A previous blog post related to this game stated that I would be attempting to take Shrewsbury Town to the Barcalys Premier League. I now wanted to share with everyone that I won’t be achieving any personal targets I had set because somehow the saved game file does not load anymore. I was playing it last night and had saved it and now nothing loads up. I am very angry because this has never happened before and I had put a lot of effort in making this team a good competitive team with loanees and free transfers.
I felt my heart sink when it did not load. Now I have to start again. I may just start a new challenge with a new team.
I have been a fan of football management games on PC since Championship Manager 3. Since Football Manager started its series of football management I have been playing them each year. I am very experienced as I have adapted to the new features of each installment. Big teams such as Manchester United and Barcelona are teams I pick to manage in the first few weeks when I buy a new game but after a number of weeks you feel like taking on a low division team.
Other people I know have asked me why I choose to manage a low division team when they don’t have any big name players or the finance to win major trophies straight away. However it is very rewarding when you manage a team from npower League 2 and help them reach the Coca Cola Championship or Barclays Premier League. It may not be in the space of 5 years in the game but you build the club and make it a success over time.
I started a new game this week with Shrewsbury Town in the npower League 2 who are predicted to finish in 11th position. I have made some transfer deals to help the club achieve a higher position. Below is a list of players I brought in:
My top player will be Pablo Counago as he has high attributes and is the best striker I have. It is hard to say what will happen because the season has only started.
Below are some screenshots of my squad list and the formation I use. I will try to post an update every season with information and screenshots. Hopefully I can get this team to the top.
