How Are You Doing On CM?

[Simon]

How do you spot them then?Scouts?

pretty simple, look for them. Ive played so much of CM i know what the extact positions, nationalities and key stats of all the good players are. A lot of the time you just fall over them, like they score against me in a game or they win an award or something.

I dont use any editors or anything like that to find players as that is cheating and theres no fun in that at all...

Well it's got Torres and Maduro so it's either FM 2006 or 2005.

That means nothing to be honest - there are updates available for old games.

no regens come through any club. Sometimes they dont even have clubs and they are available on free transfers...

So where do the players that are promoted into youth squads come from then, they can't have been there from the start, so must be regens.

errr... he meant:

"no, regens come through any club."

Thought you could have worked that out...

do you find that most of the ones with out clubs are often bad?

Quite a lot of the youths available at the start of the game on frees are pretty average.

Methinks once you get a decent team in fm, Chelsea will be the toughest team to beat. It's almsot like theyre playing football manager out in the real world. Getting the best players, and assembling them into a team.

One of their top scouts has admitted to consulting it.

yeh sometimes...
One thing ive noticed is all NZ players come through as free transfers and there are 5 good ones a GK, D/DMRC (Nelsen), two DC's and a FLC

The lack of a comma gave it a completely different meaning, and I guess it's obvious that I didn't work out that he'd missed it out.

Why is that you have players like Michael Ballack listed with a sales price in the 60-70m pounds+ price tag, when in real life he would never go for that amount (not counting that he went to Chelsea on a Bosman, but before that), same with Raul, Xavi, etc.

I mean I once found Inter had a 104m price tag on Adriano? What the...?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

John Spicer is a gun. Anyone? Anyone?

 

[Matteh]

He's always been average in my games. What version though?

on a brief game with Inter i sold him to Real Madrid for over 100m pounds...

 

[ash chaulk]

clubs have 100million pounds?

 

[Simon]

ive got a game in germany, im managing schalke on it again, at one stage the club had over 4 billion pounds... its down to about 2.5b atm. We make about 450m a year on interest alone, i dont even know how it works lol...

 

[Craig]

New owners?

That is amazing

 

[Simon]

New owners?

That is amazing

most of the german clubs are rich (this is on 01/02 btw) the game is up to 2089/90. Most of the big clubs have stadiums over 200,000 and make a lot of money easily. ive managed Schalke 3 times on this game, first time when i left they had about 3b pounds, when i went back about 20 seasons later the finances always stayed at 0, but i effectively had as much to spend as i wanted, this time the finances is at about 2.46b or something similar.

How am I going?

I'm getting smashed by injuries and in a terrible form streak thanks to it.
