Started a Network game with Fraser_Arab and another guy.

We chose First Division teams at random. I drew St Johnstone, Heed got Dundee, and the other guy, Aidi, got St Mirren.

Going into the first game of the season, the squads are like this:

Mine
[attachmentid=8856]

Heed's
[attachmentid=8857]

Aidi's
[attachmentid=8858]

My squad will be changing quite significantly shorty, though. I sold Simon Mensing to Celtic for £250,000 thumbup2.gif

I've not played that game since sad.gif

I had a better game where I was Stenny, got promoted, took over someone else, got the Scotland job aswell, got promoted to the 1st, took over at Ross County and thats where I am (took me a while to do all this though). Only thing is I don't have a clue who to play for Ross County because I don't know any players they have in their team now. laugh.gif But IIRC then I got Scotland into Euro 2012 or something. biggrin.gif

i've tried downloading some new skins for my game. However, when i go into the skins file there are already files in it. I'm guessing these are the ones which come with the game (its files such as 'chameleon2006', 'metallic2006') do i have to remove these from the skins file before the new, downloaded skin will work?

My computer is an apple so i don't really know how to go about making these features work. Help would be appreciated. Cheers!

Poor stuff.

About to start yet another new game with Pompey. I tried one yesterday but didnt have enough money in the end ohmy.gif

I spent
James Morrison 8.5m
Steed Malbranque 10.5m

I overspent way to much and sold every player minus Gary O'Neill

That was a great game.

Both teams were totally wrecked.

Chris Finnigan had 12% condition by the end of extra time, but still managed to score his penalty.

I need help on playing a network game.

Me and my mate ant to play a network game and my mate has set up a network game, and has given me the server address, which I copied and clicked 'join server' and pasted it in there but it says 'cannot join to server' or something similar like that.

Could someone tell us a step by step guide to successfully set up a network game and all the things you have to do to make it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers.

You've probably got different versions. Make sure you're both patched up.

But do you both have the same one. IIRC theres two, the one with January transfers and the one without unsure.gif
'Steve
Both of us have the 6.0.3 patch with 'data'. Well I presume he has the one with data because I just got the new patch yesterday and he told me to download that one. My new patch has all the January transfers so I guess thats the one with the 'data'.
1andymclaren
This ain't really much help but have you tried to start the network game yourself and tell him to join instead of vice versa?

Or am i just being stupid?

Might be something to do with the graphics in your game, e.g. have different kits to him, causing you and your mates config files to crash.

Yes, he's getting the same message as I was.

That came across my mind as well, but if I was joining HIS game surely it would just his graphics (ie logos, kits) that would apply and my files would have nothing to do with it? unsure.gif
Dunc
The thing with logo's is irrelevant.

You see the ones on your PC, regardless of who's hosting.

Dunc's right. In our game I can't see any of his logos.
