jamboinglasgow Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 just for a laugh, I used the data editor to fool about with the game, making hearts have ?100 million and a 55,000 tynecastle. I created a wonderkid for Hearts who is Scottish, N. Irish and Brazilian. Played a season and Hearts now have 6 Brazilian wonderkids playing at them and using a Barca style 4-3-3. Obviously won the league. Great fun though. When I get bored I will go back to my proper game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRY Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 After a struggling to make an impact in season one and in actual fact doing worse than that I decided to sack Frail and bring in Tony Whelan (Man Utd Youth Coach) as assistant manager. I also utilised the Arsenal_Untouchables tactic and CMFrenzy's training schedule, early indications seem to be that it has brought a great deal of stability to the team and I am now looking to build on that. Anyone else used this tactic? Also, as a side note, how good is Dimitriu Copil? Yep - I use that training schedule and sometimes that tactic. Worked great for me so far: 2nd in the league last season (2011/12) Won the Leaue cup last night, and am in 3rd, 1 point away from 2nd so far this season.

Praha06 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The reason I mentioned the Arsenal untouchables tactic is that although it stabilised my team, I am still not winning enough matches, or scoring enough goals, I drew 3 games in a row 0-0. Also it seems to work at home more often but away to the stronger teams I still struggle. Anyone got any suggestions? Pinillia is a greeting faced see u next tuesday as well!

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I started again after winning the cup with Hearts, finishing second in the league, qualifying for the CL group stages, and proceeding to lose every game! In my second seasons league campaign I struggled after the board sold 5 top players from under me which left me with a wad of cash, but no bloody team! I finished 7th in the league and my contract wasnt renewed and I ended up at Q.O.S (which I may go back to later). Started a new season and my team is Basso (for some reason he is brilliant for me!) Wallace Goncalves (Amazing) Berra Sorin (amazing) Driver (amazing) Ruben Distel Zola Kingston Aaritalo Kostadinov Also got Wilkie who seems to be very decent, Rapnik is brilliant cover for Goncalves, Bruno is very good too and I bring him in against the smaller teams when I dont need a holding midfielder. So far top of the league by 4 points after 8 league games and Celtic are in 5th place, with Rangers in 9th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsforglory Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Kostadinov always rejects me for Ripo. I might try and take Stoke up, that's the great thing about The Championship, if you can get to the play offs anything can happen. Stoke will no doubt be p!sh in the game no mate stoke are great in game i got them to prem in one season,i could reccomend players;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get beat at least 5-0 Not quite always but usually. Although the way my team has been performing this season, I could've been humped by just about everyone. End of season 1 and it went as follows: SPL - Finished 5th. Scottish Cup finalists - Beaten 3-0 by Rangers. Highlight of the cup run was a 5-1 over Hibernian in the semi final which was curiously played at Tulloch Stadium, Inverness! Qualified for the Intertoto Cup!

Zali Cinnamon Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Anyone looking for a dirt-cheap striker, try Dalibor Volas from Slovenia. I'm in season 2010/11 and he's never averaged less than a goal a game since signing him in the first pre-season for about ?35,000. Might be hard to find unless you've got the large database enabled though. Adrian Hora is excellent too, half of Europe are trying to nab him off me and it's a matter of time 'til Vlad starts accepting bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get beat at least 5-0 Can usually do them at Tynie but struggle a bit at the Piggery. That might be more to do with my tactics though. They get stupidly rich a couple of seasons in too so it's hard to compete. Rangers seem to get a hell of a lot of dodgy penalties against me too, can't knock it for realism I suppose.

BRY Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I feel like I've betrayed my country... After guiding Hearts to 2nd place in the league, 2 seasons running (and Scotland exiting the 2012 Euro Championships, despite beating England), I was offered the Scotland job in my game last night. It was part-time, as I could be Hearts manager at the same time, but I turned it down. So instead, they have appointed...................................... John Collins!

Will prob start as macclesfield Town cos they're my wee English team and it's good to build up from the bottom.

Praha06 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Decided to stick with the Arsenal untouchables tactic for my second season in charge of the famous. And it went a lot better, the tactic almost lived up to its name. SPL - Finished 3rd. Lead the way for most of the season. Scottish Cup - Beaten 2-1 by Hibs in the quarter final replay. League Cup - Beaten finalists. Lost to Rangers 1-0 in the final. UEFA Cup (progressed from Intertoto) - Knocked out in the 1st round by Rapid Bucharesti. I had signed Neil Alexander as first choice keeper from Rangers and the guy was immense , made a real difference to the team. Another plus was Christos Karypidis who scored 20 goals from CB, he kept heading in corners, not sure if its a bug in the game cos thats a lot of goals for your CB to be scoring! But I'll take it.

I qualified for the CL group stages by knocking out Rapid Bucharest 5-1 on aggregate and so far only played 1 group game where I was humped 4-1 away to Inter.

BRY Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I qualified for the Uefa Cup group stage last night. I've finished 2nd in the league 2 seasons running, but never yet managed to qualify for the Champions League. Last season, I got beat in the last CL qualifier against Galatasaray, then dropped to the UEFA cup, and got beat again. This season, I lost again in the last CL qualifier, and dropped to the UEFA to play..... Galatasaray! Beat them 2-1 at Tynie, and then went to Turkey... Went 1-0 up, and then they equalised, and scored again in the second half, to put the game into extra time. We ended up winning extra-time 2-1, for a 3-3 result, and a 5-4 win on aggregate!

Eckauskas Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 In the start of my 2nd season, I've done a complete clear out. The Liths are gone, Karapidis, Jose, Wallace, Tall, Kingston, Bednar, Mole, Makela, Nade, Pinilla, Stewart, Ruben, Bruno, Elliot, Basso, Neilson and a whole lot of the reserves have been punted. With the resulting cash, I've brought in: Geir Olav Fiske - Free, going to be something special. Carlos Aliaga - ?150k, right back to replace Tall. Xisco Nadal - ?325k, striker. Bound to be a million times better than Makela. Guillermo Burdisso - ?18k, centre back. Bastien Geiger - ?65k, defensive midfielder. Pablo Mazza - ?2k, striker. Kevin Cawley - ?20k, attacking midfielder from Celtic. Jonas Elmer - ?80k left back. Jonathon Bru - Free, DM. Thomas Heurteaux - Free, DC. Jens Grahl - ?3k, GK. Lukas Kuban - ?1.5m, DRL.
