View Full Version : Better then Beckham ? ....

...I believe so, everyone remembers Beckhams goal against Wimbledon right ? (the half-line one)

Well during my succesful time at Celtic, one of my younger players scored the best goal I have seen to date in CM4, in the Semi-Final of the European Championship against Juventus.

Unfortuantly I have no host space, the file is only 256k so if anyone wants to view it, or even host it for me then please leave your email and i'll send it to you (pretty please, it deserves to be seen to the world!)

(the player who scored it was Colin Healy)

or you could email me at braxdaoc@yahoo.com and i'll send it to you from there :)

well I'll show you how my time at Celtic in a sec..

but first take a look at my best buy (he only cost me 4.5 mill after selling Larsson)

Navia (http://groups.msn.com/TheSemiLoDPictures/daocpiccies.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=42)

My name is Ross Colburn, and this next link will show you what I won whilst at Celtic.

It sais nearer the top that they hired Roberto Mancini...I didn't get sacked lol, I moved on to join a struggling Spurs side as you can generate more income in the Premiership, also it's a tougher challenge :)

And finally, my career so far....

Here is Navia's attributes...

Navia attributes (http://groups.msn.com/TheSemiLoDPictures/daocpiccies.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=49)

As you can see, he isn't the best ever but I bought him mainly because he was the only player with good aerial and finishing attributes that would come to Celtic Park for a low amount of wages.

Also I had alot of creative players from defenders to strikers in which to aid is chances :)

That Navia guy has awaful dribbling, strikers need to have good dribbling in my team

RossCo
03-10-2003, 01:15:AM
that's where lots of managers differ, Navia fits my team perfectly because when you have creative players knocking through balls, great corners and defender beating crosses there's no need to dribble :)

03-10-2003, 03:19:AM
My stikers need to play am sometimes, players like Cassano, Reyad and Carlier are perfect for me.

just like the name Navia, you are being Naive.

TROD.

RossCo
04-10-2003, 12:19:AM
not being naive at all, the fact is that if a player doesn't need to dribble to score his goals then his Dribbling attribute isn't all that important. If it was he wouldn't have netted 40 + goals a season now would he ?

O btw, how you get Naive from Navia I do not know.

They look similar?

Navia - Naivia
Naivia - Naive

Not that dissimilar?

why you needed to jump into this thread I don't know, if your not going to post something to do with the thread don't post at all.

Tom
04-10-2003, 03:00:AM
sorry, i was just critising your comments on Dribbling, but i never explained myself, sorry for that.

Anyway, i just feel that dribbling is far more important than it is often given credit for, its not just of use when going forward, but also useful for getting out of tight situations. like in defence or out on the wing, when people think of dribbling, its all: "ooh, Cristiano Ronaldo!!" when infact, every player needs to be able to dribble.

Cristiano Ronaldo is crap in my game:f***:

Tom
04-10-2003, 03:06:AM
hes fantastic in my game, playing for me. lol

TROD. Dont care what anyone says, Cristiano Ronaldo is an immensly gifted player, you can abuse him for his diving, but his skill far outweighs that.

only potential of 169 in my game, that's not enough to be a superstar IMO

I only use it sometimes for injuries (very long). But extra cash for PSV isn't in my adavance because I play with Fiorentina (and I don't give myself extra cash)

thats cheating lol. Can't you guys use the skills you have by judging players ingame, rather then checking the potential or whatever of them ?

I did this in the beginning of my Fiorentina game, now I have scouts with high potential rating. (you know)

I'll not cheat in proper games but I do have the ocasional game where the editor becomes a paradise for me before I start up the game! (H)

Where would this world be without cheating?

Nowhere, thats where! :mrpimp:

I did this once: Gave MVV reputation 100, 300 million transfer budget. (even higher balance). incredible high wage budget. It was fun to play with big players in dutch div.1

Ebonix

Thats my point exactly. I think I managed to attract Paolo Maldini to Notts County on one of the older games. That was a grand day for all concerned (H)

Tom
04-10-2003, 09:02:PM
i only ever used the MCM4 editor to do two things:

1. piss up certain players if they were pissing me off, like lowering the reputations to 2 or summet (im a very bitter person)

2. Sorting injuries, cos it still sometimes goes unrealistic.

I wouldnt call the 2nd one cheating.

yeah, I think the number of injuries is cheating by the computer

Tom

its usually ok, but sometimes you get 5 or 6 in the space of a day.

RossCo

Fair enough about the injuries, but even still, it presents a bigger challenge of winning the majority of games without those players.

Lean
05-10-2003, 03:48:AM
It presents your chances of winning a CL final going away because of a unrealistic injury blow that takes half of your first team away from the match. Just to make an example. I'm fully against cheating, but healing some players is no harm at all, especially when they get injured because of some sort of useless bug. Imagine me then, i use EP1 because it was the only patch i could find a crack that worked. Almost every match i get at least 1 player injured, which makes LLM almost impossible. That's why i get bored so easily, managing world class teams suck if you want a real challenge.

Tom
05-10-2003, 06:35:PM
you explained that so well, Ross. i can see where you're coming from, but when you get 6-7 injuries in a few days, its just unrealistic when they're all 3 week + injuries. its annoying and its unrealistic.

TROD.
