Hello,

I have some questions which you guys may be able to help me with.

1) Will the stats for the younger, not-well-known players remain the same in the real game as they are in the Beta demo? (basically, I want to know if I'm wasting my time searching for talent)

2) How do you add players to exchanges when making offers? Sometimes I can, and sometimes I cant. Can you not add them if there's no chance they're interested or something?

3) Where's Balde? I noticed this in CM03/04 and again in the FM2005 beta demo. If I remember correctly, Celtic have (had?) a really kickass defender called Balde but he doesnt seem to be there at all. Has he retired, or moved to somewhere obscure, or refused to let his name be used or something? Or is he just an accidental omission, or is he really there and I'm just being stupid?

Probably really stupid questions, but if anyone knows the answers, please post :p

1: Stats may have changed slightly for the gold version, but not much. Also, the demos have quickstarts, so random settings will not show.

2: In the transfer screen there is a tab called "Players To Exchange". In that tab there is a button "Add v", with the option "other" in the drop down menu. That should give a list of all your players (including loaned in and out players). Right clicking on a white font player gives a list of options, including "Exchange Player". That will add him to the offer.

3: Dianbobo Baldé. He's in the gold demo quickstart for France :p

Dianbobo? isnt it Diandobo? :confused:

Nope, it's Dianbobo :)

Woah, Ruud's getting good at this (H) Thanks :)

Is it just me, but i seem to have trouble arranging friendlies with overseas club during pre-season. :confused:
