However, I would definately sign some players without having them scouted. Suppose you get a news about an England international that wants to leave his club. If the player has 10+ games for the national squad, I'd think it's fair game to sign him without asking your scout.

It's your game .... But I think most Llamas would say that they should be scouted.

No, this is just the demo and a quickstart. If it occurs in the real game I will.

Job centre worked fine for me. As Aaelsund in the Norwegian First Division, all potential scouts & coaches were Scandinavian, with the vast majority being Norwegian. Fancy that. I'm also like how I got variable results... lotsa coaches, but slim pickings for scouts.

So maybe there literally are no scouts interested in Forest Green at the moment. And really, who said that only unemployed coaches would answer your advertisement? Job Centre != Cheap Staff On Demand.

I would take the first bloke who walks in off the street, having had a 2-month carreer in street-sweeping as a reference. The job centre offers no one. That is not realistic.

I hope that this is fixed in the real game or I'd have to resort to using the search again

I had the same problem with the job center none of the unemployed seemed to be applying.

Sorry I tell a lie there were a few Physio's with Physio ratings of 1 that were unemployed and applied. I can't think why but I chose not to avail myself of their services

DJ,
Don't wait to report a bug. It's a Gold Demo meaning that it's the exact same code that's going on to your FM 2007 disc. And quickstarts are pretty common setups for non-LLM managers. By reporting it now, the release-day patch will at least fix it.

I had some 20 unemployed scouts apply at Woking in one go... Sadly, no unemployed coaches, no matter how long I leave the advert running

I fail to see how that states that they will never have a recommendation, just because you played one season with one of the beta builds. You can't confirm anything from playing beta versions. I don't even know why I bother paying attention to your posts.

Guinness,
Betas are usually 95-99% representitive of the final release. Chances are *very good* that what was seen in a beta, especially a late beta, will be seen in the final version.

I think your LLM experience might be improved if you didn't post in the GPG forum, the T&T forum and the Spawn of Satan

forum.

Mate, I'm not a hardcore LLM like you so don't have a go at me.

FOW don't seem to be working, whenever I click a player (No matter if it's a first team regular, an U-18 kid or some reservedweller), I get instant info on every attribute. Not just players in my divison, happen bascially anywhere. Is it just in my game?

And with a little searching I found the answer:

Fog of War (attribute masking) is still an option in the game but is only something you can choose when starting a new game (of which you can't do in the Demo)
