- We download the saved game file to check out our team and make a plan of action. (need step by step instructions here).
- Come Sunday we get online and put our plan into place.
I just have a few tech questions. How do we even connect online, and how do we actually get started doing it? Your answer should be premised on the fact that I am a moron when it comes to these things. And then perhaps somebody could tell us what to expect as we do it. I mean does it involved making one transaction at a time and then waiting, or do we get like 5 minutes to do as many transactions as possible before we hit "continue." I'm just trying to get a feel for this before we go hot on Sunday.

For those who haven't looked at the holiday options:
We(well, CW anyway) can set the players not there on holiday, with these options as instructions:
Apply for managerial positions at higher reputation clubs
Accept All offers for players
Only Accept offers matching asking price
Reject All offers
Only Sell Transfer listed players (This is available as an option on all the above)
Bid for Players on your shortlist
Do not bid on any players
Use Current Match tactics
Use current Team Selection when possible
CW will need your password to do all this I believe.

IIRC from looking last night, Blackpool should have a decent defense. Other than that, we're screwed:)
Our defense will be badass...in about 5 years, when they get out of diapers. :)

you got tons of photoshopping skills my friend ;)
Interesting results. No clue how my bunch of no skills assclowns (aka Swansea) could get to 6th place though...

Five teams within four points of one another, all controlled by human players. The relegation battle should be fun - especially given that Oldham aren't anywhere near it.

Port Vale will clinch promotion by the 32nd match. You heard it here first.

After seeing these results and looking at every team's board expectations, and seeing that the Nottm Forest board expects them to win the series title, I would say that Vinatieri for Prez is the dude with the most pressure on his shoulder to perform this season ;)

oh so you're the Juventus of England? Good to know. I'd assume that your rivals will always get Rob Styles the game right before they play your team? Clever...

After perusing my roster, I must ask... can you play 14 year olds in league competition? My #4 striker looks to be a 14 year old. Probably not good.
On the other hand, my wingers and keeper look solid, so I've got that.

If we can work out where the chat is going to be beforehand, that would be nice, as I don't have a chat thing on my computer, so I'll have to get one if there's going to be a special chat. Or I may have to use my wife's stuff.

okay, here's what I had gathered about all the teams. I added the FOFCer in charge next to each of them. Both budgets are in US dollars and the wages are weekly.

I sorted them by expected league finish more or less. I learned this past season in my Luton career that "respectable league position" is better than 7th, as I finished 7th and my board was disappointed with the team's performance, heh. I also realized there were two sort of relegationg related goals, "stay clear of" and "fight bravely against". Quite a few teams had the goal of "investing in new players and start rebuilding the team" although I have now clue as to what kind of league position expectation this could lead to so I put them right after the "safe mid-table" finishers...

before seeing cschex's answer I thought "heck, why not". I mean, everybody will have to deal with his own board and their expectations, and also with their players and their own expectations.
I'm still not sure how far we will get into the season and how fast it will go. I mean, It usually takes me a solid two weeks to play a season in single player mode and I play 1-2 hours a night. Now, 2 hours a week, that would translate to over 14 weeks, probably more like six months (up to 26 weeks). We'll see as we go I guess...
Looking forward to this very much.

dola, CW, I was wondering if there would be any way for you to open up the server midweek at a known day/time but locking the "continue" button so that if anybody would want to do scouting and/or run the tedious tasks like setting training, lineups and such, they could do it without having the game "go grey" (aka processing) on them.
Not even sure if this "locking the continue button" is possible or not, just throwing the idea out there.

Well, actually I guess it would be, he could set it back to 100% and then as long as he does not hit continue it would be fine.

It took me about half an hour to set up training with the constant continuing going on. That was a real drag.
Also, could somebody give a suggestion how to avoid the screen change after each continue. I would be altering training, and then a continue would happen, and then I would go back to the manager default screeen. By the time I worked my way back it was almost time for another continue. Thankfully that's done. I'd imagine that issue is unavoidable. I'll be happy when we are well on our way so there isn't so much to do. Starting an FM game (even SP) is always a drag for me.

that is why I thought it would be a good idea to have a session with no continuing, say on Wednesday, where people could look things over, set their lineup, really scout their team or other players.

this is from the Football Manager 2007 blog:
For those who play network games, theres been some optimisation made to make the experience easier, also the addition of screen remembering, which means that having the "continue game timeout" option which stops you from being kicked out of making transfer bids and return to screens that you dont want to be on.
So I assume they have noticed the problem, that no it's not possible to correct it in 2006 but will be for 2007...

this is from the Football Manager 2007 blog:
So I assume they have noticed the problem, that no it's not possible to correct it in 2006 but will be for 2007...

That sucks.

So we still on for 8 Sunday Eastern?

We are. (8 central, rather)
I'm HOPEFULLY gonna turn it on either early sunday or tomorrow for awhile. It's been very hectic the last few days, and I haven't really been home to give everyone a "non continue" day.

I thought it was 8 central, 9 eastern actually...
Also, will it be possible to open up the server so we can do some of what we talked about?

dola, ignore the second part of my previous post. The 8 vs 9 question still stands though...

Unfortuately, I dont think I can make it tonight.
I have a birthday party in NJ and trying to get home from NJ after 830 passing the Meadowlands = TRAFFIC.
Sucks.

I'll be there.
Me too, been looking forward to it all week.

I'll flip it on (with no continue) at halftime of the Bears game.

I'm enforcing the 10pm shutdown tonight anyway, so no big deal.
SirFozzie

CW, if we're only going to be up for 2 hours, could we open earlier next time?

Well, I'm on eastern time. Still shouldn't be a huge problem, since I've got my training and tactics pretty well set up.

Agreed. Two hrs isn't very long.

We maybe shoudn't do it this week however on such short notice, as a lot of the guys won't know about it.

Ah, gotta sign off. Being out west, this goes from 6:00-8:00 and just doesn't work in my schedule. So, I'll have to give up the team. Anyone who wants Notts Forest, it's yours. Should be desirable, they have the best budget but the highest expectations.
How do you guys want it done. Should I quit as manager?
