k thx 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 The game looks to be full of neat little touches.The controversial incident screen is hella fun. As is being able to put your picture into the game. After a dozen games, I've taken Aldershot into mid table obscurity, mainly because the only plaer I was able to buy didn't score for 8 games. He got a status saying he was determined not to let his lack of goals affect him. When he did score, a message came up saying how he managed to end his goal drought and hadn't scored for over 10 hours. Nice touches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 I love the Incidents, beat Orient 1-0 with a Brooker header which their boss thought was offside, he complained to all the press about the Decision, the Replay didn't really show anything, maybe for a future version they'll have the line going across to make it easier for us to see. If it happens to me I'll stay quiet, don't want a touchline ban with the Assistant I've got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 Actually, I really want to see what a touchline ban entails. An AI manager had it on my game, but I didn't have the chance. The only contoversial incident I had, the opposition were offside when they scored a last minute winner (I was down to 10 men as well-bastards). I complained that the officials were useless, and all that happend was a message saying the FA were keeping silent on the matter. It looks as though the lower th league, the worse the officials and the more controversy. Which will make LLM fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 When the FA stay silent it's because they agree with the complaining manager. When you get a touchline ban You have no Control over your matches and your Ass Man does tactics and team talks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 This all sounds so great. I'm not going to download the demo, as i'm actually on my way to reaching my life long (ie since the last game) dream of taking Derby to the Champions League. I knocked out Barcelona 6-0 on aggregate in the first knock out stage. Now it's Madrid. They don't come easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 There's lots more off the ball incidents, had 2 Elbows, 1 Headbutt and a Kick all by the other team. The Opp Instructions are great as well, I was against Cardiff and had McPhail Tightly Marked with Hard Tacking on him, after about an hour he did a two footed tackle and was sent off. Doing well on my City game(2nd), signed Matt Jansen and Sean Evans(Man U Left Winger) and play a direct style with Showunmi/Brooker and Jansen/Jevons up front. Middlesbrough(Chosen ahead of Charlton and Reading) are my Parent Club and Sligo Rovers(Ahead of Boston) my Feeder Team. Edit: Dean Grubb's done his ligaments in the Demo and is out for 10 months, in Real Life he's just come back from the same injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, opposition instructions are great. I played Chelsea in the leagu cup as Pompey, and they were fielding an inexperienced left back. I told my players to close him down, and ended up getting a goal from a poor backpass he made. Still loss, but I was expecting that. Touchline bans scare me. Greatly.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 I don't know, it has the potential to be great. Imagine if it's the final of something, or the last day of the season and you need a win to stay up/win the league. Last game, your assistant manager is in charge, then out of nowhere, when you're 1-0 down, with 20 minutes to go, he takes your star striker off and puts on another defender. Imagine the heat on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 Just preordered my copy of FM07, having played the demo which seemed pretty cool, if tough. In FM06 I was able to get Forest back to the premiership in 2 seasons, in the new game I could barely score a goal with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 As every season passes, the FM games seem to get more in depth. This makes it harder. Back a few years ago, you only needed the 11 best players and you won everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2006 How would you rate the research for your teams? This year's for us is way better than before, they've included more of the Academy players and given players like Orr and Noble big improvements. One downside is about 7 Sell ons not included(cause we haven't disclosed percentage), could annoy me if Cotts or Lita get big moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 Some pics from my City game so far, only editing was Keogh being Competent at RB, Marcus to Yeovil(because they pay 50% of his 6,000 wages during the Loan) and some Sell On Clauses. League Table Squad Results 1 Results 2 Transfers In Loans In Transfers Out Loans Out 8-0 Against Rovers City vs. Rovers Player Ratings Jennison Goal Drought Got the Parry money because he was "High Profile" and the Chairman paid the extra 875,000 out his own pocket. Villa are my Parent team, no 1st option in the Deal which is good cause they're scouting JMW. Weston were the best team I could get as Feeder, that'll change first chance I get though. The Friendlies were Done by Assistant Keith Millen who soon after got the Darlington job. That Jennison article is unfair, that Rovers match was the 1st time I've played him up front, he's usually my Impact Sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broward83 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2006 Welp, I officially purchased this on Amazon about an hour so ago. As a completely new player to the franchise, what are some pointers I can get from y'all? Like, is it better (just to get my feet wet) to pick a team like Man U or Chelsea, just to understand the mechanics of it all, or would I be better off picking a team in the MLS and trying to move them up the ranks in the world? Any insight would be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
