Ahh, now I understand, what a great way to do your small part in helping people research cures for those diseases.  I will wait till my new machine arrives then install it on there.

[There is, team wise, drop their creative freedom right down, also to close gap between defence and midfield make sure defensive line is the same as or near attacking.Obviously individual instructions can also help ie stop forward runs, I forget the option that makes players move to opposition to tackle but you can drop that right down so they stay in position also make sure zonal marking is on.]

Having been a beta tester for both FM2005 and FM2006 and all the patches I can confirm this.  Central defenders really need everything 'turning off' so as to speak.  No forward run, no run with ball, have them set to Ultra Defensive, also check to see what they are set to do via the Team option.  If you change the Team options during a match, you just have to remember it will effect every member of the team that Has that setting for that particular option you changed.  You really have to take a very carefull look at how you set up each player, it takes a lot of time, probabkly a full season before you manage to work out the best for each individual, but hey, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

Hi there, looked at the DMF link, I'm afraid I don't get it :blush:   It's like I've been morphed into another world, I'm completely lost on there.   :huh:

I was a beta tester for FM2005 and 2006, though I don't play it much these days, I'm totally into FPS.

Long range sniper aye?  

Thanks for the welcomes guys, sorry for hijacking the thread.   :blink:

I have a very good headset that I bought especially for this game, along with the new computer.  The headset is a Medusa 5.1 surround sound with 8 integrated speakers, an amplifier box and a remote control.

Hi guys I',m new to BF2 and probably not that good at it, but I found you via the Tactical Gamer site which appears to have the same ideals as you guys, just the kind of people I want to play with.

I'm a former soldier, 14 years with and Infantry Battalion, served in Londonderry, N Ireland 1970-72 in the bad old days, we were the resident Battalion there for that period, also saw service in Cyprus, Malta, West Germany (as it was then), Norway and Belize as well as two more tours of N Ireland, one in The New Lodge area of Belfast and the other down in County Fermanagh.  My main role when not on active tours was as a Mortar Fire Controller (MFC), I loved that job, pity there's no requirement for any in civvi street.  

I'm married to a Londonderry girl (well she was a girl 33 years ago , have two grown up sons and a dog called Paddy.  I'm sort of semi retired now and live up in North Lincolnshire, about 500 metres from the Humber Bridge.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting some games in with you guys soon as my new computer arrives, and I've had time to get some practice in SP before venturing online.  See you all soon.
