AngryPaul's FM 2005 Challenge

[AngryPaul]

Hello all, now we have had quite a bit of natter around here about FM. I have had an idea. Lets compete.

No, not in a network game. We all play as the same team in FM'05 and see who does best. :)

At the moment I am Aston Villa and I am only just into the start of my first season. We can choose another team if people think that it is too easy.

What do you think?

[streety]

Oooo it's so tempting to get it......
Sounds like a great idea AP.

[jonffm]

Yeah, sounhds great.

There is one slight problem. I don't do it because it totally ruins the point of the game, but I know some people do...and thats getting to a difficult cup game, saving, and replaying untill you win....but as long as it's the members that are known and trusted that take part, it won't be a problem.

Villa would be alright :) Either that or we could go with a small team from the Championship or lower?

How about taking a Conference North or South side to the Champions League title? We did that on the FM forum I go on.

At the moment on FM I'm Notts Forest, two promotions in two seasons. :cool:

I probably won't start anymore games now though, not until FM 2006.

Grrrrr. i was half expecting a network game.
Only problem is, some people have official patches installed, so it would be a bugger, everyone would need to either have the patch installed(its free) or turn their patches off.
But im up for it, and i vote for Boro' cos they always seem to get relegated on my game(im them now, but ill start again)

[Shave]

any team is fine as long as it's not one of the very top teams (eg pool, man u, arsenal, chelsea, etc). villa sounds fine

Was just about to post a link to buy the game brand new for £7.99... They have just increased the price to £14.99.

Bugger!

£14.99 is still not a bad price though. Inicidentally you could've got PES5 for that much from HMV until today when they noticed their mistake and went up to 29.99. :(

Still I think once the purchase has been agreed they're legally bound to sell it to you, so at least I've got me some cheap PES5 action. :D

Shame I missed out on buying it.
