So what you're saying is that a clip on a website you can't recall is worth a look but that we can't watch it because it has been removed, is that what you are saying?

Brilliant , now off to bed upsidedown poof either you're very tired or I've missed something.

Remember no clan today as Michal is on his holiday.

Yes I do think I need be musting sleep bad.

Thanks for the clan update! I had found that out already though by logging onto that 'special place' a short time ago.

Good thing I found that out, before I committed myself to staying up for another four and a half hours. :p

Night oh wise one. <insert bowing emoticon here>

Alright daft question time. I've hovered around this forum for a while, and like to read this particular section.

I've always played FM with very similar guidlines, and ethos to the people here. I don't use the editor, I don't use third party updates, I detest tipping, and am definitely against downloading tactics and training packs for the game, as I class it as cheating. I, also, more often than not, start in the lowest league.

what I do do however, is use the player search screen, and take advantage of the parent club implementation in the game when playing in the lower leagues.

so basically..if I was to not get a parent club, but continue to use the player search screen for transfers, does this means I'm not playing in the true spirit of a LLaMa?

Klipdrift

I'd say yes.

Player search is a definite no in my book.

Even if your just looking for unattached players.

Hire scouts and get them to find you crappy players to sign.

If, in the unlikely scenario, nobody seems to apply to your scout job-advert, player search might be an option.

I still wouldn't use it though.

No, no, ******, no, bloody hell, NO!!!

Player search is generally frowned on by Zealots...it's used by other LLaMas, does this mean we all think they have smelly feet?

No it bloody doesn't.

The "Player Search" thing is in the Guidelines.

If you feel it's okay, if you feel that your conscience will allow you to use what patently isn't available in real life, then sobeit, get on with it.

That alone won't exclude you from posting here.

Ricc

I'd certainly class it as debateable hence why I wasn't certain. I agree partly with those that say that real life managers don't have access to such a list, or database. They do however have access to other means of finding out the information of released/available for transfer players than we are privy to in-game, and there are various websites that list unattached footballers around.

iajafer

Looking for an argument? You've got the wrong room.

The Guidelines were written as that, as guidance for new guys to play LLM.

They always go along the way of how LLaMas can play the game as realistically as FM allows.

One thing LLM's not about is making the game easier by flouting any guidelines, but if you think making excuses is the way to justify using the Player Search, then go ahead.

Cosmo-poof

Just think about it, if it's realistic or not.
Is there a way to filter for the whole world's players who are godlike headers? Probably not.

Is there a way to show all players in your local league that are transfer listed or listed for loan? Maybe so.

It's your game. This forum offers a couple guidelines (also about the search screen), but as the header states, there are only some basic rules.

Enjoy your game, and if you feel, the spirit of this place is for you, we'd be happy to see your contributions.

Ricc

No no, I'm not after an argument. I apologise if it seemed that way. I was only seeking clarification on the guideline as I wasn't 100% sure. Thank's everyone for their replys.

cosmo - I certainly wouldn't use the filter to find players by stats, that is of course totally unrealistic. probably just to identify unattached, or available players before my scouts go earn their money.

anyway, my queries have been answered, thanks for the replys.
