Round 1 - Victorious Secrets v Bandits (completed)

I know the sim isn't great but it really was a choice between this or nothing. My hope is to be able to make improvements for it. I have however said that the sim is very basic and not great, I don't need cunts posting in basically every match thread that there are flaws with it. If it keeps going it can quite easily just go back to nothing.

 

Min. 16 : (bnd) AJ_James looks up for support for support
... He spots his team mate making a run now
... He plays it across to his team mate and runs forward now!
... JE_McGrath receives the pass and heads towards the goal
... GJ_Weaver wins the ball

Min. 19 : (bnd) SA_Humble could get a shot on goal here

... But the ref gives nothing!

Min. 20 : (bnd) BJT_Manera looks up for support for support
... He spots his team mate making a run now
... He plays it across to his team mate and runs forward now!
... ML_Martyn receives the pass and heads towards the goal
... A cracking drive from ML_Martyn !
... It's wide!
... 9 times out of ten he would have scored that!

 

Its ESMS so I think it was the same

 

FM is a massive ballache to set up though

 

It is not just the set up. It is also the running of it that is a pain from what I found when I was testing it last time. FM is really not designed for something like this.

 

Min. 21 : (vsf) The defender slips and falls over!
... WC_Welker is through!
... AJ_James with an awful challenge
... I don't think he meant anything other than trying to get the ball

Min. 22 : (vsf) DA_Eggman hits in a shot!
... It hits the defender
... LA_Pilgrim collects the loose ball!
... LA_Pilgrim fires the shot in!
... AD_Hunt blocks the shot with his legs
... And he gathers it!

Min. 23 : (vsf) SJ_Nova nutmegs ML_Martyn
... JE_McGrath reads the situation well and wins the ball
... But it goes out
... CORNER!
... HJ_Bots lofts the ball in!
... J_Torres gets a shot in
... It flies in!
... GOAL !!
... Look at the delight on his face!!
... But it's been disallowed. The linesman spotted a foul

Min. 23 : (bnd) BJT_Manera moves forward
... Driven towards goal by BJT_Manera !
... But RST_Downpipes punches it away
... That's gone out for a throw in

Min. 23 : (vsf) BC_Jacobs spots HJ_Bots who is in acres of space
... SA_Humble fouls badly
... The fans are chanting "OFF!!! OFF!!!
... He's warned for that one
... Anymore like that and he will find himself in the book

Min. 24 : (vsf) HJ_Bots loses his marker
... HJ_Bots with a powerful downward header!
... He couldn't have hit that shot much better!!
... But it thumps off the woodwork !!
... And goes safely clear!
... AD_Hunt never had a chance!

 

Spitting only gets a yellow card? Can be misused heaps.

 

Min. 27 : (bnd) T_Delonge controls the ball immaculately
... Leaves the defenders for dead
... This looks like it could be a great chance

... RST_Downpipes parries the shot
... And the defender clears it!

Min. 32 : (bnd) JE_McGrath retreats under pressure
... He hoofs the ball up field
... TA_Miokovic gets on the end of it
... A thundering drive by TA_Miokovic !
... RST_Downpipes makes himself big
... Superb Stop !
... Well that one would have delighted him

Min. 35 : (vsf) BC_Jacobs runs forward
... He only has going for the goal in mind!
... BC_Jacobs smashed the ball towards the bottom corner!
... AD_Hunt was lucky there

Min. 35 : (bnd) ML_Martyn picks up the loose ball and runs forward with it
... ML_Martyn shoots towards goal !
... But he got that all wrong

 

Yeh you'd have to completely cut out all player emotion etc. Though with the real time editor you could do things like multiseason contracts, transfer budgets, and players wanting out of clubs etc.

Would be difficult to run on a forum though

 

AWTA.

It is easier to manage this sort of thing in ESMS many times than FM. Bibu ran a league with this in the Asian subbie and we were having similar problems at the start, but i thing tweaking the settings a bit may make it slightly better.
