I BELIEVE Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 As the stadium JR is way before the FM release date, if it gets the go ahead, can this be put on so we could have a moving in date to Ashton vale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wendall Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm not gonna put the stadium in until it's 100% going to be built there! That the guidelines I have from SIgames anyway (they were stung a few years ago when someone put a new Liverpool stadium in that was never built!

Admin Ian M Posted April 27, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 okey doke. not sure how the algorythms works on the game, but I would have thought it would have been left at 19500, because when we do well that is what we can get, so if you do well on the game that is what you should be getting, not basing it on one poor season. I would put Carey's injury proneness up as well, of course that is if he is still with city, maybe tweak Skuses stats slightly for his decent performances at rightback, a move of 1 level on tackling maybe. dunno, just an idea Interested to know how the algorithms work too. History shows when we are successful the crowds follow. See end of season crowds when chasing promotion/play-offs (or even avoiding relegation!) & every time we've reached a final we have taken around 40k fans. Everyone seems to agree that if we made the prem in our new stadium we'd sell out at least half the games. So why are we talking 17-19.5k max attendance? Surely this can be inputted as 40k, the low at 11k and the average around 13.5k. That way if you make a League Cup final against say Fulham, the attendance isn't just 55k when we know full well City could take 36-40k ourselves.

internetjef Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Stead needs to be bumped on determination , teamwork and workrate etc. plus i would say first touch . Although i agree Pitmans finishsing could do with a little lift, i think hes already only on about 11-12 for pace and acceleration anyway which is pretty low for a striker. I would take any negative of his work rate and teamwork instead. I think Alberts stats are about right but do agree consistency/confidence issues should try to be factored in Skuse, Elliot, Kilenny, Fonts, Tangs are all ok. Gerkin could def do with a lift in a fair few areas. Im not saying he is great or has come on leaps and bounds in his development, i just thought his ratigns have always been harsh in the first place. Maybe a little bump on Bolasie but perhaps more on potential rather than immediate stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reduced both the highest and lowest fgures so you should have seen a reduction in average attendance from previous games this time around. Has to be said this along with Finances is probably the hardest area to get right as its all very subjective and down to opinion. I mean who could possibly say what our attendance would be if we were in the Prem or Blue Sq south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcchris2016 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 About 5 years ago. I had a football manager game where a few years into the game, Liverpool moved into the 'new anfield stadium' and Portsmouth moved into the 'Spinnaker stadium' Just saying, its been done before, no one would complain.

Jordan Tansley Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Bolasie& Adomah (though he's a bit old to have it) need much better potential, with the right coaching those two should become decent lower end prem players. Skuse and Jon Stead need better determination, a very important statistic. Skuse also needs a tweak on tackling and off the ball. Stead probably wants a reduction on decisions but a massive improvement on work rate, determination and team work. He's up there with the best in the country in that regard. In line with our plans to implement the new cat 2 academy can we perhaps get an improvement on that? get fed up of producing nothing on the game...

WRERE Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I thought in the latest patch with the January updates we had too much money and this should be looked at, I think you could tweak the wages to have around £8m transfer budget and still have decent wages to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinnock Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 As some of you know I'm the Bristol City researcher for Football Manager - now the season is coming to a close I've been asked to review the data and amend player ratings were appropriate for the next football manager release. (Stars based on when you start, so for an average championship club, eg Nolan = 4.5, while Woolford is 2.5 etc) Squad = (Including loanees) Dean Gerken - 3 David James - 3, but drops to 2 quickly, possibly gone anyway Lewis Carey - 1 Ribeiro - 2.5 --> 3 (injury prone) Edwards - 2.5 --> 3.5 Foster - 3 --> 3.5 (hates big games/pressure) Spence - 2.5 --> 3.5 (Bad attitude?) McAllister - 3 --> 2.5 (quickly drops + awful at freekicks!) McGivern - 3 --> 4 Carey (Most Probably Retired, so to be made a legendary icon at the club) Fontaine - 4 Nyatanga - 3 --> 3.5 Wilson - 3 --> 4 (injuries) Amougou - 3 Keinen - 2.5 Elliott - 3 Skuse - 4 Kilkenny - 3 Cisse - 4 Bolasie - 3 --> 4 Adomah - 3.5 --> 4.5 Joe Bryan - 2.5 --> 3.5 Woolford - 2.5 Ephraim - 3 --> 4 Pearson - 3.5 Pitman - 4 Taylor - 2.5 --> 3 Stead- 4 Wood - 3 --> 4 Clarkson - 2.5 (Plus get that young Welsh kid, Joe Morrell, in the U'18s at 0.5-->4.5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnock Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Skuse RB/D/CM Wood, Pitman + Stead all unconvincing at LAM Cisse - CB/DMC Bryan - LM/LB Bolasie - LRAM Adomah - RLM/S Ephraim - RLM/S Kilkenny - DM,CM,AM McGivern - LB/CB Nyatange - CB/LB Fontaine - CB/LB/GK!!!

BCAGFC Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Gerry Gow & John Galley as legends/icons. The debt should be 20m as well IMO but that is a difficult one if it is tied up in stadium shares instead. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
