Football Manager 2008

Nope, the forums were taken down completely a couple of hours ago. No direct link posted anywhere yet.

Happened last year apparently, I know they're doing it for free but you should never give a release date (and time especially) unless you're 1,000,000% certain, takes the piss. Brings trouble on yourself.
 
I was about to say.. even with the release date and time, he should of made the time a few hours after he knew it would be finished, so he could just upload it and post the link a couple of hours later.

As opposed to what has now happened which was him going onto the forums at about 10 to 4, saying it was uploading and would be 40 minutes, then crashing.

Just really bad judgment on his part.

I like many have been holding off playing FM for the update, finished work at half 9 fully expecting to come home and get torn into it.
 
I wonder if the guy will admit that he fucked up by doing it the way he has. I hope he gets punched in the face when he leaves his house
 
He's done it before so I doubt it. Everybody in the thread at SI is saying "if you want an update now do it yourself" and defending him to the death... I can understand but at the same time he's bringing any arseyness on himself.
 
He's been logged into the SI forums for an hour, without saying anything, and now he's logged off.

...
 
He's been online again on the SI forums for another hour without saying anything. He's still on now.

He could at least tell us what the situation is, the eejit.

EDIT: He's online again, and not saying anything again.

EDIT 2: What a complete cunt.

Right,

First off the forum did crash today for those that didnt know, at one point there was 300+ users on at the same time, we were apparently getting 1,000 hits per min it was probably due to
1. People pressing refresh every 10 seconds for about an hour
2. Everyone logging on/visiting other threads while they wait/posting why isnt it out yet

As it stands i have no idea when then forum will be back up but im hoping it will be today (Saturday) although im not putting a time on anything as i dont want to let people down again. I had literally finished the upload and was ready to post the link on the forum, went to refresh it so i could post it and it crashed, hence me frantically trying to get it up, eat my tea & get dressed for work at the same time although to no avail, hence why i posted a thread here to inform you all (i even tried to get into the admin panel to mass email everyone but couldnt) I did email my assistant Richie to post the link as soon as the forum came back if i was still at work but obv it hasnt & also he was out till about the same time i got back so that didnt work either, so as you can see i have been trying to get the update out asap.

So as it stands the forum is down till i dont know when, the update is ready but i wont be posting it here but it will be on the forum some time tomorrow (again im not sure when, im hoping the forum is back up). I am as frustrated as you are, i just want to get the forum back up & running and get the update out as im finished updating for the year then.

Sorry about the silence tonight, i was hoping the forum would be back up by the time i got home & everythin would sort itself out, i havnt been able to log in for the last 8 hrs, although ive had a good laugh reading this thread although quite scared how i seem to be getting stalked off a few people :S

Regards
Michael

So the upload is done, but he's not giving us the link until his forum is back up.

What a complete, total cunt. I've sat here since 10pm waiting and he's not giving us the link?

He can shove it up his fucking arse.

The guy is obviously clueless!

Though in saying that he must know that everyone is after his stupid fucking update and he just don't give 2 shits
 
I know it's pathetic isn't it. He must surely realise there's only about 25 people who actually post on there tops and everyone else just comes on to download it then goes again.
 
Exactly. He's really fucking wound me up. If I break someones leg at football today I can't be held responsible. It's this cunts fault.

:MAD:

I think we need to send pepper and jaygrim round to him.
 
Surely the exact same thing is going to happen to his precious fucking website when it's back up and he does post the download links? Everyone will hit it at the same time again and it will crash again?
 
You guys should be grateful he is doing it anyway. If I saw posts like you lot put I wouldnt let you download it you cheeky fuckers!

Because he's pissed us all off with his incorrect dates and lack of communication, and then just general being a cunt-ness and not posting the download links. All he cares about is getting fucking traffic on his gay website.

Oh I will, don't worry.
 
Chris, regarding making a colour.lnc file, do you just select the background and foreground colours in RGB for each team basically, but not the 'Trim' colour as it is in the editor?
 
That's exactly it, and it generates a basic kit based on those two colours. Obviously that's not important if you're using downloaded kits anyway.
 
Right, thanks. :))

I am using downloaded kits (FMG09 style :-...:LOVE: ) but the trim colour is the outer ring on the players/circles on the pitch so I quite like having that the right colour (I'm a bit of a perfectionist with this). I'm just sick of getting a new update every few days and having to change all the kits for the big leagues so they actually match the bang up to date kits I've got because it looks crap otherwise.
 
Yeah thought so, I guess when Weegie comes out i'll just make sure that the colours are perfect on there and I wont have to mess around again until FM09.
