Ugh. My South Africa lost 3-2 (3-0 until injury time) away to the bottom team (Egypt), and then in the must-win game away to Tunisia, the top team (we're 2nd), went 1-0 up then lost 2-0. ****in' chokers, can't play for **** away from home. Thought about resigning with 2 games to go, especially as many of the good players are 30+, but the African Nations is half a year away, so may as well stay, at least until a better job comes up.

Luxembourg was a little bit tempting though.

Help!

One day I loaded my game and it said it could not find the database and would use the default one or something. I carried on as normal. Soon realised that the French and German clubs were named differently than I remember, wasn't sure if it was just me.

Weeks or months on, I just tried something: tried to add a new user, and Japan, Germany and the Netherlands can't be managed. The Japan job had been available before, but this would likely be before the error I got.

I deleted the inc files in all the folders (700, 701 and 702), and the club names are back, but the nations still can't be managed by a new user.

Any way to save this situation? This really sucks, it's like I've been cheated by the computer. :frown:


Fixed! You have to open the relevant files and change the 1s to 0s where it's talking about national teams. This is a way for you to manage the previously blocked nations without having to start a new game. Hadn't heard of the technique before.

Hey. I have already asked if anyone would be interested in a summer online game, no-one appears to be interested...but I was! :biggrin:

If you can find some others that would like to do it, sure I'd be happy to join in! :h:


Depends on hours I need to commit to... but I'm happy to give it a go :biggrin:

I imagine that would be fine, seeing as we probably won't play EVERY night and the game can continue regardless anyway, if you left some good tactics, say.

The mod hasn't replied to me yet, I think I might just carry on and make the thread in a bit.
Does anyone know any cheap forwards and DM's for about a million? In my everton save (just got the game after exams were done) i'm in January, and 9th in the table after i went on a 9 game winless streak. My team lines up like this:

Howard
Bellusci Heitinga Jagielka Baines
Wanyama Gibson
Osman
Barkley/Coleman Pienaar
Jelavic

Had to sell Fellaini (£24 million to PSG) and Mirallas (£6 million to Reading) so need some improvements. Any help?

Just some ideas...
Nicklas Helenius
Roysten Drenthe
Spas Delev
Oscar Hiljemark

I have the last 3 on my AZ save, who aren't too far off Everton's standard.
Problem with Drenthe, as you may know, is his attitude, watch him, but when he's in a good mood he'll win you the game single-handedly...how realistic too! :biggrin:

Reading in 5th
Norwich in 6th
Man United in 4th

Mcdermott then proceeded to resign from Reading to sign for Fulham (15th placed Fulham) :lolwut:

Reading and norwich have good strike forces thats why :biggrin:.

Speaking of which, if you need a brave grant holt type player look at Pierre-Michel Lasogga, he goes for cheap and is so effective.

What a Confederations Cup that was. England finally host the World Cup again, in 2030 (and thus 2029 Confed. Cup), but have the luck of it being the worst England side in history. They didn't qualify for the last World Cup, and in the last Euros they were knocked out after 3-0s and 4-0s at the group stage against Sweden, Northern Ireland and someone else.

To top it off they drew the group of death in the Confed. Cup.

First match was against Australia, lost 3-1 (at home as well, remember). Then in the next match against the European champions (Poland), they battered them 5-0! :eek: Da*** did that come from?! Then England faced the world champs (Austria), needing a win, or a draw and help in the other fixture. They drew 2-2 and qualified to face Group B and Copa America winners Argentina. Lost 1-0. In the 3rd place Playoff against Gold Cup winners Mexico, they drew 3-3. Of course, they lost on penalties without scoring a single one. Austria won the whole thing I think.

Perhaps there is hope for a good campaign after all.

On the iPod it's crap, on a PC it's the most addictive game I play.
Just had Everton only survive on goal difference following Moyes leaving! Doesn't bode well for them..

Chamakh also finished top goal scorer whilst on loan at West Ham and got a move to Liverpool!

Only on FM!
