I've got the game now..enjoying it but its pretty slow going..Jawz has put me off now..not sure i could put up with even slower processing.Problem is it takes a few seasons to shape a team that you can call your own and theres no way we would get that far.

network games are generally alot slower.

the best idea to get a sense of competition, is a weekly/monthly challenge. type thing

for example (ima steal the format used from another forum, i used to visit)
though im finding the way the fm08 challenbges are run/organised crap to 2007 challwenges at this site
How do I play the Monthly Challenge?
Points are awarded for achievements ingame. These are then proven by posting screenshots for each season before the end of the challenge.

What are points awarded for?

Club Challenges
League

* Points you get in the league are halved to give you how many points you will receive. They are not rounded, so should you achieve 75 points you will get 37.5 points etc.

Cup win

* Winning the main domestic cup (such as the FA Cup) is worth 30 points.
* Finishing as runners up is worth 20 points.
* Semi finalists get 10 points.

* The secondary cup (such as the Carling Cup) is worth 20 points.
* Finishing as runners up is worth 10 points.
* Semi finalists get 5 points.

* The winner's cup (such as the Community Shield) is worth 10 points.

Continental

* The major tournament (such as the Champions League) is worth 45 points.
* Finishing as runners up is worth 30 points.
* Semi finalists get 15 points.
* Quarter finalists get 8 points.

* The secondary tournament (such as the UEFA Cup) is worth 30 points.
* Finishing as runners up is worth 20 points
* Semi finalists get 10 points.
* Quarter finalists get 5 points.

* The winner's tournament (such as the Super Cup) is worth 10 points.
* The World Club Championship is worth 10 points.


International Challenges
World Cup

* World Cup is worth 50 points.
* Runners up gets 40 points.
* Semi finalists get 30 points (3rd place playoff gets you nothing extra).
* Quarter finalists get 20 points (second round and group stage get you nothing)
* Qualifying in 1st place in qualifying stage group gets you 20 points.
* Qualifying otherwise is worth 10 points (including hosting it)

Continental

* Continental competition is worth 30 points.
* Runners up gets 25 points.
* Semi finalists get 20 points.
* Quarter finalists get 15 points (group stage gets you nothing_
* Qualifying in 1st place in qualifying stage gets you 15 points.
* Qualifying otherwise is worth 7 points (including hosting it).

Confederations Cup

* The Confederations Cup is worth 15 points (earlier stages get you nothing).


How do I post an image?

* Press the Print Screen key whilst viewing the screen you want on Football Manager.
* Open MS Paint or other image editing program.
* Click on the Edit menu, then Paste.
* Save the image as a JPEG (.jpg) file.
* Go to www.imageshack.us
* Click the Browse button and find the file you wish to upload.
* Copy the link marked as 'Thumbnail for forums (1)'
* Paste the link into a post in the challenges' screenshots topic.

Is there a limit to how many seasons I can play?
Yes, 3 seasons for a club and 5 tournaments for a country.

NOTE: The amount may vary for a challenge depending on the length of the amount of time the challenge will last. Check the challenge itself for conformation.

Can I post my own challenge?
Sure, but don't post more than one at once, and don't make topics asking about challenges

How many leagues can I load? What size database can I load? How many players can I load?
As many as you are comfortable with. If you want to have a small database with just the league(s) needed, that's up to you. As long as you load the league(s) required I don't care what else you load.

Can I use an custom database?
No. The only databases allowed are the official ones for each game. No using a different database as it could give you an unfair advantage.

What level should my manager be when I load? Automatic? International footballer?
I don't care. It probably does make a difference but I don't care. If you want to make yourself a former international footballer that's up to you.

What if I get fired?
Then your points tally isn't going to be high with you not working for the club/country anymore is it? No making a new manager.

Can I change club/country? Can I be a club and country manager?
No and no.

Did anyone actually ask you these or did you think at 3:20 in the morning that the forum needed tidying up?
Erm...

-----------------------------------------------------------

and this was 07

1.) Winning the league is worth 20 points, and second place is worth 17 points, and third is 14 points and so on. (Promotion is not worth any bonus points)

2.) Each end of the year awards are 4 points for first place, 2 points for second and 1 point for third. (These include: European player of the Year, World player of the year, and international awards such as Golden Boots but only as a national team manager.)

3.) 3+ wins are worth 1 point. (Ex. Manchester United beats Arsenal 4-1)

4.) Hat-tricks are worth 2 points.

5.) If you get appointed as a National team manager you will get 7 points, and each competitive win as a National team manager will be awarded with a 2 points. A World Cup win awarded with 20 points, and Euro Championship/Copa America will be awarded with 17 points. Each lesser tournament will be awarded with 14 points. (Friendlies do not count, and all hat-tricks and 3+ count.)

6.) Stadium expansions and training ground upgrades are worth 5 points.

7.) Domestic Cups are worth 10 points.

8.) Champion’s League/Copa Libertadores/AFC Champion’s League wins are worth 20 points. UEFA Cup wins are worth 14 points. (All hat-tricks and 3+ wins are counted.) Each continental win outside of the qualifying will be worth one point.

---------------------------------
im guessing as theres only 3 of us, we should just select a certain team and see who can achieve more after so many seasons

Only problem with that is you can save game at any time and replay games you've lost.We'd need referees standing behind us while we play Smile
