Smirking Saint, have you used an editor on those guys? As Determination is one of the stats (along with Natural Fitness) that NEVER rise. Or at least thats what I always thought. :confused:

I've seen determination rise a lot of times, especially when i've given the player a tutor.

[Thedelldays]

can you train someone to a new position on this..?

 

make his dark green dot go light green..?

[Matthew Le God]

Yes, click on the player > goto training > new position

 

You can also get them to learn new skills - Click on a player > Interaction > interact with player > scroll down

 

Both take a few weeks/months depending on the age and adaptability of the player.

The defender i have seriously just signed this season, the striker has been with me only a year, honestly not edited anything, just spend time looking for decent youth.

 

Determination is also a v. good stat as i find it is what is needed for a player or coach !! to develop. Don't know if anyone else has noticed this.

 

And TDD i have never managed to get a dark green dot light green, i think light green is natural and that never changes.

How do you find these players?

 

If I use the filter on the player search then these type of players never come up (rightly as my staff would never have heard of them).

 

Do you trawl through other clubs youth teams or have a less time consuming trick?

One word: scouts.

Get some scouts of various nationalities and get them to scout countries searching for only players under the age of 18. I've found some great little regens like that. Obviously going through youth teams could work as well, but your scouts can cherry pick the best ones for you. Below are the dates when regens of certain nations come into the game, it's a good idea to send your scouts out at around these times so you get the best regens nice and early.

Nope, you can train a player so he gets to a 'natural' level. Managed to get Gary Glen (AM/FC at the start of the game) to be natural at the AML position, and the same on FM09. Best way to do it is have a more experienced player who plays in that position tutor the player, as well as setting their training to new position and playing that player in that position on match days. It does take a while, but it can be done.

[IamLeGod]

A question for MLG, Ive just come across a GK who was born in 1990, but has a history going back to 1999, is this real or is it a glitch?

 

Italian by the name of Carlo Pinsoglio

Edited 7 March, 2010 by IamLeGod
giving the name may help

[James]

Any suggestions for 3rd season lads? Just been promoted to the Prem after getting out of the Champ first time. Have the following Starting 11:

 

Kirkland

Bertrand

Roger Johnson

Gary Cahill

Cosmin Contra

Gabriel Obertan

Morgan

Darron Gibson

Darren Ambrose

Jay Simpson

Davide De Gennaro

 

Need a new striker/quality loan as I am seriously struggling for goals.

 

Any help?

Depends what kind of striker you need. Looking at your team i'd say you need a big lump, in which case i'd recommend Oscar Cardozo. However, Ivica Olic was banging them away for me in the Prem in my other Saints game, and he was dirt cheap as well.

[Marsdinho]

Just been "given" a quality youth player.

 

Darren Rivers, only 16 , but has great defender stats.... Arsenal put in a bid for 2.5M 2 days after him being added to my Under 18's squad !!!

 

Also, managed to get Beckham on a free form LA !!

[Marsdinho]

My team, 2nd season in, 1st in CCC

 

..................Ochoa...................

 

Parnaby.....Nestor.....Ayala.....Ball

 

Beckham...Shelvey...Spiderman...Lallana

 

.............Di Viao.....Bojinov..............

[Saint_clark]

Is that Roberto Ayala or the young Liverpool lad?

[Marsdinho]

Is that Roberto Ayala or the young Liverpool lad?

 

Yeah, Roberto, bit old but still does a job. I got Belgian defender called Weuttens (sp) that steps in when Roberto is knackered...

 

Also managed to get....Davids, Rivaldo, Vieri, Viera all to sign without cheating.

 

It seems that, by having ML on foreground, he chucks money at the team.

[skintsaint]

in March on 10.3 - Lambert has gone past 50 goals for the season. Bit easy this new patch.

blimey! I've only just started with it, maybe 3 or 4 games into the season and Lambert hasn't scored yet, not even in a friendly! Barnard's not much better. I've set Lambert as Target Man and Barnard as Poacher or Forward Lying Attacker. I think the team need time to gel, so far we've only managed a couple of draws. I remember it took a while on 10.1.

[Saint_clark]

I have to admit I haven't done very well on my new game. Think it's down to my tactics, takes me a while to figure out what to do.

SkintSaint, what did you use?

[Matthew Le God]

I haven't actually changed Lambert from 10.2 to 10.3

[JackFrost]

without the patch saga knocked in 47 in 51 games in my first season, got promoted through the play-offs thrashing Brighton 5-0 in the final.

 

My team is Davis, Harding, Jaidi, De Laet, James, Van Der Meyde, Lallana, Schneiderlin, Thomson, Lambert, Saga

 

Subs: Bart, Thomas, Boyata, Murty, Hammond, Puncheon, Mifsud

[Crab Lungs]

Also, managed to get Beckham on a free form LA !!

 

Ah, the natural successor to Jermain Wright.

[badgerx16]

Just had poopey go into admin in CCC

[Saint_clark]

This game hates me. Was doing sh*t in my first save so started again. Really good squad, looking good - Fonte gets sent off in the first game and I lose 1-0. FFS.

[IamLeGod]

I got him at the same time too, made a great Captain. got loads of goals and assists in the CCC, lead me to the title in my first season. Good work.

[Black Sea Saint]

Seabourne is incredible on 10.3.

Appearances 15(2)

Goals 8

Av rating 7.56

He only got 2 games for me in the first season, had Fonte and Cathcart with Jaidi as backup.

[Black Sea Saint]

Try the 10.3 version of Total Domination (the tactic mentioned earlier in this thread). Saints are unstoppable.

It was mentioned 2 pages back, as I stated in my post. If you're too lazy to look back here's the link http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=175981

[Griffo]

I'm playing the original game without any patch. Does the new patch mean I start at the beginning of the season with the current saints team such as Fonte and Barnard etc?

 

A bit ****ed off that I got given 300k for the Championship, but I don't want to set Markus to a sugar daddy because it's completely unrealistic.

[itchen_dan]

Anybody else on the new patch find themselves getting 2 / 3 injuries per match? Ive currently got 9 players out injured including Lambert, Hammond & Schneiderlin!! How am i supposed to win anything??

[Thedelldays]

found a tactic that works with any team......boring now

[AndyNorthernSaints]

Seems like most people manage Saints on here. I did until Rupert Lowe sackd me after losing first 3 games in 2006 game :-( this was getting into premier league at first attempt as well.

2010 has seen me in charge of York winning fa trophy, Coventry and now Dirty Leeds on top of league 1 with Grant Holt scoring for fun.

You're meant to be bloody studying!

[Saint_clark]

Niflore. £35k, CCC quality striker at least.

[IamLeGod]

Just got through the january transfer window in 2017, and the player registration closed before the deadline. Meaning that the £15m midfielder ive just signed cannot be played in the league, rather frustrating in the run-in of my assault on the treble

You could have still registered him using the option from the squad page.

I know. Just one more game.............while on a winning run :-(

[doughnutman]

Quick question: In yesterdays echo, the wembley supplement has an article on Glenn ****erill working as a scout for Carlisle and has done so for the past couple of years, how come he is always listed on football manager as a scout for Brighton??

I *think* scouts can be pretty much freelance and work for anyone... bit of a conflict of interest if so though :-o

[Suhari]

Thought I would get into FM2010; not played one since 08. Enjoying it so far, but how about this for a dodgy management decision...........

 

I signed Marlon King. Good idea I thought; okay, so the fans weren't to happy, but he's banged a few in for us, and being the manager I know best. Until his status changed to 'unavailable to play football until 30.4.2011'.

 

Banged up I guess.

 

****.

[JonnyLove]

I have come a cropper with my FM10 game. I Have just taken over another club who just got into Europe problem is they only have 3 home grown players and I need 4 to continue the game. There is nothing I can do apart from resign from the club or start over. This is terrible as I have started at the very bottom to work my way up to where I am now. Anyone got any suggestions. And no a re-load of the save game won't help because of the last save point.

[Smirking_Saint]

If you register your players with space for the extra home grown player you need it will go through.

 

I have had to do this a few times. As you go on (i am at 2016 now) the english players become sh*te.

 

So basically, back to the point, i think you can register 25, so register 24 and you will be fine.

[Matthew Le God]

Yep, do as Smirking Saint said and leave spare spots.

[JonnyLove]

But what if I cannot get one before the deadline?

 

The biggest issue is that I must have 4 players that have been with my new team for 4 years but I don't. Or does this not matter if I only select 24 players.

[Matthew Le God]

It doesn't matter you don't need to buy anyone. The selection screen tells you what you need in terms of spaces. If you have 3 homegrown players then only select 24, if you have 2 homegrown only select 23.

[JonnyLove]

Thanks I'll giv it a go tonight. Also I see that the iPhone app is out recommendable??

[Matthew Le God]

I don't have an Iphone so haven't played it. I think it only costs £6 and is similar to the PSP version so potentially very good value.

[Smirking_Saint]

Matt Le God, i think that re gens need to be looked at for the next one, once the original list of players have been depleted you just don't get good enough new players coming in.

 

You do get the odd decent ones, but never many that good, especially midfielders that are always crap in regards to marking, i have had to convert defenders into DM to get me through.

[Jimmy_D]

Haha...

 

My career game with Eastleigh... we've just been taken over by none other than Nicola Cortese

 

I managed to avoid getting sacked as well despite him wanting to bring his own manager in to start with.
