First thoughts on playing as Bristol City:

General:

0 transfer budget but a little room left on wages (sounds about correct)

coaches all around 3* when training only 1 category (ok)

5 physios...? i'm assuming that maybe they classed the club doctors as physios.

Forest green as a parent club... assume typo and they were supposed to be a feeder but easy enough to cancel and ask board to look for a feeder club.

Media prediction to finish 9th...

Players: Can't work out/be bothered to attach screenshots so just highlights.

James 4* Gerkin 2.5*

Spence 3* McGivern 2* (but as cb rubbish as lb) Ribs 2.5* but listed as injury prone but all 3 good potential

Hunt 2* but wanted by other teams...

Carey 3.5* and best CB, fonts 3.5* stewart 3* tangs 2.5* wilson 2* with the last 2 having reasonable potential.

Adomah, elliot, skuse and Kilkenny 3.5* LJ 2.5* woolford 2.5* bolasie 2*

Pitman and stead 3.5* maynard 4* clarkson 2.5* Taylor 1.5* no real potential.

Reid, holloway, edwards and Jackson all reasonable 2.5*+ prospects

Starting u18 squad all naff at best 2* prospects.

Anyone else probably not worth talking about.

Will update with anything else i can think of, looks about reasonable except Mcgivern may as well be sent back as plenty of better permanent cbs at the club. Shame the Man C researcher hasn't made him the same for LB as both fonts and tangs make better lbs than him.

Aslo Maynard will sign a new contract....

Hi Guys,

The Forest Green thing was done from the Forest Green side and will be removed from the next update.

Millen's sacking and Marv's new Jamaicean heritage will be included as well.

Any feedback would be great. I know Adomah doesnt look great but does play well - though I'm not overly happy with his creativity stat.

Adomah has been immense, so has Pitman. Scored 12 and conceded 1 goal so far in my city game, going nicely :yahoo:

Guest Mr Wendall

Yeah I liked the team meetings, held one before the season started and everyone loved it bar James, who didnt care either way.

Posted

My only suggestions would be that Spence being such a good LB isn't true but i guess that's up the the WH researcher, Mcgivern as stated above (again another researcher) and maybe making Woolford a bit more useful in ML as opposed to being AML only. He is probably about the right * level but i feel despite his poor start with us he can still play left mid as well as wing.

also staff wise Challis as supposedly our main scout is awful with only 6's (i think) is that on purpose or game generated? Plus whats with all those physios?

Nothing else of note so far apart from having some crash issues on my laptop (think that's my fault not the game as it worked ok at the start)

Guest Mr Wendall

Data for in the demo will be the data used in the game - data lock was a few weeks ago but new data and adjustments will be in when the first patch is released.

Yeah Spence and McGivern were rated by their researchers but being here on a season long loan means I get to put my thoughts in going forward.

For example McGivern's crossing is far to low imo.

Challis again wasnt rated by me, but will be judged on players coming in from now on. The Physio's were the list of physio's at the club I received.

If you want rid of them they will accept termination with no costs when you become manager :)

Oh and yeah I agree with Woolford - i'll look at changing that, thats something I guess I missed.

Posted

I havnt downloaded the demo yet but will be tonight, With regards to players like McGivern is it still the option to set his new position to LB and if you play him there enough will become established there? this worked quite well in last years version for a few players.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Yeah you can retrain him to LB and playing him there will help. He's the not rated as a bad LB though - just a touch below the natuaral.

Posted

There is the option still in training to train players in the new position, not overly tried it yet.

McGivern is DC (natural) and DL (accomplished) so i don't think he needs positional retraining. However he is 2* in both those positions with a potential 4* DC and 3* DL.

I guess that's not too far wrong as a lot of people see him as central rather than left (my original comments may be wrong but i'm sure that he was a much weaker DL at the start of the game....)

Thanks though Mr. Wendall i think this is the closest i've ever seen the game to having all the correct players playing in their correct positions including youth players.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Its thanks to Bean Head for the Youth Players he went and got their positions for me, also the ones that are on twitter have been helpful to.

On a side note Miles John is off to the u17's european championships on Friday so good luck to him!

Guest Mr Wendall

Alright guys this is out today,

Known issues with the data are:

On another note the known issues are:

Forest Green as Parent club. (Forest green researcher put this in!!!)

Marvin Elliott available for Jamaica (Found out after data lock)

Millen leaving (Happened after data lock)

Albert Adomah - Not happy with his creativity stat, not sure whats happened there but will look at getting it changed for the next update.

The appointment of McInnes and Doherty was to late to go in. As was Alan Walsh leaving.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Yeah I agree with Skuse, but feel JCR has the ability, I'll have a look at his consistantsy.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Think shopto or tesco where around the £21-£23 range.

Posted

I've only played a few preseason games on the full game after more or less finishing the demo 6 months at the edge of the playoffs.

My only comment about the players was that i had bolaise, cisse and gerkin all upset by christmas for not playing enough. Gerkin and Cisse maybe but i'm not sure Bolasie should be so demanding... its probably because hes a full international in the game but hes not good enough to get a first team slot and in real life i don't think he will be demanding a transfer by christmas...

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Well he was mentioning wanting to go out on loan on twitter! Maybe its worth me lowering his reputation then, i'll keep an eye on that one.

Posted

Maybe his squad status should be hot prospect or backup rather than rotation? Not sure if that would help.

He refused to go out on loan saying he should be in the first team...

The only other thing not mentioned is i guess James should probably be only 3* on current form if Gerkin is 2.5* although i dislike making players worse ;)

Oh and maybe Wilson should be a bit better 2.5* and Carey worse 2.5* rather than being the best defender.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

The game sets the squad status based on reputation and ability so cant do much about that.

In regards to James - yeah I'll look at taking him down - though the star ratings are worked by the game, I do the /20 stats,

With Wilson you have to remember that his ratings were based on last season and he only played twice, I'll be looking to improve him for the next data update though.

Posted

Other than that and making Woolford a little more ML compatible i think its pretty close.

As i said before, closest to reality in a long time. Good work.

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Yeah admit that was an oversight on my part!

Posted

I have won the first 15 or so games without changing the team much, so either I should be City manager or our players are very over rated...

4-5-1?

Posted

Demo never worked for me, just bought the new game so hopefully that will fare better !

Posted

<br /><br /><br />

Cobblers.......

Anyone know when it's out on the iPad and if they are anygood on that format?

Not sure when it is out, but I have it on the iphone and it isn't very good on either the iphone/ipod or ipad. There isn't much to the game unfortunately. PC version if you want to play the game in depth .

Good work with the game this year.

Ive started as City and signed Frimpong on load from Arsenal and Orlandi on loan from Swansea.

ABout 8 games in, i drew the Gas in the Carling Cup first round... smashed them 4-1 :)

Fans are very happy with Frimpong signing but Orlandi has only had 1 start.

Think im around mid table. Won a couple, lost a couple and drawn a couple, lost to Port Vale in second round of Cup

I have a good home formation and not a bad line-up though due to injuries its not perfect

-------------------James

Ribiero - Fontaine - Carey - McGivern

----------------Frimpong

-------------Elliot - Kilkenny

Adomah -------------------------- Orlandi

------------------Pitman

Pitman started quite prolific but has tailed off last couple of games so Iv brought maynard in. Sold McCalister for around 80k and sold Lee Johnson for £125k

Fontaine is ball playing defender, Frimpong anchorman, Elliot Box to Box, Kilkenny playmaker

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

I usually go for Kilkenny deep lying playmaker and Skuse/Cisse as ball winning midfielders in a 4-4-2. Have Maynard as a poacher and Pitmas as a deep lying forward.

Posted

Well City start waged capped so I cleared out

Hunt

Carey

Pitman (£1.1million Shef Weds)

Stewart (who starts injured so had to wait a bit)

Clarkson

Johnson

After a few games Wigan made an offer for Admoah - after some negotiaions I let him go for £2 million

I was then left wandering whether to spend and buy in players or just shuffle everyone at the club up. Playing 4-5-1 with Pitman upfront, Back four McGiven, Fontaine, Tangs, Spence, Midfield of DM Cisse, AML Woolford, AMR Jamal (Bolaise on the bench), Elliott and Milkenny in the middle.

The team have won or drawn every match scoring at least 2 per game. City are either very over stated in the game, or the real team should have us in the Premier League :laughcont: :laughcont:

Have some money in the bank and a nice £35-40k wages per week to play with.

Guest Mr Wendall

If any of you do think particular players are over stated, can you do me a favour and let me know specifically which stat your refering to.

Also would be decent giving a reason why and a few comparisons with other players, as you can appreciate all this stuff is very subjective.

Any idea when the first patch is out mate?

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Think there is a small one that automatically updates as soon as you active the game, no idea when one with a data update is coming.

Cool, thanks for your reply.

Piss poor, you should. :disapointed2se:

Posted

Never play the current version until the 2nd patch comes out.

Started the demo with City, board not offering anything (they allow very few new staff, no parent club etc, etc). :(

Lost Maynard for 6 weeks and Adomah for 8 weeks in the 2nd pre season friendly!! Ouch!

you think thats bad, 2nd pre season game i just lost Maynard for 9-10 months!!

however think i may have just tied him down to a 3 year extension

Posted

The game is so unrealistic Maynard signed a contract extension

He would sign an extension in FM11, 8k per week but you have to give him a 500k SOF. :(

But then it would cost you at least 500k to replace him.

BCAGFC

Posted

he agreed to 9k per week with 100k sign on fee for him and his agent, not bad overall, just hope he comes back quicker than predicted

Posted

he's on 11.75k for me, but he's worth it. He got 20 goals in 26 league games atm, could've sold him in January for 3.2m + a 20% sell on clause

Don't make me miss not having Maynard in my team :(

Now Pitman is injured for 2 months, he was my top scorer :badmood:

Posted

Where's the best place to get it from?

I got mine directly from steam for £29.99, probs cheaper in stores but it's too cold for me to go down so i opted against going to a store

Posted

Michel Salgado is so unbelievable overrated!! He's got like 16+ on 70% of his stats and an average rating of 7.55 in the prem after 20 games.

I got a scout report on him (I'm city) and he was rated 5*s. :laugh:

Posted

I decided I wasn't going to do a BCFC save this time, and my Northampton save went so dreadfully I decided to begin my "Career" save.

Started as an unemployed "Sunday League footballer" and waited for a job... I missed out on the Raith Rovers role and then had the straight choice between Dusiburg in the German Second Division or FC Den Bosch in the Dutch second tier.

Elected to try my hand in Germany first up, their squad looks decent enough and hopefully with a couple of additions I can start building my reputation and attract the interest of someone bigger!

What did you set your reputation as? I'm guessing proffesional or international?

Posted

end of first season finished 14th, slumped off towards the last 5 games was in 9th and pushing at play offs

Summer signings so far include, Stockdale, Joe Lewis, Jordi Gomez and Kevin Phillips

Posted

Little gem u can buy for city a player called Pablo mouche. He's 23 from Argentina and cost 150k. He's scored 15 in 13 games for me while maynard is injured for 6 months! And I can get Adomah preforming. Danny rose on loan works well also!

Posted

Can I just ask how many of you have girlfriends? And if so how do you get her to let you play it?

God I miss this game. Haven't had it since 08/09 season I think. Sounds like it had got better and better since. Might try and dig out my old 00/01 champo.

So bloody jealous!

I like the idea of that, didn't even know you could do it!!

It removes the element of control you have at the beginning!!

Did you have all leagues selected?

Guest Mr Wendall
Posted

Start the game with the leagues you want to start in - if you start with to many the game will run slowly, good thing about this version is that you can add/remove active leagues as you go through the game.

Posted

For those of you that have already played quite a few games on it can you recommend any good signings to get for city at the beginning of the game? Currently trying to get JLoyd Samuel on a free. Any one else no any good and cheap left backs?
