, I wish there was a "tell players not to underestimate their opponents" pre-match button. This game has some funny little quirks in it. One of my strikers, Steven Maclean, who I signed from Sheffield Wednesday while I was still in League One just won the European Golden Boot with 26...

    Ridiculous inconsistency in performance

    Ok, explain this: I'm playing as Sc.unthorpe and have reached the Champions League in the 2009/2010 season. My team is pretty red-hot. I beat Benfica in a friendly, then Sparta Prague in my CL qualification group, then Arsenal in the Premiership, all very comfortable scorelines (by 2 goals or...

    Help!!!!!!!

    There are ways around this, please note that I am not advocating evasion of disc-checking, it's just that on some rare occasions it really is legitimate. If you have WinXP, try right clicking on the exe file (NOT the shortcut), and run it in Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode. Sometimes this...

    Top this ...

    Yeah I once had to play 3 reserve-team players and an U18 because I had 9 injuries including every one of my first-team strikers, both goalkeepers and most of my defence. Funny thing is I still went on a 3-match winning streak until 3 of the players had recovered, then I lost :(

    Second Seasonitis

    The funny thing is that for me, the CPU is the one that makes ridiculous mistakes. One of my goals against ManU was the defender played a backpass, and the keeper actually passed the ball to my striker who casually first-timed it in. I have also seen a goalkeeper miss a backpass and let it in...

    Need some tactical advice

    I tried Vanden Borre right at the start of the Summer transfer window and they refused to sell, his minimum release clause is well above my transfer budget as well :( I will have a look at Zaccardo, Garcia and Cicinho though. Thanks :) Oooh just beat a full-strength Man U 2-1. My team...

    Need some tactical advice

    Thanks guys. I agree that Srna would be better on the wing, and my assistant manager agrees with that. I don't trust my assistant manager too much though, he keeps telling me to put my DR McNamee on left back, where he is "unconvincing". Silly man. I will probably try and get a new left back in...

    Need some tactical advice

    Hi all, I've been playing FM2006 almost solidly for two weeks now, and I have somehow managed to take S****horpe United (English League One) into the Premiership in just 3 seasons due to some flukey signings. What I need help on is deciding who plays where. I recently bought two fullbacks...

    cheap shots system?

    Surely LOSING games should give you cheap shots? Otherwise the better player will just accumulate cheap shots making it even harder for the lesser player to beat them.

    PC demo insanely fast

    This cannot possibly be a design feature. The whole game runs like it's in fast-forward, making it impossible to play. I cannot tackle opposing players because they are zooming all over the place, I cannot control my shots because tapping D fills the bar to max and sends the ball out of the...

    Your most unmanageable team (?)

    There is no lead the mighty Scun-thorpe (damn profanity filter) cannot throw away, I was 3-0 up against Rushden with them down to 10 men and 80 minutes played, and within 12 minutes (including extra time), they had slotted in 2 penalties, a 25-yard free kick and a corner. I made some damn...

    Man Utd Squad Advice

    I'm still having real trouble with Rooney, he is just crap to be honest. Rio Ferdinand has scored more goals this season than Rooney (7 compared to 5). He is invisible most of the game, he never seems to get the ball and when on the rare occasion that he does, he misses every shot. His form is...
