Don't try this at home

With my mate that plays the Spanish game away for 3 weeks, I thought I'd
load up a new FM game to occupy my time while he's in Singapore. So I
thought why not try every league in every country that's available.

http://img228.echo.cx/img228/2690/ivefinallygonemad5rn.jpg

3 hours and 9 minutes later the game had initialised. Who to manage though?
I finally decided on QPR, as I had played them way back in the days of CM2.

http://img228.echo.cx/img228/1121/ivefinallygonemad29hp.jpg

After setting up all my training, sending out scouts etc. I was ready to get
on with it.

After about an hour I got a message from the Chairman.

http://img228.echo.cx/img228/2679/meddlingchairman9sx.jpg

Damn!! So I dutifully started looking for players around the £2 million
mark, the balance of the club, but way over the £300K transfer budget.
Imagine my surprise when I got a message from the Chairman about a player
I'd brought in for £26K.

http://img228.echo.cx/img228/4231/bigsigning6tc.jpg

So anyway, with the Chairman appeased I carried on with preseason, brought
in some more players, mostly on frees ;-)

Then after 5 hours of game play, and with only having moved forward 2 and a
half weeks. I decided it was a stupid game to try to play and deleted the
save :)

So you have been warned, *DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME*

For those interested my PC set up is:

AMD XP 2600+
1 Gb of 333Mhz RAM ( 2 x 512Mb strips )
Gigabyte GA-7VAXP-A motherboard ( dual BIOS chappy :) )
NEC DVD R/RW
120Gb Samsung HDD
200Gb Western Digital HDD
and I'd just done a clean install of XP Pro, so I can't even blame a bloated
OS :-s

So now I've started a new game, all South American leagues selected, and I'm
just starting out with Palmeiras ( I'll try not to ruin them Edu ;-) )

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you

heh, my upper limit is 40 divisions, thats just about acceptable on my
machine, but a bit slow and memory hungry.

i usually settle around the 25-30 mark.

processing ;-)

Normally around the 20 league mark for me. I wonder if your 64 bit
processor would be up to the full monty? ;-)

Ok, Edu, I`ve gotten rid of all the loaners at Palmeiras. I want to use
players I OWN, not somebody elses. Who do I buy in Cm4...in brazil...with
Palmeiras budget? Seems like I need a good cheap defender.
