Football Manager 2014 Online Game
Are we go tonight? (Given the 9pm start I am a maybe)
Is there still space to join? What are the teams available (If so).
Hey guys,
A couple of years back we had an online game of Football Manager run by Tegal, where we played in the Championship and all took charge of a side and played against each other. However it was a bit of a nightmare because of the lack of decent online support from FM's end and Tegal never being at home to run the game. So we are going to try again!
We will be playing the Championship again, and would love for as many people to join us as possible. The league is half full at the moment, so there is still room for 12 other players to join in the fun.
Timetable:
We will be playing at the following times each week:
| Tuesday | 7pm - 10pm |
| Wednesday | 9pm-12am |
| Friday | 8pm - 11pm |
| Sunday | 7pm - 10pm |
How to connect:
When the game is running, complete the following steps to connect.
- Click 'Join Online Game'
- Type 'yellow_fever' into the Server name box, and hit Search.
- Select the Yellow Fever game that appears in the search box
- Enter the password 'gonix13'
- You're in!
Once you're in, you can go ahead and create your manager, and choose the team that you've reserved in the thread. Please keep the 'experience' setting when you sign up as Automatic so that we are all on a level playing field.

are we meant to be playing tonight? I can't seem to find the game
I'd be a bit keen to join something like this, although how does it work with the timezones? Can I make all my transfer offers, set my formations, put my players up for sale, etc, when you are all asleep, and then see what happens when I log back in the next day? Actually, can I even join the game from the UK? If the first question is yes, how many weeks are you expecting to play in an average session? It will be a bit pointless if I put my transfer bids in and set my formations, and then check again and 3 months has passed with my assistant manager in control - it will not really be me playing.
Edit - timezones issues as I am based in UK.

you have to change your steam download "location" from the UK to New Zealand
We all have to be online at the same time, so you'll have to be on in the early morning (?) while we are playing in the evenings
yeah, my "job" may get in the way of that.
"Hey boss, can I work from home every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday? I am trying to get Scunthorpe to the Premier League"
Keen to join in guys. I'll take Forest if still available ...

I'd be fine with this if I was your boss.
Going to kick this off again at 8pm as per the schedule, hopefully some of you can make it.
keen...
anyone else not able to find the server?
Hi. Is anyone on. Can't see server either ...
Just waiting for for Steam to update... will be online v soon
all good - thanks Patrick.
Okay server up, finally
Guessing your the one who's taken over Nottingham, Baba?
got two of my loan signings.. fingers crossed I get some more..
The server seems to be running really really well tonight, it's advancing the game clock every minute perfectly, just like it should. Much better than Sunday night, thats for sure.
yeah it's much better playing experience - less people maybe?

Perhaps, but it actually seems to be respecting the settings I have set up rather than ignore them like it did before.
Also, I'm running it on my old desktop computer with a wired internet connection rather than my new laptop of wifi, that might have made a difference.
Is it okay with you lads if we finish up at 9.30? There's only three of us playing and the A-League is on
yeah cool with me.
Hi. I have taken Forest. Cheers
9:30 good with me too.
when i get to a game it's gets super weird..i was going through the pre-match stuff - picking my lineup and then it flicked to the game and it wasn't the lineup i had and then flicked back out of the game and now it's like that never happened and now i am not even up to the pre-match stuff again now... odd.
no - wait - I did play the game and won 6-1 but i didn't get to do any of it??

Yeah it's weird for me too, it freezes about 3/4 of the way through the game. Are you sure you hit submit on your team before the auto-advance advanced to the game? I'll make the time you have to select your tactics longer to make sure you have enough time.
Okay, now you have 3 minutes to select tactics before a match instead of 30 seconds, should solve that problem.
i dunno - even if i didn't i have my team setup in the main screen anyway - so there should have been no reason for the lineup to change - very odd.
Have checked my assistant manager to make sure I didn't put him in charge - and i didn't so yeah...
Okay, saving the game and will end it in a minute.
cheers.

That's very strange. I'll pay closer attention at the next match I play and see if the same thing happens to me. I have no idea what would cause that :/
Might give Sunday night a miss because the Phoenix are playing, but will be back next Tuesday night.
yep cool - thanks mate.
Thanks for game. See ya Tuesday.
Patrick, my laptop is dying, might be a late starter to all of this. Its overheating too much and too quickly, then shuts itself down. Grrrrrrrr. Hope to have a look at it tomorrow.
we are playing tonight right?
oh tuesday - my bad.. silly boy
Yep, playing tonight, 8pm. Hopefully we can get most of you on board tonight and are see if the server runs as smoothly as it did on Friday with 3 of us playing.
