Has it to be activated in the editor again this year?
anyone have any free links for fm ?
The new FM should be good for managing in Ireland because of the "dynamic league reputation" meaning that success in Europe will mean the league will be able to attract better players.
finally!!Quote:

Anyone know where to get the Airtricity League logo for the game??
You've been able to do that for ages.Quote:

What's this like if you've got the game? I've read the same things, all to do with the heightened 'realism' when dealing with players. Apparently they fall out with you for no reason at all...Quote:

Selling players is extremely difficult in the game though. I've listed first team fringe players for sale with an asking price of €0 and status set to 'not needed'. Offered them around and no clubs at all are interested. In previous versions you'd always find a non league team who'd take these kind of players off your hands.
It was there in CM01/02.Quote:

I don't have the game here at the moment but the route in the editor is something like create nation rules, add lower league. Then you pick Ireland, go to the A Championship and stick in a championship playoff, test nation rules and that should say everything is fine.Quote:

And the game is bloody well easy! :)
Limerick are premier now, in the realism stakes I'm not sure if Gavin Mahon and Gavin McCann signing on to play in my midfield for 300 quid a week each at the start of my first season in the Premier is super realistic but I'll take it. :p
Also, lad managin Dundalk, try to lay hands on Callum Davenport at the start of your second season. He came to Limerick for 650 pound a week and he is a BEAST of a defender at LoI level.
Got this today. Boreham Wood's rise to glory starts here.
(Damn but they're frightening terrible at the moment though)
Anyone got any links to crests and players faces?
Search fmbase.co.uk or sortitoutsi.netQuote:

Any chance you could post a description of each division i.e. what teams are in each one? Thats if you get the chance now, thanksQuote:

Then I just divided up what clubs the game already has into the regions but I had to add loads of clubs from the West to make up the numbers, so clubs like Westport utd, Carbury utd, strand celtic, Galway hibs. Added some clubs for the south too like Pike rovers, Nenagh Celtic and others. East is mainly dublin clubs.
Some clubs like Pike Rovers are already in the game database but not assigned a country

I sense my interest piquing. I hate this game and what it did to me in 2009. I fret that I may make the same error and stupidly purchase it. I shall endeavour not to and stick to Pro ev for now...
Had a bit too much spare time over xmas and added 3 more levels to that pyramid structure if anyones interested.
Had to add a ****load of junior clubs

For those that have played 2010 and 2011 is it true that 2011 is a lot better ?
FM08 was the last game I had. Don't like this game at all, gone way too technical compared to 08. I pick up an injury every couple of games and a load of yellows each game, losing more or less every game no matter what I do.
It's lost its "addictiveness". Or maybe I'm getting old?
