OK, so at what point can I stop re-training someone for a position? When he becomes "Accomplished" at it?

Best to keep them training on it for a while after they become accomplished - they tend to forget what they've learnt sometimes. Haven;t got a hard and fast rule for you, but unless you have some other plans, I'd just leave them on the new position for a while afterwards.

They will not get to be 'natural' at the position by definition - accomplished is as good as it gets.

[Young Drachma]

I had this semi-ridiculous goal of getting the Solomon Islands into the World Cup. I naturally had to do a bit of tinkering, because as it turns out..the team is pretty god awful. But...I made a few changes, the team still wasn't very good, but I talked to my Turkish roommate about tactics, since honestly, my understanding is rudimentary.

We managed to get to the OCE Final against Fiji and won 5-4 on aggregate.

We're still alive and we've shown up really well in friendlies against some pretty top sides, so...we'll just see what happens.

[NoSkillz]

Has it slowed down your performance?

I can't detect any difference in the processing speed. Obviously, I don't have all of those leagues running anyway but I do have 16 countries and 26 leagues running and speed isn't an issue at all.

[WSUCougar]

Stupid little question, I know, but is there a way to activate player numbers in WSM2007 so that you can select them like in previous versions?

[Ramzavail]

Last night, as the USA manager, I won the World Cup in 2010

Had a tough group, Italy, Sweden, Morocco - all top 25 teams and obviously the previous winner. We were ranked 28th.

Got lit up by Italy, but manage wins against Sweden and Morocco, and make it to the next round vs. Czech Republic, who is ranked 12th.

down 2-3 at halftime, one of my best players (playing with fake players but I have a feeling this player is actually Clint Dempsey renamed Derek Williams, still haven't figured out if when playing with fake players its MOSTLY fake players with some real player ratings and pictures sprinkled in just with fake names(ie. Dempsey and Adu) or its ALL real player ratings just with fake names..well regardless) get a red card at the 75th minute headbutting somebody Zidane style. I sub out a dman and put in a striker with a man down and tie it up at the 85th minute. Goes to overtime, and the US score 3 unanswered goals, 6-3 US.

Next we play Mali, not sure how they made it this far or what country that actually is, but they were 19th ranked, we beat them 2-0

Next, Mexico, 17th ranked, in the semis, our archnemesis, the game points out that we are 0-1-2 in our last three games including a 3-0 thrashing during qualifiers. 0-0 all the way through even though Freddie Adu aka Chad Kelly is pounding them with shots. Goes to penalties and we take it 5-4, at this point I am doing the "eagle" around my apartment.

The Finals is against Switzerland, another top 15 team, I think they were 14th, and we handle them easily 3-0.

Freddie Adu aka Chad Kelly gets the World Cup MVP and I am enshrined into the USA Hall of Fame.

Didn't play one powerhouse team, but it was interesting nonetheless, when I get home from work, I am going to check out how France, Brazil,Italy lost.

Mexico took 3rd place.

Its amazing how this game can suck you in and make you celebrate watching dots on a screen, my g/f (who was watching the State of the Union) was embarassed for me

[flere-imsaho]

So, any thoughts on patching? I'm still running 7.0 vanilla, and have a great career going that I'd hate to lose. I haven't run into any real problems, but I'd like to patch if it's thought necessary. What are people's recommendations?

[Shepp]

If you've waited this long to patch the game I would wait until the next update comes out. Now that the transfer window is closed it really could be out any day now.

The patches are backward compatible so you won't lose anything don't worry - in case of panic back up your save game first just in case, but you should be fine.

There isn't any difference between WMS2007 and FM2007 - these should be present and correct already HOWEVER please bear in mind that not all leagues have player numbers and its possible your division just simply doesn't ...

[flere-imsaho]

Thanks!

Another facet of my question was, however, whether the current latest patch still had some major outstanding issues (such as the "under-soil heating" bug I've heard about), or if they're pretty much cleared up by now.

Since I'm using fictional rosters, I'm not concerned about the data update aspect of a patch.

[Marc Vaughan]

Here's the 7.0.1 changelist so you can check if your 'favourite' bug was squashed in that patch:
http://www.sigames.com/static/changelist.txt

The 7.0.1 patch mopped up the vast majority of 'major' issues (and a lot of minor ones) - I'd always suggest running a patched version if possible ....

[flere-imsaho]

OK, I'm going to patch.

BTW, I went to sigames.com to get the patch and noticed Marc's Hints & Tips for FM2007 (PC) are out! Yay! Maybe I can stop sucking now!

[flere-imsaho]

OK, so I updated to 7.0.1, and things look good... but....

I'm using fictional rosters, but I immediately noticed that the attributes for a good number of my players (and staff) had changed. For instance, one of my strikers, who previously frustrated me with a finishing rating of 5, now has a finishing rating of 16. Woo!

But anyway, why would this happen? If I was using real rosters, I'd understand the attribute updates (even though this is 2016 and I'd expect a fair number of players to be regens), but these are fictional rosters. Surely nothing should change this way?

On a related note, my club (Oxford United - I moved from Queen's Park a few seasons ago), added about 200,000 pounds in debt with the patch, which was annoying.

[Marc Vaughan]

The balance of some in-game attributes was incorrect in the released version of the game - it didn't make the game unplayable as it was global (ie. affected both human and cpu teams equally) and was only really noticable if you knew about it and looked for it ... but it WAS something which we wanted fixed.

This means that when you patch up the game runs around and 'repairs' the balance of any players it considers to be 'wrong' for some reason - this can mean a few players jumping up in levels in some areas ...

PS> This is mentioned in the changelist I believe.

[bulletsponge]

i guess i should mention my FM 07 should arrive tomorow

OK, that definitely makes sense. That's more the answer I was hoping for, so... On this particular team, the changes to the attributes I saw certainly make logical sense, so it's all good. Thanks!

PS> This is mentioned in the changelist I believe.

Changelist = TL,DR

Say good-bye to your life - it's a great game. FM2007 has been a godsend for me for the 8+ hours I spend on a plane/waiting for a plane each week.

How many batteries do you carry around? I do not fly that much, but whenever I am at the airport I never see a electrical outlet to use.

[flere-imsaho]

My flight is usually around 4 hours (Chicago - San Francisco), and my laptop has just enough juice to make the entire flight.

When I'm waiting for the flight, I'm usually doing it in the comfort of a Business Lounge, so no trouble with outlets there. One of the "perks" of travelling so much.

[henry296]

I only wish i had my personal laptop with my instead of my work laptop. I've been stuck in Boston since last night and would love to continue my Boston Utd career, but alas I can't have FM on the work computer.

[Marc Vaughan]

How many batteries do you carry around? I do not fly that much, but whenever I am at the airport I never see a electrical outlet to use.

If like me you don't have the luxury of the business lounge then scope out around the inactive desks - there's normally an outlet plug left unguarded which you can plug into ...

(my flight back from florida after xmas was delayed for 6 hours - 2 of those saw me plugged into a mains socket after my laptop battery flaked out)

Disclaimer - no ones ever told me off for doing this, but that doesn't mean its big or clever and if you get hit with a large stick by someone from security then its at your own risk.

can anyone confirm if the "move to reserve squad until match fit" option works now?

yes it does. I use it all the time.

[tucker rocky]

If I were to purchase this today, does the download come already updated with latest patches?

[bulletsponge]

ok i have a question for Marc Vaughn.

in previous FM games you could sign non EU players to your squad if they had 170+ PA, they would get a WP after an appeal.

in my current game i had a very promising youngster get his wp turned down even though he has over 170 PA (dont ask how i know, but i know). can a player in FM07 get an exceptional athlete wp like it was in previous versions? or should i try to resign him but give him a bigger statues in the squad to get him a WP?

and 1 more question: if i have a feeder club in say another european country, can i sign someone who wont get a WP but send him to my feeder team whom doesnt have wp issues? im asking this because every time a wp gets turned down the player transaction doesnt go down and he stays at his current team.

thanks in advance

[Marc Vaughan]

Yes you can get a player because of the 'exceptional athlete' clause as irl - however the 'world' has to judge him to be an exceptional althlete so if he's wholly unknown he might not qualify despite having sufficient 'potential' behind the scenes (oh and stop cheating ).

PS> Yes of course you can use feeder club in this way (presuming thats the type of 'agreement' you have with the club) - thats one of the main reasons for clubs having them irl.

[samifan24]

IIRC, someone posted about managing a tiny nation towards the World Cup somewhere in this thread. Can someone please tell me how to gain access to manage small nations in the game? Even when I set the database to "large," I only have access to nations like England, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. Is there a way I can manage a tiny country like St. Vincent for example?

[SirFozzie]

You have to "Keep all players" from that nation, and I don't think st vincent has enough to do so even with that.

[bulletsponge]

thanks Marc. ohh and im not cheating.... no... im just scouting.. yea thats it.

btw does anyone know what countries require the fewest years to get a nationality from them? is it Holland or Belguim?

When did this last patch get released? I downloaded one back in December and when I tried to follow the link above it appeared to be the same file. Is it?

[bulletsponge]

i think there is only 1 patch out now

[dacman]

Belgium and Poland -- 2 years.

[samifan24]

Yeah, I did that already so I guess the answer is that there is no way to do so. I wonder how someone took control of a tiny country and then posted about it earlier in this thread?

[henry296]

Quick question. I loaded too many leagues and my game is bit slower than I would like. Is there anything that I can do to reverse the situation. I'm in season 5 and attached to my team. We were promoted to League 1 in the second year and just missed a playoff spot in year 4.

Also, a couple of years ago signed a nice young left back for 10,000. He played 17 games for me. In the next off season my chairman accepted on offer that was too good to pass up, about 1.2Mm. The next offseason he moved to Chelsea for 22.5MM. During the July 1st move, I got a notice about receiving 5MM. I didn't remember that there was a 20% of next sale clause. My original 10,000 turned into over 6MM. Woohoo!!

[daedalus]

Spain, I believe is also 2 years. But you should have a relatively easy time getting a feeder club in Belgium. When I was testing out the Arse in the Demo, most of the feeder applicants were clubs from Belgium.

[daedalus]

As an aside and, of course, relating very little to this thread, '06 seems to load okay in Vista. I'm still in the process of downloading the patch so I have not seen how it runs yet.

Something I had not paid attention to, though, is that my save file is at 550mb and I am about to start the '20-'21 season. Without any factual evidence to back me up and just off the top of my head, this seems to be a HUGE improvement over previous versions. I can only assume that SI has continued this impressive work with '07. Kudos folks.

When a board draw up a shortlist for feeder clubs they take into account situations and prioritise them accordingly - for instance smaller clubs are less likely to purchase foreign players and so will tend to find larger clubs from whom they can loan players, similarly if you're in a nation where work-permits at a big issue (and large enough to buy from abroad) then the board will look at ways around these problems ... (just common sense really).

You could try adjusting the detail level in the options menu, lowering how many matches are in full detail.
