Anybody who plays FA Premier Football League Manager 2000, I need help!!!
OK.
the bug is:
when I play for two seasons, suddenly one or two players from my roster suddenly begins to die......
I mean his condition lowers after each game and it never rises. In training, I can't even assign them to anything; it doesn't change it. It stays "rest" every time I try to change their training regimes. and the most thing that bugs me is that noone wants to nuy these players. So, everytime I try to put them in the main squad, they get tired more, but their condition never gets better. What to do? Did anyone have the same kind of problem?

Problem #2:
I clicked on settings and changed options from "none" to "fast view" . then (it was the final game of the third division playoffs. I really needed the win) I clicked next and proceeded the match. It was 1:1 when I scored the goal on the 89th minute. How happy I was! But when the game ended (I won 2:1) on the fixture list it said 2:2. I didn't even see how they scored the goal. I didn't go through, and I got fired....
it looked like computer wanted me to loose.

Do you know of any editors for the game?

PolishPower
28-12-1999, 04:43:AM
Maybe its because of players age? maybe it means that player has to retire?

Pahan

What players age?
Ndekwe from Rushden & Diamonds dies at the age 21. I cannot sell him, or whatever. When you leave the club, the player miracalously convalesces (recoveres).
Don't know what to do

Hi, RR!
Can`t help with those bugs, but can add couple more (in gameplay). I`ve posted a biig message about them in November.
They are: If I score a goal from the penalty area - some opposition player suddenly falls and it says 'foul!'. So, the only kinds of goals I scored were from 30-40 meters, or own goals (which are registered for my players).
And second - passes backwards from the empty opposition goal - I think, it`s goal , but he passes backwards . Anyone seen , or it`s our Soviet 'version'?
That made up my choice for CM3/99/00.
BTW anyone knows, where CMS 99/00 warez is?

Russian Rocket
01-01-2000, 11:13:PM
i never watch how computer plays for my team just because however you wouldn't change tactics, computer will still miss the open goals.

cm 99/00 sucks because it is slow to simulate one day and, without editor, it is hard. also you cannot control team finances.

you can download cm on warez.com
type "gamez" in search and look for the game

Hey guys!
Different kind of question for a change
How do u keep players form up during the season?
Lets talk about the game, not about the bugs
I hate bugs!!!

Russian Rocket
04-01-2000, 01:43:AM
Form up?

You can't. It is just like a average grade for matches. If a player has form 5.00 it means that they didn't play good last matches. I don't think there is a cure.

the game is pretty good when you do not play the game itself. The game really suxxxxxx when you see the game. One time I scored a penalty on the 94th minute and the ref called a free kick against me! I didn't even see what I commited!
So it is hard to jusge the game, although it is pretty good. Also, I hate when I get fired and I should start all over again. Like I died or something. Also, sometimes they fire me for nothing. OK, just pretend:
Kevin Keegan http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif takes over Leek from Dr. Martin's division (2nd conference) and by miracle or his training skills he rises Leek to Conference, then to 3rd division, then to 2nd division and finally to the 1st. In the 1st division, Keegan cannot do anything; ver very very low budget for wages and transfers, lack of money itself, players are very tired and skilless. He losses all games he plays with that kind of atmosphere. So, He gets fired. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
Do you believe that?!?!? It happened to me in the game when I took over Dag & Red. It is like directors do not have a soccer sense: you take the freaking stupid, amateur team out of nowhere, make it look like something and you get fired!?! How stupid is that! No freaking logic!
OK, as you said, no bugs, but it is very very interesting, the game looks like my old Premier Manager 99 of Actua Sports, which I hate for get firing for nothing. EA should really make a patch!

Cheers,!

Basten10
10-01-2000, 10:43:PM
Hey, dudes

Yeah, game has a lot of bugs, and little logic sometimes, but i dont want to talk about it, its depressing.
As for players form..... Thats what i thought in the beginning too, form colomn shows just how player performed in the last game.... but its not only that. I had players with form of 10, and they were scoring every game...... when players form dropped to 6, they started playing like **** and they couldnt do anything, didnt score for games, and so on. But players with less skills but higher form played much better!!!
And if it was just a grade for that particular game, player wouldnt perform well in the next few games, and the grade would jump from 5 for one game to 9 for another. but it doesnt!!! it slowly moves either up or down U can take a ****ty player with a high form and put him in for your star player with a low form, and your ****ty player is going to perform better.
And also i still think that by traning u can keep your players form up. I m just not sure how to do it yet. But there is a way if u train them sertain way. As of right now i think that u should train players like that..... fitness-position-fitness-techneque-fitness-position-fitnes-technique... and so on....this way i was able to get better results. But this is not the best way i bet!!!
Another question........ what type of training develops what in players?!?!?!
I test everything on my youth players... when player works on his fitness, i thought that this should increase his speed, but it doesnt, although his strength goes up rather easily. How do u increase your players shooting, passing etc.???
Oh, and i know for sure that when your training mode is technique, your players "set pieces" goes up, but control, what i was really trying to increase, stays the same. Weird.........
So what does develops what in your player???
As for budjets.......... i think that budjet increases as your income increases.... thats the only way. But it will take a long long time, and u cant take a loan out in this game to develop a stadium for example.
Right now i have 11+thousand capacity on my stadium, my ticket prices are as high as i can get them, wich is 11 for 3rd division i think(not sure), my stadium is full for every game, but i cant develop my stadium to get more fans in!!! Any ideas on how to increase your clubs income?
Oh, yeah..... another thing.... for conference, 3rd and i think even 2nd division Nikol is a good buy... hi costs like 46K with a listed skill of 44, cetral defender, but when u move him up to DM or CM, his skill is 55
Giraldo is also a good buy, young and develops ok.
K, waiting for your answers and new ideas http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

For hints as how to play the game go to this URL:http://www.premierleaguemanager.com/. As far as for form, you have to rest the players whose form are decreased each time they play a match. Go to training and have them train for fitness between match. It's best to have a big squad so you can play different players to have the whole squad fit to play many matches. This is true of big clubs. One thing that bother me about the game is the Non EU players. They are cheap to buy compared to Europeans with the same skill level but after one season, I have to sell them because they always get their work permit denied. This is true for even big stars like Rivaldo. So don't bother buying foreigners. That's one thing I hate about the game and the match view thing. But other than that, I prefer it to CM 99/00 because you don't have to spend an hour playing a match and deal with every stats imaginable to football.

Basten10
11-01-2000, 04:38:PM
To AgentOrange

To have your NON EU player work permit renewed he has to play in at least of 75% of your team matches. I always have 3-4 NON EU players on my team and i have no problems renewing their work permit if they play alot

I want to know:
1. What type of traning develops what in your players?
2. How do u develop your players skills faster? This way u wont have to buy new players and will not overspend wages and thus increase your profits
3. The most important one right now for..... How to increase your teams profits?
If u get promoted it is vital to have more money or your team is always gonna suck and u wont be able to get anything done, even build your stadium, get fired, start the game over, do it for a few times, get tired of it and forget all about the game

bye

PS Russian Rocket, if u cant change the topics name, do it, because we stopped talking about bugs long time ago http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Oh, one more thing.... I finished my first season, first place in 3rd division. Got promoted to 2nd division, already overspent players wages. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/wink.gif My stadium is full beyond its full capacity (11,500 capacity, i have 11700 for every game), my ticket prices are max, which is 18, but i dont make enough money!!! We ll see what happens http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/wink.gif

Russian Rocket
11-01-2000, 08:11:PM
Also, a good buy is Borysenko.
When you begin playing with a team from 2nd or 1st division, go to Transfer list, Non EU players and find a player named Borysenko from CSKA Kyiv. If you buy him for 500,000 pounds, his skill will rise from 56 or 58 to 61. Also, a guy from Wrexham, named Jones has the skill of 28. If you put him as a CF, his skill will rise to 45, or something. In a year, his skill is gonna be 50, or something.
You cannot change a player's skills faster because a player's skill rises or decreases when he gets older. It rises when he gets older to the age of 29. Then, it decreases.
Not to overspend players' wages, you need to go to Business, overview. Then, subtract projected from remaining in Players' wages. Then, divide what's left by number of weeks left in your season. The number you'll get is gonna be how much money you have for players' wages.
Oh, how do you increase players' shooting or passing? I don't know, but I can guess that for example a player is an attacker, you make him train like "attacking". I thing it increases his shooting, finishing, speed, etc. If a player is a defender, you make him train as a "defensive". It increases his Tackling, etc. I dunno, but I think that what it means.
Actually, you can use cheats for getting more money. But the more money cheat increases your transfer, development budgets, but it doesn't increase your players' wages. There is no point in that!
So, I have a question too:
Have you ever played a friendly game? I didn't. And to CM fans: can you propose friendlies to other teams? If yes, then how?
OK, I cannot change a topic's name. I was going to talk about bugs in here... http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
Cheers,

PLEASE AT LEAST TELL US IF THERE IS ONE IN DEVELOPMENT!! IF YOU CAN FIX UP THE FEW BUGS YOU HAVE A REAL MATCH WINNING GAME!!!

AgentOrange
12-01-2000, 12:54:AM
To Basten10:
Thanx for the info about the Non EU players. To answer your questions:
1 and 2 go hand in hand. I don't know what type of training increase what skills. I experience with the different types of training base on the players position (I.e. a midfielder- I would train fitness, technique, midfield. Also if he is an attacking midfield than attack). But you also have to have coaches for these type of training to work. So you have to hire technique, fitness, attack, goalkeeping, defensive,and midfielder coaches. But then you need to have a training facilities and a youth academie inorder to be able to hire these coaches.
2. All of these couldn't be achieved without a big budget. All I can tell you is that I hex edit to get a big budget in order to get the squad I wanted. Also use the cheats that EA provided at the www.premierleaguemanager.com under masterclass. Hope that help.

Basten10
13-01-2000, 02:18:AM
Hi

See, guys, i dont want to use cheats
I wanna do it the right way. But the main thing for me is money. I got to get more money for my team, or i wont be able to develop players, stadium, etc.
Is there a way to do it without using cheats?
Btw, i strted playing in the second division.... tough, very tough

Take care

13-01-2000, 04:05:AM
Actually, it is very very very easy to get promoted from the 2nd division when begin playing there. But it is very hard when you get promoted to the next level. For example, I took over Daghenham & Redbridge when they got promoted to the Conference (without me-- I trained other team). It was pretty easy to stay in the conference and then, I promoted to 3rd division. It was easy playing too, when I got promoted to the 2nd division. Then. When I looked over my rosters, and Barnet's rosters (they got promoted with me) I saw that their roster is much much much better than mine. In two seasons, I collected a good roster, and Dag & Red is in 1st division. I began losing every game; there was nothing I could do--all teams had gods in their rosters.
Yes, there is other way... to crack the game. I got a letter from a guy, who already hexedited and changed his teams budget. But he explained it very unclearly, and nothing worked on my verison.................... Although it is called cheating, too. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/redface.gif

Hey Russian Rocket

See, i dont want to get into the game in order to change it and win. I wanna play by their rules and win.
My problem is the money. I dont have enough to build any external buildings, thus my team develops very slowly. Then if u get promoted, i got to buy more good players, and then i overspend my wages. Right now i play in a second division, i m somewhere in the middle of the table and my team is one of the better ones player skill wise in the second division.
As i said, it is not hard to win, but i cant make money!!! How do u make money in that freaken game?!?!?! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif Its like u have to sit in one league for 10 years to make enough money for your team.
Oh, and also, i m not sure, but when your player stops doing anything in the following season, he might be unhappy or something, u got to increase his contract. It might not be a bug. I m not sure though.
There is a way to give players bonuses. Do u know how?

Take care

13-01-2000, 10:02:PM
Russian Rocket, and you say this game is good?
In the whole 'technical queries' (Normal people say 'bug reports') forum on Cm3.com you`ll find lesser posts, than replies here http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif From the number near your topic, we can say: it`s buggy as hell http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
And there are no Borysenkos in real CSKA Kyiv http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif or is that your 33rd season?
BTW in CM3 Alexei Alyakrinsky from Spartak
is called 'Alyakrinsky Alexey' , and 50 percent of the newly generated young players have a first name 'Alyakrinsky' (other 50% are Prizetko or some 'Inal Modzahedov')
And how do you (as a Russian) like polish keeper Bledzewski?
Sorry for long offtopic http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Russian Rocket
13-01-2000, 11:14:PM
to Basten10:
you can add bonuses in players' contracts. Like "We ahve prepared to pay you 2,200 pounds per annum..."
and under that there are a lot of clauses. You can find a goal, assist and game bonuses in there. Fun.

Actually, every year there is a different story. Sometimes you can get lucky with sponsor. Sometimes not. When I took over Dag & Red in Conference, my stupid business consultant got a sponsor for 5 (!!!) years who generated some pennies per year. So, my fifnancial crisis was because of that. You should count stuff, actually, before going in the red. Just read my 2 last messages.
BTW, have you ever played a friendly game?

2Rostislav:
Ummmmmmm....
Borysenko was in CSKA Kyiv the same reason Kuzmichev was the main striker in Spartak in FIFA 2000. I mean, perhaps he is a reserve player in real CSKA Kyiv squad, you never know. And with Alyakrinsky bug I noticed that a lot time ago.
In CM, they have another bug; have you heard of team named Asmaral? Yes, they played in Russian Premier League in 1992 and 1993, but then, they got relegated to 1st, then 2nd divisions consequently. Now they play in KFK, Moscow State League. What the hell are they doing in CM 3 and CM 99/00? I mean, the team has relegated to whatever league it played in.


OK, enough, cheers http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/eek.gif

17-01-2000, 05:46:PM
Hey, guys

Russian Rocket
To play a friendly game u have to go to tables/calendar, then u right click on the day u want to play your friendly, and it will give u a list of teams that u can play with. But.... you can only play friendly games in a preseason, which is first month of your season(in english league at least)
if u still cant do it, tell me, but its pretty easy... u cant play friendly matches once the season starts, and if u have a break in a season, there is nothing you can do about it, cant play.... only the first month or so before u play your first regular season or cup match

Oh, another thing....... the bug that u were talking about, when players stop playing.....
i m not sure its a bug!!! we got to call ea sports or that support # in a booklet. But i live in usa and i dont want to call there, to be honest with you http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif But i had one player who stopped playing right in the middle of the season http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
cant sell him also. But i m testing something... i keep one cheap player on my team who doesnt practice to see if he will start in the new season
we ll see.....

WHERE DO U GET THE MONEY FOR YOUR TEAM?!?!?!?!?

take care

Russian Rocket
18-01-2000, 04:39:AM
yeah, yeah I will try...
I do not play the game frequently, 'cause I just hate when I get fired for nothing. Also, the game crashes too often. For example, it crashes when I try to buy a player (I click "approach player" and I go straight to......desktop). All I can is to sign players on the free transfer. One time, in my youth team, I had players with skill of 59. That was so great, but they had the same positions. Can you believe that? Two guys at the age of 15 became the leaders in m team.
OK, bad stuff:
check this screenshot out:
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Castle/9096/images/DugRed.jpg
that is the roster of my team in the first division
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Castle/9096/images/Millwall.jpg
that is the roster of the team that got promoted with me. See the difference?
http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Castle/9096/images/1div.jpg here's the 1st div. table
pretty funny, huh? check out the date, too...
Actually, I didn't have a lot of problems promoting to 3rd and 2nd division, but I really SUCK when I try to play in the 1st. I didn't play the game for about a week.
Thanx for the friendlies tip.

Russian Rocket...

I played with Rotherham(or however u spell it) Got promoted to the 2nd division my first season. In th second division i got alot of good players for free on my team... by good i mean everybody on my team is over 47, and good ones are 55-59, one is 60. I didnt buy them, got them for free. But i overspent my players wages. So here is what happened... with 10 games left in the season i was 5 points behind the 1st plase team. Then i got fired for overspending players wages. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
Oh, in the middle of the season one of my players stopped playing (your bug perhaps, or maybe thats the way it is supposed to be?
Now i started new season with York... i want to try and stay in the 3 division for a couple of years and make some money before i go to the second one. We ll see

Russian Rocket
27-01-2000, 01:34:AM
OK, Everybody!
THE BEST BUY YOU WILL EVER MAKE IS KORNAUKHOV FROM CSKA MOSCOW;
HIS OVERALL SKILL IS 84, BUT HIS REAL SKILL IS 43 (84 IS WHEN HE PLAYS CENTRAL DEFENDER, AND 43 IS WHEN HE PLAYS ANC AND DM). HE COSTS ONLY ABOUT 40,000, AND HIS WAGE IS ABOUT 500 PER WEEK, BUT WHEN YOU PUT HIM AT THE CD POSITION, HIS SKILL WILL RISE UP TO 84. HE IS THE BEST BUY YOU CAN EVER MAKE.
OK, I played about 6-10 games, and everytime I got that bug: I cannot buy players. I can sign them, but I cannot buy them.
My best game was when I took over Dagenham and Redbridge in conference, and I got promoted to 1st division in 3-4 years.
Also, I played with Wrexham AFC, and I got promoted to the Premier Division.
Now I am playing with Merthyr Tydfil, and I am in hte 1st division. I hope I will finish playing in the Premiership!
I love the game, but it crashes, and all I want to do after it does is to brake the CD in pieces.

Basten10
28-01-2000, 06:02:AM
Ok, guys...
Here is the problem that i have in my second season.... All of a sudden in the middle of the season 3 of my good players stopped playing!!! I really dont think this is a bug!
It might be, but i m not sure. We got to get our english friends to call that number in the book, the hint line or something like that and ask about it.

Russian Rocket Kornaukhov.. thanks, i ll check him out. Oh, one more thing... Try defender name Ata. He is good, develops 7 poings in the first season i think, and his price triples. But u got to buy him right away. His original price is 178K, and in about 2 weeks it is over 300K

Take care

PS The biggest thing i hate about this game is that even when u get fired u have to start over, and not contnue the game.
BTW.. Did anybody tried to apply for a job in another club of a higher division or had any offers for it? Did it work at least once when u applied?

Russian Rocket
29-01-2000, 03:36:AM
OK, I will check ata.
There is another good buy, David Jones from Wrexham AFC. If you play in terrible leagues, such as conference, or third division, you have to buy this guy. His price is about 15k, and Wrexham will surely sell it to you. He is special because his overall skill on AM postion is about 28-30. And I think it rises up later in the seasons. But when you put him to play as the center forward, his overall skill will rise to 49-50-55. And on his borthday, his skill rises a lot. His birthday in the game is approximately November 16 -- on that day his skill will rise that day.
And, I had the same bug: sometimes some players dissapear from my team. It is allright if a player with 20's skill will dissappear, but I really hate when my best player dissappears. When you type their names in the player search, it will tel you that theyt are in my team, but when I go to TEAM --> SQUAD, I don't see them in there. the good thing is that you can sell them.
And about calling them in England -- it would be better to e-mail them, but I do not think they will respond.

BTW, Does anybody know anything about FA Premier Football League Manage 2001?

See ya,

29-01-2000, 06:12:AM
Just a question about this game, is it possible to make up a squad of whatever players you choose and play them in the game?

Just asking because someone had idea of simulating a combined roster Rome(Lazio and Roma) vs Milan (AC and Inter)game.

Russian Rocket
30-01-2000, 01:31:PM
Whatta do you mean? I mean, you can buy whoever you want, so the answer is yes, if you meant that, PP.

PolishPower
31-01-2000, 04:50:AM
I mean is it possible for you to buy players without restrictions, because I imagine if they put restrictions such as you dont have enough money for transfer fees or if the players refuse to join then it would be pretty difficult to buy half of Lazio's players.

So I guess what Im asking is it possible theoretically to lets say be manager of Roma and then go buy most of Lazio's best players? Would you have enough money in your budget to do that?

Russian Rocket
01-02-2000, 12:52:AM
Teoreticaly, you can buy all players you want. I mean it is possible, but every managment game has the restrictions with money. For example, ALL AC milan players will cost you a lot of money. The maximum amount of transfer money I saw was 20 million pounds (of course, you can sell some player and get more). But there is only one thing I REALLY HATE about CM 99/00 and FA Premier Football League Manager 2000 is that your chairman gives you some money for wages, stadium upgrade, etc. So, for example, you want to buil a good stadium. But your chairmen gives you a lot of transfer money instead. That what I really hate. You are the manager, and I think you can control finances too. Maybe this should help.

Ummm, read your booklet and they have evrything in there. And, unfortunately, there are no sites about the game.

BUT HERE'S A LITTLE TIP HOW YOU CAN SAVE MILLIONS ON PLAYER WAGES:
At the end of the season, and the last week of the season, actually start signing free agents. And, as I counted, for the last week of the season you usually have have a lot of money, and zero pounds to pay your players because it is the end of the season. So, usually when it is June 18-23 start signing free agents. Here what might be a problem: if you will sign a high wage player on, for example june 27th, those players will come to your team in july, which means you will get fired. So, make sure you see the players you signed in your team roster before the game will set up another season. But sign them as late as possible to the end of the season. With this kind of tactic (it's not cheating!) I have got promoted to the Premieship from the conference. Vheck this creenshot out:
http://britania.newmail.ru/images/screenMerthyrTydfil.jpg

See the team at the 10th place. Recognize? Yeas, Merthyr Tydfil, which plays in under-conference leagues now. When they got promoted to the conference, in my second season, I took over the club and got promoted up to the Premiership! I even beat Arsenal 4:3 at the Highbury! I didn't use the cheat nor hexediting -- I just used the money making tactic I wrote before. So, I can be called an "expert" in this game. Tell me what you think about the screenshot, please.

Whoa, I thought everybody was over this already. Believe me, this is my 10th time I post FAPFLM 2000 cheats here.
So, to access the cheat, you will need to right click the FM desktop icon and choose properties. In the "Target" section, the required cheat should be typed onto the end of the line. Multiple cheats can be put here, but make sure to put a space between each one.
/fastbuild777 - Quick building of external buildings/stadiums
/showstat777 - Show off the stats of other players without researching them
/cash777 - Gives you more money at the beginning of any season. Sometimes doesn't work, and, sometimes, you do not know if it is working. But it surely works, when, for example you take ove a 3rd division team and stay in the division -- at the beginning of the next season you will have lots of money. And, if you are new, please read the tips that are posted in this topic -- they will surely help you.

I am tired of the game, by the way. If you will look at the screenshot I posted in my previous topic, you will see that I really went too far with the game. Now, I am trying to hexedit it...

HI,
I`m new member on this forum.
I`d like to say that FAPLM2000 is basicly a good game, but so many bugs which you folks are been numbered before.
But I must say that concept of the game is very nice if only 3d engine is improved litlle to be like fifa 96 or premier manager 98 or so.
I must inform you that I have solution for yours financial problems transfer fond, development and so. So if you want to "now how" mail me at slowhandid@rocketmail.com or mail above.
So long for now !

Yes I would like to hear about your "solving money probem". ButI have a few tips, too, which I posted in here before. And, since you are new, would please look at the screenshot I posted here couple posts before and tell me what you think about it.
So, I tried hexediting. I got a letter from Stephen Cooper, the guy that is managing a German FIFA Site. He had recieved the letter from other guy, named Bolso. The letter contained how to hexedit the game, basicaly, but it never worked out for me. I am still trying, though. If you want the letter, e-mail me at dmitri@www.com
The letter really is tough to understand because the guy who worte it was not an Englishman.
And about "non" hexediting tips:
I have listed this tip before: At the end of the season, and the last week of the season, actually start signing free agents. And, as I counted, for the last week of the season you usually have have a lot of money, and zero pounds to pay your players because it is the end of the season. So, usually when it is June 18-23 start signing free agents. Here what might be a problem: if you will sign a high wage player on, for example june 27th, those players will come to your team in july, which means you will get fired. So, make sure you see the players you signed in your team roster before the game will set up another season. But sign them as late as possible to the end of the season. As you can see that I posted this tip before.
Other kinds of tips are really simple, but they work.

The stupidiest bug in the game is that when you get promoted to the Premiership from 3rd or 2nd divisions, players from the teams that started higher than yours will not come to you. I was trying to buy Benjamin from Cambridge Utd. when I was playing with Wrexham in the Premiership, and he never came to my club when I was about to buy him. The same was with other First division players. It's like they do not want to play in English Premier League.

So, if you have some tips I didn't hear about, Johny, please feel free to post them here.

Cheers,

johny

My bugs are:
1.When Yorke takes a penalty he changes into Giggs
2.A striker can be two yards out miss and then scoop the rebound high and wide this happens about 100000000000000 each game
3.When I make subsitutes my goalie runs around the pitch like he is an out field player
4.I joined a club as manager but then the game said I was laready manager and crashed this happened 3 times

I am Hexediting too. To change the budged is easy but I have a hard time to find my player stats. I use the A.X.E Editor like the letter says but I can't find them!
I also found out that you can change the income for each month but it doesn't do anything to the budget! Even if your income is 999.999.999 each month.
Can someone tell me how to find the player stats, and how to change them?
By the way I have the german version!

YEs, I was complaining, I should say that CM is a tactic game! You answered, like I said something bad about you, your country, etc. If you are talking about CM, then good for you! But the first managment game I ever played was Premier Manager 99 of Actua Sports, and there you controled everything. Chairmen only could fire/hire you.
About CM Series, the game is slow and it is pretty hard to play without editing the game. I agree, FAPFLM 2k has more bugs, but anyways. And I finished complaining about CM a long time ago. CM 99/00 is a great game, but just do not wish to play it.

Hey gang!

I havent had a chance to play the game much lately, but i just won 3 division and got promoted to the second. Again, i am facing the same problems. I dont make enough money to move to the next level and some players on my team stop playing all of a sudden.
And it doesnt just happen at the end of the season, it also happens in the middle. Some of my players develop pretty well and their price goes up 3-4 times. But their contracts stay the same!!! What would a player do in a real world if he plays like Zedane and he gets 700 a week??? He would go on strike or something, thats what i would do... But!!!! I tried to encreas those players wages, amended their contracts and they agreed to my offer, but they didnt start playing! On my teams players who stop playing are either players who dont play alot or players whose price increased alot with no increas in their wages. But why dont they start playing after u give them good contract??? Somebody has to either call EA europe, the phone number is in the booklette or we have to find their email and email them with that question!!! Anybody lives in england?!?!?! Call them, or lets find their email!!! I m not sure this is a bug, but even if it is, maybe they have a patch to fix it.
On a good side.... when a player stops playing, u cant sell or loan him out.... but!!! you can trade him for another player!!! What i also have done was i released a player and theh bought him right back, the transfer value is 0. The only downside is u have to pay signing bonus, and if it is a really good player your chairman wouldnt let u free transfer him out.
But this is a stupid way, there must be a better way

I dont care so much about buying new players, i just want to get my existing players to play for me http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

Jonhny, i sent u an email and asked u to explain how do u get around you financial problems. Can u just post it in the forum here?

Hey, Basten!
The game is very easy! I do not even know why does it look so hard! I mean, it is easy to play in 3rd English division, and then get promoted to 2nd division. But when you get promoted to Premiership, things really begin to look hard -- I played with Carlisle, and I got promoted from 3rd div. to the English Premiership, but then it really sucked -- when I wanted to buy a player, the players reject me. For example, a second division player didn't want to leave his 2nd division team for Premiership, where my team was playing. That really sucked! But, Basten, I posted a good tip how to save millions on player wages before, read the beginning of page two of this post.

I tried to hexedit the budget (stadium money), as that letter that I got from Steve Cooper said. But when I went to the game, I had 0 pounds for it! I do not know how the hexediting worked out for some people.

OK, see ya everybody

13-02-2000, 11:02:AM
Hi !
This cheat realy works so try it !
If somebody can help me with calculate offsets I can rearange hole thing!

Use a Hex Editor and open the saved game you wish to edit.

In the "Edit " menu, select "Go To" and specify the "offset" to edit.

The "offset" are as follows:

"Misc" - 00F16225

"Transfers" - 00F161F5

"Buildings/Stadium" - 00F1621D

"Player Wages" - 00F161D5

"Staff Wages" - 00F161BD

"Maintenance/Facilities" - 00F161FD

Simply type over the Hex String at the above offsets with 65CD BD41
Save when you're done, start and load the game you´ve just edit and you will have aprox 500000000 pounds.

This only works if you start new game,I mean

1. Start the game F.A. Premier League Football Manager 2000.
2. Pick your team and change the Manager name if you want to.
3. When you’re in the game, save it.
4. Exit F.A. Premier League Football Manager 2000.
.
and when you start new season you must do it all over again beacouse you will not have any "big" money only what yours club initaly have so all your players who have big wages or staff or anything else be in minus (-) so you get fired.


E-mail me if it works !
Best regards !

Hi !

I found one other cheat but I did` t try it yet
Postet by someone call Van Gogh

It's possible to prioritize budgets! There is a little file on the PLFM - CD, the name is "tweaks.twk". Look at the file with an editor, Notepad or so. Copy it to your harddrive and change the values you wish. It works! Have Fun! VanGogh


Best regards!

13-02-2000, 10:45:PM
Yeah, Basten!
I tried this tip and it worked. I mean there was a guy with skill of 55 and at the age of 16. I knew that he would develope quickly. I wanted to buy him and the other team agreed. Than, in 3 years, his average skill was 71. I bought him at the price the team agreed on two years ago! But sometimes the player goes to other team in two years. I didn't try that.

and Johny!
that tweaks.twk does it have to do anything with the save game? where should I copy it? in my "games" folder in FAPLM 2000 directory?
Thanx, bye everybody!

14-02-2000, 12:39:AM
HEY, EVERYBODY!!!
I HAVE FOUND A WAY HOW TO CHANGE YOUR STADIUM.
FOR EXAMPLE YOU DO NOT LIKE THE MAP OF YOUR STADIUM.

FOR EXAMPLE YOU PICKED YORK IN ENGLISH TIRD DIVISION AND YOU DON'T LIKE THE MAP OF YOU STADIUM. SO
JUST GO TO YOUR STADIUM FOLDER IN YOUR FAPLM 2000 DIRECTORY. GO TO "MAPS" AND FIND THE STADIUM YOU LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE BARCELONA'S. JUST COPY AND PASTE THE FILE "barcelona.MAP" AND RENAME IT TO "Stoke.MAP", THEN GO TO YOUR GAME AND LOOK ON YOUR STADIUM. IT IS AS HUGE AS BARCELONA'S!
ONE PROBLEM, THOUGH -- THE CAPACITY OF YOUR STADIUM DOESN'T CHANGE. SO IF YOU CHANGED STOKE'S STADIUM MAP TO BARCELONA'S, YOU WILL HAVE BARCELONA'S STADIUM INSTEAD OF YOURS, BUT IT WILL STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL STOKE'S STADIUM CAPACITY.

btw
Johny, your hexediting didn't work. I tried to hexedit stadium/development budget and changed everything you told us to, but it saud that I had 0 pounds for stadium/development. Can you tell me the problem? And the same effect was when I tried to hexedit what that letter I sent you told me.

Hey guys

My main consern is players that stop playing at the end, beginning or middle of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a good tip for transfers... if u want to buy a player that u cant afford right now, but u know that he is going to develop, young player lets say, right off the bet u negotiate a price for him. When the other team agrees to sell him for a sertain price, u just keep this email in you email box, and in a few years, when u have money, and player develops, u buy him from that team for the price that u agreed on long time ago http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

But i dont care about that!!! i want my players to play and honor their contracts!!!
Is there an email so i could email EA and ask them about it?!?!? This is more important to me right now then winning preimership http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

hey, pater
I tried to hexedit the budget with A.X.E, and I found the offsets, but when I changed it, in the game I had 0 pounds. So I think that it works, but can you tell me what numbers to edit?
And "tweaks.twk", I didn't find the file. Where the hell is it on the CD.


OK, Basten,
I had that story million times, when my players lower their condition and it never rises back. You know what I did? I just put them in the roster with that kind of condition, and I was winning as I was winning before, so I do not really think that it matters.

Pater
15-02-2000, 03:00:AM
I can't tell you the offset because I think they change all the time!
First you have to write down each amount of your budget,save the game, make a copy and open the save game with A.X.E Hexeditor. Click on View-Show Base Convertor and type the the amount you have written down in the DOUBLE box! Now you will get the hex in the top left corner. Copy it and klick on EDIT-FIND. Past the amount in the search box and klick on RAW HEX BYTES. You will find each balance twice. Short after another. Change both to the amount you want to have.
Just convert your amount into hex and change the original to your own. You will always get a 41 at the end. Do not change the 41. If the original has 4 hex numbers (e.g. 12 34 56 41) and your new he has five (12 34 56 78 41), start one "00" earlier. So that you don't change the 41.
old: 00 00 00 00 00 12 34 56 41 00 00
new: 00 00 00 00 12 34 56 78 41 00 00
Remember change both hex numbers. And don't go to high with your amount. 2.000.000.000 is okay I think. If it is too high you start with a negative amount. If you need more money just do the same thing over and over again. But wait until your balance is under 1.000.000.000 !
Another thing I found out is that it is hard to find the maintance budget. Type it into the double box and look for something similar to your hex. It should be two offsets down or up of the other balances. Most of the time the first hex differs.
I hope you understood everything.
Pater! But be carefull!

Oh, yeah, that is one of the most stupidiest bugs in the whole game -- somehow for some reason you cannot save money throught seasons. you must spend your money in the season, or else they will be lost on the next season. That was when I took over Manchester United just to win the game, I sold Beckham, Irwin, Cole, Yorke, Taibi, Solkjaer and others, and I got 50 million pounds on them. I didn't spend these money, and on the next season, instead of getting the same money on transfers, I get 15 million pounds. It's like the director steals them or something.

Oh, do u know how to buy players who are out of contract, because most of them just resign just before the season is over with clubs, and never go to free agency.

FAPFLM 2000 of EA SUCKS ASS!!!!!!!!!!
If you think that the game is cool, you are complete moron, or else you didn't play the game enough.
1st: You cannot save your money throught the seasons -- at the beginningof each season you get new money.
2nd: I took over Wrexham (English 2nd div.) and got promoted to the Premiership, and even came on 5th place. Guess what? When I tried to buy a player from lower divisions, they didn't come to my team. I had a lot of wage money, and one player was from Cambridge Utd., second division (Benjamin, or however you spell his name), and I gave him 30,000 pounds per week, but he didn't come to my team "I looked on your offer and decided to stay at my present club. But thanx for the offer anyway". What's **** was he talikng about?!?!??!?!? He decided to stay in 2nd division? And the same was with players with overall skill of 68 or higher from ANY club of the world. I beat Manu, Arsenal and was on the 5ht place of the Premiership, but noone from sh*tty teams wanted to come to my team for A HUGE WAGE. All I did was that I bought young players, and they developed great, but anyways....

So, the game crashes a lot -- sometimes it crashes when I try to buy a non EC player.

Simply, IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S
Pater, I tried, but it didnt't work. I mean, I wrote everything down, found the hexcode, but when I clicked edit --> find and the hexcode, it said "no string found"

Hey guys,

If you have a good stadium (i play for Inter and there are 85000 seats)you can gain 32000000$ only by season tickets sells.

set the number of tickets to 36000
and the price to 900$
now you should have the money.

I'm not sure maybe for a team of 3rd division it doesn't work but for Inter...

The best players in the game are Denilson and Woodgate: their skill will be 95 and 93 in a couple of seasons. So if u have the money buy them as soon as possible.

Does anyone know how to gain much money for transfers?

27-02-2000, 09:49:AM
Well, Nik, if you will play the game ebough starting in 3-4 divisions, you will realize how the game sucks. I am not talking that the game is difficult -- it's pretty easy, I have the tactic that I use to have enough budgets, a good stadium map, etc. Hexediting never worked out for me, and that's what I am trying to do now.
OK, the main reason why the game SUCKS:
I started to play in English Second Division taking over Wrexham AFC. Everything was easy, but somehow I couldn't buy players with overall skill of 68 and higher. It was ok, I bought other players and they had a pretty good potential.
these guys are:

Sitku from Ferencvarnosh (Hungrary) - this guy has a tremendous potential. his overall skill rises to 89 from 61 in 5-6 years

Twiss from Manchester United - the same as Sitku, has a tremendous potential

Danysz from Chesterfield - from 55 at the age of 18, his overall skill rises to 77 when he gets older, when he gets 26-27

Howarth from York - As Danysz, his overall skill rises from 58 when he is 18 to 73 when he is 26-27 years old.

Kornaukhov from CSKA Moscow - costs about 50,000 pounds just because his overall skill is about 40 when he plays as a ANC or SW, but when you put him as a central defender, his overall skill suddenly changes into 82-83.

Wiemer from some regional german club - the same as Kornaukhov, his skill will rise to 71 when he plays Central defender. His overall skill will never change through the years, I mean when he will get older, the skill will remain.

Valois from Lille, or some other French club -- this guy's overall skill will suddenly change into 73 when he is gonna play as a striker. Certainly, doesn't cost that much for a player of that level just because his skill is 53-54 when he plays AM (AM is his original position).

there are a lot of others, too,


and with these players I got promoted to 1st division and to the Premiership. I even won the Premiership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, then, I wen to Cambridge Utd in my 7th season to buy a guy named Benjamin with the overall skill of 84. Cambridge was in 2nd division. Cambridge agreed on a certain price, but the player said "I looked over your proposal and decided to stay at my present club. But thankx for the offer anyway..."
It's like he didn't to leave his club for a MUCH HIGHER wage (his wage was about 15,000 pounds per week, but I wanted to give him a car, house and 45,000 pounds wage!!!) and he didn't want to play for the champions of the Premiership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the thing is that in the data, my club starts lower than Cambridge, so everything should remain. As you see, you cannot buy a player with overall skill of 68 or higher from a club that is at higher postion, division, etc than you. the problem is that everything remains as it was at the beginning, and even if I will win the premier league with a team that started playing in a lower divisions (York, for example) I won't be able to buy a player with overall skill of 68 or higher from the club that started at higher division than you, but when you won the premiership, they were in lower division. I REALLY HOPE THAT EVERYBODY GETS WHAT I AM SAYING.

another thing is that when you have a lot of transfer money, and you do not spend it, you cannot spend it on stadium. In real life, manager goes to chairman and talks with him about it, for example "let's not spend the money on transfer, let's build a good stadium". But in the game, chairman just gives you money and he doesn't want to negotiate with you.

And, as I said before, you can't save money through seasons -- at the start of the new season you get new money, read two of my previous posts about it..

Well, this should be enough, see ya everybody


P.S thanx for bringing this topic up. Looks like it is the hottest one around here

damn, I wrote a lot!!! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

and Basten, I bought Kuzmichev and Sidelnikov

I just took over Man Utd and the first thing I did was I went to Spartak and offered 10 million pounds for Kuzmichev and 10 million pounds for Sidelnikov. Spartak agreed. Also, I sold almost all players (inlcuding Cole, Yorke, Beckham, Stam, Bosnich, Gary Neville, Philip Neville and others) and bought Denilson for 40 million pounds. that was in the same season. then, I took over other club and watched how Man. Utd progressed over seasons. They sucked. they had too much non-u.s players, including Sidelnikov, who was the only goalie. As the goalie, computer put Giggs, not Sidelnikov, because I bought 3 russians (sidelnikov, kuzmichev and khlestov) and Denilson and Kuzmichev, Khlestov and Denilson all were better than sidelnikov. So, the goalie was Giggs with overall skill of 4. Manu lost their games like 9:3, 6:3, etc and got relegated .

damn, I wrote a lot!!! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

and Basten, I bought Kuzmichev and Sidelnikov

I just took over Man Utd and the first thing I did was I went to Spartak and offered 10 million pounds for Kuzmichev and 10 million pounds for Sidelnikov. Spartak agreed. Also, I sold almost all players (inlcuding Cole, Yorke, Beckham, Stam, Bosnich, Gary Neville, Philip Neville and others) and bought Denilson for 40 million pounds. that was in the same season. then, I took over other club and watched how Man. Utd progressed over seasons. They sucked. they had too much non-u.s players, including Sidelnikov, who was the only goalie. As the goalie, computer put Giggs, not Sidelnikov, because I bought 3 russians (sidelnikov, kuzmichev and khlestov) and Denilson and Kuzmichev, Khlestov and Denilson all were better than sidelnikov.

to change his name isn't hard, it's easy with hexediting:
In your HEX editor open up core.str and then using your editors search option do an ANSI String search for the players name you want to edit and then just change the letters in then ANSI part of the HEX file change the origanal players name thats there to the players name you want and the editor will put the HEX code in for you.

to download a hexeditor, go to http://www.kahei.com http://www.ultraedit.com

please tell me if it worked, 'cause I never tried to change players' names

and Nik, I can send you the tutorial how to hexedit the game. Although it didn't work for me because it is written pretty unclearly, but I know people who accomplished that. If you want it, email me at dmitri@www.com

Ok, Vasco!

If you don't want your player's work permit to be denied (for example Weah's), Weah must play 75% of games HE IS ELIGIBLE FOR. Injuries won't count. And look over your game CD if you have a non-warez version. I think in "Autorun" folder on your CD there is a readme.txt file that has a lot of tips you can really use.

I don't like the game much, read my last posts............

Russian Rocket

yeah, and if you have work permit denied, you must sell the player. But I am not 100% sure about what I wrote on my last post because I usually play in English Leagues. English leagues are different than Italian.

How exactly do I edit the player stats in the game ?

P.S.- Please Help !

Hey!
I would like to help -- although I haven't played the game in a while, I still accomplished a lot in it and played for a pretty long period of time. Well, it took me long enough to realize that the game stinks.

Ok, so, would please state your problem more clarly, smelltheglove.
If you mean how to train your players, so that the so called "stats" would change, I would tell you -- players' skill changes as the player grows, gets older. Well, if you do not train your player, I mean you give him some rest all the time, his skill may not change through the years. However, some players get their overall skill level change all the time -- doesn't matter if you train them or not. I never looked on players' stats.
And another problem in the game -- they call stats as player's skills, not how he played, how many goals scored, etc. So, if you tell your problem more clearly you would get the answer, probably from me.


Wow, the hottest topic in here!!!!!!!!!

Changing player stats using a Hex Editor. How do I do it ?

here you can download
Football World Manager
I never downloaded it, though

http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/mainII/fm2000.htm
here you can download FA Premier Football League Manager 2k

Well, when I was searching warez sites, I wanted to download Football World Manager. Well, I found a site, downloaded the game (took me all day) but when I played it, it turned out to be FA Premier Football League Manager 2k, which I already bought.

this topic is so big that I am kinda tired of saying the same thing all over again.

Ok,
here we go
I have got a letter from Stephen Cooper about 3 months ago. That letter told how to hexedit the game. It never worked for me, though, maybe because the guy that was writing it (it wasn't Stephen Cooper) was not an Englishman, so I just couldn't understand what the letter said. There, it tells you how to hexedit budgets, player stats/skill. I know people who tried it and it worked.
If you want, I can send the letter. e-mail me at dmitri@www.com

Well, I think it's hella hard. If there would be a FA PFLM2k online or a site that talks about the game, then maybe.

I don't know, maybe there will be a guy like Chau who will do that kind of tremendous work, but I don't know...

RussianRocket or someone....

Do u guys know where i can download a full version of championship manager 99/00 ????
if yes, i will really apriciate it if u tell me where. I cant even find a place where to order it online. But i d much rather download it somewhere without wasting another $30-40 as i did for FAPLM2000
FAPLM2000 is not that bad, but the bugs are killing me. I was in the 3rd season, bought a great 18 year old goalie, saved the game.... goalie was on my team, i paid his wages, but he wasnt in my roster list. couldnt put him in the game. Sold him, bought another one....same thing!!!
Sucks
Never mind players that die....

the game sucks just because it sucks. You can get over bugs...

Hey RussianRocket

It was no problem digging up this old dusty topic http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif I liked it. Plus we went over a hundred, and thats kinda cool http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
Well, i m getting myself a Championship Manager 2000, just want to take a look at it. Have u tried it?
I do think though that if it wasn't for numerous bugs in the game the game itself would be pretty cool. I like the idea that i can influence the development of a player.
Everybody saying that CM is so much better, but i read their forum, they are bitching about it alot also http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
So who knows....
The good idea whould be to combine FAPLM2000(2001 by that time) with Fifa2000(1) That would be an awsome game.
Take care

i have CM 99/00 and it's much better than FAPFM2k. that's the game I play every day now (the ONLY game). At first, you may think that the game is very slow, but when you get used to it, it doesn't. I got CM 99/00 on december the fifth, and I thought that FAPFM2k was beter. how wrong i was...
P.S
I took over conference team, and I am in the premiership now. i didn't cheat a lot, well, I didn't cheat with editors, though.


cheers,
