The point of LLM for me is it's a greater simulation of football management. It's a more realistic experience.

However one aspect which isn't realistic is that the other computer controlled teams end up loaning players that my ass man claims are 'unrealistc targets' or wouldn't come and play for my same division team.

This is not realistic and is a shame as that is part of what being an LLaMa is about.

The game isn't about making it as hard as possible for yourself, as some seem to suggest on here, it's about realism. And this particular aspect is unrealistic.

I still very much enjoy the game and can see there is no real way around this problem. The game, i'm sad to say, just contains a slight flaw in this area and we just have to deal with it.

LLM works because there are certain rules and structures which we can follow such as not using the player search screen to harvest all the great free players and only scouting your borders etc. Unfortunately there is no similar rule which allows the loan market to remain a level playing field.

I now feel better having got that off my chest and get back to playing my game.

Thanks for listening.

Oh...now how long's that been going on? For many, many incarnations of the game...we just learn to live with it, never be happy with it, just live with it

Yep, I know it's been around for years, I just wanted to make the point and get it off my chest.

A problem shared is a problem halved.

What happens if I, as a conf north manager, make loan offers for Championship or Lg1 reserve/under 18 team players, that i've scouted of course, after seeing them show good form in reserve games.

Are they likely to come?

And is this LLM?

A trouble shared is a trouble doubled

Hmmm, dunno if they're likely to come, but they're fair game if you've played against them and scouted them :thup:

Thanks iajafer.

I went to my first non league game yesterday, Hallam FC vs table topping Maltby Main in the Northern Counties East League. Hallam were victorious 4-2.

Being such a dedicated LLaMa, do you follow a team or attend matches?

I went to see Newport County vs Braintree yesterday - the game was almost as dire as the weather. Braintree won 1-0

KingsbayYHPE

I do indeed.

My local team, Haddington Athletic, play in the East Region Juniors and I started watching them this season.

They're doing well, led the table untill two weeks ago but a Cup (sucks @ss) run has left them 3 points off the pace but with 2 games in hand.

We beat St Andrews, a Premier League Club, 4-3 away in the Cup yesterday :cool:

That doesn't count as a good result .

Good to hear you're a follower of real life non league football as well as the virtual kind.

You say Haddington Athletic play in the East Region Juniors . Is that a league made up of players who have to be under a certain age?

KingsbayYHPE

Nope. Seniors play in the SFL, Juniors are semi pros who don't.
