pathetic i think he meant....

And im a season into game without any saving.
 
I did it on my latest game, in the playoff final because I had spent 3 years trying to get out of the Championship with Crewe, worked my **** off to get automatic promotion, and finished 3rd on goal difference. So yes I did do it, only because I wouldn't have gone another season in the Champs :)

What on earth does 'perfectic' mean?

Means a perfectionist's personality. You can't ind it in the dictionary. Those dictionaries are out-dated. Go check WonderManager's Dictionary : Where words are made by you

I highly recommend that.FM 2011 is become so unrealistic. Star Players on free tranfers, L2 teams winning EPL teams, World Class head coaches got fired without reason.

After I saw Leyton Orient winning 2-1 over Aston Villa, my madness made me load the game even though i saved the game 3 months before.

As GodCubed and DMF have said, I used to do this too. The last time I replayed a match was in FM07, and I used to give my team lots of money by adding other managers and buying my **** players for megabucks. Haven't cheated for a few years now and it feels much better, although not always when I'm playing the game.

That's exactly what I did but the last time I did this was FM07.
 
Wow...FM07 was that hard? Just look at them talking "last time I cheated was during Fm07". Last time I cheated was 1 minute ago, really, it's the truth.
 
Don't see the point. Football Manager is about epic victories and humilating loses; is about impossible seasons and totally failure seasons; is about discover the next FWP or sign the most horrendous bluff; is about be the best manager ever or be some average manager....

Football Manager is about prescily that, be a FOOTBALL MANAGER, and in real life, managers don't get second chances...(H)
 
My mate re-loads all the time...it does'nt bother me.Surely if they are enjoying it thats all that matters...
Better than spending too much time playing games and cheating yourself out of a life.
 
I have done it quite a few times with Manchester United, as I was getting frustrated at continually losing to Chelsea with different tactics, formations, players etc. etc. But I've moved on.

The last time I did was vs. Reading in an F.A. Cup third round tie at home. I played a weak attack and I went on to lose 2-1, Simon Church header and a penalty. I restarted it and won 2-0. I couldn't bear losing to Reading and being knocked out of the F.A. Cup when I won it last year.

But if I lose to Bournemouth, it will be the 'Better luck next time' method and just get on with it. Even if they are in League One.
 
Have done it a few times but havnt done it since fm05.Takes the realism out of the game if ya do it!
 
In my second season with benfica, with 4 games to go i was gona play porto, which would be the deciding match. Considered of doing it, but i managed to win 3-0 :), and it felt so much better, so I never did it.
This season to qualify for the next stage of the champions league, again i considered it, but ended up thrashing valencia 4-1. Seems like the game can read my mind.
 
When I satrted playing I used to cheat and replay every game which finished without me as a winner. However, I realized how stupid that was, as you don't even feel pleasure for the awards, winning streaks, etc. I also used to add another managers to rich clubs and buy a reserve player for all their budget. Then retire and continued playing with the main team. Everything is fake and annoying. Then I really started playing FM, and stopped with the cheating. Since then, I only replay the games which I win but when, for some reason, I win but then the game crashes, I won't stop playing that game until I win, if it is a crucial game.
 
I'll admit, I used to do it on the 2007 & 2008 game, but since 2009, I've really made it more realistic, and overall more enjoyable :)
 
I've done it when I've accidently played the wrong player. Like one time I put Kieran Gibbs in goal, or my defender once got injured early in the game and I subbed in a striker for him :P I'd never do it just to get a result though.
 
I used to do it, nowadays I only do it in extreme cases, like extremely unfair games or champions league finals.
 
The only time I may do it is in the play-offs of the football league because of the lengths of the seasons I cant be bothered to lose

Pretty much in the same boat as GodCubed. I don't anymore, but when the series first came outI used to cheat all the time, steal everyones money and best players so I had the best team
