OK, to stop the forum getting increasingly cluttered with requests for network games, keep all requests for new games, meets and so forth in here, please.

Anything to do with network games which isn't kept in this thread will be locked.

Have fun with your online play!

You need to enable ports 10093-10094, on both UDP and TCP.

Heyas

I know there's a pinned network game thread, but it has 10 posts, and the last one being made 2007, so my question is; is there anywhere here or other place where people arrange network games?

I'm growing tired of beating the AI, and I've always preferred CM/FM against friends, either online or by playing on the same computer. If anyone can point me to some (mature) network game action, I'd be very appreciative

Then you know where this belongs.

Personally, I'm not sure. I'm sure someone somewhere knows, though. First stop, as ever, would be Google or your search engine of choice.

Gah, I knew you would move it
Well, I'm not looking to play some random 12 year old. This is the only board I've found, which there is some actual discussion and some well thought posting, and that's why I was hoping this wasn't the only post about network games

i was wondering if there would be any one who wanted to join and start up a network game. we could vote on what league and see what time would be best and how often. cheers

Name: FM2009 Champions of England
Minimum age: 20
Patch: 9.0.2
Database: medium
Leagues: England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, France
Max numbers of players: 6
Starting: as soon as possible

Rules:

Times of play

Twice a week, with startup time between 6PM and 8PM GMT. Days will be decided amongst the players. The savegame will be open 30 minutes ahead, so that managers can search for players, make tactics etc before the play starts.

Game can be cancelled due to special circumstances as parties, holidays, birthdays etc

Each manager will be forced to choose 'Sunday League Footballer' as reputation before taking over a club.

Searching for players should be done when one of the other players are having a game. This is to ensure the flow of the game. In extreme occasions, ie where one gets alot of keyplayers injured etc, he/she will be allowed to take some time to search for new players even outside a game.

All games must be played on high speed, with replays switched off, and in key highlights. It will not be allowed to watch another teams game, if it does not involve another player.

If a player goes away for more than 5 minutes he/she must go on 'holiday' until he/she is back. If a player goes on holiday, he/she has to contact the gamehost in IRC/msn and ask to rejoin, due to the tendency for crashing if anyone rejoins in the middle of a game.

There will be a 'gentlemans agreement' between the players. This means that no player should bid on another players coaches, scouts, assistants and physios.

It's only allowed to take over clubs in PL or the Championship. The other leagues are there just for the realism of the game.

Signing Bosman-players is a nice way to get players cheap, and to earn a buck or two selling them later on. But, any player signed, whether on free transfer or for a fee, must remain in the club for at least 12 months before being sold again.

It will also be a cap of signing 3 players under the age of 20 each season.

Managers who get fired which have the option to resign, and make a new profile, and start with the same club, or to just wait for an offer from another PL/championship side (which is not amongst the top 8 teams of the division).

I am looking for players who wants to make this a long savegame, and who will participate in IRC/msn while playing.

Players who wants to join, please send me a PM with the following information:
Name:
Age:
CN/FM versions played:
Preferred 2 days of play:
Days you cannot play:
What makes you a good canditate:

It's highly recommended to have all players untick the option 'Move matches for TV' before playing an online game of FM, in which case all your matches will be at the same time and searching for players can be done in the week between matches. Also, I'd consider putting auto-continue on for a maximum of 1 minute.

Just a couple of pointers to what works well in our clan
