I just recently built my new monster machine which I think is capable of conducting an all league and all nation set-up with a large DB. I loaded a game last night and it took around 10 minutes for it to load the game. That is not to shabby.
So, I am looking to start a career as an unemployed manager and attempt to rise to the top and manage a team capable of winning the Champions Cup. I am trying to come up with a list of house rules for the challenge. Here is what I have so far:
Job House Rules
-I must stay at a club for a full calendar season
-I can not apply for other jobs while my club is in season. In other words, I can not leave my team during the season unless I am offered a job outright.
-I must leave the club in a better position that I inherited it in. For example, if I take over a club that is in 5th position or finished 5th the prior season I must finish the season higher than 5th.
-I can not leave a club in worse financial shape than I inherited it in. This will prevent me from loading up on expensive contracts and then leaving the club.
-I can only apply for jobs that are one level higher than the league I am currently in. For example if I managing in league 2 I can only apply for jobs in league 1. This is might get tricky if done across nations, so I will have to make a comparative analysis between leagues before applying. However, if I am outright offered a job, I can accept it assuming all prior conditions have been met.
-I am allowed to assemble a "known" list. My known list will be players that I bookmark after having coached against them or previously coached the player. Also, any American is allowed to get on my known list regardless of whether I have coached the player or coached against the player.
Game House Rules
-I can not sign a player unless I have scouted the player or had the player in for a trial.
-I can not invite a player in for a trial unless I have scouted the player or the player is on my "known" list.
-No super tactics.
-I am not allowed to download any shortlist of players. Players must be discovered through scouting or playing against.
-I can not take advantage of any other cheats (please list them if you can think of any more)
The dynasty format will be a mix of media reports and of a manager's journal. I am just looking for more ideas to add to this dynasty to make it enjoyable for myself and the reader. Please add any sort of feedback. I am hoping to start it this weekend. I am going to have to get caught up on my FM skills a bit, as they are rusty.
