Alright welcome to my Hibs story for Football Manager 2014, hopefully my only story for this game. And hopefully unlike last year I don't suffer game save corruptions where I have to start again.
And hopefully my new laptop doesn't be a little **** like my last one and **** out on me (Using a HP Pavilion G6 for those wondering)
My dream story would be to emulate stonecold's Aberdeen story from last year in which he just ran away with the whole thing. Seen a few stories in which people transform an average club like Aberdeen, this year is Tranmere (can't remember who is writing that).
The database is completely up to date (Felix Magath is Fulham manager)
I will hold my hands up and say that I did use the editor at the start. But that was to only change player positions which they play strongly in real life, but either have a poor rating there or don't play there in the game e.g. Kevin Thomson isn't listed as a DM in game despite being one IRL. Also to add a few preferred moves to players to make them more like their counterparts IRL, such as Alex Harris trying to take players on more.
So, now that we're sitting comfortably... could the gentleman in the front row please wipe the sick off his face?... Anyway, in the words of Bane; Let The Games Begin!
