Your being anal, if you plan on nit-picking through everyone of the players in FM be my guest but it's gonna take awhile...............................
Overall IMO they've got the balance spot on. In the real world the league of Ireland is largely crap. In FM it's largely crap ;)
The actual standard of player isnt being reflected accurately in my opinion on FM .
But it's all relative to the limitations of the gameQuote:

I would give our best player a rating of 100 at least thats only done when doing the comparision with other players ive seen that have been given 100+ ratings in the game.
Then if we're after more realism should we not be asking FM to lower the ratings of lower league Scotland, England etc. instead of raising the levels of Irish players to absurd heights?Quote:

I would bet a lot of money that when the next edition or update of FM comes out that those former eL players playing in the UK now will magically find their stats and abilities to be better.
Saying that a player from Sligo is even half the player Ronaldinho is is pretty absurd to meQuote:

Then a news report says he was dissapointed to be transfer listed but he'll get his head down and try to perform for his new club. Whats the story with that?
I suppose it wasn't a bad bit of business as I'd got him for free. I then replaced him with Jason Byrne who I bought from Cardiff for 26 grand (Cardiff had bought him for 200 grand the season before).
I've noticed Byrne and Crowe seem to go to a Championship club in the first season, flop and come home out of it alright. As for DJ, well he probably just read Cashley's story of victimhood and followed suit :)Quote:

Won the Premier League with Arsenal in my second season in charge (not as easy as it sounds as Steve McLaren, their previous boos had decimated the squad and they had finished 9th the year before I took over), and retired having led Sheffield Wednesday to becoming a mid table Premier team, won the European Championship with Ireland and taken the Premier League crown, League Cup and the Intertoto Cup (ahem) with Arsenal. Proudest moment for me was either single handedly wiping out Wednesday's debts, or re-signing Alan Quinn on a free and purposefully destroying his career....in many ways I'm a petty man

Just finished my first season with Kilkenny and it wasn't too bad. Although I finished 10th in the First Division I was only 16 points off the champions. Started off badly and that ****ed me up. Gary Deegan was the third best player in the division and Russel Payne got keeper of the year, both were in the team of the year! Best moments were knocking Longford out of the FAI Cup :o and beating Rovers 5-1 ;) :D

Starting 11-
GK-James Hoad
DR - Stephen Rice :eek:
DC - Paul Green
DC - Barry Ferguson :eek:
DC - Jason McGuinness (I'd keep going with the shockies but theres a limit on 'em!)
DL - Dessie Byrne (see above bracket)
MR - Fergal Harkin
MC - Harry Arter (19 yr old Signed from Charlton)
MC - Alan Quinn
ML - Graham Hopkins
FC - Stephen Ward
on the bench Jason Byrne, Alan Stubbs (yes that Alan Stubbs), Kevin Hunt, Mark Rossiter, Gary Rogers, Stephen o' Flynn, Jamie Vincent
The big difference in my teams performances this year seem to be down to the coaching staff I hired in the close season including a fitness coach. Also theres my own tactical genius...
EDIT:
Got there.
Drew, Milan, Marseille and Rangers!!! Given €3,900,000! Board immediately increased my transfer kitty and agreed to improve youth facilities.
Onwards and upwards!
Was looking for a football game for a while. Student so can't afford 45EU to get FM07 but found FM05 for 5.98EU yesterday and spend around 7 hours playing it yesterday as DCFC. It's infuriatingly addictive!
Im sickened i was in the champs league final V chesea and on thurs night my house got broken into and my laptop stolen !!! :mad:
Update for FM 2007 with all the transfer window moves, plus some bug fixes here: http://www.footballmanager.net/en/article/21/1443.html
Also news of a Football Manager Quiz for your mobile here: http://www.footballmanager.net/en/article/21/1448.html
Lost 2-0 at home to Milan but beat Rangers 2-0 at Ibrox!!!
In domestic news, I have won the AIC, The League cup, sitting pretty at the top of the League with an 11 point lead and 2 games in hand over the Drogs and in the FAI cup Semi.
Game is much too easy to be honest, hope the patch fixes a lot of that. Started a new game at Liverpool, in my first three seasons I won 3 Champions Leagues on the trot as well as a Premier League, moved to Inter Milan and won my fourth consecutive Champions League aswell as the Serie A, then moved on to Lyon, won the French League and got to the semi finals of the Champions League with a bunch of West Ham cast offs, far too easy
one of my best ever games , i'v just gone halfway through my 2008 season sorry for the poor quality just click to magnify

If its that easy... try Crawley :P lol...Quote:

Dunno about that, I reckon it's easier than previous games too. I won the UEFA Cup in my second season with Man City, only major alterations to the squad was getting in Ryan Smith and securing Damarcus Beasley to a permanent deal!Quote:

I gave up managing top teams after the first season i played as liverpool...
I also took Sheffield Wednesday into Europe within 2 years in a previous game and went on and won the European Championship with Ireland, as for Crawley, well I'll leave them up to your good self. Still reckon winning 3 successive European Cups with Liverpool is proof positive that the game is too easyQuote:
