The option to play the match ala Sensible World Of Soccer!!

But I imagine that's pushing it a bit far...

The feature to make Man City win the treble each and every time ;)

O.K. George, I'll see what I can fix errr do.

Rsbrowndog:

Lets see what happens eh!

I have already thought about this. I am concentrating on getting all the data and leagues working correctly first ;-)

That only happens in your dreams George :)

How about an option to kick boots and injure your star players when you think they've played badly - a la Alex Ferguson !

LOL @ Smiff

An update:

The calendar system is complete allowing rearranged matched to be slotted in on an ad-hoc basis.


The player editor has been started and is a very important part. Most of the data in the game is contained in here.

Good luck, it's good to see plenty of ambition.

And of course, a little competition never hurt anyone..

Thats very true.

I have written one in the past for the amiga that was going to be picked up by Mindscape before they went bust/got out of the games market.

Not bad. I wrote one for the Amstrad CPC which was as good as titles such as Soccer Boss and Treble Champions.

But then the problem there is they were terrible. But still, I did plan one that was about the equal of CM2 (and it all fit in 128K somehow) but by then it was about 1998, so I got myself a PC and played the real thing instead...
