I'll never understand why you didn't include a feature that let the player continue managing without getting fired.
I was never very good at CM, but enjoyed it when I played it, even though it did not include the ability to create my own football universe (yes, I'm the guy who nagged you about this in the past).
Problem is, I never was able to last more than one season and part of a second before getting fired. Even when I *started* to turn a team around in my 2nd season as manager, I always got fired. That's freaking discouraging, Marc. I loved CM but never got a chance to really 'get into' managing a team.
And the CM boards were a very unfriendly place for people like me who just wanted to get some basic help on how to survive as a manager.
CM--I have the 01/02 version-- is a great game but it just stopped being fun a long, long time ago. The last couple of days I've even thought about uninstalling it.
The ability to go on managing without getting fired REALLY (really!) SHOULD HAVE been incorporated into the game. I even politely mentioned that on the CM boards and got laughed at by a bunch of very smug Europeans.
