haha man i used to love Parma, little do people know how many great players played there; Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram, Hernan Crespo, Hristo Stoichkov, Ortega to name but a few. And my favorite player of all time Enrico Chiesa.

there are 2 ways this SIM could be run.


Option A: players created with the real names, real physical descriptions and accurate ratings. However, because I can only create 30 players at a time, I can only have 2 full rosters created at all times. So now after creating the groups, I'll put up say alex's team vs dman's team in Play Now mode twice and put up the stats into ........................................ that ^^^ thread. Then I'll take out alex's team and put in vdsf's team and get those games done as well. So I'm not really simming it thru the tournament mode because I can't have all the rosters in at the same time ...


unless ..

Option B: I take players who are already in the game and modify their ratings to fit the ratings of the players I wanna create. Example: say Riquelme hadn't been picked, I could edit his ratings to fit say Giuseppe Meazza's ratings. However, I can't edit Riquelme's name or how he looks, so we would end up with something like a black Claudio Caniggia whose name in the game would be Lucas Viatri. THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS would end up being this way, and I don't know if I want to do that. However, if I choose to do it this way then I could sim this whole thing thru the actual tournament mode, and bookings/injuries/etc could be enabled.

Would like your thoughts on this

Option B sounds like less work for you, but you give those players likeness right? Thats no big deal about the likeness IMO. I wouldnt care if Cruyff in the game is purple...just as long as he plays like he can. Its not like we can watch these games play out.

Ya but I think the most important thing is to have accurate ratings for each player.

ok well, let's see what everyone else says

dman, go ahead and change the thread title to "trade season is open" or something, since you said you wanted to make FA pickups and trades available.

True haha Parma didnt have the money. but still, watching Buffon in goals and Cannavarro and Thuram in defense, thats just nasty
