    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.

    do the co efficients change yet by the way, so you can earn a country some extra places with a little hard work?

    I just deleted FM 10 yesterday because it was taking up too much time. I should have known when I opened this thread that there would be a message to make me badly want the new game.. and there it is.

    The transfer system in the new game has been getting awful reviews. Players falling out with managers over nothing and then being transfer listed for peanuts.

    Yes it has. I've been able to win extra European places for the LOI as far back as FM2007.

    Got the game Sunday. Managing as Dundalk obviously. Not very far in yet but liking the new features. And like last year you activate the A Championship through the editor. Pretty important this, as otherwise you've no games for your reserves.

    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...

    I'm playing as Dundalk so I haven't encountered this problem. Apparently, it's a problem that only really applies to Premier League / La Liga / Serie A clubs that have players with massive reputations.

    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.

    Yeah you can manage Cobh. You can manage first teams in the A Championship like Cobh, Carlow and Castlebar but not the reserve A teams.

    I should have said at least as far back as FM2007.

    You need to activate the A Championship in the editor. It's called the Irish Second Division Championship. 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.

    I haven't got 2011, but in previous versions you get to choose the start date for a new game from a dropdown, e.g. Ireland (January 2010,January 2011) or England July 2010.

    Made Pat O'Sullivan an Underwriter (which is basically what he is!!), sorted out Boez, Fingal and a lot of player ratings, attendances, reputations, throughout the league.

    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.

    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.
