FM07 - FMF Database Update V2

[Red&White Rover]

its ok have it sorted now anyway...

[Red&White Rover]

Monaghan Utd are no longer in the league i've just noticed...

[galwayhoop]

Did you make sure to select the right database to load from?

i bought FM 07 for my nephew. I told him i could get an uptodate LoI league sorted for him (after reading that here!!) but truth be told I haven't got a clue. When ye talk of patches, no cd patches ... etc ye may aswell be talking greek to me. How can i update his game - i have original cd of the game and it's downloaded. where do i get this 'patch' and how do i go about uploading it???

(in laymans speak please!!)

If you want to update his game you have to do it on his computer. You could do it on your's and then email his the files as attatchments but the file would be huge.

Go to this link. Download the first one (presuming he has PC not Mac), run and install it.

Then download the update on this thread, follow the instructions and it should work.

when you've put the files in the right folder, and started up the game, make sure to select the "FMF" database from the list. it'll say "original", change that.

depending on how old your nephew is, he might be more comfortable doing it than you

[Steve Bruce]

if you downloaded it, and it works without the cd, you are, whether you install it yourself or not. well, either you are or you're using something to bypass the cd-detection, which is pretty much the same thing but requires a bit more effort.

It's the original .exe and I use Daemon tools and a mirror image to access the game.

But I do not see myself as stealing it as I have bought it, just the disk in damaged. I'm sure SI games won't press charges

New Update.

Why did they get rid of the points deductions of Milan, Lazio etc.?

The one thing I'm hoping for the next FM is that the amount of disallowed goals is reduced, it's seriously a joke in the current game

[DmanDmythDledge]

New season.

[jebus]

New season.

Still, aren't you starting the game from last season when the reductions were in place?

Yes but they want the game to be up to date as of this season.

I bought the predecessor, FM07, on the cheap at the weekend. Any bugs I should be watching out for?

Ridiculously easy to win in the lower leagues (that includes LoI folks).

Just sign two or three half competent players and set your defence a bit deeper than normal.

I play slgihtly direct and attacking but another one of the lads swears by just leaving everything alone.

If starting off in LoI First Division or its equivalent anywhere else Stephen Geoghan, Mark Hutchinson and Russell Payne are must haves (I kid you not)

Training is faintly ridiculous aswell. Get everything up to a four or five star rating and watch the superstars roll off the production line


I realise none of that is bugs per se, but a helpful start none the less

[Aberdonian Stu]

Sounds great, cheers!

How is it lower league?
It is the highest acheivable league in Ireland.

[Lim till i die]

David Bingham with Gretna is a legend aswell and available for 1k.

Also young lad with Dundee called Paul Dixon, sign him no matter what level you're playing at.

I signed him for Gretna for 2k once and two seasons laters was flogging him for 3.8 million

Now, no more hints!!

By the standards of the game.

Because of the level of player the Irish Premier Division is far easier to win than say the English Premiership.

No need to be so defensive, the SPL is fairly sinchy too. In my first season up with Gretna I split the Old Firm and only lost the league to Celtic by a point.

I've never been able to win in Ireland

Ill keep trying though !

It's very easy if you micro-manage. Basically, have a look at your next opponents. Due to the standard of player they won't be very dynamic and will have 1 or 2 very good attributes. Just stick an appropriate defender in to counter act this. Same goes for other end of the pitch.

Best thing you can do is to improve the team balances in the editor. I've realistically increased them i.e. Pats being fairly rich, Bohs having a few million knocking around. This makes the league more competitive as much better players come in.

Don't know about that but you should download the most up to date patch here so there aren't any glitches in the game.
