TopGun Posted 12 January, 2009 Share Posted 12 January, 2009 Five seasons and 18 months into the game and I have won my division 6 title. W00t!

jeff leopard Posted 28 January, 2009 Share Posted 28 January, 2009 oh lordy I've played two games so far, lost a friendly 9-0 so I went about looking to tightened things up and get players in their strongest positions. I then played a cup match and the improvement was considerable, we lost 8-0. Whats the deal with transfers? I put bids in, it says the deadline is at 18.00 today, 18.00 comes along and the deadline has moved back 5 minutes. This keeps happening until I'm priced out of the transfer. What gives?

TopGun Posted 2 February, 2009 Author Share Posted 2 February, 2009 sack the board! how financially prudent should i be? my heart says buy a decent keeper and bite some debt. Is it -£300,000ish before you go bust? Keepers are the easiest to train up. On average if you set training for goalkeepers the TSI will increase by 500 each week. Keepers by TSI are cheaper than other players for that reason. I would spend maybe £60,000 on one of about 2,000 TSI and train him up from there. I've never gone into debt so not sure how hard it is to get out but I know loads of people give up because they are in debt having spent poorly as novices. They expect it to be like FM where you buy a player and suddenly it's all brilliant. The thing to remember is you are playing real people, not a computer.

jeff leopard Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 Stare into my wild eyes and laugh at my gay microphone for I am Hattrick's Phil Brown! Kind of. My first first season is going much better than expected, my fans feared a dour relegation struggle and yet after four games I'm second in the league with a 100% record! Admittedly it’s a rubbish league with lots of bot-teams and human sides in a Saints-like states of decline. My first three games were against bot-teams which got the ball rolling and settled everyone down nicely. Yesterday's game was against a human team and I was genuinly surprised that I gave them a semi-spanking (4-0). There was a really bad tempered end to the game with a flurry of bookings and bad injuries, which I found hilarious. This was the first time I set tactics, using my wingers to attack!attack!attack! My next game is a top of the table clash against the side that has thumped everyone so far 8 or 9 nil. So if I can keep it respectable then I'll be happy, although it could be time that my side are brought down to earth with a bump. But at the moment, my fans are dancing in the streets (as opposed to marching ) I'm guessing that we can't make changes during a game unless we state them before kick-off? It seems a bit strange but maybe it needs to be like this to ensure all the games finish at the same time. If anyone wants to give me a friendly then I'm the sinistry of mound fc, come down to our fortress, the kiss-my-face areana. And if anyone has a striker and right back who they don't need anymore, and who would have a field day down in league 7, we should do some shady deal (like put them up for sale late at night) so I can pick them up nice and cheap You can have some of my youngsters to do whatever you like with them.

He seemed to have a good game so I'm definately still up for having a go at signing him. Cheers for an intersting game, bookended by a dodgy penalty each. After being 3 down after less than 20 minutes I feared a 0-9 drubbing so to come out at 1-5 was something of a relief. My players actually finished with some pretty good ratings although they were clearly out-classed. The only disappointment was the low turn out, 350 punters. Oh well, onwards and upwards.

TopGun Posted 1 March, 2009 Author Share Posted 1 March, 2009 The most common shady dealing comes when somebody runs two or more teams simultaneously and spends £500000 on a crock of crap from the other team thus raising funds for the team he wants to actually use. It's pretty obvious when it happens though and dodgy transfers can be reported. Then the person involved is banned and the teams become bots.
