Footy Manager online game....

[Dr. Bob Kelso]

This time it will work.

I have found an excellent program called "Hamachi" which allows me to set up a Network for people to join when they are playing FM07. This makes the game run a lot better.

All games will run on the official 7.0.2 patch which can be found on the official site downloads list.

Games will not take place when there is a big mid week match on.

Teams will be chosen at random from a pre determined league.

All I need from people are guideline times as to when they will be able to play if interested. Not everyone will be able to play every game and your assistant will have to be relied upon in some cases when you are unable to attend.

If anyone wants a copy of the save and would like to continue the League if I am not present then they are free to do so as long as it is within the pre selected times.

I was thinking 7-10 is a reasonable time for whatever weekdays.

I can pretty much work around other peoples days so just say what you can and can't do.

Cheers.

P.S
I have seen this work on a Liverpool forum where I got the Hamachi prog from and see no reason why we can't get it going.

I'm basically free on all evening nights except weekends. All my classes are during day so 7-10 is no problem and I've played with Hamachi before so I guess know how it works. I got the game, but if it's 7.0.2 then I'll have to download it first.

Anyway, count me in.

Apart from seeing the missus I don't have any evening commitments. What about timezones?

All times will relate to GMT or our time in other words. If anyone has a problem with that, well tough. Sorry.

So you are 7-10 mon-fri ? Obviously you wont make them all but no one will.

it will either be 2 or 3 nights a week probably.

Its a great idea and can easily work. On another forum I visit I have participated in two onlines leagues and they have run smoothly. At first it was La Liga but now it is the premiership. I got allocated Chelsea and was doing real well. The gap at the top of the league was two points between myself and United. We both also went through the Champions League group stages with 6 wins out of 6 and only conceeding once goal. I drew Barca and United drew Ajax. Sadly I missed the game last night and the gap is now ten points.

We play most nights at around nine to eleven and it is enjoyable. The numbers vary from around five/six to up to ten or more at time. Max was fourteen I believe.

Anyway I will possibly participate although will have to look into it. Good luck and if I can be any help just say.

Cheers Marco. Do you have any specific rules on your online games out of interest?

Nope none at all, there is the automatic continue option though that was put on as some people were taking too long.
