Add Championship Manager

Thanx 4 The Fish

I know that there has not been alot of traffic about it but there seems to be some confusion about whether it should go into strategy or games.

Perhaps a trial run as a public board and if it works then promote it.

What is thought of on this all.

Thanks,

M

PS If there is not to be a board how do I stop my manager points being reset ?

DapperGent

CM board is great idea. You might almost call it essential. Or summat.

What's the best position to play Ronaldinho in? How to I stop losing 4-0 away from home?

All these questions and more coming to a board near you!

(no answers though)


Dunno about the manager points. Does it reset at the start of every season or something?

amp

It's a very popular game. We do get the occasional thread for it in Games, but I sense that this could be one of the few exception to the: interest first, build second rule.

/me grants this suggestion the amp/and/or/endorsal/of/product/service.

roar_ie

I endorce this here product or service

kaimera

hasn't there been numerous requests for a CM board already?

cmeire was developed with help from Boards too.

anyway, has my vote

as for Ronaldinho, play a 4-1-3-2....him either LM or CM

as for the manager points...they re-set after each season when the game updates during the summer.

if yore stats are goign to zero midgame tis a problem. maybe the Vaggabond can help there.

ManWithThePlan

Loads of us have requested it before.
Should hopefully get the go-ahead this time.

Thumbs up!

GuanYin

I'd use it!

I'm playing CM4 now, and usually have it running while net browsing.

Bring on the Forum!

tHE vAGGABOND

I too support this

irishgeo

I support this too. Despite my best efforts to keep CMEIRE open i could not. The updates were to few and far and between.People agreed to help but never did.

My time has become precious lately. I will but a redirect up on the site pointing to the board if it is setup.I would aslo like to be considering for moderator along with vaggabond.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Funny, I too would like to be considered for Mod and my time is not at all precious

In fact I have plenty of it and spend most of my work day browsing boards. Great to get paid for that ain't it.

Pepe LeFrits

Yeah, why not.

Tho i don't like CM4.

tinofapples

As someone famous once said "Build it and they will come"

The game's adictiveness (Is this a word) is unreal !!

I've played it since it came out I think and have spent hours upon hours at the computer . I recall one game of the 94/95 edition (I think) when I dominated Scottish and European football with my Celtic team including the one and only Thierry Henry who I plucked as a teenager from Monaco .

I'd love to see it happen

Doodee

/me extends arm and waves thusly!

i also agree.

cournioni

Gwan CM!!

ManWithThePlan

Who gives a fnck who's mod, i just want somewhere to show screenshots of my mad CM skillz.

I do, it should be me!!

koneko

Yes please, keep it off the games board, so no one else has to read it :P

Space Coyote

Yes CM board yes. I has been playing it pretty much non-stop since the 96/97 season. I'm currently manager of Liverpool in 2016, using non-real players (CM3). 12 Leagues and 7 European Cups + many others. I'm the bestest. Ever.;)

nobody likes a show off

IN fact everybody likes a show off.

Picture it, the year is 2012, Liverpool are the only team to have won the CL 5 times in a row. 6 times league champions and Neil Mellor is the World Striker of the year for the third time. Won the Fa Cup with my reserve team playing every game.

GAH!
HOw has this board nt been created yet? ;P

I've had every cm since cm2 and I love them all :P (Mosly cm3 and updates though

If no board is created, may i direct those interested to www.thedugout.net and www.cmgamer.com (the dugout being my preference)


oh. and sod off if you think the game is rubbish , you jsut don't understand
:rolleyes:

Thax for the Fish for mod, his idea to put the board up and, judging by the contributions he has already made to the very new discworld board, i think he will ad a lot to the cm irish community.

ManWithThePlan

Well said tbh.

CM3 is by far the best.
The dugout is teh cool too.

G'wan admins!

StickyMcGinty

yea yea yea yea

bring it on!!

i love that game

p.pete

I'm not too big into games but CM is cool, worthy of a board in my opinion.

DerekD Goldfish

I am all in favour of this new board

DapperGent

Any chance of a decision on this?

There seems to be plenty of support and nice people saying they'd mod it.

Pretty please?

PiE

Have they sorted CM4 out yet? Or is it still sh*t-slow and riddled with bugs?

DapperGent

There has been three patches, they've really helped and now the game is perfectly playable.

It's an awful awful lot faster on the aul processing (I have a 700mhz 256 RAM), match engine is tweaked well (though strikers still score too high a proportion of your goals), buying and selling is a good bit easier overall it's almost what I'd hoped it would be.

Media interaction is still almost non-existant, pause going from tactics back to match is still there and still ****ing irritating but all in all the bread and butter stuff is great.

The fourth patch (due soon) looks like it will put to bed most of the outstanding complaints. In the end it's €50 well spent but the release version is something SI should be ashamed of.

(sorry Vagga)

PiE

Aye, had the 3 patches installed, which came to almost 130megs afair. Considering the game itself is only ~400megs that's a feckin' disgrace.

I'll give it another try come EP4 though.

Oh and yea, thumbs up for the board btw :]

ozt9vdujny3srf

Unfortunately some of us can't be downloading huge patches. I'd say the shoddy release version was because the game had already taken so long to complete anyways.

I s'pose the fact that patches can be released for buggy games on the internet means games can be released in such buggy states.Slightly irritating but there ya go :mad:

On a side note, although cm4 took me a while to get into, i farkin wub it now!! Hopefully soon enough i'll be back to my lower div antics!!! Its odd that I actually like the game at all, seeing as i don't really follow football much

Lafortezza

Its bad that the games was release in such a state, the long term injury bug was so feckin annoying.
The good thing is that we've had 3 "Enhancement Packs":rolleyes: so far, and the game was only released in March, so they are committed to making things better and getting it right.

If you have a very slow internet connection the most recent patches are on some magazine cover disc, PC Zone is one afaik,
and for the price of a dublin pint you could get the patch burned on a CD in an internet cafe.

Are we going to get a forum after all?

tinofapples

But don't you all think that the game should have been released bug free and complete and not requiring patches ??

In a perfect world yes, but if they had delayed it until it became pretty much playable with EP3 (ie fairly recently), then they would have had to delay it until August when season 2003/2004 starts,

SI would have gone bust by then, CM is what they rely on for the readies

Thanx 4 The Fish

So is this board a flyer or not ?

GuanYin

It seems to be ignored by the admins when I've seen a few go up in the time this thread has been running.

The funnything is, nearly everybody has had a go at this and the scope for discussion on the game is huge.

If you build it...they will come!

Great idea, my head is hungover at the moment but later I will try think of another CM thread to start - and if others do the same there will be several CM discussions going on.

It's easy to ignore CM if it is just fitting into one neat little thread.

The new threads have to be good though

Is there one on the best players to buy yet?

Maybe a boasting thread - stuff like sligo rovers winning the 1st division (it'll never happen)?

Novel tactical formations - which formations are best against which (ie what's best played against a defensive 442 etc).

Can't start 4 r 5 threads myself so feel free to use those ideas for new threads and your own inventive minds;)

Thanx 4 The Fish

I am not sure if that is such a good idea Pete, if it's coming then it's gonna and if it's ruled out then I am sure the discussion will be closed, thread locked etc.

Or not. A CM used to exist. No one posted to it. It vanished. End of story.

If you do a search you would know this.

Making it again? *shrug*. It may shut you people up about a boring game so you have my vote.

irishgeo

iwe could have it private and then only us die hard fans can use it, and save the souls of the others.

ironbrew

Add my name to the list of approvals:D

*someone PM me or something to let me know if the board is up,because i probally won't search for 1 r be bach at this thread agai.

pweeeassssee.......


Spanks;)

irishgeo

Yes or no answer Devore please.

ironbrew

DeVore will answer in his own time i think...don't rush him or he'll get annoyed.

50Cent

why the hell do you want a CM forum when the biggest and best most informative one is available on http://community.sigames.com/1/OpenTopic or www.championshipmanager.co.uk and then clicking on community forum.

WHY WHY WHY cant you just use that one? It would whip Boards one anyday...

And the 4'th patch is out now...

p.pete

Those other forums I'm sure are good but I personally wouldn't be too bothered to check a dedicated (although probably better) fourm all that often.

At the moment I spend quite a lot of time on boards and CM topics would be of interest to me as they come up. Most likely there is a better, more dedicated forum somewhere else for all the individual forums on boards, that is not the point. One of the cool things about boards is it's diversity and that almost everything can be found here.

I don't want to have to go to one specific site for CM, one for Liverpool, one for personal issues, one for....., my head would explode.

50Cent

Well thats too bad if your head would explode.

If you have real personal issues...see a psychiatrist.

You can get a question answered instantly on that other board. A Cm board would not be that great on Boards.

p.pete

I can get a question answered regarding lots of other things elsewhere also, but is that the point. Surely there is other forums where questions on quake or battlefield can be answered instantly, but there is still a place for them here.

If I have real personal issues, I will see a psychiatrist, absolutely, sound advice - thanks.

My head is in no imenant danger of exploding (thanks to boards;) )

Villain

It won't hurt I mean theres loads of forums hardly used here so why not add CM.

Why add one more that wont be used.


Hobbes has already pointed out what nobody bothered to research and that is that THERE ALREADY WAS ONE and noone used it.

Theres loads of forums on boards that could be re-merged (im guessing Battlefield will be one in the future, ditto OpFlash if its not already gone) why create another?

po0k

In the interests of efficiency I suggest this solution.
Create a combined Championship Manager and Excel Spreadsheet Training Course forum.
The subject matter of each is so similar it would be sheer madness not to do this.

p.pete

It was a poor choice of words by irish1, easily picked on. The battlefield board seems quite healthy to me - haven't a notion what it's about but then I'm not going to be using it so I don't need to. The one or two other recent threads I've seen regarding CM have done quite well. Boards has grown and now could be a good time to give it a go again. Isn't there any probationary way of creating the board?

Thanx 4 The Fish

And the Lord of The rings board was removed and replaced, was there a Gaa board before that was removed and replaced ? Both of these boards are going alright now and they obviously were not when they were removed.

Just because there wasn't any interest in it before does not mean that there will not be any now. There have been quite a few people expressing an interest in it and if the board flops then I wouldn't imagine that it would be a tremendous amunt of work to move/delete any threads on it if it were to be removed again.

anyway, keep heads down and just keep posting on it in games at the moment, soon all of the l33t Gam0rs will be screaming to get us off their board
