Well just finished a MM season, winning the league and cup along the way.
Good news:
The final league standing was pretty much perfect, well besides me screwing it up by having Liverpool win the league

(followed by Che-Manu-Ars-Spurs-Villa-Eve-City-etc)
End of season overview is good aswell, you get to see the biggest home/away win/loss and also who you dominated (overall biggest win home+away) and who your nemesis was (for me Bolton with two 1-0 losses). Also the team of the season actually has some players from my winning team!
Bad news:
Won the prem on the last day by beating Chelsea at home 1-0 (they were 1st going into the match with a 2 point advantage). So I was expecting a good lap of honour with the trophy. And what happend........nothing really. A close up of Chelsea being "dissapointed", ie walking off the pitch and a couple of pool players in the backgroun cheering (similar to a 3-0 win).
Won the FaCup, beating Villa 2-0. So I thought maybe they would have a better celebration. Basicly they have added a sidecamera view to the standard "11 men standing together in the centre circle" but they reduced the players to 7! SO now you get to see an even crappier celebration from 2,3 angles!
So I went on to the next season to see how much money I would have as I have now won stuff and forfilled all my board objectives. I finished with 23mil in the bank, signed a new sponsor and for the next season I have a total of 23mil in the bank. So in other words it doesn't matter what you win, or how well you do (Ive moved up a rating) , you don't get any extra income after the initial balance?!
So in honour of Marcel Kuhn(t) I thought I would repost some classic quote's:
Wepeeler - "I'm big into transfers and building ultimate teams. Is that harder this year?"
Marcel Kuhn - "...You will start with a specific amount of money, which ensures that Chelsea and Manchester City are rich while Bolton or promoted side Burnley don’t have a lot of cash to spend. During the season you will make a bit of money via ticket sales and sponsors, but what matters the most is to fulfill your board objectives. At the end of the year the board will look at your performance and refresh your Club and Wage Budget accordingly. Obviously, they will only grant you more money to spend, if they are happy with your performance..."
Not for me, but I guess winning a league and cup and forfilling the objectives jsut isn't good enough
MK - "...Player form is a new concept we adopted from Live Season. The result of playing really well over a longer period of time will be that the players form increases and his attributes will be slightly improved for the time being."
Score a hattrick and your players form drops...
MK - "...As the Board Confidence will play a crucial role and change very dynamic, you will get an update on Board Confidence after every game."
No shit, I can go from you're the best to you suck in two games (winning both!).
MK - "For Manager Mode it means that we wanted to remove everything that takes you out of the immersion of living as a manager in a authentic football world. Let me give you some examples, i.e. C. Ronaldo transferring to Aalborg = not total football, Wigan beating Manchester United 5-0 = not total football, playing in Sunny / Dry weather in the EPL, every week, no matter what time of the year = not total football…. To achieve this we reworked the fundamentals this mode is based on, we work towards avoiding these unrealistic events from happening and replaced them with more football authentic events. In the end we’re aiming to create a game mode that contributes to the overall “Total Football Experience” FIFA 10 will deliver via all its features."
Playing 90% of games in rain / night = total football.
"Details regarding the presentation changes will be released at a later time. But I can tell you already that the different weather conditions in Manager Mode, including my favorite “Rainy night for mid-week cup games”, look amazing!"
And don't we bloody know it!
MK: In terms of crowd we’ve further improved the variable crowd attendance as well as the club specific crowd coloring.
Yeah now my stadium is half empty for every game no matter how high in the league I am
So thanks Marcel......thanks a f#$kin lot!
