That's pretty good Eric. Addictive stuff.
Can see how they make their money though :o :o. Lots of real $$$
for the 'virtual coins' and 'gold bars'. I'm playing on the iPad
as the phone was just too small - got the kid playing on there
:D.
Like the interaction with the transfer market too. Nifty stuff.
Top of the table after 8 games averaging 4.5 goals/game. But,
got to give them a rest now, they're all knackered.

Yeah its good fun eh. I got stuck last night cos my players as
one of my players had got injured. Im trying to find ways of
playing it so that I dont have to pay real money for anything.
Ie when you have to wait for training to take effect and so on,
ill just wait, not fussed about using my supply of gold
bars/coins to speed things along.
Oh but on the injury, I didnt think i had any reserves so was on
transfer market trying to bid for young, fairly average players
with my 45k coins, kept getting outbid tho, didnt see that the
auctions were on a timer as such. The 'World Transfer' tab
seemed like a live auction (ie buying from other players) could
be mistaken tho. Anyway after sitting idle trying to buy a
reserve defender for 15 mins, I realised that i actually did
have some reserves (and you will have too) so you can just sub
them in for the low condition players. Just about to get back
on it lol.
Had to watch i didnt accidetnally pay the £9.99 for a premium
stadium like the Emirates lol. That would be a disaster.

Just spent a few minutes alternating between the 2 devices. Some
of those training exercises on the iPhone is so small!
Also didn't realise that there was a bench, at first. The kid
mentioned it first & then I realised that you could send them to
the 'transfer list' as such. They show up in the 'reserves'
section, so it's nice to see what they are worth as well as
their rating.
Agreed on the bit around it being a live auction with real
people. Cool idea actually. Seeing some players around the 220k
mark for a 45-50 rated player.
I accidentally used up heaps of coins upgrading some areas of
the stadium. Got to wait another 4-odd hours for that to
complete :).
Not using the gold bars - need to save up to buy the
nutritionist to speed up their recovery.

Im alright with the training stuff, if i get 2-4 stars spirit i
figure thats enough. I do find the penalties quite hard.
Also when it comes to matches the crossing can be tricky but im
getting the hang of it.
Dropped to 3rd in the league after losing to a title rival.
Even for the 1st time used the attacking boost at half time when
i was 2 down but to no avail. had couple of chances but the
Trabzon keeper was playing like a TOTY card, diving across the
goal to save my goalbound shots. Dam. Never mind sitting in
3rd position now so still in promotion spots.

and dropped out the promotion places :o

Yeah Eric - some games do end up being a bit ... erm ...
FIFA-like? The expression/comment on the kid's face when he
conceded an 89th min goal was quite pretty funny.
In training I'm trying to curve the ball more. On the iPad it's
relatively easy to get 6-8 stars. I try get into a bit of a
rhythm - especially with penalties. I don't bother about the top
ones or anything like that. Short jab-like swipes just to get
the ones in the middle or close to.
Still on top after 17 games, but my midfield is only about
60-70% fit - even after an 8-hr layoff. Stadium is also upgraded
now too. Got a little over 6600 attendance last game.
There is by no means instant gratification (unless you spend
some real cash - lots of it too) ... and that's good!

Eric ... saw a 73-rated keeper :o ... top bid was 571k!
... and a 63-rated striker for 1.29M!
Damn!

Holy cr@p Kiwi, its nuts isnt it. Will we ever be able to
compete at that level without putting real money in? do we need
to given we dont play against other human opponents? I dont
know.
Rather than spend my 50k odds on an average player, I've done
the same as you and developed a couple of extra stands. Wait
24 hours roughly for those to be built. What benefits do you
get from that? higher coin yield from matches???? sure as heck
hope so.

Yeah mate. It is crazy.
Yup - you do get the extra revenue. I think we're going to have
to spend a little at least. I see that when you buy a gold pack,
you get a commercial manager which gives you 150% of gate
receipts. That's $2.50 for me & probably will do it given that
I'm just scraping by every game now with no coins left for
upgrades and barely affording the upgrade to the keeper after
each game.
Man, they do make it tempting to buy it.

Yeah i know what you're saying :) it has crossed my mind on
occasion that to buy just one wouldnt do any harm. I mean hey
if you enjoy it its only like you say $2 or whatever, beats
buying fifa packs. Just got up today and my stadium upgrades
are complete, nice 10k capacity now. Have watched some vids,
not that many, and actually have about 5k shy of what i had
prior to upgrading.
Im back on track for promotion now, sitting 2nd after about 22
games or maybe a few more. Got my sights sets on Trabzon in
1st place. Funnily enough when they beat me earlier in the
season they had a player called Yilmaz that scored against me.
Just going back to the staff thing and how you said you were
saving for a nutrionist, how you getting on with that? cos if
im right they cost like 200 gold bars and thats one thing that
seems really hard to accumulate, i think i still have around 55
despite having been playing the game for quite a bit.
It must be a good game tho cos its the first thing i done when i
got up today lol.
