Hah! I have IT on Friday, so I may just load the disc up during the lesson and have a poke around. :mexican:

I won't have time to buy it for another week or so. But meh, I'm not really in the mood of playing FM anyway right now.

Aarfy Aardvark
19-10-2006, 01:33:PM
I'm playing it now. :D

Is this early release for UK only?

DVC
19-10-2006, 02:14:PM
Got hold of it yesterday, it's a fantastic game.

The reason SI and SEGA decided to release it a few days early in the UK is due to unnamed stores selling advanced copies illegally. Apparently SI and SEGA are taking legal action against said stores but decided to release the game a little earlier to try and combat piracy, and make it a little more fair to the rest of the public.

Axolote
19-10-2006, 02:37:PM
Its amazing...

SI did it again...


Im playing with River...

Its more difficult than 2006.

Aarfy Aardvark
19-10-2006, 08:04:PM
hah. Took charge of Blackburn Rovers. I've just beat Liverpool at home 2-1. And to prove how realisitic the game is, Benitez still doesn't get the best out of Gerrard. ;)

I love how you can view the players reactions to your half-time comments.

Me encouraging Savage at HT, really did the trick! :mrpimp:

Is it true that there is no Huge Database? (N)

~Cahill~
20-10-2006, 04:08:AM
Yeah, there is a Huge Database option.
Stuffed if I know what it does though, I've only played this game
once, and that was yesterday straight after I got the game.

I'm thrilled the A-League is included... :shades:

Just small, medium or large.

Oz_Leeds_Fan
20-10-2006, 11:20:AM
What are peoples opinions on this? So you basically have to select every league to have the same amount of players available to you in this version?

I'll be getting my copy soon but from what i'm hearing its not that cool...

Clubs like FC Kopenhaven having a bucketload of "grey" players and stuff....

Aarfy Aardvark
20-10-2006, 11:59:AM
I'm on medium - and there isn't a lot of players. :(

20-10-2006, 05:20:PM
is that amazon link posted good for Mac as well? it says so on the picture of the box but then it doesn't say so next to the "Platform:" section.

Yeah its Mac/PC cd rom.

Awesome (Y)! I think I'm gonna go order it right now

PSVFOREVER
20-10-2006, 05:49:PM
Why's everone complaining about the number of players in the game, I dont notice any difference on large compared to fm06 tbh. Game looks good

Dissapointed by the Dutch db though. (Again) De Cler, Drost out of contract?? Bosvelt transferlisted, Cocu back-up player, wrong stadium capacities and names (Excelsior's stadium is Stadion Woudenstein for a few years now...), ridiculously high fut transfer fee (Knopper 3.5m and Bosschaart 4.2m to Ado, they dont even have any money irl) Players at wrong teams (Wielaert at NAC instead of Twente, Vayrynen at Celta instead of PSV), Wrong colours for away teams, and this isnt editable yet. A lot of staff missing from PSV and other staff who left still being there. Willem II's assistent is still at his previous club MVV. I could go on a while...

RuiCosta_10
20-10-2006, 07:56:PM
I'm with large database and with all players from Brasil and Argentina, i'm currently putting all ready to start, training, tactics, players that i want to sell or loan, getting new staff, etc... Looking good

Juventino
20-10-2006, 08:18:PM

Yeah, the staff at some clubs in Italy are f*cked aswell. For example, Bettega is a scout at Juve... First of all, he doesn't even have a function at Juve right now, and secondly he was managing director at Juve and president of the G14 until this summer. They could've put in a little more effort there...

Fernandez
20-10-2006, 10:12:PM
You guys got problems? Gibson, Simpson and Evans have low potential ability which makes them terribly underrated.

Aarfy Aardvark
20-10-2006, 10:21:PM
When I took up my new job, I had one coach at Blackburn with these stats...

Technical - 16
Tactical - 14
Fitness - 7

Guess what his role was?

Fitness coach. Really annoying. You can't assign any other roles to him except those covered by a fitness coach (strength, aerobic.) I just cancelled his contract after he refuses to be put on a different one and signed someone else.

I'm sure these bugs will be ironed out in the patch.

They still have 2 games in hand or more on most teams above them.

Juventino
21-10-2006, 05:49:PM
Chelsea did end 4th, but only 2 points from the championship.

I just realized I put the screenie in this thread... I thought I put it in the screenshot show-off thread. :$ Oh well

Getting mine in less than a week.
Is Juve starting in Serie B with the point deduction and how can you know which clubs have 'feeders'?

a) Yes

b) It should be on the left hand side when you click on a club. Under 'affliated clubs'...

Thanks by the way, and expect more questions. :p

Try out Susie (http://www.sortitoutsi.net). It's awfully slow, but got loads of good stuff to download.

Daz
25-10-2006, 07:49:PM
I can't actually use Susie cos its so f'ucking slow. They really need to get whatever it is thats the problem sorted. Seeing as its the only decent FM resource site remaining.

Da Kid
25-10-2006, 08:09:PM
try fmunderground.? just google it...i have only downloaded serie A face pack....no Udinese :rolleyes:

Daz
25-10-2006, 08:34:PM
FM Underground is just as slow for me. If not slower. In fact it won't even load.

Its not my connection, all other sites are fine.

Da Kid
25-10-2006, 09:46:PM

Zlatan
27-10-2006, 01:14:PM
Just bought the game today. First impression: Ajax is as always, heavily underrated again. Mauro has 11 for crossing while that should be atleast 15 same goes for De Mul and Mauro is in the reserve team :S , Wes is average so is Maarten, the Bijlmer boys just plain suck(except for Kenneth), Klaas only has 16 for finishing and I can go on for a while like that. The only one who is heavily overrated is Roger lol.

PSVFOREVER
27-10-2006, 02:31:PM
Get used to it, the Dutch DB is absolute crap. I actually have to agree with you, I improved the stats of various Ajax players. I improved some stats of PSV players too though :p

Stupidest thing is Theo Lucius not being in the game though

Daz
27-10-2006, 06:49:PM

theres hardly shi't on there compared to Susie.

i want The Dugout back :(

Zlatan
27-10-2006, 06:59:PM
TD didn't have graphics and stuff like that. They had speedy connection for demo's and patches though, I agree. And still have one of the best FM related board there is on the net.

Oz_Leeds_Fan
28-10-2006, 04:05:AM
There is a fix in the editors section of the SI Forums that fixes the Huge database problem.

Apparently SI didnt removed it, rather they hid it from selection. This bloke has made an xml file that fixes that.

It has been tested and it works in the game.
However some comments have been made that the reason it was omitted by SI was that it causes bugs with the regen system. Ive sent of an email to them for some confirmation and elaboration so i'd be wary bout using it until we hear some official comment.

Zlatan
28-10-2006, 10:06:AM
Nah I never used the huge database anyway, never noticed much of a diffrence with the large one TBH.

Fernandez
28-10-2006, 10:40:AM
I used large, huge database would be too slow.

Oz_Leeds_Fan
28-10-2006, 02:57:PM
Apparently the difference is quite marked...10's of thousands of players...meh, like i said, i'll wait till i hear back from SI.

It's due to licences. The same reason why all the German NT players are grey and why Oliver Kahn is named Jens Mustermann.

But fortunatly Susie has got a solution for it again. Download this and it should be fixed(be sure to back up though): http://www.sortitoutsi.net/index.php?page=downloads&area=file&fileid=2544

Go to Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\data\db\700 and delete the INC folder and out comes the Netherlands.

And the German NT too, and Kahn. Also the J-league data will be kept intact, but still not playable.

J-League data is there, but only a few teams are accessible on the largest database.

Avispa, Ventforet, FC Tokyo, JEF United and those of that ilk are listed but can't be accessed. Same goes for J-League 2 teams as well.

I only see about 6 of the 18 teams that you can actually view. This is this to fill up the spaces in the AFC Champions League I would imagine.

Let's hope this above db fix solves that issue.

you dont need to delete it.

Simply trundle over to susie and downlod the "FM2007 Real Comp/Award Names & LNC Fix Final"

That'll fix the Dutch and German teams, Ollie Kahn and correctly name all the leagues in the game for you :)

Zlatan
29-10-2006, 08:13:AM

No, you'll have to start all over again. Whilst you download that file from Susie you can continue your game.

rpvankasteren
29-10-2006, 08:37:AM
Actually, you cán continue the game, but everything changed because of the LNC folder would still be wrong.
