The LLM ethos in CM makes other sports sims pathetically easy. It's too easy to win at NCAA, NBA and MLB games once you've played CM the LLM way.

Why don't you play the other games LLM stylee then? Or is that what your say you do do...?

For example, my other game is NHL - similar to your games, and I now only use the weaker teams as well as using the open trading system realisctically, putting all the rules on and definitely no player cheats...

Should I ask you what an open trading system is Juanseba, or not being a NHL fan would I get all confused?

Oh, and I've found one SOLIDATORY good use for the editor that comes with CM3... You can correct Canada's national stadium capacity from the incorrect 6000 that is in the game to the correct figure of 60,000. I noticed that in the last World Cup final in my current game. Otherwise, it definately should be confined to Satan's playden.

You're going to have to help me out there, Nobby.

and...

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned"

I once used the Spawn to upgrade Livingston's Stadium to an accurate 10016 after the new game and subsequent patches kept it at the previous 6100.

This followed numerous e-mails to the Scottish Researcher and Maestro Vaughan, who decided it was better to include "Stan the man's" transfer to Bratfud than it was to get Livi's Stadium right.

I spent a week wearing sackcloth and beating myself with birch branches, though.

I'm not sure of the proper American term - but basically you can trade anyone for anyone - ie, pull in all the best players and trade out your sh1tters at the same time.

Although there is a bar to show how much each player(s) is worth, you can still trade who you like...

Making the bars on each side the same is probably the best (most realistic) way of doing it!

Iajafer - OK, make that two good reasons then... Canada's national stadium and Livi's stadium. But in changing these two stadium capacities, we are promoting realism! After all, we aren't cheating.
EDITORS MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
(Thought I had better put in a 'disclaimer'!)

Juanseba - I don't see why anyone would want to trade their best players for somebody else's crap players. What a strange way America has of working transfers.

KUTGW!!

Actually, the NBA trading rules are a pain in the ass even in a game.

The total amount of salaries traded must not go over 10% for one team. In other words a team can only take on 10% more salary(in a trade) than it traded away. I'll fire up NBA2K3 and give you the exact number.

In the NFL- there is a team salary cap which teams must adhere to, so there is litte incentive to trade.

In MLB- trading is free as the breeze. For the rationale of trading, I'll use a football example.

Say that Goofy decides to leave Man U. on a Bosman. Man U is in the Prem. doldrums with no chance at winning the title this year. Everton, however, are in the thick of the Prem title chase. The only thing preventing Everton(in management's view) from winning the Title is an attacking Mid. Therefore, they offer Man U. Chip'n'Dale. Man U accepts the trade and gets two prospects for the future, While Everton gets the piece it needs to win the Prem.

Player naming is a no-no! Especially the body-part-player from Portugal!
