Jimmy_x_'s Pro Network Career Game thread (Still accepting players, Apply Now!)

I could play any other day of the week depending on what time and for how long. Have you guys decided on the playing times?
 
Hey, I'm interested if it's still okay to join?


Steam name : xMiiNTz (same as Forum name)


Any league is fine by me.


Available all week (and most weekend) evenings from 6PM onwards (unless it's close to University exams)
 
Hello,

I'd just like to inform any members reading this that I am still accepting requests to join the game. The league is well underway but I am happy to welcome players.

That said, I must stress that the I am only interested in enthusiastic players who can really commit a decent amount of time to the game. We will be playing most evenings and till quite late on. Inconsistent players are not welcome!

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Jimmy_x_'s Pro Network Career Game thread!

Greeting message


Every year there comes a point where I have maximized the enjoyment I could possibly have from FM playing single-player saves. This year is no different, and I am here again in these forums in search of a multiplayer game to liven things up! Whilst I normally start my network career games in the summer after the last patch, I feel quite keen to get one started this winter period and garner some interest and credible players (in the long term) for my summer network career game. Id like for this thread to serve as the home for all information about my future network games, so feel free to stop by here every once in a while for your latest news or should you wish to contact me.


The Plea


I am looking to start a network game between 2-4 players. If everything is in order ASAP we will start the game tonight, if not in the late afternoon tomorrow. The proposed league has not yet been decided as all confirmed players will have a say as to what league we play in. However, there will be no restrictions on what tier team you can be within the selected league, meaning that players are welcome to be top or low table teams.

Here are a list of requirements potential candidates for the game must be able to meet:


- Players must be committed and experienced network gamers
- Players must be willing to see out a long term network career game
- Players can commit to 4 evenings/afternoons a week at the very minimum
- Players are friendly and personable, and willing to put a bit of banter about
- Players must play the game in a competitive spirit
-Players must understand that losing is a part of football and not be disheartened or lose interest in the game
- Players must inform other members if their absence from a game is foreseen.

Here are a list of rules for the game:

- Players must not bid on human teams staff members (excluding assistant managers)
- Players are welcome to poach human team players
- Players are welcome to unsettle human team players for psychological purposes
- Players must not buy more than 2 players a season using monthly installments
- Players must produce 60% of transfer fee upfront if paying by installments
- Any other rules will be established once all players are confirmed




Game Times


View attachment 462370


I understand that everybody has their own lives to get on with and their fair share of urgent and unforeseen issues to attend to. In this light, I would ask that players can commit to at least 4 (hopefully more) afternoons/evenings of fm a week at minimum. Of course, if we can commit to more days, that'd be great. Exact game times will be discussed and confirmed between all members before we end each session so as to unsure that everyone can get on at the most convenient time. Any frequent absences will result in being kicked from the game. I will encourage all confirmed players to add each other on steam, however this thread should be used as your first port of call for communication, should your steam not work or you realise late on that you won't be able to make a game session.



How to apply!


Well, if you are still with me at this point then i'm sure you are the dedicated, committed and enthusiastic kind of player i am looking for! If you would like to apply for the game please leave your steam ID, preferred league choice and availability in a comment. If you would like to keep your steam ID personal then feel free to pm me and i will contact you as soon as i can. Remember, this is just a smaller winter game i am trying to run, hence why i have capped the game number to 5 as i am really looking for committed players. However, if you would still like to get involved please don't hesitate to leave your details as i will be running my normal summer network game later on in the year and will be checking this thread regularly to see who really is interested. So please do keep your eyes on this thread!

Okay mate im happy for you to join! However, I am quite wary of the fact that you have never played online before.
I need you to understand that network games are slower than ordinary games, they speed up over the time, but they will never be as fast as a single player game. Also, summer transfer periods take time and the only fun to be had their is your signings so you have to be patient once your own dealings are done for everyone else to finish. Imagine how often the game stops for you in a single player game, now times that by the amount of time the game stops for different reasons for 5 different people.

That being said, network games are very fun, and in my opinion much more enjoyable than single player saves as its more competitive. Hope this helps give you an insight into what they are like, if you are still interested comment back and ill add you on steam right away.
 
yea I expected nothing less!!! should be good though, im happy to join in if you will accept me, are we playing tonight?
