You'd be surprised just how dedicated the football manager researchers are. If they're a decent player on fm, they're not far from it in real life (unless they play for newcastle or southampon as their researchers simply manipulate players to be outstanding in the game).

Not saying it's flawless of course, but I can think of worse ways to find out the abilities of a player

Anyone who is over the age of 21 who plays computer games, needs to grow up and get a life
:hook:

And as for those who think we should sign such and such because they are good on football manager really needs to grow a brain ;-)

It's true, they have their own scouting team who research players and they have links with actual club scouts too over Europe. It's not obviously 100% accurate but its not unusual for young players to develop to great players in the game and for the same to happen in real life. Of course it's not a hard fast rule but Kasami develops into an amazing player in FM after a few seasons so fingers crossed ;)

A player might have a good season while the game is being made, doesn't mean he will be good any of the following years. Not saying they don't research the players, I do understand how it works,

Not scouting team, but head and assistant researchers (for which I am Fulham's) who have a bucket load of data to get through. Obviously there is an individuals opinion but nothing goes a miss with the amount of us about to watch all levels of the game and all players within it.

Sorry by scouting team I was getting at 'researchers' but scouting team sounded cooler haha

Sounds like a great (but hard) job. do you have links with club scouts?

what do you think of the battle between Fifa and PES?
I prefer Fifa,it's more realistic while PES seems to much an arcade game.

[The King]

Oh the days when PES was the realistic one and FIFA the not-so-realistic one. PES dominated the football scene up to PES 6, which is probably the best ever football game.

counter-strike 1.6

This takes me back to when I was 13-14 year old. Pretty much played the game from the minute I got home from school to when I went back to school the next day. Seems so sad now, but it was just incredible. Probably the best game I've ever played. Still would love to play now if I could find the time.

so good wasnt it. all the kids going on about COD nowadays, they dont know what they are on about.

well counterstrike is out today for xbox on xbox live for 1200 points. i cant wait.gonna be crap at it as im not good at FPS's on consoles

PES 4 for me. But I can't get into FIFA, there just seems way too much to do to be good at it, and PES has been crap for years. So no football games for me anymore, which is a shame as it was all I played for years

PES 3 and 4 were big for me, great games. Used to play the first ones when they were called like ISO or some weird thing like that, struggle to find time to bother now.

er actually mate, the original call of duty smashes half life out of the way. That game is in the league of goldeneye etc. So when you say kids with cod these days.....remember half life only came out pretty much 2 years before and didnt really take off (globally) till it hit the xbox in 2003 (the same year as cod and was blown out of the water)

[The King]

Call of Duty 1 is Call of Duty 1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare episode 666 is crap. They are completely different games.

I'm also quite a fan of COD Modern Warfare,especially the last one.Excellent to play online.I also like Battefield but not online.

[fulhamben]

boaderlands is a great game. very much like fallout but with more and better action

[valdeingruo]

Has anyone accomplished a top flight title/cup run with a majority of the players consisting of academy/ national players?   Ie. Fulham with 9-10 English players first team.

had access to the beta for some time now and it's taken me a season to get to grips with the tactics and decided that it's all pretty much screwed if you dont play with a DM. 2nd season going reasonably well, mid table and in the league cup semi's. Riether and Dejagah really are amazy down the right.
