If the O.P. had fun doing what he did, good for him.

This game is for fun.

anyone who managed a lower division club would know how it feels to lose playoff games. Trust me i used to cheat alot but i just grew tire of it because after everytime i cheated i found the game not enjoyable anymore and ended up restarting my career. I just lost 2 heart breaking games last season against southport in the Blue Chair Premier playoff; What made it hurts so bad is that i was only 3 points away from gaining the automatic promotion. With better financial backing this year, i'm currently on a 8 games winning run to start off my brand new season.

Thank you. I paid for it and I can use it how I wish.

"living on the edge" is that what we call it. I imagine playing FM and not cheating is equivalent to living on the edge of:-
- a peaceful hamlet surrounded by folk from the shire
- a furry quilt
- a kerb

When I had got bored of 07, having played loads of seasons and with many so called big sides (Leeds, Spurs, West Ham and Newcastle) relegated in my game, I decided to use the save editor to edit some of these teams - just to see what would happen.

For example with Leeds, who were about to drop into non-league, I made most of their players dirty and aggresive (bit like their 70s team) - they got promoted season after season and were soon back in the Premiership. Surprisingly, they got very few red cards.

Eventually, I got bored of this and went back to original save and decided to add another manager to try and rescue Leeds the hard way. But then FM08 came out!
I don't really see setting up scenarios as cheating. The game itself is just one possible scenario.

Giving yourself a huge amount of cash or any editing of players ca/pa is a little too much I think but it can be interesting giving a cash/player boost to a team not doing so well in a random league and see how they manage it over the coming season.

You really do not see the likes of Abramovich in this game. The guy who comes along and injects hundreds of millions into all aspects of the club, so I occasionally(once every 5 seasons or so) create such a scenario.

The last time I did that, in FM07, I chose Notts County as they are the oldest league club and where about to be relegated from the Conference South. 14 years later they celebrated promotion to the Premiership.

I must say before I even start a game I have edited Chelsea and the board so they have even more money. I don't see this as cheating either because I am not managing them.

And if the likes of Man Utd got relegated and went bankrupt I would be very tempted to use the editor to adjust their finances.
