Wasn't your imagination...I've seen the same commentary. If it affected their morale, it was pretty minor (like from Superb to Very Good). |

Yep, under those circumstances you probably wouldn't get it. The times I remember it happening I was up by 4 or 5 goals at half time and was looking to get some experience for a youngster, so I'd pull someone who was still relatively fresh and had put up very good numbers in the first half. I only saw it a few times over the last few versions (and I don't know if it's still in the game or not). |

DaddyTorgo dropped it off, and I am now impatiently waiting for the patch to finish, then off I go! Wonder how my section of the data worked out.. (I was one of the MLS mini-researchers, so if you think the Revs are too powerful, you can always blame me )

dear God 35 nations!!! All on normal or is that including those on basic? If all on normal, may I ask what kind of beast you're running this thing on? I mean I know you'll only be coming for air in what, 7 weeks, but still, an answer would be cool FM

More like a game every 15-20 minutes, but that's cool.
I accidentally started with USA time frame (Feb05, but that's ok, I'll manage till July 05 with New England, then add a big name Foreign team)

that's pretty fast, although you got a better processor than I do and three times as much RAM as I do, heh
When you say a game every 15-20 minutes, that's a game of your team? FM

Yup, I'll play 3-4 weeks an hour once I get going (right now, I'm posting to the Dynasties forum, so that's slowing me down. )

Also word of warning - subbing goalies is a good way to destroy their confidence ... this happens very very rarely irl unless they're injured for just this reason. |

Out of curiosity, does this apply in friendlies? I've often swapped keepers at halftime or thereabouts in the preseason to get them both into form. |

No, Friendlies are exhibition games so the goalie expects it.

BTW, anyone see the picture of the PSP version of FM2006?
Guh. I might have to buy a PSP just for that, looks so sweet.

What does running a league on "Basic" mean?

On the other hand, if he keeps playing and playing well, then his value might double or triple to the offer you all ready have, so if you sell now you miss out. Of course, if you don't sell now and if he is ambitious, then he might want to leave anyway, cause now he's too good for the club. Or he might demand wages out of your budget, and you'll have to try to sell him for cheap before his contract expires. A billion things could happen. So what should you do? You're the manager, that's up to you |

From Marc:
Also bear in mind that FM2006 introduces the concept of a 'basic' modelling level for a league, this is much faster than a normal or full detail league - however it doesn't actively retain players from that league so only the bigger clubs will be fully populated ... You do however in this mode get to see league tables etc. for the league in question.

Can you later manager team(s) in "Basic" leagues? Can you switch them to normal or full detail at a later point?

had problems so far getting the game to start more than once (bad sectors on the HD maybe?). I think I've finally got that licked now though and am looking forward to firing this puppy up!

I haven't finished catching up with this thread yet, but I've seen players in either CM 03/04 or FM 05 get pissed off for being taken out, particularly if they were close to their hattrick. I remember when I had one mercurial player (can't remember which one) he would routinely become quite angry at me for taking him out in the 2nd half.

Thanks to all your guys!! Your help is greatly appreciated. I am determined to get into FM one way or another. More questions will follow I'm sure. Marc, I was pulling goalies like I would a hockey goalie... whoops! I am undefeated though, so hey.. Allow two easy goals and your getting replaced! I pulled this striker from my reserve squad and the guy has been unreal so far for me.. now, a team wants him.. so I think I'll hold on to him for now. |

Yeah, I love the Aurora skins; before I got them I didn't really think a skin could add that much to a gaming experience, but these days I find playing FM without Aurora pretty much unthinkable.

I like my silverstone skin for FM2005, but I think Aurora will be the one for FM2006, at least at first...

I still replace goalies when I don't like their performance. Fortunately for them, in Belgium, you can only dress 4 subs so I usually don't have a goalie on the bench. But I definitely have a very tight string when it comes to not starting a goalie if he has an average game or worse (doesn't hurt that I have two legit #1's, a young guy who's playing well in limited chances, and a teenager who is tearing up the reserves -- <0.50 GAA).

BTW, does anyone start the game unemployed? I did this for the FM2006 demo and picked up a team pretty quickly. We kicked some butt during the 6 months even though all the game previews said we had no chance. I didn't understand why they said we suck, and then preceded to slaughter everyone.
Either the press was way off, or the game let me win to get me to buy it. I am dying to get my hands on this game. One thing I enjoyed was the home page, ton of team info there. I hope the next version of EHM has that. |

add a manager, managing a big name team, that is.. (Since from February to july, they literally have nothing to do, if you start the game in Feb05)
FM2006 is a LOT faster then 05.

yes, you can have multiple managers (The demo only allows 1).. but you can play games with multiple managers either over the net, or just on one computer.
For example, DaddyTorgo and I are going to be doing a net game as the Old Firm in the next few weeks.

Old Firm loving scum! My Hearts team is about to break their hold on the SPL (Celtic just fired O'Neill and are in 5th - Hearts havent lost a game in 30 and are in Champions League QF, but still goddamn second to Rangers)

Heh - thats exactly what I've done ... we'll be getting some test UMD's in the near(ish) future for the game (prior to that we have to play on 'test-kits' and PC based emulation versions) and I've made a point of purchasing a PSP so I can play on the train on a PSP once we've got them in (if you're interested I picked up a Japanese PSP from Ebay for £120 which wasn't bad (around 60% of retail price in UK). |

All versions of CM/FM since CM3 have had network games. (if you didn't realise you can mix and match the two, for instance have a network game on 2 PC's in different locations and have 3 managers on each PC's for a total of six managers in the game etc.) |

I don't have FM 2006, but my typical start is unemployed, then wait for the first vacancy in conference north/south.
