Why oh why... I don't know if it's just me but I never do good with Town on FM games, infact I never do good with any team. Best I have done with Town was last years game when I got relegated from League 1 down to League 2 then the season after that I just survived relegation and I still never got sacked! I then ended up losing the game  Right now I'm 20th.. Lost 2 and Drawn 1 after 3 games. Went out of the League Cup in 1st round against Crew and I'm playing Leeds in JPT's 1st round. Also when does DH take over the club on FM? I dont have your patience, if im doing that bad i usually just pack it in or download a tactic that actually works. Dont you get fed up of losing every game? lol No I'm forever trying to figure out why I'm doing so badly  |

Just put most of your players on a universal mentality to get you looking more solid for a start. Maybe have your strikers and your defensive midfielder (if you have one) on an individual mentality. Use creative freedom as your guide to who is attacking and defending (not mentality) Try and have five going forward and five defending. Have the five you want to defend on low creative freedom and the 5 you want to attack on somewhere between notch 12 and 17. Should be a start but im no jose mourinho so dont come track me down if you get sacked. |

With the town players i'd set creative freedom pretty low except for maybe Roberts.
It's not linked to creativity confusingly, it relates to how often the player will ignore your tactics and make their own decisions. And on FM town's players aren't smart enough to think for themselves ;D

Right thought i would try and look at what you think now i got a bit of time i will answer some of your question and queries. Hi mate, good on you for posting in this thread. To be fair from the quick look ive had I think the stats are looking spot on although i thought that Butler should be made a tad slower and like I said Roberts technique upping to about 15. Also id make sure that Smithies has very good potential as you've got to think he has a decent future in front of him if he's getting in the u19's. Good work though. Right with Butler the pace has been set by the Scunthorpe researcher as i had to have the completed info in before i had chance to see him play properly but will have a look and see what i think. Smithies i have set him with a higher PA so he should get good with coaching as his PA is -7. Huddswarrior have a look at this link and see if there is any help in here for your problem. . sigames.com/ showthread. php?t=56232 The demo desent have an editor but as far as i am aware the full release does have the editor in it. I will have a look at all the things you suggested and see what i can do for the update. But if you have anny info for me the please dont hesitate to contact me as all inof will only help the game to be more realistic for us all. Oh yes and the Cheltenham rivelry i will have to blame john the previous researcher as he has an underlying hatered for them. Sorry John i couldnt resist but blame you for that one!!!! |

Butler's pace is a bit silly imho, he should be quite a bit slower. Other than that, good effort!

I started a career tonight ... told the board I'd win the league ...  I've signed Robbie Fowler on a 3 month loan, with the option of an 85k permanent. I've signed Jermaine Easter for 300k ... and I'm now after a left winger. Playing a 3-3-2-2 ... Clarke, Lucketti, Butler ... Worthington, Flynn, Goodwin ... Kamara, Roberts Fowler, Easter. I'll probably get bored and start again ... can't settle to this game yet! |

It's going from worse to worse! I have finally managed to win a game YES! but I'm still losing pretty much every game. After 11 games and I find myself in 22cnd. I was playing bottom and was lucky to even draw 0-0! They had a goal even dissalowed  I was happy thought to keeps Leeds to 0-0 going into 90 minutes with 4 minutes added on, in the JPT but as normal in the 94th minute they score! Man I got annoyed then. |

The data in the demo will be the data in the released game. But obviously Wayne can pass on the lasted information and ifwe release new data at some point then it will be included in that.

i dint but football manager for the 1st time since champ man 2.Reason for been is i dint like the subs system in the demo,and i dint really have the money to find out if there was a way of changing it(ie manual).so could someone help me and correct me if theres a way of avioding the following situation happening again: i was town, and i was 1-0 down and down to 10 men.?I decieded to bring on another stricker with 15 mins left and i selected confirm subs.Then we scored,so i wanted to cancel the subs(on previos thats when the subs screen would have some up and i would have selected back to game).however the subs went on and we lost 2-1. So how do i make it so the subs dont come on?
hope you understand this

Who's got full version now then? Started my town game on Sunday after downloading patch - Turnip and Potato gone so thats good. Put Hoyle in as chairman as I couldn't be arsed with Davy and I made Butler slower, Lucketti worse and Roberts better.
Gerry in as Assistant Manager and Mitchell promoted to first team coach!
Done a Stan so far and failed to land most of my targets, Devaney went to Wolves, Boyd to Coventry Kevin Kyle wanted 8k a week!!
Brought in Marcus Williams (LB) from Scunny for 450k and that Demontengac (LW) bloke from Walsall for 200k. Shipped out Kamara, Beckett and Williams, all for a pittence.
Playing Glenda, Holdsworth, New Williams, Butty Boy, Clarke, Roberts, Viva Jim Goodwin, Collins, Demontengac, Legend and Kieg's in a 4-4-2 at the moment, won first 3 games off to a flyer!
I even changed the supporter spokesman's name to Marcus Middleton ;D

I bought it from game,
started up with town, currently 9th after a horrid start to the season.
Signed Lambert, Demontengac, Fabio on loan from United, Ben Davies, Danny Haynes on loan with view to permanent and a few random youngsters. Also got John Ruddy on loan. Got Macclesfield as my feeder club. Sent cads, glennon, berrett and broadbent out on loan. Cads is on fire but glennons having a 'mare.
lost in the quarters of JPT to bantams.
In third round of FA Cup, got Burnley.
lost in second round of league cup.
Annoyed how leeds boss the league.

Got mine delivered at the weekend!
My current Huddersfield Town team:
----------------------Brian Murphy--------------------
Holdsworth---Butler---Carlos Tordoya--Babayaro
Roberts-----Goodwin------Mascio------Omladic
---------------Botero---------Haynes--------------
I didn't stick with too many of the current team as you can see! I favour the ridiculously good, stupidly cheap foreigner approach to FM, a very realistic one. Still got £500k left to spend, currently top after 14 games.

had a weird first season so far, think im 20 games in.
im 2nd with leeds in 3rd, i signed a fair few players, inc boyd from peterboro, collins and berrett are duin ace on mine, but only in past 10 games, im on an 8 game winning streak, i got knocked out in jpt 7-1 to leeds, i thought about quitting! but i decided to drastically change my team, i tweaked it in editor so bootroyd was my assistant. i now have discover and amazing formation 3 at the back, which includes clarke as sweeper, 2 wing backs, then 2 CMs who push forward and one AMC who push to attack (craney) then i have boothy (soometimes cads/parker/boyd) playing with an 18 y/o on load a czech player as striker. since i changed the tactic after the leeds game ive not lost, beaten leyton orient 7-1 on 2nd game of playing it....
points to note- dont by boyd hes not worth 650k that boro accepted.
i could have bought aaron mclean for same price, tyson for 175, and daryl murphy on load with 1m agreed and 250k for the loan....all 3 deals i had to end because of buying boyd.

I'm loving it. Boothy keeps mashing them into the top corner from 25 yards....
After 5 games I'm unbeaten and 3rd int he league and having beaten Wolves in Rd2 I have progressed to the 3rd round of the League cup.
I invested my early money into what I hope are decent coaches and signed an extra 4 scouts to look for young talented players.
I'm currently building up the team with decent young players who have the potential to be premiership players. I've signed:
Sam Hutchinson & Patrick Van Aanholt from Chelsea
Thomas Cruise (love that name) from Arsenal
Tommy Rowe from Stockport
Dane Massey from Shamrock Rovers - recommended.
I've also signed Keith Treacy on loan from Blackburn as well as Shelton Martis from West Brom.
Simple 442.
Glennon
Martis Lucketti Butler Unsworth
Roberts Flynn Goodwin Treacy
Parker Booth

Just picked up Robbie Fowler for £50k to replace Parker as my sub striker, who snapped both legs and is out for 2 seasons. Also if you have some spare cash, have a look at Borges at Saprissa |

Will this game be coming out on Mac? I have always tried to resist getting it in favour of having a life, but apart from last Saturday, life has been overrated of late.
