2. After all the man has done for the club, I don't feel that it's right to jack him around too much.

AJ_Impy's idea is good, and I'm using it. But I'm aiming a little higher than him. Why target the Prince when you can go for the King? And why should I settle for embezzling from only Wrexham when I have access to the most lucrative vault in all of English football? The 'small change' I request is to take Manchester United's funds, and add several zeroes to the end of it. Then make it negative.

The trouble with doing it to United is it then becomes derivative of the Glazers. Nonetheless, let's see if it works...

Wouldn't that just completely destroy the club and take out a rival in a cheap way? Would kinda spoil our achievements down the line if we just murder the driving force of the EPL like that in my opinion.

Target the prince instead of the king, because we want to dethrone the king.

I know it be two changes, but if you are going to bankrupt a team, shouldn't another team receive funds? So the economy remains balanced of course.

I'll admit, when AJ_Impy brought forward the idea to destroy a megabastard I was interested just to see if it can be done. I don't share his passionate hatred of Arsenal so I of course wanted to hit the biggest guy in the place, and that's Manchester United (plus it'd bit a slap of real-life karma... with a significant amount extra). But the point of 'it's not fun if we're not beating Man U' has a point, so Arsenal is good, just megabastard enough to see if it works but not megabastard enough to seriously upset the apple cart. Ages ago, in the Ray Parlour there was a club named AFC Parmo where goons would take control of a club for roughly 6 months (start of preseason to January 1st, January 1st to end-of-season). The first year they succeeded spectacularly, with a story practically made for movies where one of the first players who scored a goal in the Conference South scored a goal in the Champions League final. Now, the reason I'm giving the money to Tackleford is that in the next version of Football Manager they created a team called MK Parmigiana, who was the megabastard of megabastards and represented that Americans had come over, taken the team over, moved it, changed its color, history, etc., and tossed off the debris of AFC Parmo to the dregs where they took it back over in Conference North, and brought it back to the top yet again. That was a lot of fun to read, that there was always a rival who was there and worthy and you could shout at. So let's get our favorite punching bag up to par and beat the living snot out of them every few years!

Yeah, I agree with this. We need to revive our rivalry...and that means making Tackleford into a megabastard of epic proportions. We need to make Tackleford into the Ivan Drago of English football.

We need to make Tackleford into the Ivan Drago of English football. I personally don't care about Tackleford anymore. We've left them in the dust, and I see no real reason to be mad at them considering we're on top and they're not. Now, Wrexham does have a real rivalry, and that's with Chester F.C. in the Cross-border derby. But since Wrexham's been moving up, the rivalry was reduced to a few friendlies before being left in the dust like Tackleford. It would be a twist to end all twists if Chester came out of nowhere to follow Wrexham's meteoric rise to the Premier League. Suddenly, the old rivalry would return with a vengeance.

So 2 Questions about this LP and one about the game. Game Question: Is the game really as bad as some people say? From what I've seen so far, fan reaction has been mixed and without this LP, I wouldn't have considered getting this. LP Questions: 1)When will it be necessary to get a new stadium? This probably isn't good enough resarch, but a quick enough glance at Wikipedia states that only 2 stadiums ever used in the Premier League are smaller than the Racecourse Grounds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Premier_League_stadiums 2) What the hell did Man U do to get 100 points? It just seems way too much even for a club of that stature especially since at the moment I can count the number of clubs to finish over 90 points with one hand.

The thing about stadium size is Wrexham is a small town of only roughly 42,000 people. Some of the larger stadiums in the league have a higher capacity than Wrexham's entire population. Even if you consider the surrounding villages and towns, there's only so much fans you can have.

I'm just assuming that at some point a lot of more people outside Wales will attend in the future if Wrexham has several years of high play (Champions League wins/FA Cup Wins etc). I'm not proposing a massive increase, maybe an increase to 20-26 thousand capacity. Of course, the fact we're located in Wales might drive some people away.

It's fun, it will suck up every ounce of your free time if you let it, it's got that Civ quality of "one more match, one more transfer..." 1.) More success means more attendance, more attendance will eventually mean bigger stadium. A few seasons at least. 2.) Sell their soul to the darkness... Really, it's an issue that the game has that events like this real season with ManU don't really happen. Good teams stay good. Granted, Manchester United will probably also rebound in RL, but they have a massive leg up. Sky Shadowing fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Apr 29, 2014 |

Dreamsicle posted:Game Question: The game has a fairly steep learning curve compared to previous iterations and a lot of people don't like this. There are some genuine gripes, such as how often the ball hits the woodwork and (possibly) the conversion ratio of one-on-ones, but it's a solid version of the game and FM players aren't the brightest bunch of internet denizens, so just ignore them.

Man City or Paris Saint Germain are good enough to make nearly any decent tactic work, and they've got the money to buy nearly anyone they'd want. Just don't try learning the game with a low level club or a club in a terrible league.

There's a FM thread in the Ray Parlour for more advice, but yes, a good team can help you learn before you try and pull off what habeasdorkus has pulled off. After a season or two you can start a new game with a lower team if you want.
