Can we combine the two? Sometimes when my players are in bad form, I want to shoot them.

My game is being very cruel right now. I started out the new season by winning manager of the month. Then a rash (7 first team players) of injuries and general lack of form hit. now i'll be lucky to finish in the top 6.
Everytime I turn around another player goes down. It's getting annoying.

Hey Marc............I just read that Championship Manager 02/03 for the XBOXwill be released in November. Any chance that there will be a U.S. version?

currently running manUTD into the ground...unintentionally, sadly. mostly beginner's luck i suppose. though i have found that giggs and ole up front with fortune as an attacking midfielder just behind works incredibly. but my defense is ************.
yeah. that's what i've got to say. once i'm no longer grounded i'll be back.

One think I really hope they fix in CM4 is to allow you to change tactics without having to wait for a dead ball. It's frustrating as hell when I want to change tactics to Defensive when the flow of the game is changing, but I can't do it until a dead ball, and sure enough the other team scores before a dead ball.
Argh!

Here are some menubars I think you will enjoy ;)
CM 3 Menubars (http://www.acmilan-online.com/menubars.php)
To install them you just need to use the "piced" file in your CM 3 folder. It is fairly simple.

Tactics
1. Formation? fullbacks are bad. Throw out some version of a 3-5-2 and rotate them depending on opponent, score, etc.
2 Team instructions? You'll see this tab when you click on tactics. Set it to mixed or short for more possession. It won't work out too well if you're team's crap. You can also edit individual player instructions by right clicking on them in the tactics screen. It's useful to set the 3 centerbacks to 'direct' and goalie on 'long' passing.

It was since the previous time of qualifying, that was by winning the Champions League in 2043 with Hayes, took over Leeds in the first division in 2070, finishing 4th in 2075.

See if you can scare up a copy on ebay. hlaf.com might be your best bet. Probably difficult to find in the US, but a UK search should find many, many copies. You'll just have to find someone willing to ship it over.
Good luck and make sure you have some time on your hands.
