Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

football hasn't changed so how can the game?

Hi, it looks like you're new to computer games. Can I help you?

The biggest one being how a computer game has come nowhere near close to replicating the complexities of real world physics and tactics. Football games are miiiiillles away from being anything like real football yet.

The question is how realistic do we want to make football games? Cristiano Ronaldo can't hit the top corner 60% of the time from 30 yards but it is sure fun to do so. It is likely that the more realistic the games get the less exciting they will be.

Would be nice to not have the sprint double pressure fanbois to deal with though

We all want as a minimum completely real ball and human physics.

When will you introduce footballer adultery scandals to Football Manager, Wazz?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

For real players? Never, for rather stinkingly obvious legal reasons.

Awwww, that sucks. We could have some nice new pieces of commentary with that though:

"John Terry is having a stormer of a game, he must have left over energy after his night with Bridge's missus" etc

We're being linked more and more with Mata. Reports are that his release fee is only £13.5m. This would be the biggest bargain of the season, without a doubt. He's a special player and anything under £20m for him is astonishing value. He's at least twice the player of Henderson.

So it turns out that Neymar goal was in vain, because Flamengo won the game 5-4 despite being 3-0 down

What if it only happened to players that have actually done it in the past and regens?

Seems kind of odd that nobody has got him yet, although I don't believe those low fees tbh.

Bendtner on his way it seems, will there be anyone coming in to replace him?

No, and it's possible for newgens. We haven't done regens in many years. There's already at least one thing in there for newgens about being seen stumbling out of a club.

Bendtner on his way it seems, will there be anyone coming in to replace him?

Yeah, I don't think the release will be quite that low. I'd expect it to be closer to £20m. Not sure about Bendtner replacement, depends if we keep Cesc/Nasri, as Gervinho is a very attacking player, albeit not a central striker. But then we rarely used Bendtner in the middle, played him mostly in Gervinho's preferred advanced right position.

That Blackburn advert is unbelievable. The players must be fooking mortified!

Liverpool about to play Galatasaray. I made sure I have no plans so I can watch the new players (I'm away on holiday). And then this is the team that is selected:

Doni
Flanagan Kelly Kyrgiakos Insua
Poulsen Spearing
Degen Cole Robinson
Carroll

Will be ... fun .....

Indeed, if you can get him at that price it is a complete steal.

Anyone remember the German made football management game for the Amiga that came out in the early 90's? Name escapes me at the moment but iirc that had player scandals.

Feel pretty sorry for Blackburn and their fans, they seem to have the worst owners around.

Liverpool been battered again

Pretty much their reserve team against our F team tbh not sure why we keep playing such a weak team..

Bollocks, you have alot of recognised international out there tonight, more than enough to win against a weakened Gala. It might not even be close to your first team but that performance was just horrible. As for why they are playing, I would imagine he is trying to put some of them in the shop window to offload. Thing is, he needs to make the most of these games to get the first 11 totally fit, if not he risks a bad start to the season and more pressure.

Cannot believe he hasn't sorted that awful defence, 12 goals conceded in 4 very easy friendlies is disgusting.

 

[megadave]

C'mon Chodax who from that 11 does anyone actually rate? Flannagen, Kelly and Carroll are good prospects but unproven. Spearing too i guess, Poulson and Cole are well past it, the rest are just rubbish. No idea about Doni and Robinson.

Away to Galatasaray is never easy, especially with so many inexperienced players.

However conceding 12 goals in 4 games against shit to average opposition is pretty awful.
