SG's Ultimate Draft Challenge 2012--This Year there WILL be FM

[ShiftyPowers]

Alright, so I looked at all the injuries and the VAST majority (like 90% or more) are guys who were not injured when we drafted. So I'm just going to remove all injuries. I think it is fair that way. It wouldn't be fair for me to make some of the players healthy and keep others injured.

 

[yoyo913]

Ok that's cool. We also agreed to do this pages upon pages ago so it's the most fair thing.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

But anyway, what that means is that I've pretty much done everything and fired up the game with our Luxembourg league seemingly functional. I can also have 20 different managers, so my idea to equalize all the assistants and just go on vacation (keeping squads and tactics the same) for all the games seems to have paid off.

This took a good... 12 hours of data entry and work, so be appreciative.

 

[yoyo913]

Great job dude!

Wait, are you saying the teams will have the same tactics? E.g I can't have my 4-3-3?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Just making sure everything works. I'm simming as an unemployed manager. Here's who everyone hired in the order of hires (for the record, the first offer was actually from Xifio to my unemployed guy):

Yoyo: Rafa Benitez
cdiccico: Harry Redknapp
Dytza: Manuel Pellegrini
Keegan: David Moyes
Arnau: Javier Aguirre
Mandieta6: Luis Aragones
Jaboldinho: Fatih Terim*
Coruja: Co Adriaanse
Massive: Senol Gunes
Sir_Didier_Drogba: Martin Jol
Juventino: Huub Stevens
kp40: Leo Beenhakker
Nady: Laurent Blanc
Mus: Ernesto Valverde
Andrei: Ronald Koeman
Zlatan: Marcelo Bielsa
Xifio: Luciano Spalletti
STML1: Frank de Boer
Shifty: Carlo Ancelotti
fender: Guus Hiddink

No no no. I'll create basic tactics for everyone based on what they used in the voting phase. If anyone would like something else, let me know. Ideally I'll post one matchday each day for 38 days.

E: I might have to tone down the pressure on the managers, heh.

E2: Actually I might have to create chairmen to do that. **** it then.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

This was just to see that everything works, so it's meaningless, but here's the table anyway

And the cup

EDIT: haha, whoops, I closed the game without saving before looking at any of the stats.

 

[yoyo913]

Benitez

2nd last in the league and won the cup??!!?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

It's a very even league. I'd blame Benitez more than anything. And it wouldn't surprise me if Ronaldo was injured either.

There were a LOT of sackings. Benitez I think was out by January. 'Arry was the first one canned.

 

[yoyo913]

Who replaced Benitez, do you remember?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I really don't. For some reason I'm thinking it may have been someone else who got fired.

Anyway, if you have FM13

Take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions.

 

[Juventino]

Excellent, thanks Shifty. I'll give it a look.

 

[Juventino]

A few minor things I spotted: you forgot to edit out Lucas Moura's future January transfer to PSG (on Mandieta6's team). Luisao also seems to serve a long term suspension on kp40's team.

I'll give it a better look later today, but it looks great so far! You're spot on with my favorite clubs and scouting knowledge. Good stuff.

 

[yoyo913]

You should make every manager the same nationality/languages spoken IMO.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Scouting knowledge is the same for everyone, but there might be a lot of 0s that randomize it. And I know everyone's nationality, so there's that. Thanks for the future transfers, I was upset that Moura got transferred and I was wondering what I did wrong, but now it all makes sense.

The only other two transfers in my simmed season were Horatiu releasing Alex Teixeira on a free transfer and Sir_Didier_Drogba buying Diego Capel from kp40 for 425k.

 

[Mus]

Hahah cool, 4th in the league, cup runner up and beat the league champion 3-0 in the cup

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You should make every manager the same nationality/languages spoken IMO.

Yeah I'll do that. Like I said, I'm going to take control of each club and the manager will be exactly the same. And then just vacation the games. I should maybe spend more time equalizing the Assistants though, just to take out any random attributes if they exist. (except for Xifio's horrible judging player ability and potential attributes)

 

[Juventino]

I think I have the Czech Republic in my scouting knowledge because Dukla Prague is in my favorites, so it's not randomly picked.

If it's possible give every manager/chairman/assistant manager 10s in their attributes to make them the same for all, then clone them so every team has the same guy.


I bet Teixeira was released for complaining about not getting enough playing time.


edit: Ok I see you'll be doing that exact thing.

Oh yeah, I did give you Dukla haha, forgot about that. I was in a bit of a hurry, if I had another 5 hours to spend I would have given you Alan Patrick.
