Total Crud Manager

I bought this game because i thought they would have learnt from previous mistakes made in TCM2003. How wrong i was. Bugs, crashes, poor design this game was not made by anyone interested in football. Here is a list of the things that have wound me up so far.
1. Crashes once or twice per session.
2. Full stadium but not getting correct gate reciepts.
3. Won the premiership but got no prize money.
4. Scores in some 3D games dont correspond with match reports.
5. Players agreeing contracts with other clubs while still contracted to me for another 4 years.
6. 3D match engine sucks.
7. Game results seem predetermined. (replayed 1 game 3 times because of crashes, had exactly same result each time even though i changed team).
8. Tactics dont carry over to 3D match engine (play 3 at back and 1 CF and the central defender swaps with the CF).

The majority of these problems were in TCM2003, and i know complaints were made about them. How the hell didnt they resolve at least some of them.
Needless to say neither i or anyone i know will be buying TCM2005.

Well, I've also gotten my fair share of crashes, stats errors, etc... It happened even during my TCM 2003 days... thought it's gonna be resolved with TCM 2004. But alas its not to be!

sebastian, can you please write in english?

even if not english, at least spell one in every 3 words correctly... 14 errors out of 28 words, that's really ridiculous...

I think it's Total Class Manager It is fun to play and great. Most of the things you suggested have been fixed in the patch, and I have not had one ever crash and I am in the 3rd season . . .

TCM 2004 is sweet - its the first tcm game i have bought because the fusion feature played so promisingly in the demo version.

Im loving it! (no McDonalds pun intended)

I think that by installing the 16mb patch 1.1 will correct most of you bug problems that you have listed. It did with mine!

I must add that the only bug i do get annoyed with is the fact that whilst playing football fusion, my left back always takes freek kicks and corners even tho he is at the bottom of the set piece lists. Is there any way to solve this?

My players keep on shooting from long range instead of dribbling in 3D mode.

Same here, the most annoying is when it is one on one yet he still chooses to shot from outside the box

How did you manage? I 'm trying to find a way to make them shoot from a long range but they keep on trying to dribble. The only possible way is the hit "D".

Another problem that I have is the number of red cards that my players are shown. They are sent off for nothing. In the first 10 games I've got 4 players banned.
