I just choose to use fog of war.

What really bothers me is when one of my scouts recommends a player on a search and leaves attributes out. Is this a bug?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Not necessarily. It could be that the scout has not seen enough to comment on those attributes, but has seen enough to say how good the player is.

I love it...

Fans who complain about inexperienced managers taking over their club, compulsary FoW... it's like Frank Llama himself designed the game

I agree that FOW should be mandatory and I think that the first time a scout sends a recommendation back with some missing stats is good too. IRL he would not have determined all about the player from a brief look over one game, when I play, if the players stats (the ones that I can see) look reasonable then I send the scout again to look at the player and the second time I get to see at all his stats. That sound reasonable to me. I did notice however from reading all the whiners in GQCM4 recently that almost all of them were playing with "top sides". What can we expect from them anyway.

What a hysterical thread!

"Right that's it, i'm not buying your game anymore so there!"

"I've cancelled 5 copies for my buddies"
"Did i tell anyone that i've cancelled 5 copies?"
"Well, that's 5 copies that i won't be buying."
"5 copies SI!!!! Do you hear me? Do you?"

Ah dear, part of me hopes that SI did this just to p1ss people off.

And those poxy wibble/wobble screens too - i always hated those!

*waits for backlash from wibble/wobble enthusiasts*

I only toyed with the wibble/wobble screen once, and I was 5-1 down to Dumbarton at half-time.

I never knew about them, my copy must have been duff, or was this only fixed with one of the updates

I loved the wibble/wobble screen, I designed a few systems for different LLM teams specifically for the players I had and used the screens a lot. I used to love going from wobble to wibble and seeing the players fan out up the pitch. The other advantage was you could set players to attack in wibble and defend in wobble though they got knackered quicker. I am happy to use the new system though. Although some of my players just stand around for 5 minutes at a time. It is probably truer to life for most LLM teams.

On reflection, whilst I think it is a good thing, it wouldn't really have hurt SI to leave it optional. I think I might wait a couple of weeks and then post on GQCM4 to find out if people's opinions have changed.

Four pages of moaning...jesus. If they want to see all the stats of a player and the like, then they should bugger off and buy TCM2003 where you see everything.

Oh...what the hell is wibble/wobble?.
