Not sure if this has been asked before but SI is useless on AOL so its hard to search effectivly. Anyhow tonight i was playing my Aldershot save when my computer crashed, it has been 3 weeks since the last save and hence i had to replay all my games. In the process i won a cup game and a league game more then i had when originally playing the games. Still i felt "dirty" when i saw my name in the next round of the cup. So what would you do, play the games again, or deliberatly throw them?

Take your chances, obviously you didn't intend to do it (or did you?) so you haven't cheated.

I still can't face my game after making the best start to a season ever my game crashed right back to the first match. I started again and was 1 down with an injured player after 10 mins.

If it crashes like that I just play them again. Usually I have the opposite and am left swearing at the computer as I lose games that I had previously won!

3 weeks since your last save sounds a ludicrously long time unless you mean you hadn't played in 3 weeks before today...or do you leave CM running non-stop?!

3 Game weeks , no my computer crashed out of nowhere, its on auto save every month which makes it even more frustrating

I know what you mean about feeling "dirty". On the occasion that happened to me, I only lost a couple of games. I figured as long as I tried to do more or less the same as I had before, it's not worth giving up an established save for.
The temptation to take out my star striker who got injured first time around (was not 100% fit, but the best option I had) was the tough thing to overcome for me. I left him in. He broke his leg instead.
C'est la guerre!

I asked the same question a while ago and the general consensus was to pretend nothing happened and just try your best. It would be kind of silly otherwise.

Not your fault, Daniel. It's not as if you Ctrl-Alt-Del'd to gain an advantage so just accept what happened as a gift from the LLaMa Gods.

Backups are for poofs, btw. Just thought I'd mention that.

If backups are for poofs, and we're...

hmmm.

I was going to brag about almost never having to replay matches due to saving before every game . It's kind of a tick, it's fully automatic.

So what would that make me then?

I find saving times for 03/04 too long, particularly as im often in other programmes hence the auto save only every month. I have only ever backed up one game which was my very long running farnboro game on Cm01/02, otherwise as i dont bother.
