Leaning towards Villa given the clubs others are picking. It would be fun to leave Man U, City, Arsenal and Chelsea unpicked and try to overthrow the established power structure.
I didn't realize that we actually needed to do head-to-head...if that's the case, my hectic work schedule might not work.I honestly don't think I have 5 hours/week to devote to this.
I don't know if that's a requirement or not, but if it is, just getting it out there for the record.
Honestly, I'm not sure if it's a requirement either. If we have say 5-6 players, most of the games will be against computer controlled sides, but there will be plenty of head to head games. I think it would bebest to try and find a time where most players would be able to log on and give it a go.Is there some weeknight (say 9-11 PM Eastern, 6-8 PM Pacific) where we can try and hammer out the games? I read on some forum that the game would continue if 75% of the players were present. That seems like a decent rule.Brady Marino said:
yeah it is
Sounds good to me.

The experience being better or worse is just what you're comfortable with. Name recognition with players, teams and other aspects are what should draw you to the league you choose. If you love the MLS and would know a lot more of the players, then roll with that. .02
I don't play MLS, but apparently there are some bugs in the league implementation. So, if you're looking for an authentic experience, you probably won't get it. You can poke around at FM North America, if you want more info.

Definitely no stigma. Last year in FM 10, I had just finished reading a great book about Dutch soccer called Brilliant Orange so I took over AFC Ajax and had a lot of fun. You can choose any team you want and have fun IMO.
no stigma at all... I usually play with my favorite teams (any league/country), as I usually know the players and their situation, which adds to my interest. Sometimes I dive into the smaller leagues, in the hope of doing well enough to rise in the ranks.
Seems like most of us are on the west coast, so maybe a shift to 8:30-10:30 PM would be better.Thoughts?jonessed said:
wow, that's impressive...
I really don't know how head-to-head works. What's the timeframe on getting the game completed? If someone can't make a time does their side get taken over by the computer? If we could set up a team and a strat and let the computer run it then that gives everybody a lot more flexibility to miss a game here and there.I really need to do some research on this I guess.
whoa
i think we could just set up a west coast league and run through as much as we can and get all of these questions answered. Charlie frown was one that isn't on the west coast that said he was in. maybe he can do it later.
Maybe running through the first month, seeing what kinks there are and then restart with everyone else?
That's not a bad idea. If there are 4 or 5 people that have more spare time they could probably work out the kinks in a month and figure out a set-up that would work. We could then enlarge the pool.i think we could just set up a west coast league and run through as much as we can and get all of these questions answered.

I am usually up until 9-10 PST. Later on the weekends.i think we could just set up a west coast league and run through as much as we can and get all of these questions answered.

If I couldn't have Liverpool, I guess I would take Arsenal.
paper,rock, scissors?
I'll take Arsenal during the pre-run if I can has Liverpool when we get to the actual league.
I thought I already posted this but I didnt see it. If I understand things we are using EPL? If so I will take Blackpool (just sounds cool).
