i didnt have any noticable problems with FM08 so far until i noticed about an hour ago a team offered a bid for one of my players that met the minimum release clause yet i was able to reject it.

so i hope its fixed now with the patch.

Just started a new game with Stirling, and they've not fixed the biggest bug of all

Derek Lilley's still able to score for the Albion. C'mon, it's supposed to be realistic

Will this patch work with a downloaded FM08?

i can't get the link to work gaz

As in the digital download or as in a torrent copy

I've noticed no difference after downloading that patch.

The commentary still doesn't match whats happening on field and although this time I could continue after the game was over I couldn't give a team talk after it so despite beating Inverurie 9-1 the team all hate me for not giving them enough credit.

On the plus side this time the board have given me an extra 700 pound a week to spend on wages. There's no point though if I can't do matches properly

Did you start a new game or continue one?

Start a new one

i dont like the patch. without it chelsea have £110 million and £30 million transfer budget now with the patch i have £20 million with a £30million budget.

why SI decided to cut chelsea's money by aroung £90million i will never know.

Cause £110 million is unrealistic, would you give Grant that much money to spend

Because it's no fun going a team that has a massive transfer budget?

That's worrying then I've yet to have any major problems but I'm worried as soon I really get into a game then it's going to f**k up

Hmm, Rather odd expectations for me... Was 5k under my wage budget last season (at the end), and the board raised it... now they are happy that I am so under my bidget... :S

also reached the semifinal of the league cup, and the final of the scottish... now the expectations is only to reach the QFs...

Pity they can't say "we expect youi to progress in the cups until you play the OF team, when we expect you to get raped with your trousers on....

Just tried my saved game again and this time it seems to be ok, so now I can finally get fired into this game

The amount of disallowed goals is still higher than it should be. I had three in one pre-season game.

Its unreal, I have also missed about 30 penalties. My team have also conceded about 20 last ten minute goals!

The Premiership facepacks I found on that FM site are quite cool

Torrent copy,but it's OK as it updated fine and the games playing fine.

If you're playing as Queens thats scarily realistic

Very true. I average a goal disallowed every three games. Two in one match for me and one for the pc controlled team. I was not happy.

should be right now

lemmy know if theres any problems

I'd just like to point out that my comments about Lilley on the Albion forum and his attributes are in now way related. Left his stats as they were from the previous researcher. He'll be fixed for the first data patch (including making him part-time). Also, McKenna should be a SC not an AM/FC (no idea how that happened), Tomana should be right footed and I've not had a chance yet to alter Ross Harris' attributes. There's a couple of under-19s missing (which I'd asked to be added but weren't), most notably Liam Corr. Give me a shout if you think anything else needs changing.

Should also mention that the remaining wage budget in the game isn't what I had entered. I'd set it as zero but in the game you're being given £6k a week, which is ridiculous. It seems it was a bug with how the database figures were being used in the game but the beta patch doesn't seem to have solved it.

Mark McNally says Andy Graham is the weak link in our defence in the game. Obviosuly Craig Reid's agent has had a hand in that too

Also, no matter how much money I offer Trigger to come back, he always signs for Bathgate. Well, twice now.

McNally's probably just wanting a game. Didn't get a chance to edit Reid or Easton either and, with them being SPL players, their current ability levels are probably the highest in the squad.

Trigger probably shouldn't be in the game. He's retired now, hasn't he?

Nearly £9k a week in my game, and is sitting at £6.7k just now with no signings made. William Easton is on £800 a week. Can't imagine McKenzie agreeing to that.




Think so aye, but he's still there.

Trying to get the remaining wage budget fixed for the patch. It's set correctly in the database. What does it say in Easton's profile about what percentage of his wages are being paid by Stirling?

Pretty sure I'd said Trigger had retired when we were having a clear up of unattached players.

Took Rangers to the CL group stages by battering Sherrif and edging out Fenerbache 4-3.
Unbeaten in the SPL, only game not won was away to ICT on the opening game drawn 1-1.
Celtic signed some dutch guy for 6.5million.

433 at home and a 4231 when away. Working a treat so far.

Roberto Carlos scored a bizare goal from his own half into me Punt from Macgregor and he sort of stood still with the ball and punted it back the way it came and bounced in c**t.

Dont 0's in the FM database tell it to randomly assign a value?

We're paying all of the £800.

EDIT - We're paying none of Craig Reid's wages though.

That should have been set by the Dundee Utd researcher. Chances are he'll be back at Dundee Utd before I get a chance to sort that.


For player attributes, yes. For finances, no. It's actually set as -1 anyway.

Just signed Robbie Foy as a 'key player' who McNally thinks will be a 'quality' signing.

Wage = £50 a week

Nicky Walker at £250 a week may be getting punted now!

Seems like there have been an awful lot of problems....is it still worth buying the game??

Right now, it's only really worth buying if you're a fan of the series and you want all the latest squad lists, etc.

What a result, easily my most impressive so far

Anyone else patched and it's always pishing it down?

After a good preseason, lost 2-1 at Dunfermline in the league opener, with Jim Hamilton scoring a late winner.

Which is exactly what happened when we played there for real earlier in the season. Spooky.

Yes! My pitch has been waterlogged (when the pitch goes partially blue) twice during the pre-season.

i was going to say the same. my pitch has been practically blue for about 4 games so far.

Ta. Yes and yes really so I bought it tonight

Yeah me also, and somehow contributed to my goalie and central defender colliding on a through ball which got held up in the damp and needing treatment and eventually subbed

I hope someone has told SI that in Scotland, like Finland, it doesn't always rain.

Still seem to be far too many disallowed goals. Just scored four times in a ten minute second half period - only one goal counted

Funny how the computer teams seem to have less than half the number of goals chopped off

Now, I'm happy with this sponsorship deal obviously. Realistic though? f**k's sake

52 year deal

Maybe it is going along the lines of Olaf getting into Government with the Conservatives and raping the wealth of a small, South American country, through crippling loans, that they don't need, therefore being able to re-route some of the profit Falkirk's way.

please tell me you dont have the patch ruggy.

I do - I had to put the patch on because the fixtures didn't generate for my third season.

The patch has fucked up as many things as it has fixed!

Mine just arrived, check the photo of greg fleming
