Last time I checked play.com also sell games and they're usually very good value.

K thanks Gus! Hope mine gets here quicker than your friends.What do you think of the game? Is the Sligo Rovers team right in it?

Got to the end of my second season as the Town and it keeps crashing back to desktop with no error report or anything, same date every time, November 22nd 2005, looked up Sports Interactive's forum and it seems to be a common problem, anyone else had it yet? Looks like I'll have to wait for a patch..damned annoying though I was enjoying it

Same thing with me. I got UCD promoted but had a season more like Bray in real life, scraped in. In the second season I was relegated, just thoroughly outclassed. Then the crashing. Have to wait for a patch yeah. I think it can't handle the change in league structure and the play offs being introduced again.

**Longfordian** · 20/11/2004, 1:11 AM

I finished 6th both seasons, won two league cups in a row and a Leinster Senior Cup, got to the Setanta Cup final too but lost to Shels, cup specialists just like the "real" Town! They better hurry up with the damn patch, it's very addictive..

Yup, same here. I reported it to SI and apparently it'll be fixed in the next patch.

**Longfordian** · 20/11/2004, 8:12 PM

That's a fairly big bug like, you'd think it would've shown up in thorough testing before release..oh well, hope the patch arrives soon.

**UCD_4_Life** · 20/11/2004, 9:12 PM

Yeah, it's very disappointing, especially seeing as I was enjoying the game HUGELY at the point where it crashed.

Shocking that they missed it, really.

I'm currently doing facepacks for this game, is there much interest in it though? I mean I could work on an Eircom League Superpack.

I've just finished the Cork City one. Let me know if you would be interested in a face pack for your own club.

If you havent a notion what I'm talking about click the link below for an in game screenshot with a face added to a profile

Yep still as consumed in CM/FM since the day I was born...just a quick update, I've now got a Logo Pack and A competition Pack for the LOI, as well as a few jersies done.

Here's what Georgies screen looks like with the Player Pic, League Logo and Cork City crest.
