Very large number of teams to go down, harsh.

I am currently playing 01/02 so I think I am a good 10 years too early to do any experiment.

Fernando Torres is quite good though.

Yeh I saw on SI forums when creating the same thread over there. Turns out they're all obsessed with claiming success than helping me as these boys did.

On topic, that's a rubbish name for a Stadium. It would mean something had you bought him and he was a success.

Cheers boys. Tried Miles on twitter but he didn't know in his usual sarcastic tone.

Really want it to be on 06 as I found the disc and fancy a long run dynasty.

I have never had this happen, has anyone on here? Would love to see a few screenshots if anyone has.

Also does anyone know when SI first implemented this feature? I am currently having a little bash on FM06 and would love to know if it's in that version.

Cash for stuff like stunts, running with crew, stealing a jet, losing wanted levels etc. Just silly stuff you do in free roam really.

The game punishes you financially for not doing the missions or races (over and over). It's a bit too grinding atm

I'll enjoy spending the $1,000 (if my friends let me keep all of the loot)

The thing that puts me off is the amount of effort for your money. I don't want everything given to me but I feel I am wasting my time just messing around with friends online as I don't get anything from it I can use. Therefore I am obligated to do the same 4-5 missions for money I just spend on ammo and armour mainly.

They should have given out cash bonuses rather than RP for 'cruising with players' etc. Give out $1,000 for things like this and you'll see players will play for longer.

The whole point of GTA was freedom so Rockstar should reward those who do this.

No one gives a crap about RP

I have a new problem. The player ratings no longer show up unless I am in the tactics screen mid-match.
Any advice on fixing this?

Tried that the alpha attribute doesn't seem to be affecting it.

You can change the colour of the line but not seem to do anything about the opacity.

Thanks for the tip man works well.

The same trick doesn't seem to work on the graphical analyser though. WIll mess around a little to try and hid this too.

Any tips?

I am looking at an extreme for of LLM where I cannot see any attributes. I am thinking it could be as easy as changing the colour of the attributes to match the background of the skin and thus hide them.

Does anyone know if this can be done or has been done? Or does anyone know of any already made skins that have done this?

PS: I am looking for this on FM08 but any theories or practices that could be transfered from a more recent edition would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers mate. Just running some tests now. Tried 25 leagues with a medium database and I got 82 nations and it runs quite nicely.

Just trying it with large DB now, it'll be a compromise of nations vs speed. I think I might go for speed over amount of nations though.


Just tried it and a large DB only gives me 6 more nations. In my eyes it's not worth it in the long run so I'll probably opt for the Medium DB.

I'll make a story when I am settled in for a couple of seasons:


Around The World III is on!

I also forgot to mention that there is a "Huge" database size option, you have to download a panels.fmf file to be able to use it and I came across a working download link recently.

My current saved game is the one I mentioned a few post up (27 nations, "Large" database), this gives me around 85,000 players, 35,000 non-players and 12,000 teams.

While the same amount of nations loaded using the "Huge" database gives me around 130,000 players, 45,000 non-players and 13,000 teams.

It also gives you 114 playable national teams!!!

Tried it both ways and the game seems to somehow run faster with more leagues run rather than payers.

I also get more manageable Nations, in fact 76!! Including Japan

I'm also gonna make it a bit of a lottery as to who I manage by tracking the major tournaments and seeing which jobs become free from them.

You had restricted yourself a bit with your initial database size and leagues you had selected, I've had simular problems with not being able to apply for national team jobs because of this.

What specs your PC/Laptop have? I only ask as I don't have the most powerfull laptop in the world (2.00 GHz, 3 GB RAM) but I'm able to play FM08 with a large database and 22 nations with top leagues playable, 4 nations (England, Spain, France & Germany) with all leagues playable and 1 nation (Italy) with the top 2 divisions playable. The only time I notice my laptop struggling are the when various seasons end and relegated/promoted teams are sorted and new Regens are created for the various countries. But you will be able to apply for most top nations around the world.

It might be worth loading players from a few other nations without playable leagues (depending on who you might like to manage) as nations like Egypt, North Korea etc.. won't let you apply for jobs.


I've a Macbook Pro with 2.66GHz and 4GB RAM.

Just doing a few tests at the moment, loaded a butt-load of players and not leagues and I could manage about 80 nations but it ran way too slowly. I'm just trying with 60 players nations loaded to see what happens.

After that I'll see how many leagues I can load and see how fast that runs.

I've also managed to get Japan playable but I'm going to wait until later in the game for the chance to manage them (as long as they'd take me)

Expect "Around The World III" soon.

Unlucky with the near-promotion bid last year.

Here's hoping you finally make it.

Incredible results! Congrats to to the title, just amazing, the Brazil and Argentina games. What's your plan now? You're staying with Chile?


Not sure yet, I'm tempted to call a day on this one and begin a new one. A few Asian jobs came up for grabs and I couldn't apply for any of them so I might just load a couple of leagues but load all players from almost every nation giving me a huge list of playable National teams.

The only question will be who to start with?

I've highlighted this part of the report as this was the crucial point in the game. I was doing my tactics so I have to admit I didn't see the incident but all I saw was the bar flashing Blue & Yellow. I then though, balls. I finished my tactics and then the bar flashed Red & Blue!

I thought "yes 1-1 good job lads". Quickly finished my tactics and came back out to the match screen and saw it was 1-0 to us!

So it looks like the goal was disallowed. My keeper hoofed the freekick long, Fernandez dispossessed their CB and drilled it home.

How a game can turn.

My first tournament win!!!!

Well, I'll be. We've only gone and done it again. I went for "no pressure" again and got a cheeky headed goal from a corner. Our second was also from a corner, only headed in at the near post.

So my first ever final, against Colombia.

[sorry just wiping my drink from my screen and picking my jaw up from the floor!]

I am amazed we managed this result, Matias Fernandez is my hero and welcome to marry my sister any day. I set the team talk in the first half to "no pressure" and they seemed to play that way.

Next up is Argentina featuring Messi, Tevez & Aguero (gulp)

Also just noticed that the game is on the 29th of July... just two days away!
