josha007 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, you picked Farnborough. Come on Aldershot!!! The DDT file is to make sure that the squads that get promoted from the lower leagues would have all the players they would have in real life (unless they have been sold/released). I thought the point of the DDT file was to give lower rep sides full squads, but I may be wrong. Take a look at the first few pages of the thread, I think most issues are covered there. The only thing I can think of is to make sure the DDT file is selected in the "Preferences>Extra files" section. Well that makes more sense.I've just double checked to see if I put the DDT file in the correct folder, and I have.But it's not in the extra files in the preferences.I installed the game through Steam originally, but have made a shortcut on my desktop so it doesn;t have to load everytime.But I had to put the DDT file in the Program Files/Steam etc etc folder.Could this be why it's not working?

Bluejacket Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does anyone else ever offer the High League/Cup bonuses? If so, do you think it had any effect? Yeah I always put both to high. I've only won BSP, but the high bonuses seems to improve the morale of the squad. This is what can be called good form on past 5 games. All 5 games have been league games, no goals from penalties.

NepentheZ Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have SERIOUS fears for my future at Carshalton, and for the clubs future itself. Because the club is in so much debt, my wage budget is being reduced yearly. My current wage budget is £23,000 per week, but I'm spending £30,000 per week on wages. I've got 21 of my squad of 25 that are out of contract come the end of the season, and I can't offer them wages even close to what they're on now. I'd have to sell 10-12 players just to bring the wages down to be able to offer the rest contracts, but then the club would be in no position to stay in the division. If I can't manage to get any of them to re-sign contracts, I'm going to really struggle to a) - Stay in this division, and b)- stay in League 2 if we get relegated.

Scotty Walds Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Started off our second Championship season without a win in the first 5 games (drew 3 home games, lost 2 away games), but finally came out victorious at Huddersfield. Club legend (read Favoured Personnel only ) Matthew Hart (signed in 2011, it's now 2021 and he's scored 144 league goals in 334 league games all the way up from Conference North) scored the winner, but I feel this may be his last season with the club. His contract is up, and I can't really afford his £150k a year wages for someone who has lost his goalscoring touch. He's not first choice anymore, either.

roseboy64 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Something awful just happened. The save I was using wasn't working too well on this computer I'm using now so transferred it to another until this computer gets upgraded within the next week. So on the other installation I was at the top of League 2 and gotten the money from the Arsenal game and all that at the end of January. That comp started acting up and the owner of it, my father, took it to get sorted and the guy fixing it forgot to save any documents from it at all meaning all my progress is lost. Will have to start the season all over again. I'm not even sure I was promoted yet to League Two in the save on this computer. Oh wait....Just looked on the home network and seen that the renamed save file I'd done during the current season is on it. Will test it now to see how far I'd reached. Thankfully though, it means I'm still in League Two so no changes required to the stats. Now I've just written this for no reason at all TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardiovascular Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 CV - Hitchin Town - L2 - 14/15 One word. Inconsistency. We could've finished second (would've said first, but Rochdale dominated) at a canter but due to the ups and downs of football, we didn't. We smashed team above us 5 or 6 nil, lost 2 or 3 nil to teams below us. Table Graph A decent overall season, as you can see we lost in the play-off final, which was a relief to me, because I'm not sure if League 1 would've been our cup of tea with this inconsistency. Star Players Salif Diao-Jimenez - Brilliant. 15 assists. Was there always, ready to fight. Magical. Mark Leacock - Again, great season. Scored a couple of goals, but got an astounding 8 assists. The ass. man reckons he can't cope here and DL area needs to be improved. We'll see, but if he continues, he's going nowhere. Captain Chris Ramsey - Same old story, brilliant and if there's one thing I want to do with this fella, it's retire his squad number. Craig Whelan 31 league goals in 33 league games earned him L2 Top Goalscorer award but he also bagged 6 goals in 6 games cup-wise. Brilliant. Paul Martin - YP4 - I'm proud to include this fella. Came up through the youth ranks, got 12 assists in 52 appearances. Well done lad. Mark Leacock and Craig Whelan - L2 Team of the Year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbster Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Gilbster - Eastwood Town - Premiership - 2052/53 End of Season Update Well I was given a budget of 500k to spend to stay up in the Premiership, and all I can say is its a very good thing that while in the Championship, I had money to spend and thus had bought some great players. I sold a few players in January and bought some great replacements for other positions, but ultimately have left myself a bit week in defence. I feel we could have finished higher than we did, if we either hadn't lost the last 2 games of the season, or hadn't had a month or so in around November where almost all my strikers were off injured at once. Anyways it was a fantastic season from us, and I honestly don't believe where we have finished. Table Graph Aims Strengthen Defence Stay Up - well with my track record in this division, it has to be a priority. Try and hold onto as many of my squad as possible Not to mess up like I did last time I got a second season in the Prem!

Gilbster Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I really don't believe my chairman. He has accepted a bid for my best central defender that is nowhere near what I want for him. Just because I wont let him move clubs and hes unhappy, I think my chairman accepted it. However this is a chairman that is wanting away from the club himself, and is willing to listen to offers, so what difference does it make to him what players I have left in the club? And of course this is on the day before transfer deadline day, because thats the only time he ever steps in on my behalf. Not when I have time to make an informed choice for replacements!

I started this challenge with AFC Hornchurch on Friday and i've had all weekend and only managed to get into double figures in matches played in the BSS. I was probably playing at the pace you are to start. But once I got a few seasons in the player hunting takes a lot less time as it's totally up to my 16 scouts. I also found the 3d view way to frustrating to watch. GK's coming for the ball, lighting a ciggie and opening a can of beer and staring into the distance until the oppostion stroll up, take the ball and score. Defender's, all 4 of them chasing 1 player leaving 2 or 3 free to score. I could go on but I think there's a 10,000 character limit...but this made me turn off the 3d and go all retro with text commentary only and now the games fly by...good old imagination, it never lets me down.

woodsy18 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Bradford Park Avenue Season 2 Update 2010/11 - Blue Square Premier Media Prediction 20th Actual Position 1st Yet again this season I got an insane transfer and wage budget. I was given a £7 million transfer budget and a £90,000 a week wage budget...for the Blue Square Prem...I do feel a bit guilty about this, I mean people like Gilbster have been toiling away for more than 40 odd seasons and get a measly £525k to spend in the Premiership, I've spent more than that this season! If there was any way I could give you some of my pointless transfer budget Gilbster I would, and how the hell you've kept going for so long is beyond comprehension - truly inspirational FM-ing Anyway, back to my season. Blitzed the league, going 23 games unbeaten, before losing my only game of the whole season to Darlington, peformed pretty rubbish in the cups. Spent more than any other Blue Square club and had by far the highest wage bill. Brought in a few brilliant signings, who were far too good for this league and should stand us in good stead for League football next Season. I was also allowed to scout the whole of UK & Ireland as well as France and Spain. League Table Positions Graph Manager Overview Finances Transfers Squad Manager Profile Star Men Pawel Abbott - The main man up front...cost 350k but he bagged goals consistently all season and finished 2nd in the leading goalscorers. Legend Matt Lockwood - Picked up on a free from Colchester and was a revelation. Cemented his place as first choice left back and, taking all set pieces, finished as the leading assister in the league and also didn't miss a pen all season. Lloyd Cowell - This guy looks seriously good. Why Sheff Wednesday let him go for just 170k I don't know, but I wasn't complaining. Ripped apart defences left, right and centre and he's still just 17! Has the potential to become a leading Championship player...happy days N.B.
