Also marshall, regards to Mansour owning City and Melbourne Heart, in affiliated clubs, what happens if you click "Same Board"?
Just curious!
 
I get all sorts of XML parsing errors?! I guess its just my game cause ive been running earlier updates which worked flawless! Could you please tell me how to stop these errors?:) Thanks in advance!
 
Yo Marshall, congrats on the....demolition (was going to say rape, but lets avoid poor taste) today. I was just wondering: how is Rooney/Van Persie/Yaya/Aguero/Wilshere/Suarez/Kompany (you know the really good players in the Prem) stand up against Hazard's CA/PA? I noticed a discussion whether Hazard should be improved or not, can't remember the stats in-game, but a finishing upgrade might be in order if its not high already, being Chelsea's top scorer and all.

When you download, delete everything apart from the single xml/zip file which is my update.. apparently there is a folder downloaded too

Very very good result, wasn't it!

Hazard is right up there, a CA/PA is not needed as he is already 170CA and high 180's in PA .. few stats ill tweak but ca is fine for now
 
Emyr Huws on loan at Birmingham from Man City has been given the MoM in his first two games from WhoScored.

Today's game:
View attachment 424085

Also got an assist in his first match.

At the moment he's a natural LM in game and competent on both wings. So a position change to natural CM and competent on both LM and RM, and bring down his ratings for LW and RW (I don't think I've ever seen him play in these positions) - btw this isn't going off his two games for Birmingham, he appeared regularly for Citys EDS in CM and whenever he's played for the senior side a couple of times he's come on in CM as well. Also needs a boost in potential, he's currently -6(!) which is a bit of a joke, as he along with Lopes are two of our best young players at the moment, which shows as he's come straight into the Birmingham side and looked assured, which is impressive for any 20 year at that level. So maybe a -8? He definitely needs a boost in PA, he's currently 75, so somewhere around 100-115 (your shout) would be fair in my opinion. Ultimately its up to you what you do with him, but he does need looking at.

will take a look
 
Any way to change Man Uniteds media predicted finish at the start of the game? Seems a bit unrealistic to be given such high expectation at a club which for the past few months shows real proof of decline. I know there's expectation to begin with, a club of Uniteds stature, but from an up to date point of view, would the Glazers expect someone to take over from Moyes position and be demanded the title, y'know?

I've noticed this when editing teams for fun in the database, example: I'll add 15 CA/PA to every player in Manchester City or Arsenals squad and their media predicted finish will rise, making Arsenal to be predicted finish 2nd and City 1st.

An interesting one when you think about it. Would you say reducing Man Uniteds players, except the obvious stand-outs in the likes of Rooney, RVP and Mata by 15, could possibly add a little spice to the realism of your next update?

Man utd have already been done.. you cannot change the predicted finish manually so the only way to make them have a lower predicted finish would be to set their players at an unrealistically low level
 
Hi LFCMarshall
Thank you for your update.
Could u improve the staff of Celtic and Olympiacos in Greece?
If we want to be competitive with these teams, we must change all the staff and for the side realistic is a problem...

Thank u.

what are the changes needed?
 
Yo Marshall, how about giving Rafael 1 in crossing ability? Joking aside: I think Sidwell should have a slight upgrade.

- Pace is too low imo, he is a workaholic first and foremost, but he posseses OK speed, in the game he is really, really slow (10/11). Personally I would rate him 13/13 or something. To put it in perspective, he is currently as fast as Michael Dawson, the world's slowest football player.

- I would also upgrade his tackling to 15 or thereabouts. 13 seems low for a player who's prime ability is his tackling and agression.

- A slight strength upgrade could also be in place. He has 13, which is not low and he is by no means a beefcake, but he plays like he should have 20. So one or two up too 14/15 maybe? For me the strength ability could be divided into natural strength (Lukaku etc.) and people who use all their strength despite their slight frame (Messi, Henderson, Suares (to use Liverpool as an example).
