Thanx 4 The Fish · 24-07-2003 2:17pm

Well it is certainly quite big anyway

Haven't had enough time playing it yet to get a good run up...

irishgeo · 24-07-2003 4:35pm

Havent managed to play it with EP5 yet, but dont play CM much in the summer.

I am sure when the winter nights come it will get back my full attention!

Glad to see the media has been improved.

i have started to give away awful goals! I had a free kick on the edge of my own box towards the left hand side. Barry took it and it went straight to the striker at a right angle accross the box and he scored! This has since happened three times. And to add to my fustration i conceded a goal from their goal kick cause my goalie went for a little run up the field!

Whats goin on do i have a malicous computer or what?

From what I can tell EP5 is the business.

I only using it on a EP4 save game but the effect is good it seems a bit quicker, the transfer market makes sense and is fun to play again, media is better but not that much better (I'm putting that down to it being a save game) overall thumbs up all round.

I've just paused (for work) from a marathon two player hot seat game (Real Madrid and Barcelona) I think the two of us put in something like 15 hours yesterday.

We both agree CM is back. Yes it's back.

PS Lafortezza was Real Madrid and he finished the season trophyless. Trophyless!!! I won the domestic double. Woohoo.

I lost the champs league final to Juventus because I didn't have 3 first choice defenders, and Helguera got sent off, and Zidane decided to **** about and not play.

Didn't see you in the champs league....

You only won the league cos you won more matches....and cos I didn't win enough, and my lads were tired and ...yeah...

but this season I'm going to win everything,
Starting 11
Casillas
R Carlos, Ayala, Montero, Mancini

Figo, Zidane, helguera, solari

raul ronaldo

much better than your 1st 11, and I've got better backups too

DapperGent · 30-07-2003 6:40pm

I prefer my squad rotation lads to be honest and your first teamers are too old.

Plus there isn't too much wrong with:

Bonano

Puyol Iuliani Terry Athirson

Rufete Deco Xavi Cole

Saviola Mido

As a first choice eleven.

Subs: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kapo, Enke, Yobo, Glen Johnson, Luis Enrique, Cocu, Motta, Defoe.

What do you reckon lads who has the edge.

P.S. Got to ECL semis beaten by Juventus as well.

All my 1st teamers are between 26 and 31, at their peak to be honest, Montero is 32, plenty of young lads rotating in, so no probs with age at all

You haven't got Rufete yet, you don't have a big strong DMC, Xavi, Deco and Joe Cole are all weak and not very aggressive,
you're keepers aren't the greatest consistancy wise either,

I suppose we'll see when the new season starts

I suppose we will. But even if you kick my ass it still won't change the fact that you smell of poo.

Makaveli · 31-07-2003 1:21am

I find Enke is better than Bonano. He's keeping him out of my team anyway.
God awful on crosses though. I need to get myself a rock solid centre half. Eventually I will land Nesta, no matter what.

I'm not too sure of either of them so I signed up Esteban who was amazing for me in the past.

But you never know with keepers they're all cheeky feckers.

How do you normally do it?

DerekD Goldfish · 31-07-2003 7:22pm

Scouser · 01-08-2003 1:40pm

I don't think there'll be another update before CM k03/04 or the next official release.

There's some unofficial transfer updates around the web, maybe try theDugout.net

Scouser · 02-08-2003 12:13pm

I actually tried the dug out after i posted this thread and there was a transfer update which i promtly downloaded.

Good man Thanks anyway for your help.

MrNuked · 17-08-2003 5:26pm

After installing the patch(5 with no data) my team started playing very badly. Didn't notice any positive effect on the gameplay and the severe drop in form annoyed me. Going to reinstall the game without the patch i think.

DerekD Goldfish · 18-08-2003 9:35pm

Do you play gung ho as one of the things the patch does is to readdress the balance as it was felt gung ho was too succesful.

Sundy · 20-08-2003 4:17pm

i play Gung Ho on Ep5 the whole time, and it seems the best way to get goals and keep teams pinned back, for example this team beat Barcelona 5-2 on agg. in the semis and AC Milan 3-1 in the European Cup final!

Enkleman

Mexes

Alpay

Barry

Samuel

Bridge

Stephan Cooke

Robert

Joe Cole

JP Angle

Ronaldinho

DerekD Goldfish · 21-08-2003 7:41pm

I said it was less succesful but that doesnt mean its totaly unsucessful it depends on the team and sometimes as in real life you can have good tactics but youre team can still play sh*t

UbahOne · 22-08-2003 12:16pm

Gung Ho is a dangerous one to play one...

I feel normal is the best and if you get a few goal, move up to gung ho.

Sundy · 22-08-2003 1:37pm

yeah you do get caught on the break quite often but usually i come out of a game wit 2-3 goals anyway.

MrNuked · 22-08-2003 8:13pm

counter-attacking style works quite well on EP5. Got Millwall promoted in the first season, then got to 7th in the Premiership in the second using a counter-attacking style. Just started 3rd season. Just signed Joe Cole and Kim Kallstrom as well as Ian Harte, and already got Jermaine Defoe last season, so my squad's starting to look very respectable. Finished upgrading my training facilities too. Only concern is that I won;t be able to use the squad rotation system to cushion the effects of bad morale this season because I had to sell lots of players to be able to afford wages for Cole, Kallstrom etc. Won against Arsemal, Newcastle and Man Utd using the counter attack, before signing any big names. My counter-attack style: defensive/men-behind ball with normal style wingers and attacking strikers. Basically get everyone to defend except two pacy forwards to pick up loose balls.

EP 5 is here!!!!
