Gers are Torrific!!

Rangers beat Celtic in a 3-0 drubbing at Celtic Park. Celtic had a few chances but the travelling fans were dazzled by a stunning show by Fernando Torres. Torres scored a classy goal within the opening minute to stun the Parkhead fans and they were further stunned by a goal from Torres in the 10th min. Rangers hadn't won at Celtic Park for 5 years but Dado Prso made sure of the victory with a close range header making it 3-0. Rangers took their foot off the gas after that goal bringing on Scott Brown who had been injured for 2 months after his spell at Sheff Wed on loan and he did well producing some mazy runs and some good crosses so it is a clean sweep for Rangers this season it may sound impressive but it is only two matches where as in the season previous Celtic complete a clean sweep winning 5 matches.

Celtic 0-3 Rangers - Celtic Park Att - 60813

Goals - Torres (2), Prso
Injuries - Balde - Celtic
MoM - Ferguson (9) - Rangers

I have no qualms with the way you play the game but if you are running the latest patch then you have been very fortunate with the players you have to be so high up in the EPL.

The lad Fanfan is hopeless so i struggle to see why or how you'd get 6.3mil for him.

The lad Nieto is also has poor stats and doesn't actually have a potential within the game as it's set at 0 and his ability is 75 or something like that.

Also if the game was updated to the point where you have all the signings that Rangers have made this pre-season then you wouldn't be able to sign Veron because he signed his loan deal before Rangers signed Nieto and FanFan.

That is why i think you've tinkered with the stats of the Rangers team. Giving the club 20mil is probably about right and i'm assuming you done the same for Celtic and any other teams you moved into the EPL.

It's not a big deal in terms of your story which is well layed out and written but it doesn't represent the true challenge of taking a SPL club to England imo.

:cool:

Just let him play the game and tell his story.. IMO it's crap because I expected more "crap" results but it's either wins or draws in his case, the majority of time anyway..

I was speaking to my bro today who also uses fm and you are correct, he being a rangers fan also, has altered the potential of fanfan and nieto, nieto starts of as a center back in my game. So because of this i am scrapping this story. I am begining one as a smaller team most likely Morton. Just to say though, Juan Veron is still available for immediate transfer even though he is on loan as is Hernan Crespo.

I hope you aren't scrapping it because you think i'm having a go. I like the layout and the idea of the scottish teams being in the EPL. I just felt that the stats had been modified too much imo.

I modify them in my games if i know they are wrong. Like you say with Nieto if he is a defender then i'd change his stats to a strikers and the same with others.

A bit of advice with updates, you are generally better off waiting until the transfer window closes because you'll have so many changes between now and the then. It is pishy playing with the old updates when so much has changed but it generally makes the game better in the long run imo.

Good Luck with Morton. :cool:

Nah its not cause your having ago but with ma bro having eddited the stats i felt the money i gained or the results i gained through any goals scored by these better players meant i technically shouldnt have won etc etc so wasnt as good after i found that out, ill start one again after Morton.
