if u can (gd academy nd staff), do it for youth.
reserves and 1st team never gain much skills from training, most of the time its from matches + training only makes dem tired.
worth with youngers doe, u cant lose nuffin init bcos who gives a shit if dere tired + dere ability 2 gain skills from training is MUCH bigger.

if u have a team like manutd, they will benefit from attacking with width where as smaller teams would choose narrow pitches so they clutter up the midfield.

wtf was that about altering my pitch size lol
if ure a team like hull where all your players are knackered a narrow pitch will benefit as they will have less running around to do
if u are a young fit team like arsenal then width will benefit your wingers & give your technical players more time in the ball

1mb :(
im now talkin wiv my mate who knows how 2 do it, he says the guys hosting connection shud be about 7,5mb atleast to not make the game annoyin. (if we wanna take over whole/nearly whole premiership)
also, the host has to have dynamic ip, otherwise it wont work.
also, all of the players have to use exactly the same version, use the same patch, use the same language in game (as for me its german bt its minor i cud change it obv)
if deres some ppl interested, specially the host, hold tight ima find out a proper tutorial

28th February '08, 11:07 PM
first and foremost, all of the players hav 2 meet dem conditions i wrote in one of my previous posts.
if all of dats cool, then the host (preferably the guy with best connection) starts his job.
1. in ''preferences'', choose ''network". type in the server name + a password and ull also hav to tick the ''run as server'' button.
2. then go forward to choose the league to play (preferably one division eg premiership only), make the database small or medium.
3. then when the game is loaded, go to "options" > "game status". ull hav to get the ''server ip address'' to pass it to other players.
dats all job for the host.
other players now hav to get the server ip address from the host, open fm, choose ''network'' in main menu, then ''join other server'' on the right bottom, enter the servers ip address (nd a password if dere is 1) and enjoy the game lol.
edit: if were seriously interested in it, we shud set up a list of whos on it, choose the times to play and obey dem otherwise the game will be shit if other players play without u and u miss half of the season without even knowin lol.

29th February '08, 07:21 AM
Im addicted to this.
Brought in a young Per Mertesacker at centre back for £18.5m who is better than Carragher and only slightly worse than Agger (but hes young) to replace Hyypia.
Brought in a winger who can play on both flanks called Baretta for £11.5m who is an improvement on Benayoun, Kewell and Pennant so a nice addition to the squad.
Sold Andrei Voronin for £5.5m after getting him on a free transfer to Manchester City.
Bought 2-3 of the youth players mentioned here as well so hopefully they grow into something special.
Qualified for the Champs League, beat Pompey at home 2-0 but unfortunately lost to Chelsea 3-0 away- now waiting impatiently to get home from work!
Any other hints and tips anyones got?
Ill join the league as well, if I can be Liverpool. :D

Kossa you may need to use a program like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 110% or 52% to 'Mount' the .ISO file (the CD basically). Its a program that makes the computer think you have the CD in the machine so you can install it.

Hmm, my patch just worked straight up with the crack I got with it. I think you might have a cracked version of the game before the patch was brought out so maybe you need to download a newer cracked game.
I'll upload the crack I used now so you can try it, not sure it will work though. Give me a few minutes (10 mins left on upload).

first season wid man city on the old patch i wont he prem and fa cup
first season wid man utd on the new patch i won the treble in my first season without buying no first team players and charity shield, super cup, world cup championship so far in my 2nd season..
id advise you to send your scouts to diff parts of the world looking for players no older then 17, ive found bare sick ones so far
my team in 5years>>>>>>
you should keep trying to get more feeder clubs aswell to send your young players out to..
send all your reserves out on loan and a cuple first team...keep your under 18s dere unless there reli sick...
training i got sum fing i downloaded last year...
tacts its a 4-4-2 most tym
already starting to edge out the older players and bring through the new blood
the fing is with a big squad you gota keep every1 happy which is hard so its good to have a few squad players lyk fletcher, oshea, etc

Im playing the original version of the game that I downloaded and Im fucking crap.
Don't understand it, when I go to Old Trafford and play 4-5-1 with Mascherano, Sissoko and Gerrard in the centre, the game should be a lot tighter, but Im losing 4-0.
Then when I go with 4-3-3 against Derby at home I cant even make a chance?
Gonna download 8.02 now, is that easier to play?

Hij, you ever edit your tactics? You have to edit the actually tactics as well not just the formation. i downloaded some tactic and its fucking amazing.

to use it, go into tactics page thing, go to edit tactics, import, and add it.
Hij
2nd March '08, 07:17 PM
Yeah I do that occasionally but I never see any benefit.
Only good thing thats ever worked was setting Crouch to target man, and getting the players behind him to play it into his head, with Torres/Babel running in alongside him.
Whats that tactic? Safe Ill download it now.
Once its put in, do you change the teams stuff each match or just leave it the same? As Liverpool, the only teams I should be looking to realistically change my tactics for (because they are better than us) are Chelsea, United, Arsenal and possibly Everton in the Derby.

How about to be fair, no top 4 clubs, just thinking about it if theres more then 5 people then people are going to getting clubs that are in no way good enough to compete, do no top 4 clubs becasue all the clubs outta top 4 are even-ish, *coughs im man city* play one season game with player who comes highest in league wins.

judgin from whos active in dis thread, the league wud be bout 5-10(?) players nd its possible to choose fairly equal 5-10 teams from premiership (not countin the top 4-5 obv)

Why dont we all pick relegation teams and see who can do the best with them.
Bolton, Wigan, Fulham, Sunderland, Middlesborough etc.

same ting lol, i meant lets get equal teams, u cant find enuff shower teams to suit our leagues players amount, u mite not be able to find enuff shit teams for our league, so i assume its the best way to get all dem averages innit lol

3rd March '08, 02:55 PM
Sounds abit boring to me Hij, Id rather do it so you can pick any team except Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelski & Tottenham. with the one season it should be good.
What patch would we use? Some of you seem to be having problems? so we need to decide that
I think we need to decide on a time then we can take it to the next stage
Someone said Monday and im in favour for that because theres radio on monday, more people seem to be at home then & online, say so a good solid 3 hours evening time. People post when you can play and we can get round to actually playing.

Not really, we only need 3-5 players and we'd all be battling relegation together. Which means games against each other will be 6 pointers and the master tactician will get himself into the top half of the table.
Its either
Relegation Teams
Bolton, Reading, Sunderland, Wigan, Middlesborough, Derby
Average Clubs
Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle (you'll get a bit of money?), Manchester City
Hij
3rd March '08, 03:05 PM
And I suggested Monday.
Theres never any good football on really, apart from one Setanta match... Logans Radio Show is on and if you play in Windowed mode rather than Full Screen, you can post here while other people are playing their matches or looking for players etc etc etc

Eric Cantona
3rd March '08, 03:10 PM
Bolton, Reading, Wigan, Middlesborough & Fulham?
These 5 teams are all equally matched, Having Derby, Sunderland & Birmingham maybe unfair on who has them becasue to be fair there not that good, even more so for whoever gets Derby, you have 7 good relegation teams there, and i was thinking maybe do some kinda of lucky dip to who gets a selected clubs as well.

edit: seen webstarr
--------------------
and secondly, at every1 dat has it fucked up bcos of uncracked patch 8.02. i think deres a way to solve it without proper patchin it.
ur fm.exe file is cracked nd its still 8.00, bt if u go to :
sports interactive > football manager 2008 > data > db
u got a folder called "800" dats most probably the game details nd shit wen its on 8.00, therefore, if sum1 with working 8.02 patch cud go to dat db folder, copy the "802" folder (if dere is such) nd upload it for us???
dats jus my suspicion doe, worth a try anyway lol
