The Manager Master Thread

[Reefo]

Hey, I have a problem with MM08

I'm trying to take Bury from Coca-Cola League 2 up to the Barclay's premier league, but it kept annoying me that I would get objectives to extend contracts when my negotiator is Lv1-5 and can't even resign a 99 morale player with twice the wage.

So I opened up my career in MM08 and changed the negotiator, stadium manager, and medical staff to Lv10, then saved it and quit. But now whenever I load up my Manager Mode Save ingame the game crashes.

whenever i opened manager mode after modifying values in mm08 I got the same problem. you're best bet is to use im08..find the career options somewhere in there and try to change your attributes there.

I used it to change my player's atrributes and my manager mode works fine.

MM08 has been designed to do only changes that should allow to continue your career after that the editing is saved but, you know, this game is very complex and sometime editing can cause the crash of the game itself. For this reason MM08 always makes a backup of you original career and your original database (see the files with .bak extension). If the edited version doesn't work you can restore the original version deleting the new one and removing the .bak extension from the backup file.

Thats a pretty cool feature, but I don't really care about my save anyway (it was a new one I used to test MM08 :P). So does this mean that I can't use the edit staff feature or is there some workaround to the crashes?

EDIT: I tried again, this time only changing the staff levels to 9 instead of 10 and it worked. But for some reason the striker coach got upgraded instead of the stadium manager. Then when I opened it again in MM08 it said Striker Coach was still 3 and Stadium Manager was still 2 =.=

I really have no idea what's going on >_>

EDIT 2: Easiest way seems to be to just give yourself tons of money and upgrade it yourself

Changing start / end dates of the Prem

Sorry lads...I've another dumb question.

I am trying to start a new Liverpool career and I'd like the Prem to start in Aug for the 2008-09 season.

Can I change the start and end date of a tournament or do I have to accept a 2007 start date?

I see in MM08 that there is a slot to change the start / end dates, but its always greyed out and I cannot change it.

...I also take it that MM08 isn't compatible with the official Fifa 2008 roster updates?

When I save anything in MM08, it resets my rosters back to the originals...i.e no Martin Skirtel for Liverpool or Anelka for Chelsea.

Unfortunately I can't move the teams played by the CPU when I load a league I have created with CM08 in tournament mode. Is that impossible in that mode?

Is there a way to add a player in that's missing? I also have 'Save my Career' so is that needed as well?

 

[Power-MUFC]

Okay so, I've located the certain player I wanted. Kluivert (5680). Now, how can I add him to a certain team? He's not part of anywhere. Not a free agent, no where. I just got his ID and his face came up. His name and all aren't right. Can I still edit him?

Edit: It won't even allow me to edit him. So is there a way I can add Kluivert to my manager mode and still keep my manager mode going?

I have the strangest problem.

I previously played a full career of 15 seasons, during which I edited a lot of stuff with MM, and never had any problems.

Now I want to start a new career and have edited a lot of stuff; rosters, stadiums, kits etc. with CM in order to get everything right, since my last fifa.db save was from back in March.

I tested everything in game before starting a new career without problems, so I wasn't expecting any problems with the new career. But I have...

I can start a new career just fine and sim a whole season if I want to but whenever I change anything in MM and save it, the game hangs at about 75 percent while simming the following game. I even tried just starting MM, not change anything at all and save, and it still crashes.

This is so weird because it's the same fifa.db as with my last, flawless career and I used MM extensively without experiencing a single crash.

I still used beta 0.3 during the first career and had no problems but I now installed 1.0 but it doesn't make a difference...

If anyone has some input I would greatly appreciate it. I've become so used to editing with MM that I refuse to play a career without it. Thanks in advance.
