bmt Posted 13 June 2012 Posted 13 June 2012 It does as long as the first 12 months' worth of payment is within your budget. I wasn't sure at first, either, but it's definitely true. Obviously it's a stupid idea to spend 100m on transfers, however, unless you're going to have the self control to buy NOBODY for the next three or four seasons or you'll just cripple the club. Fair enough, still though, he's definitely used the editor to afford the wages of Bosingwa, Kaboul, de Jong, Rodwell etc. De Jong alone must have asked for c.£200k to go to a worse team. Not that I have a problem with it, you play the game how you wish.

I can upload the save if you really doubt me that much, biggest wage I have is £70k.
Cal Posted 13 June 2012 Posted 13 June 2012 Oh and for the record De Jong is on £52k a week, he only played 12 games for Man City last season.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 13 June 2012 Posted 13 June 2012 Resigned from Dnipro to concentrate on the Brazil job. Rebuffed offers from Dortmund, Dynamo Kiev and Newcastle but Man City came calling didn't they. I feel so, so dirty but just couldn't refuse. To many rupees offered.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 Okay I won't. Just won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup with Leicester and the World Cup with England in my last season by good tactical decisions and sensible financial management lol Wind your neck in, kid, you aren't Mourinho - this game is a piece of piss.
bmt Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 lol Wind your neck in, kid, you aren't Mourinho - this game is a piece of piss. Mourinho has nothing on me. (You're right, and I wasn't trying to show off, if anybody plays for long enough and carefully enough they have similar results, I just resent being told I don't have a right to an opinion by someone who's clearly chatting shit and has no idea what they're doing- amended my comment )
Mark_w Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 lol Wind your neck in, kid, you aren't Mourinho - this game is a piece of piss. That's sort of the point, the game isn't really that difficult so what's the point in using the 'Over 48 months' tactic on practically every transfer. I find that playing the game realistically is a lot more enjoyable as I'm sure most others do, but I guess he paid for it and he can do what he wants with it.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 I don't think that paying over 48 months is unrealistic, it's just budgeting outside the box. If you bankrupt the club you'll get sacked so you still need to measure the risk. It's just spending a few seasons' worth early on banking on success to bring you more money. Oh and you don't know Cal I'd cheating, it's possible he got De Jong on a reasonable wage, its all circumstantial. Ozil was just available, for example, on my game for about 10m and was being courted by some ridiculously shit clubs, purely because he had fallen out with Vincenzo Montella who was managing Real and was severely unhappy.

This is pretty much what I was saying, hence the 'play how you want at the end of my post'. However, I also don't think those transfers are possible. The maths just doesn't seem right- saying that, I'm not sure how generous his board are as it seems to differ massively on which update you're playing on.

If you bankrupt the club you'll get sacked so you still need to measure the risk. No, but doing it to bring in tons of players who just wouldn't join a newly promoted Championship team is. I'm not saying it's wrong to do it once or twice when there's a player you desperately want, but doing it to instantly build an incredible squad just doesn't seem that much fun to me.

Well just from my previous experience of transfer and wage budgets after getting promoted those signings seem ridiculous. If he has done it, fair play to him as he'll be able to compete pretty quickly. I've never seen a player like de Jong take such a wage drop whilst in contract to make such a steep downward career dive, when there would be many other suitors around for him if he was on the market, it's a bit different to a player falling out with a manager and being available cheaply. As I've said anyway, play the game how you want.

I feel so, so dirty but just couldn't refuse. To many rupees offered. I also resigned from Dnipro yesterday after three and a half years. Haven't really achieved much though so struggled to get a job at a level anywhere near Dnipro's. All I've done is get to the knockout stages of the Europe League and won the Ukranian Cup (which no top teams seem to give a toss about, Shakhtar got beat by a team in the final who had just got relegated to D3) After nearly a year out I got offered the Iran job Something new for me like...
FoxLAD Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 At the moment Stevenage.. there amazing on the game!! predected 24th but i'm 4th atm!.. with some free signings witch i signed start of the seanson and made a HUGE profit on (well not huge.. just huge for a team like stevenage) Lee Molyenux (if thats how you spell it) and joann Smith (wrong i know!) made me 100K each!, witch help towards signing joe mckee (free kicks and pens on 20!) jed steer and akwasi asante(21 games 19 goals in the league) and with there current players (freeman 16 goals from wing) Botswick 10 goals and big jon ashton 10 goals from defence... TOP TEAM!

You can't make a player join you that wouldn't otherwise by paying his transfer over 48 months. All that does is let you afford a clubs' asking price, if a player thinks you're too small fry he won't negotiate. Well just from my previous experience of transfer and wage budgets after getting promoted those signings seem ridiculous. If he has done it, fair play to him as he'll be able to compete pretty quickly.

As I've said anyway, play the game how you want. Like I said, it's unusual but you don't know what else is going on. If a player is desperate to leave a club he will actually go pretty low to get out, De Jong might have been very upset on his save. Or, actually, De Jong just might not be that ambitious. Leicester have a good board, reasonably big starting status for a champ club, decent training facilities and Cal might have set himself to former international manager when he started which'll get him a tidy rep. When I got promoted in the last version I signed Christian Eriksen and Nicolas Lodeiro straight away, sometimes you just get lucky.

But in reallity some of those players just wouldn't join a newly promoted club under any circumstances. More a fault with the game IMO.
Finnegan Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 Well, yes, likely true but transfers have been far too easy on the last few versions of this game.

Over three seasons I won 3 leagues, 3 cups, 2 super cups and a Europa League and got called 'World Class'. In all fairness my road through the EL was piss, teams like Trabzonspor, Lille and Valencia in the final! Had to leave because I'd started to buy too many foreigners and the rules over in Ukraine mean you need so many domestic players etc. Only problem is all the best domestic (Ukrainian) players play for either Shakhtar or Metalist who are both fierce rivals who will never, ever sell so they just get stronger, especially Shakhtar who are minted. The players will never move, anyway. Did a Guardiola and left once the going got tough. Konoplyanka and Guiliano are absolute worldies for Dnipro, though.
Brainy Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 They are. Always struggled for defenders though to the point where that Pashaev fella who was nearly always 1.5 stars got about 25 games minimum for me per season He helped with the foriegners rule though, I found a Ukrainian keeper called Bokyo from Kyiv were after two seasons had offers of 6m from clubs. Konoplyanka/Olynyik/Rotan/Cheberyachko often being regulars helped me pass the regulations though. A mate started with them at the same time and by the time 2016 came around the forigners rule had gone though. 2016 Euro's had finished and about 15 jobs became available, had applied for all and got offers from Serbia, Sweden, Belgium, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Ukraine. Ukraine all the way Right at the start of a WC quali campaign, lovely
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 Ha, Rotan is a class above in all. They've got a striker too, Antonov? Always bagged a few for me and like you say, helped with the foreigners rule, so did Zozulya. I ended up buying Tymoschyuk to try and address the balance, kept buying South Americans on the cheap! Domestic Player Bias - ZERO.
Brainy Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 Yeah the scouts are better than i'm used to anywhere else and they kept finding young gems from somewhere. I then had a few youth candidates who came through who I regularly tried to blood into the team, they were potential 3.5/4 stars and Ukranian . Just a shame I ran the club dry in the first season cause I was ****ed financially after season 1 . I left in the end though since I didn't feel my team could hack winning atleast 80% of games in the season, Shakhtar were too good, plus I had ***** like Inkoom, Strinic, Kalinic, Boating, Guiliano who kept requesting transfers then wanting to stay a day later.

I sacked Kalinic and Boateng off mate! Both crap for me.
Brainy Posted 14 June 2012 Posted 14 June 2012 I played 4-2-3-1 and went through season 2 having only 2 strikers (M Suarez and Sanogo). Since Sanogo was injury prone and Suarez wasn't much better I decided to keep Kalinic after failing to flog him. All the unhappy folks I wanted to get rid off at the end of S2 for the £££££££ but I went on a giant winning streak after the winter break so they ended the season pretty happy. Decided to keep them and yeah, didn't work out
Fox92 Posted 15 June 2012 Posted 15 June 2012 Okay I won't. I'd wish I could exploit a glitch to let me sign completely unrealistic targets. When I got promoted with Leicester, I signed Carlos Tevez and Adebayor, both of which had been released by Manchester City. They are both unrealistic, but they didn't ask for, and I didn't pay, massive wages.
