It took me about half an hour to set up training with the constant continuing going on. That was a real drag.

Also, could somebody give a suggestion how to avoid the screen change after each continue. I would be altering training, and then a continue would happen, and then I would go back to the manager default screeen. By the time I worked my way back it was almost time for another continue. Thankfully that's done. I'd imagine that issue is unavoidable. I'll be happy when we are well on our way so there isn't so much to do. Starting an FM game (even SP) is always a drag for me.

that is why I thought it would be a good idea to have a session with no continuing, say on Wednesday, where people could look things over, set their lineup, really scout their team or other players.

CW? anyone?

Coffee Warlord · 09-05-2006, 08:47 AM

I concur with this message.

One day before Sunday, I shall turn it on when I get home from work, and leave it up for a few hours. No continues possible and all that jive.

Desnudo · 09-05-2006, 09:50 AM

How far into the season did the game get?

Butter · 09-05-2006, 09:52 AM

About a week.

FrogMan · 09-05-2006, 09:53 AM

into the season???

Well, let's just say we made it to July 16, so some played a friendly while some, me in them, still have not played one...

FM

Vinatieri for Prez · 09-05-2006, 05:52 PM

What about avoiding the screen change after a continue. Any solution there?

ausonny · 09-05-2006, 11:44 PM

I don't think there is.

this is from the Football Manager 2007 blog:

Quote:

For those who play network games, theres been some optimisation made to make the experience easier, also the addition of screen remembering, which means that having the "continue game timeout" option which stops you from being kicked out of making transfer bids and return to screens that you dont want to be on.

So I assume they have noticed the problem, that no it's not possible to correct it in 2006 but will be for 2007...

Ramzavail · 09-06-2006, 09:40 AM

well thats good news at least.

it was pissing me off alot sunday. doing transfers, racing against the countdown clock.

That sucks.

SirFozzie · 09-08-2006, 01:42 PM

So we still on for 8 Sunday Eastern?

Coffee Warlord · 09-08-2006, 01:44 PM

We are. (8 central, rather)

I'm HOPEFULLY gonna turn it on either early sunday or tomorrow for awhile. It's been very hectic the last few days, and I haven't really been home to give everyone a "non continue" day.

Also, will it be possible to open up the server so we can do some of what we talked about?

FM

FrogMan · 09-08-2006, 01:46 PM

dola, ignore the second part of my previous post. The 8 vs 9 question still stands though...

Ramzavail · 09-10-2006, 11:57 AM

Unfortuately, I dont think I can make it tonight.

I have a birthday party in NJ and trying to get home from NJ after 830 passing the Meadowlands = TRAFFIC.

Sucks.

Vinatieri for Prez · 09-10-2006, 12:01 PM

I won't be here either.

SirFozzie · 09-10-2006, 12:12 PM

I'll be there.

MJ4H · 09-10-2006, 12:25 PM

Me too, been looking forward to it all week.

vex · 09-10-2006, 02:08 PM

I'm 95% sure I'll be here.

Coffee Warlord · 09-10-2006, 03:10 PM

I'll flip it on (with no continue) at halftime of the Bears game.

Katon · 09-10-2006, 03:17 PM

I'll be here, though I might get slightly less talkative around ten or so.

ausonny · 09-10-2006, 03:32 PM

I'll be here this week, but I'll be out of town next week.

Mike1409 · 09-10-2006, 03:52 PM

I'm enforcing the 10pm shutdown tonight anyway, so no big deal.

SirFozzie · 09-10-2006, 04:22 PM

CW, if we're only going to be up for 2 hours, could we open earlier next time?

Well, I'm on eastern time. Still shouldn't be a huge problem, since I've got my training and tactics pretty well set up.

Coffee Warlord · 09-10-2006, 04:38 PM

We're up.

Agreed. Two hrs isn't very long.

ausonny · 09-10-2006, 07:05 PM

I agree as well

Fouts · 09-10-2006, 07:17 PM

Might not make it, unless I am done with poker.

SirFozzie · 09-10-2006, 07:51 PM

10 minutes. Get in, biznatches

Ramzavail · 09-10-2006, 10:30 PM

is it over?

vex · 09-10-2006, 10:35 PM

Yep, quick 2 hr session

Ramzavail · 09-10-2006, 10:42 PM

any chance we could do it during MNF?

Passacaglia · 09-11-2006, 09:31 AM

Hey guys...I better step down....that time just doesn't work for me as well. Sorry!

Same here.

SirFozzie · 09-11-2006, 12:50 PM

I get home around 8:30 Eastern but would be available then

ausonny · 09-11-2006, 01:03 PM

I would be available

Katon · 09-11-2006, 02:04 PM

I don't get home til 9:45-10 eastern, but I'm available after that.

ausonny · 09-11-2006, 02:36 PM

We maybe shoudn't do it this week however on such short notice, as a lot of the guys won't know about it.

SirFozzie · 09-17-2006, 06:48 PM

Hello, anyone?

SirFozzie · 09-17-2006, 07:31 PM

Katon · 09-17-2006, 07:44 PM

Yay Good news:

Coffee Warlord · 09-17-2006, 07:56 PM

We're up.

Vinatieri for Prez · 09-17-2006, 08:35 PM

Ah, gotta sign off. Being out west, this goes from 6:00-8:00 and just doesn't work in my schedule. So, I'll have to give up the team. Anyone who wants Notts Forest, it's yours. Should be desirable, they have the best budget but the highest expectations.

How do you guys want it done. Should I quit as manager?

ausonny · 09-24-2006, 07:47 PM

Are we playing this week?
