referee33 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I would love to find a game that had all the features of this game but you start off in the regional semi pro leagues like the Ryman or southern league or Dr Martins league and then progress from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DietSpam Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Why make it only English? What would be the point in that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
referee33 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 you still play in the european competitions and have international games but you manage english teams that way the database can be more detailed with a focus on the english game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Or they could just add the next level down of the English leagues. Trouble is it seems like a good idea, but can you honestly rate all the players in the Red Lion 2nd XI?? Reserves too? No. Exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
referee33 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 No there are ex pros playing in those leagues and it makes the game more rewarding in the end, its just as much fun getting promoted at that level and having a good cup run than winning the premiership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archy-91 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 So basically, you want to load all English leagues? But you want more English leagues? It would be worse because although England would progress all other countried would go mental, altering europe. But I digress, all I have to say on it is you already acn play all English, but I don't know why you would want to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Liam Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'd hate a management game that limited me to only 1 country. There are far more important issues than adding yet more leagues lower down in England, which should be a long way back in the queue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwills88 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It would have to be a Scot with a grumpy first reply wouldn't it. Anyway I'd be in favour of more English leagues purely for the fact that my two local teams, Harlow and Chasetown are down there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

santy001 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Firstly, I love chasetown for knocking vale out the FA cup lol. The leagues are undeniably 'crappy' depending upon the context of the word you use, no money, the players are just regular blokes who have to earn a living and their abilities probably represent how many they had the night before. There are a lot of other features that need adding, and not to mention isnt the branch beneath the conference like 4 leagues which would make a lot of hassle just for that, as it branches further and furter down the heirarchy there becomes more regional leagues and such which make it far too much hassle.

pouncer Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 It would be nice to have all the English leagues, but to be honest, would many people use them? People here on the forums are the die hard fans, but the majority of casual players who manage Barcelona or Chelsea wouldn't be too bothered I don't reckon, but thats my veiw! I think there are other aspects of course more important that this, but it is a decent idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klimowicz Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 there are already more english teams represented than in any other league, no real need for more english teams tbh. i would prefer more licsenses for other leagues which were not in fm08 (if anything). as mentioned above, european football would be dominated by english teams which other countries leagues falling apart.

Serdar Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Condering the fact that UK is the main source of cash for SI, I dont think they would completely ignore adding one more level to English leagues. I can say for sure that add local English teams and it will sell more comparing to adding more second division in Eastern Europe countries. Maybe SI can sort this out just by adding them without dropping anythingg else and only people who have local team interest would turn these teams on. Another problem would be to rate them. There are even players in premiership averaging 10-12 in stats so your locals should be around 2-4 to be able to have a fair comparision. I'm really curious how bad it would look to play with guys having this low stats. Well, maybe it is fun since your opponents will be as bad as you.

Mravac Kid Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I like the idea of adding more lower leagues. Except that I want those leagues to be Croatian (But then again, I think most people would like to have their countries' leagues better represented) The idea is rather nice, but it should include other countries... after all there's what, 6 tiers of English football in the game now? Italy , Germany and France have only 4, Spain has 3, and nobody can say that English football is more important or better than those. And there are many (including Croatia) which only have 2. I know the game is primarily English-focused, but it has long since turned into a world-wide management game. The number of leagues is increasing with time, hopefully someday there will be even the lowest tiers... but there's many, many other things that should be done before going further down the leagues.

Mravac Kid Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Oh, and one thing... That issue would be very easily fixed by making the leagues editable. Everyone is constantly trying to add leagues anyway, so why not make it possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest arrogantio Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I think the main problem with the lower leagues, apart from the research side of things would be that teams differentiated from the teams two divisions below them only by the fitness and commitment of their players wouldn't actually be all that fun to play with. Not to mention the total lack of anything resembling a genuine transfer market... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
