There are data editors (for example me who is editor for 12 teams), there are also data reviewers, people who're responsible for checking whole leagues, no idea how many of those there are but there's a fair few, there's also the "Database Producers" who're actual people working for EA in the Germany or Canada offices who oversee the whole things, there's a few of them as well.
in my first season with grosseto in serie b, 4 points clear at the top with just a few games to go.
im beefing up my squad right now for the top flight next season, ive only got a few players left playing in my first eleven that made the cut from the original team.
ive got zaki and ramon as my strikerforce(looking to add another as ramon's not quite cutting it), danilinho as my number 10(if only i could change his number) and djemba djemba in midfield pulling the strings.
what difficulty do you guys play on?

How do you guys find new players mainly? Wait for them to appear on the transfer list? Scouts? Name Search? Attribute search?
I find the attribute search a bit annoying for some reason, just seems a bit awkward. Also don't like how you can only put a certain amount of transfer bids in each week either.

Like a lot of things in 09 it could have been done better, I hate the fact I can't compare players...
I don't mind the bids thing that makes up for having too much easy money...

Well I screwed up my Season yesterday. Having won the Carling Cup, The Prem and in the final of the FA cup playing Spurs I had played the first leg of the semi of the CL and had drew 1-1 away at arsenal. The next day I start again, playing the last league match with a reserve team to warm me up for the 2nd leg semi final. I won 1-0 in the 85th min with a dire performance. But it didn't matter, I was crowned the previous match as League Champions. SO I go into the semi pretty confidant, having been the better team in the first leg and having beaten them away 0-3 in the Fa cup semi. However I had lost 2-0 at home againt them around the 30th match but that was whilst having Torres injured. So it was looking good.
I made a mistake though, I thought I had won the away leg 1-0 (due to them scoring late on in the game for the equaliser), and because of that I played the match to contain them and maybe score one myself. I was already in the match menu's before I remembered to check the firstleg score just incase, so I went off searching in the menu's for it. Sadly EA haven't put this anywhere to be found when in a match so your left to rely on your memory
.
So I play the match and Im containing them, pretty confortable without creating much myself. Then in the 77th min they put a cross in and score from the header. At this point Im getting slightly worried, as Im not sure what the previous leg's result was, with that in mind I go for a goal and create a few chances, but the tone had been set and I just can't get the players up for it and it ends up 1-0 after 90 min. Now Im expecting extra time at this point and to my surprise I see the arsenal players cheering with my own looking sad. Now Im looking sad, I never managed to get past the quarters on 08 and this was looking like the season I would finally bring ol' Big Ears back to Anfield for the 6th time.
I finish the season with a tame performance in the FA cup but its enough for a 2-1 win and a somewhat dissapointing Treble. Or being Liverpool and winning the Community Shield at the beginning of the season I should call it the Quadruple.
So now it's gonna take me another month or two to get that chance again (if I get that far in Europe).

Unlucky Tik.
depending on what i want to spend i put a limit down and then do a attribute search between 65 or 70 to 85. if i want to narrow it down more i add a position search.
i used to do a for sale search as well but now i can attract players and have the money i just add a few hundred thousand to my bid.
i like how they limit it, i wish you could change it a little bit like alter your bid after you make it without using another negotiation but other than that i think it adds to the experience.
one thing i miss from pes is how you could add players to a list as you were searching. i used to look at everyone, do a bunch of searches and then look at my list and narrow it down.

Yep, I can't understand why things like that can't be implemented, at least it saves the players you do offer for and gives you a hint as to why they don't sign.
It needs a real overhaul though for 10, they really were very lazy, even if they say they were concentrating on the on field stuff, that was just PR garbage...

Are we gonna start an "improvements thread" to pass on to them? I think we did one for the update but now we have all spent quiet a bit of time with it it could be quite a list. Maybe it's worth bumping last season's one to see what still needs to be adressed and whats new.

anyone having problems with this 'not enough players in squad to sell' BS I keep getting now and again?
is there a way to get around it or is it a bug? the squads are big enough, but it keeps saying the same thing
Nope there is nothing you can do about it the squad can't go below a certain number and they never seem to sign in players for the rest of the 15 seasons, you just can't sign the guy if it says not enough players in squad...
I tried to sign a Chelsea player in the first January window and had the same response I tried him for the next six seasons, no go...
Just started a MM with Arsenal. I replaced in the starting line-up Eboue with Diaby.
I tried to sign A.Young from Aston Villa to replace T.Rosicky on the Right Midfield. I have sold Song to Watford.
I've had 3 matches so far:
Arsenal 0-1 Wigan
Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
Arsenal 2-0 Man.City
I am currently 6th in the table.

Well after my "dissapointing" season I bumped the difficulty to Legendary and have had some cracking games.
However because Im more concentrated when playing Ive ended up winning every match, bar the community shield and a reserveteam outing against spurs. Ive played 20 matches now and have won 19 and lost 1 in the league! There been quite a few narrow wins so its still a lot of fun, but I will probably move at the end of the season if Ive won the ECC
Its my 3rd season but some players seem really strong, is that the normal development or just me playing better?

See number 4 above
Placebo. thanks, Ive added the Glitches to the Original post in the thread. apart from the one "Norwegian teams cannot qualify or compete in European competitions", as i think that is because Fifa doesnt have the first 2 Qualifying rounds for the ECC and EFA because there isnt enough European teams in the game to fill the spaces. so its probably more of an ommision than a Glitch.

Fifa08 didn't let Swedish teams qualify for Europe and now Fifa09 does, IMO it's a glitch

That must be another Glitch then also because Fifa doesnt have the first qualifying round. On Wikipedia it says this about European Qualification from the Swedish League.

You can't apply the rules of UEFA qualifying to your logic though as there are a lot of European leagues that aren't in Fifa09, and EFA is not UEFA, yes it's an unlicensed simulation of the UEFA Cup but it's not the UEFA Cup, thus there's no "UEFA qualification" reason to exclude Swedish or Norwegian leagues from EFA, every European league should qualify for EFA by winning their respective cup or getting into a certain league position. Thus no Norwegian team in EFA = glitch.
I rest my case M'lud

Occasionally in Fifa, at the start of the Season you do play a 2 leg ECC qualifying tie to get into the ECC Group stages so they do have some form of qualification.
As there are no Norwegian teams in the EFA/ECC in Fifa 09, how do EA fill all the places in the tournament? as both the EFA and the ECC are 32 team tournaments if im correct.

I've just started a new MM as Notts County. My starting budget is £469,000. I am used to working with lower league teams. My sponsor is 'Hedge's Games' for my first season.
Starting lineup is as follows:
GK: K.PILKINGTON
RB: J.BEARDSLEY
RCB: M.EDWARDS
LCB: M.JOHNSON
LB: P.MAYO
RM: M.HAMSHAW
RCM: R.BUTCHER
LCM: A.NOWLAND
LM: M.WESTON
RS: J.FORRESTER
LS: D.FACEY
SUBS:
S.WEIR DALEY
A.TANN
S.CANHAM
B.FAIRCLOUGH
S.FROST.
Just put all reserves up for sale and put a bid in for Riccardo Meggiorini, Cittadella. Toro, Flamengo. These players will hopefully give my midfield some speed.
On to the first game of the season, away against Macc'field. At half time, both teams have had many chances, I've hit the post twice, however, i've had troubles getting past the Macc'field defence. In the 39th minute, M.Gritton put them in front after some poor defending. I then worked hard to equalize, just to get caught on the counter-attack by Gritton again to put away his second. So far, i've had 4 shots and the've had 5, both with 3 on target. 90 minutes had past, and I had no luck. More shots on target, all to be saved, a free kick hit the post and a header just going over. I got caught again on the counter-attack of a corner and S.Yeo put it past the keeper to put it Macc'field 3 - 0 Notts County. Not a good start to the season.
To lighten me up however, my offers were both accepted and many offers for my reserves. I replaced Hamshaw on the right with Toro and put Meggiorini on the left.
Hopefully, my second game would have more luck. At home against Ches'field. Half time came and neither team created many chances, however, on the 41st minute Toro on the right used his speed to run down the wing and pass it into the middle for an easy goal for Facey, not much to say for this half, both keepers on form, 1 - 0 to the Notts! Soon after the first half, a mistake from my defence and Lester was through to equalize. At the 59th minute, a bad tackle from Austin got him a yellow card. Creating a massive oppurtunity for Meggiorini, who hit the crossbar with the freekick. A beautiful through ball from Toro put Forrester right in front of goal who managed to put it 2-1, Austin then gave away a penalty in the 68th minute and a red card. Meggiorini stepped up and smashed it home, 3-1, this one was a clear win, but the Notts wern't finished yet, A quick break through and Forrester tapped away the 4th, 4-1 and a nice 3 points on the board.
We are currently 9th on the table. I'll keep you posted on my season progress, if interested, I play on World Class difficulty.
