So I'm a FM n00b. I just bought 06 and I've yet to really get into a career. However, the media interaction is what intrigued me about this game the most. Is it worth it to still try and get into 06, or is 07 so much better that I should just wait and 'get serious about FM' after that is available? Some of the descriptions of the 07 media interaction seem really sweet. I'[m afraid I'll just be pining for that while playing 06. =)

have you gone out and tried to buy a top-class player in 07 though? The $$ amounts wanted are INSANE. You have guys with values of 16 million dollars and their clubs won't give them up for anything less than 60 million dollars! Given that I think the problem is magnified because of the smaller size of the DB in the quickstart, but it's almost impossible unless you're playing as Chelski to buy a player who will be anything less than a backup for a top-flight club for anything less than 30 million dollars, even if their value is 10 million dollars. It's crazy. I suppose with Bosan's and larger DB's and more time to scout and all it won't be AS MUCH of a problem, but it just doesn't seem...right. I honestly think that if players became unsettled easier and WANTED to move more then it would work itself out, as those players would be available for value. |

I have to agree with daedalus on this one. In FM '06, if I wanted a premium player, I had to pay top dollar no matter how much the valuation was. I was playing as Barca in 2015 and desperately needed a solid DC. Arsenal had a guy I wanted, but there was no way they were going to let him go for his valuation price given the fact that they were consistently competing for both Premiership and European titles. He was valued at 12.5 million pounds and we ended up meeting Arsenal's asking price of 50 million pounds for him. To get top quality stars, you have to overpay. Is it insane? Maybe so. Is it realistic? I would suggest it is. If another big club wants my best players, I am going to make them pay through the nose for those players or they will not be getting them. |

Looks like a no-go on manageable USL leagues. All the teams and players are in the game, but you can not coach them. Some people at the SI forums are going to try to use the custom league editor to change it to where they are playable but I am not going to get my hopes up.

So where should I order this? GoGamer doesn't have it up, and Amazon.co.uk won't let me order it...and I don't want WWSM.

As Ef27 and Ajaxab said, top class player at a top (non-selling) club will cost more. They don't NEED the money. If you try to buy one at a selling club, (assuming this new feature works correctly) their chairman would force the sale if the money is right. If not, simply to operate, they would sell. Experimenting with buying Ribery (because it would make Henry happy), I was able to get him for ~11. That's entirely reasonable. On the other hand, 'Boro (hi, Chief!) turned down a bid of 9+ from overseas for Boateng. Eh. |

just screwin around and playing with money...trying to buy dani alves from villareal (his value is 16 million), i had to pay ~60 million to get him. That's like what...3.5-4x his value? That's crazy. At that rate even chelsea can only afford 2 players a year. and that's not even considering that that would pretty much break the world record for transfers ever (although i'm not sure of my dollars to pounds conversion, so prolly not quite). |

You want to buy a young player with high potential (at least according to my scouts when I was tinkering with the demo) with plenty of contract left from a club that doesn't NEED to sell too badly (they did well in the CL last year, though they are a smaller club). You are just going to spend money. Apparently, that comes out to 48 Euro/32 GBP which is darn high. On the other hand, Lyon held out until they got 26 GBP/48 USD when they player CLEARLY wanted to leave simply because, well, they didn't HAVE to sell.

there were plenty more examples. that was just the most striking. walter samuel or marco matterazi from inter...inter wouldn't let either of them go for anything and i stopped trying around 20. matterazi is 32 years old, they're both sweepers, inter shouldn't need BOTH Of them, they should certainly be willing to take 20 million dollars for matterazi. |

Materazzi and Samuel are the starting centre-back pairing for Inter. I think they aren't going to give either up cheaply.
Remember the computer is basically thinking if they sell Materazzi, could they replace him with equal or better quality for $20m? Probably not, certainly not immediately anyway, and if you are a team competing for top trophies it isn't worth the bother to take the risk. Especially when you don't need the money anyway. |

Not like Inter don't have the talent to replace one or the other for 20 million though. Then again I guess with a larger DB this problem will be partially taken care of by opening up the amount of players to go after.
Jonathan de Guzman...18yo Canadian kid. Valued at 7 million dollars, Feyenoord property. Now you can't tell me Feyenoord couldn't use the money, but they're holding out for 25-30 million dollars. Now I don't think he should come cheap, but at the same time I think there's someething out of whack where players don't request moves enough. If Real Madrid came in IRL for him and expressed interest (depending on the kid, i admit i don't know his personality), he would likely BEG Feyenoord to let him go and they'd let him leave for 15-17 mil. Not 25-30! Last edited by DaddyTorgo : 10-10-2006 at 11:12 PM. |

n00b Q - how do I sign transfers? I'm a Third League team and I've offered about 50 guys that are worth $0, or $1000 with contracts all under $50/week. I get permission every time from the other club, but I have never been able to finalize a contract, no matter how much money I offer. Any tips/tricks?

Todd: Did you offer what they want? or did they just say "We don't want to sign with you"..

Is there a trick to finding the players who are willing to play for you, or is it trial and error? Do I need to offer 200 players in order to find the handful who will play for me? |

Check the scouting reports, maybe?
Also, they won't instantly accept/reject, wait a couple days, and see if other teams are offering them..

The lower your division, the harder it is to get quality players to come to your team. If you're league 2 or Conference for example, it's almost impossible to get anyone other than a youngster from a premiership team.
You might want to check the status on the contract screen. I've found often times in this version it's defaulted to backup. Changing that to first team or key player should help. |

Do you have your scout filtering your searches to only realistic signings?

In FM06, you used to be able, from the Player Profile screen, to release a comment at any time about a player (good or bad). I no longer seem to be able to do that. Has it moved?

It isn't the same thing since mods and skins don't work for it. If that's important to you, then don't buy WWSM.

Skins should definitely work with WWSM (exactly the same codebase) as will additional pictures etc., a very few unofficial editors have problems with it - normally these are related to them looking for something 'FM' related when they start up and can be rectified by renaming a folder/exe/whatever from WWSM to the FM equivalent (I can't say exactly what simply because 2007 isn't out yet and I've no idea what unofficial editors will appear for it).

Just out of curiosity, will there be a downloadable version of WWSM this year, and will it be done through the same provider?

So the MSL soundds like things are much improved. My last question is related to International club management. I remember there was a limit to the number of the friendlies an international side can set up.

From what everyone is sayingg, yes, there will be a downloadable version, but it's NOT the previous provider (Digital River did not work out for them, obviously), I think it's Elicense which is a known good guy.
