Monkeh Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 no but if it isn't a vast improvement in many aspects over 2017 then I'm not boting this year, Not enough improvements are being made between versions, :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 A starting budget of £500,000 for a club with a billionaire owner known to pump money in... really?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Might download it later and have a look. Haven't got a new one since about 2014 I think, so if it's any good someone can get it for Christmas for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just installing it now, probably get a chance to play at about 8 o’clock tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I do like the visual look of the game, set out nicely, going to have a play around with the match plans as you can create tactics to be implemented for certain scenarios (scoreline, just after scoring/conceding etc). Flint, Korey and Marlon are the team leaders in the dynamics with Bailey and O'Neil considered very influential players. Bobby also appears to have a good rating a striker which is good to see.

Lrrr Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Heads up, Flint starts the game on the transfer list, not by request though so you can take him off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what its like It’s the Beta version for those that have pre-ordered the game, not sure if there’ll be a demo version out, maybe once the game is released properly in about 2 weeks time.

bricej19 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just downloading now, so will keep you updated! The budget has always frustrated me.... especially the year when we were bidding big money for Gray/Gayle... and only got a 2 million budget......

Lrrr Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I signed up to the SI forum, got the answer that our spending in the summer was taken into account for the starting budget, the implication but not certain answer being that we should have a better budget the following summer.

I was just about to say that we have to take into account that all the money we spent in the summer has already been implemented into the game so if they gave us another £5m or so it would of meant our summer budget would be in the £20m region. In affect we shouldn’t have to sign anyone because this is what LJ has gone with. I’ve noticed that O’Dowda is also on the transfer list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Will they ever re-release a online league version - I thought it was a good idea but badly implemented last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Gets worse every year. I really can't afford 40 quid on a game that barely changes year to year. Minute details. Also Miles Jacobson is an absolute tit. Stick with 17 til the winter update at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I think of a London resident who reads the guardian, has experimented with being a vegetarian and thinks there should be a second EU referendum I think of him. So touchy on Twitter.

I don’t change tactics throughout apart from bringing my subs on with about half hour to go, so it’s not like I suddenly change to all gung-ho tactics or anything.

Lrrr Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Lost 2-0 to Barnsley, 4-1 to a league one team (thankfully not THAT team) and lost 3-2 to Brum having been 2-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, just drew 1-1 at Brentford but actually managed to score a goal in the first half!! Not managed to sign anyone apart from some 16 year-old Swedish kid! I just can’t find anyone worth signing.

I'm finding anyone worth signing on loan, by the time the scout is done their report they've gone on loan somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loan players just seem to be out of my financial reach, I can’t agree the deal with the club if it’s someone who has a pedigree & should improve my team. And I’ve got to admit, I’m a little disappointed that all the press answers etc seem to be the same as previous years, I thought this was something they could of changed up easily but clearly not, it’s just the same boring questions & answers.

Lrrr Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I just about got Nkoudou from Spurs, but only after reducing the bonuses. I like the feature of the the pre game tactics talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps69 Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I guess the aim is to get through this season as best we can & then hope the club loosen the purse strings a bit (or even in January of the first season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I cannot win a game on this at all... Beat Millwall 2-1 (Was 1-0 down, they got 2 blokes sent off). I was leading v Wolves, Reading twice (once in cup), Burton, Birmingham, Bolton, Norwich and Villa and lost them all. Just gone bottom. Doesn't matter what formation/tactic/swear words I use I lose! Signed Diamond who has scored 5 free kicks. I think I'll be stopping until some cleverer people come up with some better tactics that I can use!

I’m struggling, maybe not quite as bad as yourself (yet) but it’s not going particularly well. What formation / players are you using? I’m tending to stick with 4-4-2 & not tending to mess with the players or tactics at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I reckon my main formation would be; Fielding Pisano / Flint / Baker / Bryan Pack Brownhill / Smith / Diamande Reid / Fammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find anyone with that name? You're basically playing the same team as me apart injuries meaning I need to swap players although I do tend to use a flat 4-4-2 & the fact that Magnússon has been moaning about a lack of game time so I’ve played him at left-back with Bryan moving to left-midfield & then I beat 2nd placed Bolton (yes, Bolton in 2nd place!!)

The guy who used to play for West Ham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Diamanti - would have helped if I spelt it right! I rotate Maggs for Baker and Wright for Flint. Bryan and Pisano just struggle on. I might go for a flat 4-4-2 pushing Bryan up and bringing in Leko as he did well in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
