I was thinking about doing a two-tier MLB dynasty, and whether I would change the name back.
But I wouldn't know which cities to give teams - bar Montreal as they already had a team (and maybe San Jose as I think that's what the A's will be named if they go to Fremont) - so I scrapped that idea.

have you seen anything on them changing their name to San Jose?

Nope. Only in articles from newspapers on the web. "Silicon Valley" or "Fremont" has also been mentioned, but seriously everyone knows that the A's owner wants "San Jose" as the name - after all he wanted to be allowed to go there.

I just hope he finds a stadium for the Earthquakes as well.

Overcast would work for me right now. And maybe some rain too.

An update on the one J. League applicant.

It looks all over for Kyushu-based Rosso Kumamoto's hopes of promotion to J. League Division 2 in 2007, after they yet again failed to win. This time they drew 2-2 with 6th ranked Yokogawa Musashino, and so are five points behind 2nd placed Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo with just four games to go.

id like to see these natches. Maybe they can pull off a miracle.

Finally, SI have confirmed what I already knew about the reason they don't have the J. League.

In response to a list of questions from a user, Francis Cole said regarding the J. League.

On another note, thank goodness we didn't get merged there. The people over there are some of the most ignorant and abusive people I've seen.

They have gone for a hard-edged realism at the expense of flexibility and fun. And they didnt finish the editor meaning many things cant be altered.

Why did you buy it then?

bababui · 11-14-2006, 03:09 AM

Who knew??

No more scouting outside England

No more hiring more than 3-4 coaches

lower attendence with much greater payroll issues do to new bonuses like win/appearance bonuses

Also, the mechanism for loading players from other countries really sucks. Its a dropdown menu that only lets you click one nation at a time and goes back to the top.

bababui · 11-14-2006, 03:18 AM

They also dropped the 442 counter tactic.

I guess that is all more realistic isn't it though? (If you mean Conference clubs)

After all we have that stupid "Team Talk" stuff that is about as useful as a chocolate teapot in its execution.

It was like that in FM06.

It is realistic..just not as fun

But it can be used to manipulate the game depending on our human deviousness. I am highly rated in that.

Yes but once you chose your nations they would stay there till you cleared them. Now they go once you start the game. It sucks at the start because there are always things Im discovering that make me want to restart the game. At least some match tactics are much improved and deep.

I think I'm safe to post the latest Pythagorean Premiership table now, without spoiling any results for anyone.
