Just to spice this up again, are there any players that you try and buy a lot when you're playing? When I do League of Ireland I basically take what I can get but after getting Limerick promoted one year in CM 2000/01 I strengthed the squad with Alan Kernaghan (a rock), John Sheridan and Tommy Coyne (couldn't even hold a place on the bench!). I remember signing a young lad called Robbie Daly in the same game but I think he was randomly generated.
With bigger teams I'd recommend Aimo Diana, Dmitrios Gramosis (spelling is off, he's a Greek/German with Hamburg I think), the usual Backircioglu and Kallstrom tandem, a verstaile defender called Suleyman Sleyman (again, spelling isn't great there but he's a Syrian/Swede), Greek international keeper with a long name that starts with 'E', Nigmatulin is a good cheapish keeper, Ajax have some players who develop well (Yakubu, Cruz, Trabelsi, Hersi), John Buikelma becomes a decent player as well. I've never really bothered with huge clubs, Villa, Celtic and Ajax are about my biggest so take that as a gauge. Oh and Taribo West on a free in a lot of editions is a good buy as well.

The ball is round and has many surprises.
It disappeared when I downloaded the second patch. I couldn't find the magazine in Cork, does anyone have any suggestions? I think the keeper's Eleftheropolous.Originally posted by UCD_4_Life
It was in the last time I checked.
It's called "The Vans trophy"

Hitman, I'm in Cork for the weekend. If you want a copy I'll check in Limerick today and see if there's any left. The I can arrange to meet you in Cork on Saturday maybe and hand over the Magazine/CD in return for the cost price. It's a bit pricey at just under a tenner but if you want to do that either PM me here or else e-mail me as soon as you get a chance.
I take lunch at 12.45
And you got the Greek keeper right too!

wat do you do to get these players
just got cm4 and its very slow is that normal ?
Yeah its normal.Its very slow
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
EP 4 is out now, with EP 5 on the way.
Which would lead to the question... why release the thing when it takes 5 mods to fix it?
And my money is on a sixth mod being released.
You never know, all the bugs might be fixed by the time CM 5 is out
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Yeah, it should never have been released in the state it was in... smelled of money to be honest. I'll be much warier of buying straigh-off next time out.

Yes but at that stage they will have created a whole load of new ones!!!Originally posted by Ruairi

I don't think spending 50+ on the next full version is justified. You should be able to get a data update ( including patches ) for 10-15. That would be fair.
If they introduced a 3D Match Engine in the next version, then it would be worth paying for.
Rumour has it that they abandoned a 3d match engine for Cm4. In the CM4 magazine one of the development tema said that they'd need proper visualisation for over 200,000 players, and that it'd be like writing another game entirely.Originally posted by Shelsman

It's slow enough anyway, imagine CM with a 3D engine?? Imagine the loading times!!! It'd be like being back in the commodore 64 days!

What bugs does EP4 fix? Is there much advance on the third patch?

A 3D match engine won't be introduced for at least five years and even then, unless it's perfect, it'd be commercial suicide for SI Games. Most of the fanbase just wouldn't accept it.Originally posted by Shelsman

To answer Hitman's question, yes it does fix A LOT of bugs. It also causes a dozen new ones though and the fix list for EP5 is also quite large. It's been three months since I've bought the bloody thing and I've only gotten about two weeks of enjoyment out of it. SI have handled the situation terribly and won't be getting anymore of my money again.
And stay out of Bumtown, ya no talent bum.
check a few of these out- ibrahim ali, got him on a free, s, schoof- got him on loan from leverkusen. phillippe mexes centre back for france in the confederations cup plays for auxerre. ivan rocha got him on a free. fabian ernst on loan from werder bremen, slavisa jokanovic, got him on a free, ivan hurtado also free and brett emerton on loan from feyenoord. currently joint second with bohs neither of us has lost a game and weve played 22 not including the cup. bohs got knocked out in the quarter finals of the champions league by liverpool on 2-1 agg.
i downloaded ep 4 and have it on cd, if anyone wants it PM me and i'll give it to ya, or post it to ya if needs be

does anyone here have that unofficial game editor that came with cm4 magazine????
if you do and you got it to work then please help me out =]
basically i have used the editor to make myself a little dream team and when i start a new game it crashes =[
can anyone out there help me out??
thanx a bunch
Anyone got any Player Tips?
As Manager of Derry I could sign:
Stephen Hughes (Injured for 5 Months) Sold for £250,000 to Rangers
Kanchelskis
Les Ferdinand
Per Frandsen
Also look out for a young Bulgarian called Torpindov (16yo) Valencia, Real, Feyenoord all calling for him....
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
I signed David Welch for Drogheda from Cork City on loan for the season and he and Andy Myler scored nigh on 60 goals on the way to winning the first division (Myler ended up with about 35 I think).
When I was playing with Cork City I signed Ray Carolan from Kilkenny (I think) on a free transfer, and he was excellent in the holding role in midfield.
Ken Oman (Bohs) is handy, got him on loan for two seasons, but the bugger wouldn't sign a permanent deal, despite a fee being agreed.
And, obviously enough, John O'Flynn is magic.
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Kevin Kyle and Neil Mellor are usually good loan signings.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes for his friends.
In the first division Paul Keegan (Leeds), Alan Dunne (Milwall) and Neal Horgan (Cork) helped me and my Limerick boys to promotion.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
......On another issue, anyone interested in an EL Network Game?
Might be a laugh.
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
