Most players have real names on PES 3.... on PC anyway

It's worse with teams though Liverpool is Merseyside Red, etc.

Man, I'm afraid our favorite manager game will get screwed up Both versions.... I don't want a new game, I don't want a 3d match engine, I don't want some new ****ty interface overloaded with crappy looking bevels and futuristic fonts.... I don't want any of that ****

I just want the good old CM with updated squads, no bugs, and some new features that make the game more enjoyable.....

KADER I LOVE YOUR AV!!!! class.

i agree with kaders last point, just make cm0304 slightly better, and im happy.

TROD.

 

[Zlatan]

...mayb they should add also suspensions for dope ...

 

[rpvankasteren]

SI are mainly working on game speed. They claim they have made a big improvement. That would be good, very.

They'll never include drugs or death in their game. That's what they claim anyway.

 

[Tom]

yeah you cant do it, far far too risque. Same with drink driving etc, they can be sued.

TROD.

 

[ManUGrobar]

yeah but there is that german game way back in years i cant remember the name of it but you could have put your players on steroids which i taught was really nice, and then there were side effects of it, some players lost morale, others were messed up with different stuff.

 

[SRB]

yea but that would be illegal, it would be degrading to the people. but if theyre not going to use real names and such could it then be possible to do the drug things and stuff?

 

[rpvankasteren]

They could do it with the names they use now, but they don't want to. And I tend to agree. The fun found in it is just so shallow, it doesn't remotely count up to the potential damage it might do by teaching kids they could use drugs, to improve certain abilities. A fact is that they also destroy your brain and sexual functions, and another fact is that people don't learn what's bad for them as fast as they learn what could potentially benefit them.

you sound just like my court appointed counselor

anyway, i do agree, and i doubt there will be any of that in the games.

 

[Zlatan]

Or mayb they could make an option were you can select to give your players dope so that your players will play better but you risk a long suspension

No, because SI's game is already close to being finished. They'll only need to get the data straight, by that time, that's all.

Another thing. Apparently Eidos also have the right to the current look of CM, so the interface will also have to change.

It sounds more and more likely, that SI's game will be the game that will actualy be the next "CM".

 

[Tom]

www.championshipmanager.co.uk is now under Eidos control!

TROD.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Those bastards, the competition is only for UK residents... My vote goes to SI.

 

[Áļéאָ]

yeah, Si will release the next CM. Just with a different name

 

[rpvankasteren]

I wouldn't rule out the Eidos game performance wise. They may not own the code, but they do have it. They cán base their engine on its engine...

 

[Áļéאָ]

maybe, but I feel it will be just another management game.. But never say never

 

[Ebonix]

Theres a hell of a Forum on that website

I'm always gonna go for Si, they develop the game, their gonna know what too put in and what too take out.
It makes you wonder how much input Eidos had really

 

[rpvankasteren]

None, development wise. All they did was fund and rush it's release.

 

[Áļéאָ]

Their "input" was bugs... I suppose

Well when you rush developers thats what you get. No quality checks
