Buy the game. I won't tell you how to do it, simply that there is security on pretty much every game which is checked each time you run the game and if you check the sizes of the two discs, there will be a 20MB difference. Certain CD writers can do it, certain ones can't, and certain ones need a helping hand. I know what setting you're looking for, I know how to do it, but no I'm not going to help you because as much as you may not have the money, I don't want to promote someone doing that. I've only done it when my dad wants to play a game and I want to play it but we both need the CD - convenience purposes having already bought the game myself.

I must sound like a total tosser :mellow:

I would buy the game, but I've just bought 2 other games, and I'm 15 so aint as if I have a load of cash...If anyone could help me out it'd be greatly appreciated!

any of you guys got Nikola Zigic? from Red Star Belgrade, the striker? I recommend so, i bought him during the January window, and he has got me three goals already in two games. He is also 6'6, and has 20 rating in heading and finishing. Quite a rare!!

How much is he? How old?

I have just started a season with Gretna(SL2) and Kenny Deuchar is a legend!!! Last season in real life he scored 38 goals in 36 apps! Hes got 19 finishing and 19 heading. His other skills are a bit naff though. 14k and I would reccomend him to League 2 sides who need a 25-year old Superman! But you have to include Scottish teams/Players

if im not mistaken, last i've checked he was 25 years old, and values i think around 3.5 or 4.5 million..

I'll check into those Scottish players you say mate, cheers

btw, any idea on who is a good goalkeeper but cheap? I prefer at the most 3 million. I badly need a keeper now, any ideas? Cheers

 

[Gun_Runner]

Craig Gordon? Hearts... hes a good keeper.

Grohe, is brazillian 18 year old keeper, "dubbed the new Marcos" and gets a work permit every time for some strange reason. (I think he has portugese in him)

 

[Jonny2J]

finished my first season with Hearts in 3rd place which i was quite pleased with as i just couldn't really beat the old firm, Paul Hartley was top drawer for me as my playmaker... also managed to shrug of many a bid for Craig Gordon and Andy Webster

2nd season i have no money and many of my star players from last season who were already their have returned to their respective clubs so i'm having to bring in players on free's, the player's i acquired in my 2nd season were

Fadiga (Free)
Nano (Free)
Joao Pinto (Free)
Adam Virgo (Loan)

also Dalibor Stevanovic is finally starting to be a consistent destroyer in the centre of the park for me as well

 

[Magpie4eva]

Well some good keepers are Eddie Gustafon (cant spell his last name) hes on a free in december. Again if you are a Scottish team Darren Hill is great and hes on the transfer list so offer £0 for him and easy does it!

1. Sivok, Podolski, Sobis, Kerlon and Gladstone, Borre and Gaven.(More than 5 I know but still)

2. I have a list I found on the internet I will post it again so this post isn't too cluttered.

3. Sivok, Borre, Esposito, Gaven and Palacio. (I'm assuming you mean realistic targets and cheap otherwise its obvious Ronaldinho etc.)

4. Chelsea, Real Madrid, ? , ?

 

[Top Gun]

Podolski is amazing i would definetly recommend him to anybody who has the game.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Podolski is amazing i would definetly recommend him to anybody who has the game.

He'll cost you about 18m though on it. I'd rather get Rodrigo Palacio from Boca or Carlos Tevez, will do the job, get you goals and assists and cost you a lot less.

 

[DARK JAK]

(sorry for the double post)
The List:
Its current ability to potential ability

"Abenzoar, Loic",Lyon,DRC,02/02/1989,75,-9 (150-180),,,,

So I'm guessing it goes from name too club then position,D.O.B,?(dunno),potential.
Right.

Oh and I'm guessing established players with pontential over 180 are excluded?

Yes.

 

[DARK JAK]

Yes.

Have you got one without all the exclusions?

 

[Magpie4eva]

Emrah Ekin is a 15 year old striker with 15+ finishing. I played him for my U18s and he has 8 games 11 goals!

 

[Akineye]

For fooks sake, you could have posted a spoiler warning or something before you told everybody the potential ability. The list of players with -10 abilities is as close as you can get to a cheat.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Sorry man, its deleted now.

 

[Akineye]

Biggest waste of money.

 

[Top Gun]

Haha, what a joke 15 games and 1 goal are you sure it isn't Peter Crouch. LOL

Having no money to spend is a blessing in disguise on this game. On FM05 I always spent big and brought loads of quality to my teams, and never actually took a youngster through the youth team into the first team. But with Bari on FM06, I have no choice but to do that. I've been in charge for two and a bit seasons now, and I have a team full of teenagers who are brilliant- getting starts not because I'm trying to improve them, but because they're the best men for the job.

One of the players was there when I joined, Fabio Nigro his name (don't bother searching- I'm in 2012 and he is 19), he was not a great player at all. He was 17, and so I decided to put him on the bench and bring him on when I was winning games comfortably. He got better. He is now a regular in the first team on the left wing,been the best player in the first few games of the season, and he is still 'promising', meaning he should get better still. Theres more too. My second and third choice midfielders are 17 and 18 respectively (called Gabriele Corrado and Filippo Masiero). They cost a total of about £200-£250k, are both promising, and they are both shit hot. They have managed to force their way into the midfield of a good Serie B team, ousting players who were regulars in the 4th placed team the year before. Incredible. I'm short on first team strikers due to injury at the moment, and I am playing a 19 year old Englishman, Liam Rose, up front and he has scored 10 in 17 in total for me- most appearances from the bench. And Luca Ferrari, only 17, is also looking bloody good too. There are other youngsters looking good as well.

Anyway, I got to the Serie B Playoff Final in my second season. I was playing Messina, and they finished above me in the league, so they went up if the scores were level after two legs. They went 2-0 up at my place early on, but two penalties from Nigro got me back level. Then in the secong leg, I went behind, equalised, went behind again, and equalised again. I then went for it knowing I had to score but conceded again in stoppage time. Serie B again.

Oh, and I'm still being linked with the best jobs on the game, all after one fluky World Cup. :laugh:
