If you read the thread as it went, rather than trying to play CM 02/03 (which incidentally is NOT called 02/03, its called CM4) you'd know the following

1- There are 2 lists of teams available

2- We haven't decided a start date, because everyone has different times when they are available

3- (And this has been mentioned time and time again) You need to download the 4.1.4 update from http://www.sigames.com and then the 4.1.5 update, you MUST get 4.1.4 before 4.1.5

Tony Montana 03-09-2004 06:48 PM

While waiting for my mum to go and get me a copy of Champ Manager 03/04 from the local ASDA I started up a new season on CM4 and got Italy top of the Euro 2004 qualifying group only for a notice to pop up saying that CM4 was a corrupt file and it crashed, nowit won't load :(

Tony Montana 03-12-2004 07:46 AM

I have got my Italy save back and I am now in the quarter finals againsr Portugal

None of them are in the game,with my only league being Spanish(as i'm Barcelona) and then being appointed England manager the players i can choose from aren't great in numbers.:(

e.g Franny Jeffers and Michael Chopra ended up in my last squad.:'(

Wengerland 03-13-2004 03:20 AM

Nah i think the highest rated keeper after the forementioned 3 was Lenny Pidgely(sp?).

I checked out the Leicester team and they had no real players if you know what i mean.*awaits joke about recent events relating to a lack of team*

Tony Montana 03-13-2004 09:29 AM

I got knocked out of Euro 2004 by golden goal in the semi-finals by Spain. I think I will resign and go a club team.

Wengerland 03-15-2004 11:42 AM

Just being an international manager must get boring.

Anyway i won La Liga for the 2nd successive season with Barca,doing ok in World Cup 2006 qualifying though i lost to Ireland away and they got a last minute equaliser in the home game so i'm currently 2nd behind them.

Also signed Beckham for £8 million as Real didn't need him according to them.

The Mask 03-15-2004 02:30 PM

you can be international manager and be a club as well at the same time, i'm doing that with morecambe.

Tony Montana 03-16-2004 10:21 AM

I retired as Italy manager and took the job as manager of Linfield. My best player is a Nigerian who I got for free called Tijani Babangida :|

Mr. Monday Morning 03-16-2004 10:42 AM

Yeah Babangida's one of the game's better players for lower league teams (though some people reckon he does just as well at the higher levels). If you found him by accident well done, he's a good 'un.

Tony Montana 03-16-2004 11:07 AM

I did find him by accident :), also does anyone know how to make the game go as a window so you can minimize it, cause I get really bored of not being able to do other things while playing champ manager :(

Mr. Monday Morning 03-16-2004 12:35 PM

I don't know that you can run it in a window, but quite often I'll run a game while doing other things, and just use the window button (next to Alt) to access the toolbar and switch to other things

The Mask 03-17-2004 01:33 PM

sometimes when i do that, when i reopen champo it missed a huge chunk of the screen off. Prolly cause my desktop is 800x600 though.

I could never sign babawhathisface for morecambe. Your best bets for conference teams are valeriy kreventsov and that orri freyr oskarsson guy.

And Jamie Mullen from Man Utd after the first season if they release him. I got him when he was like 17 and he's the best winger i've seen in the game, even in the champions league.

Cactus Sid 03-17-2004 06:31 PM

Oh yeah..... Champ Man

All I do is play it online with my mate at the moment, can't be arsed to start an epic career

Dazz 03-17-2004 08:23 PM

You can change it to a window. Well, I have the red one, and you could on there. I reckon you can on all of them. When you choose things like the currency, auto saves and stuff like that, there should be the option to have it windowed. :y:

Cactus Sid 03-18-2004 05:35 AM

^ You are correct sir

The Mask 03-19-2004 07:57 AM

I should do that. I could save fuc</>king hours of boredom that way.

Also, Morecambe are in the CL semi's after destroying juve 8-2 on aggregate, won the league cup, again Man Utd in the FA Cup semi's, and 16 points ahead in the league.

CMON.

All my players are getting knackered though, the pussies :rant:

The Mask 03-19-2004 08:33 AM

also, i gave the board an ultimatum on expanding the stadium and they caved in, pussies :cool:

Tony Montana 03-19-2004 10:40 PM

I would get bored of winning every game of the season. Why don't you go Afghanistan and try to get them into the World Cup ?

Wengerland 03-20-2004 02:53 AM

I only just got England to the World Cup on penalties in the playoff.

They seem to go crap after a while.

Tony Montana 03-20-2004 06:07 AM

I only just realized, Cactus Sid is gonna get "HAMMERED!!!!!" on derby day ;)

Tony Montana 03-20-2004 06:10 AM

What I hate about international teams, apart from having to wait for 2 hours per game is that when I submit my squad 2 days later 5 of the players I picked have been removed. I think this is the reason I didn't win the European Championships with Italy cause Totti, Vieri, & Inzaghi where all injured and the tactics I was playing kept making players get one match bans.

Word,loads of players seem to pull out,even if the injury keeps them out for about a day.

That said,i got to the World Cup final with England,lost 2-1 to Italy there but wasn't expecting to get that far. :D

Tony Montana 03-25-2004 02:58 PM

Ok, someone tell me the best tactics to use with a team like Everton, I have finally bought CM03/04 so I don't know any good ones and the tactics I used on CM4 don't seem to work.

Cactus Sid 03-25-2004 03:00 PM

One tactic that never fails for me

4-4-2, right central midfielder running back into the dmc role (say Gravesen) and the left central midfielder running forward into the amc role (McFadden would be perfect) and set him to make forward runs

Practically unbeatable

The Mask 03-25-2004 03:03 PM

I use 4-1-3-2 usually, the 1 being a defensive midfielder. also wingers, and have your mc running straight up to the area, he scores impossible amounts of goals. :love:

Cactus Sid 03-25-2004 03:05 PM

*cough* Diablo *cough*

Tony Montana 03-25-2004 03:09 PM

What about team instructions and player instructions ? Also how do you make the game as a minimizable window because I don't have much patience so I get bored easily while waiting for it to load, and when I try to do it through preferences it says the is an error, is there any other way of doing it ?

www.sigames.com

if that's not working

www.thedugout.net

You'll need 4.1.4 and 4.1.5

Tony Montana 03-26-2004 07:57 PM

ok

Tony Montana 03-27-2004 05:38 AM

Can someone get me a direct link to the patches because there is too many on the dugout and I don't know which ones I need. Also I will need some help in setting them into the game.

Wengerland 03-27-2004 05:55 AM

Have you got MSN or something?

This is stupid, I go on sigames.com and go on the downloads but I can't find where to click to start downloading the patches. Someone help me, I think this is easier said than done.

Mr. Monday Morning 03-27-2004 04:47 PM

The f</>uck is wrong with you?

:roll:

http://www.sigames.com/downloads.php?type=game&id=13

Download and install 4.1.4

Download and install 4.1.5

You don't have to do anything 'complicated' just double-click on the files once they're downloaded and they'll install themselves.

Wengerland 03-27-2004 07:08 PM

I got broadband on the PC,i'll wait for a bit until getting the patches due to my current game being brilliant.

Tony Montana 03-28-2004 06:56 AM

I have FINALLY got the patches.

Wengerland 03-28-2004 11:09 AM

My game is going a bit poor so i'll be getting the patches fairly soon.If the games not gonna start until the summer then shouldn't matter too much.

Tony Montana 03-28-2004 12:48 PM

Yep, just got a few tactics off the dugout :cool:

Cactus Sid 03-28-2004 01:38 PM

For the record, If I catch anyone using downloaded tactics I will be majorly pissed off

Also won Euro 2008 avec England.:cool:!

Lmfao, why is that ?

Mr. Monday Morning 03-29-2004 08:50 AM

There are certain tactics that can make a team more or less unbeatable. Would be kind of pointless for someone to use them to get an advantage cause the rest of the teams might as well not bother.

Tony Montana 03-29-2004 02:48 PM

I don't even know any tactics so I will probably be bottom of the league anyway so I don't care.I have been using a mixture Diablo and Uber2 which have kept me unbeaten at home after 24 games but I just got beat 5-0 away to Arsenal.

Cactus Sid 03-29-2004 02:54 PM

I've developed a tactic myself, but in all honesty, if someone uses Diablo (and its bloody obvious when they are) then it just defeats the purpose of the game

Tony Montana 03-29-2004 03:07 PM

Diablo doesn't really work that good for me.

Tony Montana 03-29-2004 03:09 PM

So does that mean I have like 2-3 months to figure out my own tactics ?

Cactus Sid 03-29-2004 03:58 PM

You don't essentially need to figure out tactics, I got to the Champions League with Torquay on just 4-4-2, but as I've found with this tactic I've developed with Arsenal, it can be helpful

Tony Montana 03-29-2004 09:10 PM

Ok I have a question, can I download all skins etc from The Dugout or will that effect the online game ? I was gonna download SuperPack v3 CM4 03/04, and Commentary File for CM4 Season 03/04 V2.01 but I would rather make sure it is ok before I do it...

Also I figured out how to make the screen minimizable which is pretty conveniant :)

Tony Montana 03-30-2004 12:23 AM

I was wondering, do you get anything for finishing 7th in the Premiership ? I am 6th in the league with 2 games to go and Newcastle are 7th 1 point behind me with a 15 game unbeaten run and lately my results haven't been too good.

Tony Montana 03-30-2004 02:57 AM

Doesn't matter now, I beat Portsmouth at home on the last day of the season whilst Newcastle could only manage a draw away to Arsenal. I have bought in about 10 new players and my squad is beginning to look pretty good. I am in the Uefa Cup in my second season. I am pretty proud of myself considering this is my first EVER season on Championship Manager 03/04.

I believe you have to have the same data and same version, skins are fine, but commentary I'm not sure

Also, get v.2.0.4 and 5

I posted this over at thedugout but no one seems to answer questions over there so I will copy and paste what I wrote and maybe someone here can help me:

Wayne Rooney
Tomasz Radzinski
Nick Chadwick
Daniel Nardiello

I have had a £4 million offer accepted for Robinho and I am just waiting for the work permit, and I am also waiting for a reply on my offer of £3.5 million for Allesandro Simonetta. In a couple of my friendlies I have been noticing that my attack seems really lightweight and I was wondering, do you people think Simonetta and Robinho will be all I need to revamp my frontline or does anybody have any different idea's of who I should buy to make my attack better ? I am using the normal database, and all I have loaded is the Scottish premiership,1st,2nd,and 3rd divisions. Also English Premiership, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Conference divisions.


Cactus Sid 03-30-2004 03:27 PM

Switch McFadden up front if you need to, if you get Robinho it should be enough depth, also look for Carlos Tevez from Boca, he is amazing.

Tony Montana 03-30-2004 04:39 PM

Ok,I signed Robinho and I will have to spend the rest of my transfer budget to start negotiations with Tevez (New club record, £12 million) but now I will have to wait for the work permit. Meanwhile I have signed James Milner and David Bentley both on free transfers. After getting my wage budget back down it looks like it is going to go straight back up with Tevez wanting £40,000 per week. I have got the season off to a pretty good start beating Leeds at home 3-2 and Sunderland away 2-0. When is the draw for the Uefa Cup held, I am deffinatly in it with finishing 6th aren't I ?

Cactus Sid 03-30-2004 04:49 PM

Go to the Uefa Cup in the Menubar and go to seeds and check, I would guess you are

Wayne Roo-ney
Wayne Roo-ney

Sometimes your attack can be kickstarted by your midfield too you know, if they're not getting service they won't be as effective.

Jacko 03-30-2004 07:00 PM

Coincidently Rooney did eat all the pies ;)

I have a pretty decent midfield, here is the team I use now:

GK: Richard Wright
RB: Steve Watson
LB: Gary Naysmith
CB: Robert Huth
CB: Ahmed Reda Madouni
RM: James McFadden
LM: Mark Babic
CDM: Sean Davis
CM: Thomas Gravesen
ATT: Carlos Tevez
ATT: Wayne Rooney

I am 4th in the league after 6 games, winning 4, drawing 1, and losing 1. Also I just beat Loko Plovdiv 2-1 at home in the UEFA Cup 1st round 1st leg.

Cactus Sid 03-31-2004 04:55 AM

If your playing Diablo (as seeing from your formation you are) Gravesen is terrible for that position.

Look for a player called Boy-Boy and play him there, he's pretty nifty.

No I didn't use diablo, I downloaded it but I didn't have any midfielders to run right up the pitch apart from McFadden and I wanted him for the wings. I will have a look for the player you mentioned. I found out a pretty decent tactic, i will post a screenshot later.
