    Just started w/ Kidderminster Harriers. I liked the name and they have some pretty decent players along with a decent stadium.

    So I am thinking about getting this game. Should I pay for it now or wait for next years version.

    Also can you play with Italian teams?

    Downloaded the torrance last week but it's fucking overwhelming. Just so much going on there the first time I got into it I havn't started it again since. Probably give it another run tonight. Been running Monaco on FIFA so i'll go Bremen on here.

    Yes, you can play as the Italian setup down to Lega Pro Prima Divisione

    It can be a bit overwhelming, but I have played it for a few years and probably still have some things I skip and don't know. I would just try to play a half season or so and mess around with the different features, transfer window, etc. and not worry about results. Once you kind of have it figured out, go from there and you will have a better understanding on what to do. Also, if you don't like watching the games and they take to long, bump the match speed up in the ingame menu and it will definitely speed things up big time.

    My best advice is to start out as a mid tier Championship (or that leagues equivalent) team. That way you can make mistakes and learn without the threat of getting the axe.

    Yeah definitely a good idea. Make sure the team is in good financial shape as well.

    Got 2010 today and am already having crashing issues. I'm having to save my game constantly. You'd think one of the three patches would have taken care of this but I guess not.

    they never fix shit because they never do more than 3 patches even if its needed

    Fuckers. I wonder if 2011 is going to be better in that regard.

    On the other hand, when it isn't crashing it's fun as hell. I'm just making sure to save constantly so it shouldn't be a huge problem.

    Weird. I haven't had one problem with it crashing.

    Also how can I move on to a different team. With the Galaxy and just won the MLS championship. I want to move onto an English team. I picked Spain England and the United States in the beginning... Does that mean I can move to the different countries only?

    Ok figured out that. With Fulham now. But how do I coach a national team? Would those appear in the jobs screen? Do I have to announce that I have interest in it like I did with Fulham?

    same screen but there is a bug in this version that makes it really hard to get one. i was considered world class and kept losing out on those jobs to guys with local or national reputations. try getting a u-21 gig or something with your home country

    Don't manage a MLS team. Apparently you're fucked for life. Would restart but I've put in enough hours.

    I haven't played 10, but I am still playing 09 and I'm in the 2012 season as Notts County in League 1. Turned down a couple colaship jobs. But yeah it's still fun and the only thing is the rosters are old, but to me it doesn't matter since I'm in the lower levels.
