dafuge Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 While I'm waiting for a reply from Bambi, would anyone be able to help be find a FM save before Euro 2008 with the correct teams? I brought that idea up a while ago but I couldn't find one anywhere. Perhaps there might be one around by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisla_krakow Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I brought that idea up a while ago but I couldn't find one anywhere. Perhaps there might be one around by now. I've also asked in the save game thread in GPTG and the FM thread in OTF, hopefully I'll get a positive result. I'm 99% sure there is one somewhere.

PaulHartman71 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I imagine you could get one, but would have to fix the qualifiers, and then the day before the groups are drawn, keep re-loading it up until you get the right groups, could take a while though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisla_krakow Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Getting the correct teams should be easy enough as there's only 2/3 group games left iirc. I reckon the draw wouldn't be too hard, the groups are seeded so I'd at least be able to get close enough to the proper draw. EDIT: I've got all the correct teams qualifying easily enough, I know the draw date is early December irl but on FM don't they have it in mid-December? I'll take a look around the month and see. Also, if anyone could tell me the FM date for Euro 2008 squad selection that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisla_krakow Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I won't be able to re-create the exact Euro 2008 groups unfortunately, as some teams who were in the same group irl (Sweden and Russia) are in the same pot, so cannot be drawn together. However, I've done my own Euro 2008 draw after 3 attempts to get an interesting conclusion, and I'm sure it'll be just as entertaining as the real one. And naturally, there's a Group of Death! Lets just say, you'll be unlucky if you end up with a team in Group C... I'll be planning to launch this (in tandem with my current sign-up, that'll still be going) as soon as I find the date for Euro 2008 squad selection, and when/if Bambi replies to my e-mail.

canvey!! Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've an idea: an endurance event sign-up along the lines of 'English Endurance' or something. The basic premise being that 20, 44, 68, 92 or however many people sign-up and each get a team in the Football League. The aim then is to see who can last the longest. I could set it for only Premiership, Prem & Championship, them and League 1 or the whole Football League, or more, depending on how many people want to sign up. Basically I get everyone's manager details (very basic as it could be a lot of people) and create them in the editor, adding them to an English club and seeing how long they last, doing reports on their progress every half-season. Whoever wins can be the 'English Endurance King' (or Queen). The idea's in a larvae stage and all ideas/criticisms welcome and necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 How can you get an award for doing nothing? At first I thought you meant we take control and see who can get through the most seasons which I'd be interested in, TBH the above doesn't interest me but it could interest a few others I suppose, the most you'd get would probably be the Premiership though tbh.

Robert_296 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 What do you mean how can you get an award? I think it could be very good canvey!! although it is rather luck of the draw as the people with Man U etc will sty the longest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowcrapup Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I agree it could be a good idea but one thing it doesn't take into account is rehiring and movings club e.g. Mr A is fired as Sunderland manager. Sunderland then go on to hire Senoir B from Fulham. Now under the original idea this would count as a loss however he did not lose his job he merely moved. However saying that I still would be interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't get why you should be given the title of Endurance King or anything similiar for doing nothing, obv that's just my opinion but I think you should only get titles/awards for working towards something no matter what it is.

Guest roberto922 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 That's easily counterd blowcrapup (love the name ) you could just go by how long they went without getting sacked rather than staying in the same job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be silly if one manager went through 5 or 6 different jobs but still won the sign-up. The 'English Endurance King' was just something they could title themselves with. It isn't supposed to be an award and the main purpose of the sign-up would be for entertainment. Still, I'll leave this open for discussion, see what others have to say.

Robert_296 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 But the whole idea of the sign up is to see who can stay at their club for the longest, moving form a league one club ot a prem club would mean you have failed it.

leedsfan88 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 So here is my idea for a challenge -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The challenge is you can only use players at the club when you arrive, and you can only use players that come throught your youth set up. Well this the basis for it. I'm started it with limerick 37. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for it to make it better. You can loan in 3 players a season and maybe bring in 3/4 free signings a season So what do you think Plz tell me it isn't been done already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just seems like an average career game to me until you get higher up, it could be quite good if you added a couple more things though. Perhaps stuff like if you want to keep it local, after the players that are there when you start go you could set restrictions like you can only sign players from the clubs nation or if you want to be stricter the clubs city?

Any help appreciated, Pluckaduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It depends what kind of information you're wanting to keep track of really, I know it's a lot easier to follow a players career if you're managing a team but I wouldn't have thought it was necessary to be managing a team follow a managers career.
