Dilemma

The SI bods say that in order to gain the "full benefits" of EP3 you have to start a new game, although the old game is compatible.

I'd start afresh, and a word on the loanees. I found that guys who'd leapt at the chance of joining Leigh RMI on my last experiment either didn't appear as loanees of laughed at our offer of a loan spell in EP3.

Good luck, Doc

Well here's EP3 installed but the question is, do I start a new game or not?

I was half way through my third season with Halifax and we're in the play off places in the 3rd Division. I have done this with the help of a couple of great loan signings, one of whom is back for his second full season with us and banging in more than a goal a game. However, owing to the costs of ground maintenance (I think the taps in the bogs must be solid gold

) I'm 2.5m quid in debt despite paying out no more than 6 grand in transfer fees over the past 2 years!

So, I'm tempted to restart a new game so that the finances are a bit better.

If I do, is it ethical to resign these loan players? I found them using scouts searching for loan players, but obviously I know that they're good players for me...

What would you do?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey I am in precisely the same boat with the same team. However I am spared the ethical dilemma because none of my EP2 game star signings will play for me even if its the only offer they have. One is not even on a free at the beginning of the game anymore.

On the plus side decent loan players will still come to you and EP3 has increased the number of loan players you can have to 4 at once, so as long as you choose carefully you can actually end up with a side of about the same quality.

I think it's ok to re-loan the same players the second time around as long as you found them legitimately the first time. You took a punt on them last time without knowing they'd be good. And with the data update the risk they've been scaled down still exists.

That ground maintenance at The Shay is a killer. It makes you feel a bit stupid firing guys to trim your wage bill when management is installing platinum urinals.

How many posts do you read where managers say that you can sign a young, hugely talented Australian international on loan, and name the club that you can sign him from? And that's OK because even though anyone with half a brain knows who it is he's not actually been "named".

Here, roughly none - that would be tipping you see

And the player is still named in your post! Mods must be asleep.

A tenner says most people here disagree. I'm sure Iajafer would love to argue this one with you.

Argue? Nah. There's no arguement there. Signing players from prior knowledge is not LLM, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Never has been, never will be.

Ah, but you missed the golden rule in the header, which means never having to explain any of the other rules;

The part that says not tolerated means exactly that.
