yeah it's not always realistic, but it's the closest you'll get with games. i just think this game loses it's meaning if you cheat too much, might as well fire up the editor and tranfser every good player to your club, and give everyone 200 potential ability. it's not a game of skill, like fifa, it's more of a tactical game, where you have to figure some thing out yourself. that's what i like in this game.
That all depends on your perspective. I'm not really into tactics, I like the idea that of buying no name players and giving them a chance to shine, I like buying veterans (or getting them on free transfer) and giving them two more seasons, I like playing a club I know well and having the same exact players as in real life to see who is good and who isn't.
When I start the game and pick a club, I like to choose a formation that suits the players I have at the start. Then I hit the transfer market to complement my squad and fill in the gaps. As the game goes on, I replace certain players, keeping the same formation.

well than you're an cm-type-player, much as like myself, although that don't work anymore in fm series, much has been transfered to tactics and formation. it's not like the days of cm3, buy robbie keane from wolves, put him on amc, and see him pack 40 goals and 30 assists per season and win everything with ease. tactics are far more important now.
Boo.
I've done #5 once. The game crashed and I lost a couple of games. I was managing some small-timers (div 2), and one of the lost games was a league cup win over a Premiership team. I restarted five times before I got the win again, but it went to extra time, exhausting all my players and costing me the next match. I've never done it since.
I've never even heard of #4, and numbers three to one are just silly.
I want to be able to offer contracts to greyed out players though.:depressed
I don't agree. I think you can get away with anything if you have the players for it.

Not if it's stipulated otherwise in the EULA. For instance, Sony's EULA on their CDs that were causing so much trouble recently included the stipulation that if you lost or destroyed your CD, you were required to delete any electronic copies of the music from it. Stupid, unfair and possibly not viable in court, but there nevertheless.
