FootieManager

[Dell19]

Its not total spam, I thought you all liked to know when I gained my rare points. I think Willem and MCdread still pick teams as they haven't been kicked off the game. I didn't post anymore than the result as unless I win at home to Martigues on Saturday, then I will still be in the relegation zone, if I win I would be level on points.

I might try the new game that you have signed up to.

Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it! Don't take offence on my observations...

 

[Dell19]

I didn't say you didn't like it.

 

[Dell19]

I registered for the other game and I have a team but the game doesn't look that good. Immediately I could pick a team and see some fixtures and some results but no league tables. I can see that it looks like it would be easier to buy players but it doesn't look any better than Footiemanager.

 

[Shabbaman]

You could pick a game immediately? I had to wait for three weeks!!!
In comparison with footiemanager, this game has more tactics. It's more like cm, since you have to employ staff, invest in youth teams, stadium and so on. And it has way more divisions.

 

[Dell19]

Where do you all this? And where are the league tables?

 

[Shabbaman]

Well, if you click on your team name you should get a lot of options like 'training' and so on in the menu bar. Below the name of your team is the league you're playing in. If you click on that you get to that league's table.
Below your team name is the name of the country you subscribed to (and that you're playing in), if you click on that you should get all divisions in that country. Check out the screenie. It's in dutch, but you'll get the point.

Are you sure you signed up to the same game ?

 

[Dell19]

I get a screen similar to that but in English but I didn't find an obvious league table option. I see I am 7th out of 8 teams.

 

[Shabbaman]

What's your team ID? I could invite you for a friendly Mine is in the picture.
If you'd click on the 'Nederland' link, you'd get at the index of all dutch leagues. Maybe there aren't any leagues in your country

 

[Dell19]

My ID is 54173 but we might not be able to play each other since we are in different countries...

 

[Shabbaman]

I'll try of course. I believe I can't play friendlies as long as I'm playing cup matches though.

 

[Inter4]

I was eliminated of the Cup League! I'm so mad, and the worst part is that I got eliminated in the penalties 4-3 after a 0-0 draw

BTW, I signed up for hattrick.org some time ago and I got a team today. I'm told it's way much better than any other manager game, since it's more dependent on human interaction. I'll keep you posted.

Me too. Received my team the same day you did. I'm in league VI though . From what I've read the game is awesome but it takes a lot of practice and time to get even to the middle of the pack.

I had my first match yesterday and lost 3-0. Injured one of his players though, that must count for something .

I might challenge you for an intl friendly Shabba. I'm Sticla T-veni (183500) and I have a different nickname, but it's me.

 

[Dell19]

I should be playing a game today, I will report back wih the result later

 

[willemvanoranje]

I won...finally

 

[Shabbaman]

I lost, against my direct competitor This game is getting somewhat annoying. Aside from massive player trade, I still don't get the point of this game. It seems as if everything is determined randomly...
On the bright side, Shabba FC won their first match with 6-0. The brilliant change of strategy, plus the fact that my opponent only listed 10 players, made it possible to rise to the 5th place.

Next game: a friendly versus Grantham

 

[Dell19]

I drew on both footiemanager and the new one. Neither game is Championship manager...

 

[willemvanoranje]

of course not! There's nothing like CM!

 

[Dell19]

Its just that Shabba seems to be expecting Footiemanager to be something really quite substantial and really both FM and Hattrick are just free games and are just a bit of fun, not something thaqt is hugely time consuming.
