Why not have an LLM option (or options) in FM? Certain functions could be locked, for example:

Scouting would be more limited depending on reputation and finances.
You'd have to start with a club that would employ you, based on your poor reputation.
You'd be unable to put in a bid for an unscouted player (i.e: the board aren't satisfied that you've scouted this player sufficiently, and will not risk precious funds on him)

This, combined with realistic game difficulty, would provide a totally authentic experience for those who wanted it. Those who just wanted to take over Chelsea and win the ECL could nonetheless choose to activate one or more of the LLM options, as they saw fit.

I suppose it would be a little like the FIFA games having 'arcade' or 'simulation' settings. Only much, much better.

Why? You can do those things yourself, without needing the computer to do them for you.

DebbyDebs

You can't change the difficulty level. I think it would boost game satisfaction.

if you play were the stats are hidden until you scout anyway thats a better idea as my board will only give me so much to buy them until they been scouted

LLM is an ethic, not an option

DebbyDebs

Having options would not fly in the face of the LLM ethic, it would merely recognise and formalise it.

Difficulty levels would not reduce realism if the alternative is to have an unrealistically easy game.

i understand were ceefax is coming from it means that if somone new wants to play llm and theve read the rules etc but are still not sure it would be good if this was in the game so they know there doing it right as there is a lot of rules for some people to take in

DebbyDebs

How exactly would you define that anyway? No club in the game would employ any of us in real life unless there are people here who happen to have a real footballing background!
