First of all, I am at a computer terminal at school and I still haven't figured out how to post my screenshots to an image-hosting site online, so screenshots will be coming soon.
I started off my game with Rila (Belitsa), who are a Bulgarian amateur team, that no longer exist.
Right off the bat I had to edit the database to maky my team playable.
I had to change their status to professional, create a stadium of 1500 (instead of the default 200), the stadium is much bigger in real life actually. I put them in the appropriate division in Bulgaria (Western B). Did something sneaky which was add a youth academy to my team (very rare in Bulgaria). Also gave myself wage budget and finances which were equal to the last placed team in the division (fair I think)
When I started, I was offered a 4 year deal and all my players and staff were regens.
It was a tremendous hurdly trying to convince any player to join my team (my reputation was only 200). However i found that by loaning in players was a good bet, because the team made the decision on whether to send their players out and it wasn't made based on reputation, but how much playing time they would get. Needless to say i loaded up on a load of talented 18 year olds and my wage budget was almost gone.
I managed to win promotion in my first season, after being stronhly tipped for relegation (based on my reputation I think as the next worst team had a reputation of 2200) and every match I was facing odds of 50-1 (again based on reputation I think)
Will continue later, with screenshots.
