Football Manager 2017

Just ordered it and its getting delivered tomorrow.

1) Is it any better than previous versions?
2) Which players should I sign for Pools?
C) How come the Limited Edition was cheaper than the normal one? I kid ye not!
4.1.2.3) Do the "cheats" (like Sugar Daddy)still work?

:confusion-confused:

1) Yes
2) a decent right winger and a centre mid.
3) don't know
4) no

The Bishop · **Posted:** Wed Jan 11, 2017 10:11 pm

Thanks Mr Townsend, which cheats still work though?

'Cheats never beat' I was always told.

Our lass was in Currys on Sunday and asking for help as she wanted a lightweight laptop to take to work etc that suited her needs. They seemed to both agree on one till I told her I want it to run footy manager at a decent speed too.

Put a bit of a spanner in the works aswell as a few more quid and weight.

1.yeah
2. As with previous versions. Hammer the free market.
3. No idea
4. Never cheat

Currently with pools in the championship in the year 2020.

Brexit has kicked me head in tho as they've abolished the Bosman ruling

Keep brad walker. Carson. Carroll. Amond for 3 years.

1. No, none are better than 01/02 and To Madeira
2. To Madeira on 01/02
c. It's free online legally
4.1.2.3. Don't need to cheat with To Madeira, Kennedy Bacmkfdhsjkgenvilou, Mike Duff, Ibrahim Said and many others.
5. Just get 01/02 they've been a piss take since then

I bought it when it first game out but still yet to play it. I think I lost a bit of interest over recent years as it's getting more intricate.

1) Yes, best one since 2012 for me
2) Harley Black is incredible and available on a free. Solid ball winner and bangs in about 20 free kicks a season. I also sold Carson for a few hundred k and got Oliver Davies in. He does you all the way up to the Premier League. Alex Finney is a canny CB too.

Second season see if you can get Joe Riley. He can play LB or RB and was amazing for me.

3)No idea.
4)Nope, these days you have to cheat with a save editor. Sort of defeats the point of the whole thing though.

Agree with all of this. Didn't bother with the new one but constantly on 01/02 lately.

Is that the one with Andri Sigborsson on? Pure goal machine.

I've coached walker into an AMC and he's champ standard

a few years in you can get some canny players. Got jack barmby n Ivan Toney players a few decent league 2 players that have developed well.

Being took over helped. No Bosman ruling doesn't

I think i may have just bumped into this ruling. I also have barmby and also brad walker was my best player in championship last season. Funnily enough have sean kavanagh at left back.

But no contract expiry players are able to be approached which is going to kill me as I have no transfer budget
