It's a good idea imo, but not one that should be included in a game like Football Manager, but FIFA manager. There used to be an old manager game where you could be pick stuff like this.

Norville Rodgers Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Silva, i wasn't excusing him by saying he was a product of the text-speak generation.

Back on topic, it's clearly a licensing issue, but I wonder if certain companies would be interested in their name featuring in a game as popular and widespread as this one.

Norville Rodgers Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I've suddenly become misty-eyed over the lack of Premier Manager in my life. Yes, it was unrealistic to be able to complete a season in 30 minutes using the instant result button. Yes, it was easy to get round the "only-4-non-EU-players" ruling by bidding for them before European games (when the little flags next to their names disappeared), but does FM offer you the chance to install undersoil heat, expand carparks or increase the capacity to over 150,000 in the space of just one season, knowing you can comfortably sell out despite hiking the tickets up to £95 a go? No, it effing well doesn't! We're going backwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falastur Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The grammer and spelling in the OP is some of the worst I have ever seen. Good job Kifty:thup: On topic awful idea. I have a few casual observations, if I may: 1. "Grammar" has no 'e'. It has another 'a' instead. 2. "grammer and spelling" [sic] are two items in this sentence. Therefore, the verb "to be" should take the form 'are' (for the plural") not 'is'. 3. If we are being extremely language-exacting, I'm not sure "grammer and spelling" [sic] qualifies for the quantifier "some"; it's just not technically correct. Rather, you should use "is among the worst" or "are a few of the worst [examples] I have ever seen". 4. There should be a full stop after the word "Kifty". 5. There should be a space between "Kifty" (incl. full stop) and your emote. 6. There should be a comma between "topic" and "awful". 7. "On topic awful idea" is a sentence fragment and thus not correct English. I have nothing against people correcting other peoples' spelling and grammar - though some discretion and kindness might be observed in the case of 13 year olds - however, I find it somewhat ironic when those people who chose to do so fail to live up to their own standards. In summary, if you're going to make sure that you correct someone else's language, ensure yours is perfect or it will be picked apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norville Rodgers Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Falastur, you have just been added to a list of heroes (written in bold type) that I keep with me wherever I go. Always nice to correct the corrector. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
