Its death Sven, but not as we know it…

[Tom]

Wrote an article for sigames thinking about possible implementation of more realistic managerial changes in future FM's. Let me know what you think.

"After a barrage of abuse from every man and his dog, Sven finally took the long awaited step of resigning as manager of England, all be it; after the World Cup. To be honest it was reasonably inevitable by January that the “fake sheik” errors on Sven’s behalf would ultimately lead to his rather ungraceful downfall. Surely no-one could have predicted the sheer hilarity of the situation that has ensued?""

Very well written as usual Tom.

A comment that may interest you is that I thought it was a very long article...yet I didn't get bored and think "sod it". Keep it up mate.

Amazing work there mate.

 

[Tom]

cheers guys. Any thoughts on how i could make it better? e.g. things i could include if done again, things you'd cut out?

 

[jatin]

Nice article there mate...
BTW..why is it in this forum..this deserves a launge discussion.and more audience...

 

[Tom]

its mainly to do with FM unfortunately

good read. i like the way you point out the problems of having media interaction in game - it is lack of realism. same line repeat and repeat and ..... imagine you play FM for 10 seasons and you have to reply the same thing again and again for more than 100 times and the result most likely to be the same, this is pain and not fun.

while reserve team player said they are unhappy and want more first team football, what you do is to tell them work harder in training and they will happy with your response (one trick do them all). this is boring...boo...

Pretty much spot on there. Media even though steps have been tacken, if possible have a more random elemnet to it.

Also how about the ability to tap players up, with a potential of being caught etc.

And how about bringing racism into the game? E.g. fans chanting and stuff, as a response you would have a number of potential choices to discourage the racism, e.g. banning fans, promoting anti-racist banners etc.

Although that'd be a touchy subject.

Just a few ideas thrown in the air.

 

[Tom]

nah i tried to cover that in the article, but couldnt actually say it due to legal reasons - Racism or tapping up will never EVER be in the game, doesnt matter how realistic it is, it simply wont make it in.

I know what you mean though, a random element to the media is what people want.

 

[Dreath]

No tapping up!?

Bah, I want to turn Barnet into Chelsea! How can I do that without it!?

 

[Tom]

tick the "sugar daddy" option in the pre-game-editor

If you have the money why can't you prompt your board to pay off loans?

I see the bootroom articles don't make the si frontpage anymore... travesty.

 

[Tom]

yeah they're redoing the website i think, so eventually the Bootroom may get more priority.

MAY being the appropiate word.
