I downloaded a pack, with faces, Logos etc in it.Now ive gone about installing it, but for some reason the Logo's and Crests are the only thing which seem to be working.Any one have a idea on how to get the face packs working?

Didn't last too long anyway, board accepted a crappy bid from Torino full of monthly clauses and stupid installments amounting to a measly £2.8m, made worse by the fact FC Copenhagen had a £4m bid for him upfront which he turned down 64 goals in 87 games and a profit isn't bad though I suppose!

They give you that much of a transfer and wage budget but a measly £29.5K per week contract? :pac:

So I bought this yesterday and decided to start with Crawley Town. Immediately sacked the entire U18 squad as they were all rubbish and had no potential. Got a new assistant manager, some new coaches, physios and scouts. Looking to improve the first team a bit during pre-season as well.

£200,000 transfer budget which is not too shabby for League 2, but the wage budget is almost maxed and there are a few players who are way overpaid that I am struggling to move on. It looks set to be an interesting challenge.

One thing I noticed is that Team Talks are a lot harder compared to 2011. I had it all sussed, but now I'm struggling to say the right things.

Interact with the board - funds to buy a player

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically trigger this on every new game?

On my current Newcastle save, I got them to spend 6 million on Christian Eriksen, but I cant get them to do it again on any new game?

I think that this is also an extra spend to any transfer funds they give you, so if they give you 8 milliion at the start, its actually 8 + 6 (or new player)

Obviously it doesnt work with silly money buys, but it does for a reasonable amount

That's what I thought! I only ended up spending £45k of that though. Loan players whose wages I didn't have to pay are filling the rest of the gaps.

Bertser

Finally :cool:

kryogen

Looks like a great achievement judging by the other teams in that group, well done man!

Bertser

Lost 6-3 on aggregate to Man City in the Last 16 but still good progress

EDIT: Thanks kryogen

Mc Love

One of my players just scored a double hattrick!! Was hoping he would make 7 but I am pretty pleased that he scored 6

If he'd made 7 you'd just have hoped he made 8

I often get that in preseason. I once had my main striker score 11 goals in the one match! :cool:

Check this one out -

*Not my game but I remember reading about this guy on the sicommunity site ages ago, the legendary player Andrew Smylie.




Very cool story actually, guy took Knockbreda in the NI league and made them into a Euro force and this mental regen turns up and scores 3000 career goals or thereabouts. Used to have the thread on the forum over there but not sure if it's still there or not, definitely worth a look if you're an FM fan.

http://footballmanagerwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Andrew_Smylie

Something I've always fancied trying, but he put shocking time into the challenge and I just wouldn't have that patience.

Found the thread, worth a read if you have a spare half hour, it's pretty incredible.

Dempsey

I remember Andrew Symlie!!

I was looking at the screenshot thinking "how the f*** does karma have Andrew Smylie? Wait, he was a regen! Wasnt he?" :pac:

davidk11811

NepentheZ has inspired Smylie to goalscoring feats that are beyond words with Knockbreda on FM08

NepentheZ... Where have I heard that name before?

Bertser

How does Smylie's finishing change so much from the first to second season and how does the composure deteriorate so much?

Oat23

Smylie was unreal. I remember that thread!!!

Yeah that's it!

kryogen

Im in the year 2036 in one of my saves and have never come across this Smylie guy

Oh, I see it now, it was in the 08 game.... thought it was 2012 game cause of the thread title

Mc Love

Bloody hell - 15 goals in one game!?!

Bertser

Finished top of the group the season after with Rovers in a group with Man Utd, Juventus and Shakhtar on 15 points, was hoping for an easier draw in the last 16 but got Chelsea, went out. Losing 3 vital players now as they won't renew contracts, will be hard to replace.
