Waiting for the patch here as well. There's too many bugs that need fixing for a hotfix to be worth the while.

Can anybody confirm this :

When scouting i only find talents... great off course but i still need the rest to.

you find great players or wonderkids and similar? I know that is a dumb point but note that the scouts will find almost only recomendable players.

I have the legal ver. and no surprises here... all works ok.

What team are you? The better the team - the better the players recommended. I haven't bothered playing the game properly so I can't say I've noticed anything. Check their scout reports - they might be selectively bringing forward only the exceptional players and leaving you to search through the rest manually. I know I got bored of hearing about good, but not great players every other week in the past.

I'm playing Q.P.R. 4th season now. Scout results are now normal again and i don't see any other strange things anymore. The only thing i noticed is that i don't see any crowd on the stands.
Don't know if this is meant or not

Kinda strange this topic is still so empty.....
I thought the other Premier Manager topics in previous years had a lot more replies

Everybody playing Fifa manager now ?? lol

Not sure, the interest is definitely there though as if you check the statistics for STEAM it's right up there with Left 4 Dead - and it's dominating sales charts in the UK (at least).

The stadiums are textureless but the models are editable and with it people are hoping they can get static representations of spectators edited in.

I hope that we see even some new crack for this game. Does L4D have same protection as this game?

Why would you need a new crack if except holiday mode everything else seems to be working?

You won't see the triggers unless you compare this release to the retail one on one. I doubt someone has done that. Most triggers are probably very subtle but severely screw up the game in the long run.

Does the game require the DVD after activation? Can I play on two different PC's at the same time with just one bought copy?

Is there a problem with budgets in the cracked version? i've lost a million in 6 months, 45% of my bugdet while my salaries are not over budget. my other thought is that the tv money will make my team break even, should be 1-2 million i think (dutch first div), but i doubt it.

I dont know about that one.... i allways cheat a little bit ... Shocked
Also the only game where i cheat in.
Anyway , the only thing i do is sell a useless player for a lot of money and invest this in my Q.P.R. team and try to get it up and win eventually the champions league.

It is possible, yes. You don't need DVD in drive after you activate the game. You have 5 activations, so theoretically you can have it installed on 5 different computers. You just have to be carefull enough to uninstall it from computer if you decide to format it, because every time you install and activate it you lose 1 "activation".

So what if i need to install it for the sixth time? Would I need to buy a new copy of the game? Doesn't make sense really, they should have come up with a better solution. I bet it says that in the terms and conditions.

So five of your PC's will crash at the same time? Leaving you without any activation slots?

If you uninstall the game you get one activation back.

i bought this game few days ago. its still the best manager but ive encountered few problems. am i weird or it is imossible to change markers on tactics screen. i mean the player can only run forward or run back or i can set to not move him. i cant set arrows to left-right, upper-lower right-left directions.
there are some other sick mistakes. a goalkeeper of the opposing site was mvp of 2 qualifications matches. explanation was that he doesnt score a goal and he didnt save 7 shots :]

an 2d and 3d view of match loads a little 2 slow for me. in FM2008 it was loading much faster

It's not so much "run forward/back". The arrows only represent how much forward running a player should make. Arrow up means he will make a lot of forward runs, arrow back and he will stay bck most of the time (best for DC and DMC). No arrow and you give him freedom to go forward when he feels he should.

I don't like it that they removed the arrows to control player runs. I find it mighty difficult to get my wingers to cut inside now. Even my fullbacks bomb into the penalty area more than my wingers. Very Happy

There's a huge tactical tutorial, written by two gurus and approved by the SI team on the official forums. According to that guide the arrows were left out because they were misleading. The arrows just meant "run forward", with no regard to what's going on on the pitch. So if you were playing with an AMC with a arrow forward, he would just run forward the moment your defence recovered the ball, leaving his position wide open. Now that the arrows are gone, the slider for "forward runs" has practically replaced those. According to the guide the "run forward" instruction is alot more dynamic, the player will run if it's required, leaving his position open if a run is really warranted. The arrows were just static, binary in way, the player just runs when you're on the attack. Even if it means leaving a gap between the lines.

I haven't really experimented yet, but I would think playing your wingers in a 4-3-3 might have the desired effect - they do appear a little rigid in the AM R/L positions, I agree - but as I say, I've not done much experimentation and maybe the preferred move; 'cuts inside' is more noticeable now?

Was gutted when one of my players basically told me to fuck off when asked to learn a PPM lol.

LOL! Very Happy

Yeah i thought about the 4-3-3 and changed to it after starting with a straight 4-4-2. Unfortantly my wingers were still too far out to give proper support to my striker. I found that playing a central 4-2-3-1 (3 AMCs) was the best way to go to achive this. My outer AMCs started to go both inside and outside and seemed a lot more dynamic in their game. Problem is that I have too many wingers I want to play and am unsure if they will be good AMC if they have never played, or are rubbish, at that position from the start. At least I have started my experiment for my wingers to learn to play a more central role...hope it helps, cause I find the 4-2-3-1 the best tactic to use on this version of the game.

Actually, the new system is alot less powerful and fun. The great thing about the old arrow system was that you could have, pratically, one player in two positions; one for defence( i.e. the original position ), and one for attack ( i.e. where the arrow pointed ). This is no longer possible.

It depends solely on your financial situation, your crowd attendance and whether or not there is room for expansion. The latter is a pre-set by the researchers. If the stadium youa re playing on, in real life, doesn't have any room for expansion you can't expand in the game either. And it takes a shitload of cash to build a new one.

I manage to build a new stadium for a spanish 2-B division team in FM '07. I did a lot of money selling good young players to bigger teams. I hired the best scouters in the world Very Happy The original stadium had only 10.000 stands, the new one had 27.000 all seats. Sadly the new stadium couldn't expand for any single seat anymore Confused

I'm playing for the same team now and they have already expanded the stadium right after promote to 2nd division league, with room for 10000 more seats. I hope it can be expanded for more seats in the future or build a new one with at least 50.000 seats when I promote it to the 1st division.

I had a stadium built in my Arsenal save on FM07. It was even named after me and had over 110,000 seats. Smile On FM08 it was only expanded to around 90,000 I think. My Eastbourne team on 08 expanded their stadium a few times after we got into League 2 & 1. By the time we got into the Championship they built a new stadium and was expanded when we made it to the Premiership.
