- Patch for CM2 English/Scottish Version
- ======================================
-
- As the Bosman ruling is now reality - this has been used in the game.
-
- For those of you who may not know, the Bosman ruling means that for clubs in
- countries from the European Union, foreigners are defined as being from
- countries outside the EU. So this means that a club from a country in the EU
- can field as many players from countries in the EU as they like. It also
- means that any player who has reached the end of his contract is free to leave
- and can join another club.
-
- This patch will iron out most of the bugs which have been reported to date,
- as well as contain some minor refinements (in particular to the gameplay).
- All transfers and manager changes which have happened since the beginning
- of the season will be included.
-
- Please note that this patch will not be compatible with any of your saved
- games to date due to many fundemental changes to the source code.
-
-
- We have divided the changes that have been made into the following three
- sections:
-
- 1. Bug Fixes
- 2. Improvements
- 3. New Features
-
-
-
- 1. Bug Fixes
- ============
-
- 1.1 Having more than รบ99Million in the bank will no longer crash the game.
-
- 1.2 International teams will name their replacement manager soon, and
- not wait for ages before doing so.
-
- 1.3 You will have the chance to be offered an international job.
-
- 1.4 You get the chance to say 'Yes' or 'No' to job offers.
-
- 1.5 Direct and Long-ball style of play are less effective. There was an
- unfortunate bias towards these styles, resulting in the Premiership becoming
- inundated with crap teams after a few seasons, and weaker teams doing rather
- too well in cup competitions. This means that with the right kind of team you
- will have success using the passing style.
-
- 1.6 There was a bias in the match ratings towards defenders. This had
- side-effects like their values shooting up, and others down.
-
- 1.7 International Suspensions no longer count for friendlies.
-
- 1.8 You can offer a player a new contract while he is still under contract.
-
- 1.9 A large number of minor refinements and bug fixes to make the game
- and gameplay better.
-
-
-
- 2. Improvements
- ===============
-
- 2.1 There are now fewer sackings, there were a bit too many before.
-
- 2.2 The number of goals has been adjusted. There were too many, and some
- really silly scorelines. It is now more realistic.
-
-
- 2.3 If a Player Manager is sacked, he is put on a free transfer.
-
- 2.4 If you join in as a manager of a team which has an existing player manager,
- this player manager will be free-transferred
-
- 2.5 Possibility of a manager release clause in a player's contract.
-
- 2.6 More realistic International squads.
-
- 2.7 Big Club release clause fairer to selling club.
-
- 2.8 There is a limit Set Asking Price (to deter those of you who cheat !)
-
- 2.9 Adjusted and improved wage budget/structure.
-
- 2.10 Many player's stats and info have been improved (thanks to all
- comments/suggestions from many of you).
-
- 2.11 Two new International dates.
-
- 2.12 Keepers now involved in fouls/injuries - they can now get sent off.
-
- 2.13 Players who do not play regular first team football - their values
- will not fall too drastically.
-
-
-
- 3. New Features
- ===============
-
- 3.1 There is now a holiday option for managers - this is useful when you
- are playing a multi-player game and one of you cannot play - the holiday
- option means that the computer will take over the running of the club until
- that manager returns.
-
- 3.2 Shortlist facility for International managers.
-
- 3.3 Allowed to SELL players after deadline (i.e. Asprilla).
-
- 3.4 Schoolboys as well as free transfers available. You find your own
- youngsters at the end of the season instead of them being allocated
- automatically to you. This will mean more control over players you wish
- to bring into the team.
-
- 3.5 'No Fee' Parameter in Player Search (for players available free under
- Bosman ruling).
-
- 3.6 Sort by Player Form on Squad Screen - this will look at the player's
- form over his last matches and is in worded form from 'very poor' through
- to 'superb'.
-
- 3.7 Searching by name on Player Search will now work with clubs and countries
- (i.e you can type in club and country names)
-
- 3.8 Shows 3 Star players for all computer managed teams (i.e. all English
- teams as well as foreign teams).
-
- 3.9 International Friendlies now organised at start of season by F.A.
- (i.e. automatically). You can cancel/rearrange these.
-
- 3.10 All transfers will be right up to date - so when you start a new game
- the teams will be as of now and not August.
