Not really though.
Quality game no doubt, but to say that it is better than the current generations is just a ridicoulous argument.

Cop on like.

there's a new update now on fmformation

**harpstilidie** · 12/02/2008, 12:19 PM

Is anybody doing an el update for it or does this update have all up to date transfers in it? Suppose there's no harm in downloading it and finding out! Another thing is in season 2009 the premier only play 27 games each instead of 36! Its seriously annoying!

Your 2nd issue will be fixed with the SI patch which will be out in a week or so. I worked on their database aswell as a Bohs researcher so that's done pretty well. The other clubs had individual researchers too so I'd say they will be good - finances, stadium etc. as well as players. The DB will be out as part of the patch.

Excellent, thanks!

Patch has been released!

I'm getting it now - will install and have a look around at the eL stuff and report back

Main changes:

Ireland
=======
- If a lower division team wins the Irish First division relegation playoff, it is now always promoted.
- Fixed Irish Champions Leaue representatives not featuring in the All Ireland Cup when Ireland is not active.
- Fixed number of Irish Premier Division rounds as from 2009, should be 4 and not 3.

- Fixed a crash in the Munster Senior Cup caused by a Munster team getting relegated from the Irish First Division.

Someone has to say it, so it might as well be me, is there an option included for making a club promotional dvd/fan protest in FAI Headquarters?

"The Board have allocated you a petrol budget of �70 per week"

ok - about to start up now - I'll set myself as unemployed and run the eL through a season - see what happens

Pluses to start with:

Sporting Fingal are in there from the start in the First Division - with a projected ground move to somewhere called "Turvey Avenue" in 2009 (first I've heard of that)

Good to see the Bohs stuff is fairly accurate - Fenlon as manager, Byrne in the squad, etc. - however, Killian Brennan is still at Derry - and the colours for the club I feel are the wrong way round - it should be black on red, not white on black

Stuff I'm not sure with:
Shels are marked down to move into Tallaght in 2009

United Park is now in Cork for some reason

Limerick 37 are marked down to move into something called "Cals Park" in 2011 - a 10,000 capacity arena

Too many other "projected ground moves" which haven't been set in stone yet - such as the Arkaga Group Stadium (wtf is that all about), and even Harristown

The "Londonderry/Derry" thing is still there - Derry City are listed as playing at "The Brandywell, Londonderry"

I'll holiday it for a year now - see what the Leagues pan out like...

**R�iteoir** · 14/02/2008, 5:32 PM

OK - first hundred days are in - and this is how the leagues look:

Also noted that the Qualifier game for the Setanta (the 1st Division Winners vs the League Cup Winners) is in the game - which is good

**harpstilidie** · 14/02/2008, 5:38 PM

Cheers for the info Reiteoir! Just in the middle of downloading it now. Take it all transfers are up to date and is trappatoni the Ireland manager??

**R�iteoir** · 14/02/2008, 5:46 PM

No - the deadline for data was about two weeks back iirc - and i've already picked up on one transfer not gone through - the Brennan from Derry to Bohs one.

In my game Dave O'Leary is the manager of the National Team

**harpstilidie** · 14/02/2008, 5:48 PM

You can fix the transfers using the editor though cant you?

**R�iteoir** · 14/02/2008, 5:51 PM

yep - that can be done - just got to know which ones haven't been actioned

Yep, jesus it taking ages.

After seeing the table i think i might cancel it, clearly not accurate,Rams should be fifth last, usual anti munster bias!!

**harpstilidie** · 14/02/2008, 5:54 PM

97%...its nearly there! Quite like the table myself!
