Pronoes Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Something I've struggled with for a few incarnations of FM. Despite my best intentions, 5/10/15+ years of 'keeping it real' with my manager, the Add New Manager button still calls to me. Whether it be out of 'necessity', just to keep myself in the job having almost bankrupt the club I love (a few million from Real won't hurt...will it?), or to DESTROY whoever I feel like watching slide down the tables (bye bye Chelsea), I can't resist. Would it not be possible to add some feature / option of disabling the add new manager button once you've started a campaign? 10 years down the line, when I'm a little frustrated or bored and decide to break the record transfer fee for my 16 year old fringe player no one has ever heard of, then comes the inevitable feeling of betrayal, revulsion and the breaking of immersion. Disappointment and self loathing quickly follow but I overcome this feeling by adding "LOLZ" as new manager of Barcelona and buying even more of my own players. The cycle continues until I have no desire to load up FM any more, since my 6 month game has been destroyed and any thought of starting again is quashed by feelings I'm too weak of character to maintain a legitimate save. TLDR - Add option to disable "Add New Manager" when starting a new save. (Or sell 'single-player' copies!! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmf1488 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Haha I remember doing this on CM around 99-01 when I was about 12. 20m was the most you could get if i remember correctly but used to do it all the time. Dont do it now though, feels cheap and dirty to even consider it. good luck with your addiction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccer.joel Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I did it once on FM10 but never again as it makes your game feel unrealistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevMaaan Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I done this for the first time on FM11, never done it again. Its just a very hollow victory and ruins the game for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I done it once but then just got bored a couple of in game weeks later. Just felt that I ruined the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guarnere Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Funny to see many have tried it and everyone ended up feeling they screwed up their game xD Have to admit I've done it too though, with similar results Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclewington Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 If you really feel you need to, why don't you go down the slightly more realistic front and edit in a tycoon chairman? This won't hurt your competitors in competition, just give you the financial room you might need / want? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just duplicate your save, and use one as the much around one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guarnere Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Anyone remember offering an amount for a player, offer accepted, click back to news then offer £0 and offer contract?? Can't recall which version this was, but I know it was possible at some point. I never used it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronoes Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Ha, glad to see I'm not the only one. If they could just add a checkbox "Disable Add New Manager" at the start of a save - I'd be delighted =D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yeah, I think this is the absolute best use of the developers time to implement and test features just to stop someone cheating in a single player game. Top work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenco Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Ha, glad to see I'm not the only one. If they could just add a checkbox "Disable Add New Manager" at the start of a save - I'd be delighted =D If you haven't got the self-control to stop yourself adding a manager, how will you even be able to check the box in the first place?
