- The OPTIONS Menu.
- -----------------
-
- Most boxes under this menu are
- of the toggable type: ie they merely
- switch certain conditions on or off.
-
- Default settings will be saved
- to disk automatically.
-
- The NEWS option allows you to determine
- the amount of mid-week activity.
- Between eight and twenty four events
- including possible transfers will take
- place depending on the setting. \
-
- SPEED
- The speed of match action is either
- slow, in which case each ball contest
- takes about two seconds, or normal,
- which lasts half a second, or fast
- which lasts 1/50th of a second.
- The effective duration of the action
- depends not only on this setting but
- on how many illustrations appear during
- the match. Offside flags, penalties,
- etc.. take a while to be displayed and
- slow things down a bit.
- You will find that intervening with
- the mouse during a match set to fast is
- not that easy. Press - on the keypad
- (repeatedly if necessary) to slow
- things down, then click on the logos. \
-
- HIGHLIGHTS is another variable
- affecting the way a reported match
- will look.
- The default mode is HIGHLIGHTS which
- will report all major events: goals,
- shots, fouls, corners, penalties,
- injuries and tactics changes.
- When set to FULL COMMENTARY, the
- players names will be reported all the
- time. Home players will be on the left
- Away players on the right. The player
- actually controlling the ball is shown
- in blue.
- The other setting is GOALS ONLY which
- will only report the goals scored, who
- scored them and when. \
-
- TRANSFERS amongst computer teams may
- either be automatic or off.
- You should remember that if automatic
- transfers are allowed, a great deal of
- player movement will take place,
- particularly if you have chosen the
- full weekly NEWS option.
- To reduce excessive player migration,
- you may either select BRIEF week events
- or turn TRANSFERS off periodically.
- Teams managed by user players will not
- embark on automatic transfers unless
- you allow your squad to be unduly
- depleted.
-
- This covers the option menu. ]
