i am so frustrated, i have bene playing for so long with the series and i am yet to take out all 4 major trophies.....there being the EPL, the FA Cup, The League Cup and the Champions League, today i got my closest in the year 2012 with liverpool........whom i started with...we took out all the english trophies and lost on goal difference against valencia in the champions league semi final, so frustrating what makes it worse, i was 2 -1 down after the first leg in spain, 2nd leg in england i was 3 - 0 up after 14 min to see them claw 1 goal back just after half time, then in injury tim they got one whch was clearly off side bt it was allowed to get a goal, final score 3 -2 however as goals are level at 4 each but they scored the crucial away goal i only got 1 they yhad 2 they went through......very frustrating and i ill honestly play this until i do all 4 then i will be happy, and probably just keep playing lol, as i am addicted...........

How long does it take to get a British passport? I noticed in my previous game that after I'd been around for quite a few seasons that I had English nationality also. Didn't notice it for a while so don't know when it happened.
its about 4 or 5 isnt it ?

fm 2006

just downloaded and played some of fm 2006 and its pretty good, some good changes to the game play and the tactics with interactions with players and you can make tactical changes whilst the game is still playing..

I just played a game with liverpool won 4 - 0.. I used my fm 05 tactis which worked well. sikoko played well in defensive midfield and gerrard as usually played well. I like the pep talk at the end and half time.....one thing I do know is that guys we need the gerseys all fixed up to wrinkles etc like fm05 as I dont know how long I can look at the basic pics for.......................but well done I am sure I will be purchasing when it comes out wooohoooo can not wait..........fm05 will keep me going with my dominate liverpool side in 2012/2013.........oh danny boy

Lost 1-0 to Darlington, a second minute penalty which resulted in my centre back being sent of so i wasn't to downheatrtened by that. Beat a couple of NL teams and then finished off with a 0-0 draw at Hayes in front of 43.

First league match away at Yoevil, lost 1-0, apart from the goal, which looked offside they didn't threaten much, but neither did we. tactics to fine tune, haven't dipped in to training yet. Currently playing a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, several players injured and when they are back ill have a better idea of my capabilities.

Got it last week as a birthday present - Only had time for a couple of sessions so far - first one I went through pre-season, second one I got 8 games in the Championship - going well so far, 1 defeat to unbeaten Norwich (88th minute) and unbeaten since then.

Like the way there's some good presets for positions.

Been playing as Sydney FC in one game and Newcastle Utd another. Won the first season with Sydney and made it to the semis of the Asian Champion's League. Not doing so well with the Magpies :p

I like the fact you can train players for a new position, don't think they had that in FM 2005

You could in FM 2005 and CM4(i think...) burkey.
That's why I said 'don't think' :p, because I didn't play those very much so I didn't know all the features, but I'm really getting into 2006.

Should be getting my copy very soon (might be this weekend or next). But first things first I will need to fix my CD Rom drive so the blasted thing will open when I push the button. Currently it is jammed for some reason...

I still have no idea what team to be - I have had plenty of ideas and my latest one is to do the Norwegian or the Swedish league, or possibily in Portugal or even with a Brazilian team. But I will probably be Inter when I get the game.

Whatever team you take over in Norway, don't do Vålerenga. They've got insane amounts of cash (by Norwegian standards) and the best squad in the league.

Better then Rosenborg?

How are Bodo/Glimt like in Norway? Title contenders are on of those clubs that always push the leaders and end up in the 6 or 7?

If the researcher did his job, they should be better than Rosenborg, yes.

Bodø/Glimt are currently title contenders...in Division 1. :@ (On the game, they should be relegation candidates in the Premier League, however)

Not sure if you're aware or not, but there should be a tiny hole near the drive - Un-roll a paper clip and stick it in the hole.

I'd recommend starting with a team you know - just to get used to the game.
