AndyClarke Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 It is also a bit easy, certainly at the higher levels. Previous versions have been relatively easy to build a top side over the course of a few seasons, but this one you can achieve results from season 1. Does anybody think that the database is part of the problem? Lots of young players at a similar potential level, none of whom are going to succeed Messi or Ronaldo but a season or 2 in you are awash with youngsters who will eclipse the entire database.

Guest Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 So, started unemployed and Luton took me on, got rid of high wages and made some money and then brought in some good young players, leading to promotion. I then left them halfway through season two (league 2) after they told me to apologise for applying for the portsmouth job, I chose to resign instead. After a period with no club (6 weeks-ish) Reading took me on, terrible finances, too many old and average players, too many on high wages. Finished first season in 10th and had already started a clear out, currently 1st and my squad is; (L) = Loan GK: Smithies, Thomson (L) DF: Jenkinson (L), Leigertwood, Nathan Baker, Derrick Williams, Skogsrud, McAusland, Morrison, Alonso. MF: Craig Gardner, Eagles, Albrighton, Bannan, Gary Gardner (L), Powell, Anderson, LuaLua, McGugan,. ST: Freeman, Prica, Delfouneso, Guidetti. Thoughts?

villa4europe Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Started season 5, lost all my pre season games (for some reason my assistant picked the cream of Europe) lost a friendly to Bosnia as england manager and lost my opening day game, next up man city in the super cup...

Guest Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Harder. Spurs just won all four trophies in the second season after winning the FA Cup and League in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I bought it for the PC a few weeks ago and after a few goes I was bored shitless. It felt like work rather than playing a game . That's how I feel, I go in feeling optimistic about building Villa into the best team in Europe but by the time I've set up training and tactics and whatever else, I just can't be bothered.

villa4europe Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 is it difficult to buy and sell players like the last one? agree that its harder, player valued at £5m will cost you over £30m and ask for around £100k a week you can still buy wonderkids on the cheap obviously but there doesnt seem a lot of new ones, most were on the jan patch of last years game, so were most of the bargains like the dinamo players biggest problem is the wonderkids from 2/3 years back (haxard, sakho etc) you have no chance of signing unless you want to break the bank i think signing cavani for the 1st time ever and him being an absolute beast is the one shining light so far for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you want to make the game realistic but there is a point. if you cant buy players or sell them just doenst make the game fun at all. i have had everyone fm manager game sice 2004 and this will the first one i wont buy. im enjoying 2011 so will stick with that me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted December 4, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 4, 2011 Started my game with en avant de guingamp in ligue 2 of the French. It is incredibly easy as there seems to be a lot of freebies with good quality who are good for the French league. Got my promotion the 1st season and again dived straight into the freebies and bought a few freebies from the English prem - kids who were nOt good enOugh for the their respective team ie. man city and chelsea - and on the 2nd season with a net net spend of minus 4m I managed to be crown ligue 1 champion this includes beating the likes of paris sg, Lyon, Lille home and away. And also got the French league cup. Now villa have sacked Michael laudrup despite him winning the league cup for villa and I was appointed villa boss on my 3rd season.... But yes now I have a good pot of money to spend it seems like it is a lot harder to spend it- although there are still a reasonable amount of freebies but the quality there is no longer enough for the English prem. very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Why do I struggle against 10 men? Battering a team, its 17 shots to me, tonnes of possession after about 40 mins, 45th min they have a player sent off and then go up the other end and score. That is then it, they are playing like they are brazil and I lose the game 1-0 no matter what I throw on. Keeps happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irreverentad Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Bought this for £19.99 at the weekend. Really enjoying it. Erick Torres and Zakaria Labyad are my 2 main signings. I lost my first 3 but I have now won 5 on the spin and confidence is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
