Thought this was a little odd, I'd just presumed that the game would start with them not in the squad and they'd get called up as the season went on.
Probably of little interest to anyone but me but there you go!
im trying to start an online league with just four or five of my friends, how do i go about this, How would i find out my friends "network address of the server".
I'll post up full instructions tomorrow on how to do thatQuote:

I have a slight problem in my game and its annoying me and i don't think there is any way around it but im managing Harps and i'm trying to sign Matthew Gordon from Sligo Rovers, he is on a full time month to month contract and i put in a bid for him. That was accepted and i agreed terms with him but then i can't sign him because he is Australian and i need a work permit. But as he is already playing in Ireland why is it a problem and is there anyway around it?
I could do with him badly! :D
i think you need a new work permit everytime. wait until he's elegible for irish citizenship? :P
also its's incredibly annoying that Kilkenny still exist and take Fingal's place in the league cup :mad:
I'll have to wait almost 500 days then for irish citizenship...way too long. By that stage he could be anywhere.
Yeah noticed that alright. I don't know why Kilkenny are still even in the game.
Its the same when it comes to Luca....as in previous games. You cant renew his contract at all and by the time you can he aint good enough anymore! Really anoying as it means u can get everyone else on full time contracts and he gets worse cause of it!Quote:

**************************
1. HOSTING A NETWORK GAME
**************************
Hosting a network game on FM08 is similar to previous versions. This
guide will take you step by step through how to get a game running.
a) Click START NEW GAME and create a game as usual.
b) Add your manager details and what team you wish to manage
c) Click on OPTIONS at the top of the screen
d) Click on PREFERENCES in the menu list
e) Select the NETWORK tab
f) Click the tickbox next to RUN AS SERVER put in a name in the NAME OF SERVER
g) Add a password in the password field if you wish to stop unwanted players from
connecting to your game.
h) Now click CONFIRM at the bottom of this screen. Now your game is running
as a server(online)
i) Click on GAME STATUS and you should see a SERVER I.P ADDRESS(numbers and dots)
j) Tell all the players who are going to join your network game your I.P ADDRESS and
password(if set).
k) Wait for all the other players to join the game(see next section)
**************************
2. JOINING A NETWORK GAME
**************************
Unlike hosting a network game, joining a net game is similar to earlier versions of CM.
This guide will take you step by step through how to join a net game.
a) Get the IP ADDRESS and password(if set) from the host of the game(see previous section)
b) Open up FM07 and click on NETWORK
c) Click on JOIN OTHER SERVER and then enter the IP ADDRESS that you got
in step (a) now click OK.
d) This should now take you to the network game where you can now click on
ADD MANAGER to begin. If you fail to connect, look at the COMMON PROBLEMS below.
*******************
3. COMMON PROBLEMS
*******************
Are you or other players getting a "Cannot Connect to Server" message? Check out the following points:
1. Get the host of the game to check that they have followed the above instructions exactly. A common
error is not pressing CONFIRM after ticking the "Run as Server" box.
2. Make sure all players have the same version(same patches installed etc.). If not then players
with a different version than the host will not be able to connect. Download the latest patch
from Sports Interactive - The creators of the Championship Manager series and developers of Football Manager 2005, NHL EHM and OOTP:FE.
3. If you are using a router or a firewall then you need to open the ports 10093 and 10094 (UDP and TCP).
Refer to the documentation for your router/firewall for instructions on how to do this or
visit PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall.
****************
4. HINTS & TIPS
****************
1. It is recommended that for network games you have ‘Move Matches for TV’ un-ticked in your
preferences. This speeds up play of the game as all players will be playing their matches
at the same time, causing less waiting time for everyone. It is important that not only the
host, but all clients have this option unchecked at all times.
2. You may also wish to agree on a set amount(and dates) for pre-season friendlies. This allows
all players to prepare their team without causing huge delays for the other players.
3. It is recommended that you have contact to all your players on an instant messaging service,
like MSN or AIM. This means that if players are disconnected or cannot connect you can address
the issue more efficiently.

This FAQ was written by myself(OOTER) using information from Football Manager 2008, the game manual and
the official website of the game developers(Sports Interactive - The creators of the Championship Manager series and developers of Football Manager 2005, NHL EHM and OOTP:FE)
I would like to thank Sports Interactive and SEGA for bringing us this game.
Post up a pic of your squad. Also when uploading an image on imageshack, change the size to 640 rather than the 320 its set at.Quote:

(Well actually, that was two questions, but you get my drift.)
I bought this about two weeks ago and have hardly touched the actual game, since I've been spending most of my time trying to edit out the bugs and making sure transfers are up to date. The next step is this, then hopefully I'll be ready to play and can actually comment on the game's quality.
Its simple to do really.Quote:

When in the game, go to preferences, and select "always reload skin on confirm"
deselect "use skin cache"
That should do it! :D
Oh yeah and you don't need a patch of any sort.
Thanks.
I'll let you know how I get on with it when I get round to doing it!
:mad:Found a bug in the game which cost me relegation. I finished 2nd bottom in the Premier with Harps in 2010 season with Athlone finishing bottom and Dundalk just above me so Athlone were relegated automatically. I was in a play-off with Dundalk which i won 3-2 so i thought that i had stayed up... then i realised that it was me who had to play the promotion/relegation play-off against Bray who finished 2nd in the First Division and i lost this 3-2 after both legs. Really annoying. It should have been Dundalk playing them and not me! :mad:
Should it not be the case that you don't play Dundalk but rather automatically play Bray?Quote:
