if you want to, just add a second nationality, but it kind of takes the point out of having feeder clubs

retired_red26 · 12-16-2007, 09:52 PM

if you can do it on 07, then i would think you could do it on 08. By doing this though your taking a bit abit of the challenge away dont you think?

Download FMM and then any players you target give them a second nationality so they dont need a work permit.

you could just go into the editor and make the nation part of the EEC. ie. brazil etc,etc

no, to be honest i don't. If i find a good player, that i can afford and for a work permit problem can't get him, i don't think "ooh yay, this is challenging!"[/qu
the game is like irl, you cant always get the players you want because of that problem, and have to send them to feeder clubs. And i thought the game was suppsed to be a challenge to people?

Its not your problem, its mine. I find the game challenging as it is, so don't go all self-righteous and "high and mighty" on me. If i am "cheating" then i really don't give two S**ts. Because i'm not gifting myself with 400M to spend and a squad full of super players, every manager had different needs, this is one of mine

So, it's still cheating.

for those of you (like myself) that use the rusty old thing of FM07 there is a way to make sure no foreigners need work permits (by use of the editor)

In my opinion WP's are nothing but needless hassle designed to stop you from getting some of the best cheap players on the game, and anything that saves someone being shipped off to belgium for 3 years has to be good.

Can you do the same in FM 08?

You can edit the countries EEC (European Economic Community) status. If you put Brazil/Argentina/Russia/Any other non EU country you want as being members of the EEC (You tick the "is member of EEC" in their info page iirc) then work permits are not needed.

^^ Continued

But I dont do it. Its more challenging to keep it how it is. It means the likes of Spain/France get all those Brazilian Wonderkids that are floating about and I have to have more of an eye for European talent.

If the work permits were not there IRL then just imagine that Ronaldinho would have joined Arsenal and not PSG as Wenger had a offer and contract all sorted but the damn WP meant that he could not join

Call it a "cheat" but its still usefull...

Football Manager 2008 has a database compromising of tens of thousands of players.
