i have a couple questions hopefully someone can help me out with.
1. do i have to download this game from SI Games website, or is it available at retail stores. 2. which retail stores 3. is there a difference between FM and WSM in terms of actual game play, and if so, which one is better (FM i assume), and how do i get it. thanks |

1. Both
2. I'm not sure. 3. They are the same game, just different packaging and names.

J-League soccer is not represented in FM2006, apparently. I was going to run a pure Asian game and see where it went, but without the J-League, it just doesn't seem worth it.

Someone made a mod that made J-League "playable". Basically, they just switched out China's league for that one. You can find it in the Editors Hideaway forum.

Nah. I want to keep the other leagues intact. I'd much rather replace a league that I will almost never have playable, or just have it as an addition with no subtractions.

so replace one of the other asian leagues. or the mexican league or something like that. you're not going to get it as an addition with no subtractions though, so it's up to YOU to decide what to subtract. |

Do games that you lose via a penalty shootout not count as an actual loss? I'm currently on this ridiculous streak w/o a loss and a game that I lost in the Carling Cup on penalty shots should be breaking up my streak, but the game seems to be recognizing that as a draw.
Is this correct?

Also, games that go to penalties are officially recorded as a draw, so they wouldn't affect your overall undefeated streak. |

Two questions:
1. This digital download version: Any idea if I can download it once and install it on two different computers (i.e. desktop and laptop)? 2. Training: Do you still need to take people off of "regular" training schedules and onto "light" ones for the summer? |

1. I don't have the digi-download, but I think you can install it 5 times -- though I might be thinking of BBCF.
2. I never do that -- during the summer, the game puts my players on holiday. |

1. yep, you do have two licenses and there is a "how to" somewhere in the thread here to license it on two separate computer 2. as Passacaglia said, the game automatically puts your players on holiday until a few days before your first friendly, unless the player has international play during the Summer...

Is there anyway to re-download/license the game if my computer crashed. My HD died and I got it replaced and I liked to be able to play the game. But, when I go to my order page, there's no option to download the game.

Ok, so I need some tactics help:
First off, I'm playing as Tours in the French National League (3rd level out of 4) in a fictional universe, and we've finished well into the top half of the table each of our first three years, but only this season did we challenge for promotion (we fellshort). Prior to last year (our third season), I purchased Pierre Hatton, who was on a 4th Division side that just got promoted. He blossomed throughout the season with me and this is what he looks like now: Overall, it seems to me that, at this level, he is a prototype box-to-box midfielder. My problem is, I've never had a midfielder like this before. I've always used an attacking guy, and a defending guy. Hatton has typically been playing in an AMC role, and he's done quite well (as shown by his stats), but I feel I'm reigning him in to much. What is a good tactic to use to exploit a box-to-box guy like this? What are good team and individual instructions to use? Thanks! ~rpi-fan

Interesting guy. His ratings are much higher than I would think you would normally find at that level of competition.
I would keep him either in the center of midfield, or 'in the hole', but maybe give him a free role? Alternatively, if he is a truly good with defensive duties as well, you could play him in a DM position, with lots of forward runs and dribbling with the ball. This probably would tire him out by the end of the year though. |

See, I played in "in the hole" most of this year and while he gave good numbers and performance, he wasn't on the ball as much as I'd like. I think I'm going to try your DM suggestion.

I agree, play him at DM, with forward runs and a high attacking mentallity but also with high pressing. When you don't have the ball he'll sit infront of your back four and close down the opposition and when you win possesion he'll bomb forward.

Alternatively, you could use him in total football-esque way and play him as an advanced ballwinner. Keep him behind the front two in the AM slot, but with hard tackling and high pressing. The idea being he can win you possesion in the opposition half and then set up quick attacks on the break. |

...and in our first friendly of the '08-09 season, Hatton in his new role, chasing a ball in the offensive half, goes down in a non-contact play with a torn calf muscle. 3-5 months. Boooo! At least he won't miss TOO much of our campaign.

Well. Here's a little "check this out" for you, SI guys.
My money grubbing whiny little bitch of a player is demanding a new contract, and states such publically. Okay, no big deal. He is underpaid anyway. We respond that we'll look into it soon. Go to offer him a contract....he informs me he is not interested in a new contract at this time. |

Coffee Warlord - Its a text error, simply put he's been underpaid for a while and now feels its best to move on rather than put up with potentially a similar situation in the future, I'll look into fixing it tomorrow.

So what qualities do you guys think is good to have for a very, very uptempo team with short passing?
I have great central midfielders and think I can run this system. Also, what formation is good for it? I am at the 3rd Division in France and think I should be able to just run other teams off the pitch with my skill in the midfield. How do I best use it?

Ah, I love this game. Just picked up Anton Ferdinand (getting beat pretty often) and Darijo Srna (looks good at times, invisible at others).
Love it. |

click on your team tactics screen, and on that screen, click and hold on the number of the player you want to sub in, drag it to the player you want to sub out, and release.

What "team tactics screen"? "Formation" is the closest thing I see to that, and there's no listing of available subs there.

Any chance that there could be a couple more features added to the player search? When I play in the lower leagues, I find it helpful to be able to search my own country's higher leagues' reserve teams to find players they might be willing to loan. Often times, the reserve players are not marked with the "LOA" tag. Any way to make a filter that can search for players by league, or whether players are on senior / reserve clubs?

I called DR and they said they would email me a new Key. Which is quite redeeming considering the bad taste I have for them anyways....
What I dont get is why would upgrading RAM cause that?

I just got off the phone with Eugene over at DR and he walked me through how to give him the Hardware fingerprint and then sent me an email with the key.... What is surprising is that the first Cust. Rep. didnt do anything about the hardware fingerprint so she couldnt have gotten me a new key. I could've been waiting forever. If you need to call Dr I reccomend asking for Eugene, he is fresh.

back on the late goal thing:
GOAL 45:30 into the ET of the first half Juventus put one in on me....so whoever said that they rarely see that, I see it a ton.

After a couple of seasons of "close but no cigar", I have led Cheltenham out of League One and into the Championship. We needed a win on the final match day of the season (and some help from QPR, so I was watching the out-of-town scoreboard), and we got a 1-0 victory. Hammertime and the boys get to take their game to another level next season, and I'm a hero in Cheltenham right now.

Goals happen late all the time. Let's assume the last 5 minutes + 2 minutes of stoppage time each game. So that means 15-20% +/- are late goals. If there are 2.5 goals per game that mean you WOULD expect a late goal every other game give or take. And what Marc said are true -- conditions favor late goals over early ones, but it's certainly not coded into the engine.
