Anyone playing it?

I have decided to take it well seriously this time, and I am Tranmere too, so looking at rising from the depths here.

I was for a time, but my need to cheat got the better of me. I managed to win the League and FA Cup in my 2nd season with Everton, which considering the unlimited funds i had to spend wasnt hard. I also got to the CL QF, after finishing 4th and winning the UEFA cup in my 1st season.

Juan Roman Riquelme is an utter GOD in the game tho, he scores with every free kick and he ran the show for me. But Zlatan Imbrgoal scored something like 40 goals, he is class also. Im using the old patch tho, not the updated 1, because i dont have a crack for the new patch. I may start another game at some point, but ive got too cheat, i cant be Everton with £1m transfer budget and i couldnt be any other team.

 

[Blue Lou]

I would love it if Darijo Srna signed for us in real life.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Ok, anyone playing it with the real version and not the cracked one, and also without cheating.

The thing that strikes me about the game is the amount of players from Eastern Europe that are emerging. Lots of good young slovaks and serbians and we all know about the Croats, i think that could be the next big hot bed of football talent.

I know its only a game, but it is quite amazing the amount of young talent it spots very early. Players like Messi and Anderson have been given amazing stats even when they where unknowns. The list is endless tho.

Everton apparently use it as a scouting tool, as do other clubs I believe.

Yea i know, if only Davey had my cheats, we would be amazing, we could sign all the wonderkids.

Well I am playing it right and the way it should be played, no money is no object thing. Trying to build a young side using the attributes etc. Spent many a version with all the money I could use to buy a super team. Gets boring after a while.

 

[McBain]

Im smashing this game all over the place.

Ive figured out how to make Facepacks, and am currently creating the local league I play in as an actual playable league with the real players.

Im addicted to the editor.

Yes, thats why im bored with it.. But in my eyes the whole point of the game is to have your favourite players in your team.

Your playing with just 50% of the games capabilities. You want to play with the training schedules, tactics, developing young talent.

i'm 4th in december with 37 pts. didn't sign anyone. playing rodwell kissock and gosling in midfield with arteta, vaughan is on fire upront 12 goals in all comps, sold yobo for 7mil to valencia. might buy someone in january window. it's alot easier to use your tactics now you can actually see what the players are doing.

 

[coyney]

what is better on it than last years? in other words is it worth getting it as I have last years.

 

[McBain]

Its 3D this year which is a pretty good feature, and there's some general improvements.
