I got this for myself yesterday - on behalf of my wife of course. Anyway, I just had the Nix first team play the Nix under 18's in a friendly.

 

I've had to transfer Elrich in under the editor software but this looks sh*t hot! The squad is very current other than the Elrich transfer.

 

The Stadium whilst not looking like the Wellington Stadium (Yet!) is a BIG improvement on the North harbour Stadium in the Fifa 2008 game. I can change the colour of the seats to yellow too.

 

I'm buzzing. i've found one bug so far in the editor but I know a patch will quickly appear on the Fifa Manager forums. Sorry Ricki, you're no longer the manager of the Nix, I am! hehehe.

In this version you can be a player/manager too! Play as any player during a game or play as player/manager as yourself!

Click on "options" in the top right hand corner. Select 3D options. On the right hand side you can select was keys or gamepad keys you want to use and for what function.

 

Enjoy! I've played as Manager and as a player, but not as a Player Manager yet. Might try that in a few minutes.

Not when you start but if you play but not as a nat team manager during the game you may get offered the AW's. I managed them in 2007. They came up during world cup season as 1 of 3 countries offered. The same hopefully in this game. Then sign for as long as you can!!

Hey does anyone know how to offer your kid a youth contract? i click on his photo in private life, but no options or anything come up??

Permalink Permalink

over 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

I havent figured that out yet and I've tried via contracts, via youth team etc. I did notice that after my first season quite a few youth were automatically signed up - yet I am in charge of signings. No doubt there'll be an answer or it's a bug.

 

Playing as a player including myself I get tackled far too easily although i do win a fair few free kicks too!

Yep, select the player when his screen opens up, on the left hand side is an orange square, click on it! It says offer contract if you run your mouse over it.

Eh? Are you trying to give your son a contract?

 

I went into the contract menue and chose the U18 team and chose my youth player from there!

Wait, dont worry Lone. For some odd reason there is another confederations cup... Weird. So I'll take some pics in there.

I have a great newcomer in the team this year, Michael Henderson, came up from the youth squad last year, hes the top goal scorer in the league so far.

Sweet New Zealand qualified for the 2010 World Cup.

 

That means Harry Peters is in the squad for the World Cup.

 

Hes New Zealand's only goal scorer this year, with 6 in the confederations cup.

 

Been in pretty bad form for Newcastle though.

Me and Smeltz just before the second half.

We lost 2-1 to Wales in the opening World Cup game. I scored off a header, shame about the loss.HarryPeters2007-12-02 20:00:47
