Football Manager Challenge

[Matt90]

Right...something like this was done back in the olden days so here we go. I'm going to start with a simple one to see how we go.

Load a Large database and apply attribute masking with the English League down to Championship, Scots Prem, Spanish Prem, Italian Prem and French Prem. The version should be default.

Set the game to start in England July 2010. As your manager you reputation should be Automatic

Choose one of the following teams to manage and take the points from your starting total e.g. you play as Bolton -6 points....play as Blackpool -1:

• Blackpool - 1 points
• West Ham - 3 points
• Blackburn - 4 points
• Wigan - 5 points
• Birmingham - 3 points
• Bolton - 6 points

The game will play for one season the aim is essentially to finish as high in the league as possible and potentially winning or going as far as possible in the league/FA Cup.

Points are assigned as follows:

1st 40 points
2nd 38 points
3rd 36 points
4th 34 points
5th 32 points
6th 30 points
7th 28 points
8th 26 points
9th 24 points
10th 22 points
11th 20 points
12th 18 points
13th 16 points
14th 14 points
15th 12 points
16th 10 points
17th 8 points
18th 6 points
19th 4 points
20th 2 points

Failure to beat Derby's points record will result in - 5,000,000 points.

3 points will be given per round passed in the league and FA cups with a bonus 10 points for reaching either final and a further 5 points given for winning the thing. So for the FA cup the winner is eligible for 33 points (if I can add up properly)

Bonus points will also be given at certian goal scored thresholds or by having a player in the top goalscorers list...points will be taken away for loads of goals being conceded. See below:

More than 80 goals +/- 5 points
More than 90 goals +/- 7 points
More than 100 goals +/- 10 Points
More than 110 goals +/- 15 points

Bonus points of 4 per month for manager of the month awards/manager of the season is given a bonus of 10 points.

Further rules posted in due course when I think of some....who wants to play?

• Blackpool - 1 points
• West Ham - 3 points
• Blackburn - 4 points
• Wigan - 5 points

deffo im up for a game when you starting it mate.

[Matt90]

Once enough people are up for it...hopefully soon.

[StuC]

I could be tempted to play

[Matt90]

Struggling for numbers...i'll kick off once we have 5-10 people.

[nffc1991]

Count me in mate

[adam09]

In if time/dates allow for it!

[Matt90]

So in so far we have
Stuc
NFFC1991
Adam09
Me
R42

Also it should be on version 11.03 not 11.02 like it says in the main post...i'll give it a bit longer to see if anyone else fancies it.

[StuC]

I assume you really mean 11.3 ? i don't have 11.02 or 11.03

[Matt90]

Yea that one...

[klinsi]

Count me in.

[nffc1991]

Also it should be on version 11.03 not 11.02 like it says in the main post...i'll give it a bit longer to see if anyone else fancies it.

I play on 11.1, tried playing with .2 & .3 but for some reason it really slows down and overheats my laptop more?

[klinsi]

Set the game to start in England July 2011.

July 2010, of course?

Edit: one more thing, when choosing the leagues you propose, I can't be an ex-Sunday League Player... Past experience can be chosen only from professional/international (or automatic).

[Matt90]

Hmmm...Reputation should be automatic and looks like we will have to use 11.1.

This isn't going too well.

[nffc1991]

If everyone prefers to use .2/3 then do that. I'll still do the challenge using .1

[MAC]

this wont benefit me as my immediet gameplan with more than one season in mind would be to simply invest in a blackpool team capable of pissing the championship second year..


excuses already

[Joe]

im in

[Matt90]

Guys see edits to original post for rules - what does everyone think for a reasonable timeframe? 1-2 weeks?

Players:
Stuc
NFFC1991
Adam09
Me
R42
Klinsk
Joe

We are about ready to go i think.

[nffc1991]

Guys see edits to original post for rules - what does everyone think for a reasonable timeframe? 1-2 weeks?

I'd say about 10 days is good, possibly two weeks to make sure everyone can finish it?

Last time if people played it more and finished early they could always try it again or continue with another game and it seemed to work well.

[Matt90]

2 weeks would suit me pretty well...depends on everyone else.

Of course there has to be a degree of honesty with this i.e. don't save and re-load etc....

[r42]

how we starting now matt also do you after pick just them english teams

[nffc1991]

By the way, it might be a good idea to make a list of all the screen shots we need to prove positions/honesty ect
