3 days tops.

:lol:

hmmmmm...id be suprise if his team is working atm.

and imno...marti is for sale for $2.3 mil.

Im no whore. :evil:

:lol: Speaking of Marty, we need some more hattrick managers I reckon...

too bad he made an agreement to buy you for that price or above! damn, someone's worth alot!

How does one play? Is it like fantasy games?

Somewhat... Imno did it explain it to you once and you just disappeared :lol:

Its something like FM, but you play against real people, twice a week (league and cup). And all the names are made up. Good bit of fun. I probably spend no more than 30mins a week on it to keep the team going, but it depends on whether you want to actually follow the games, how hard you go in search of players, etc.

If you are (or anyone else) is interested - http://www82.hattrick.org/Common/default.asp Over a million users.

ill let Nico to explain. imno is the best at explaining to the new comers. [screams to imno] bid on marti already!

im guessing marty is going to dissapear again.

Whoa whoa
Hey guys Im Imnofreak and Im here to tell you all about the wonderful world of hattrick!

haha
but seriously:



that is exactly right. My heart never truly recovered :P

ok marty, READ it this time :P

Its a game where basically you play twice a week in a league game as well as friendly/cup game. When you start you get assigned a team in a league with 18 or so pretty bad players.



Basically there are 6 Divisions and there is like 1200 Leagues in div 6, 600 in div 5, etc etc
Dont know exact numbers
8 teams are in each league, and the top team has a chance to auto promote or play a qualification match (Depending how they are ranked among other league leaers in their division) and the bottom two auto relegate with the 5-6th teams playing a relegation playoff.


Your players have 8 skills:
Stamina- Useful for all players. The higher this is, the less skill will be lost towards the end of the match due to fatigue.
Goalkeeping - Useful for only GKs of course.
Playmaking: Most important for your Inner Mids but useful for anybody on the park, excluding GK.
Passing: Useful for all players, really helps in creating chances.
Winger: Useful for Wingers, Wing Backs and a little for Forwards as well
Defending: Most important for defenders but helps to have your Mids with this skill as well as your GK.
Scoring: Most important for Forwards, helpful for Wingers and IMS to have it.
Set Pieces: Important for all players. Try to have at least 3 good set piece takers.

The skills are ranked as follows

Non-existant
Disastrous
Wretched
Poor
Weak
Inadequate
Passable
Solid
Excellent
Formidable


the rest you dont need to worry about yet
Your arena size is also important If you are regularly selling out the stadium, increase your stadium size to generate more income per week.
Buying younger players is imperative. Buy 19-23 year olds and sell them off before they turn 27 so they dont decrease so much in value. Having a good coach is also important but its up to you whether you want to do that first or buy better players. I recommend buying a coach, getting a few young players of the same type (3 midfielders) and train them up and sell them for profit or keep them.

Hope that helps you when you start out.


Edit: Also, you have the option to start a youth academy when you start where you can train up younger players from age 15. Get that started straight away.

And 3 words you must always remember when playing this game

MIDFIELD IS KING!

If you win the midfield, you will win the game. Make sure your midfielders have the highest primary skill on your team. Never forget it. Midfield is king. If you have shit everything but good midfield you will win.

and an extra:
Transfer Listed players are all from teams currently existing.
It works as an auction, a player is Transfer Listed by a team and is put on the market, with a set deadline. The highest bidder when the deadline arrives wins the player.
If somebody bids in the last minute, it extends the deadline by 3 minutes.

twas all copy and pasted from when mk started

And marty, if you start a team, Be SURE to read the Manual. Really helps

Putting a bid on him now :)

thanks mate

I get confused with all this "hatrick" "FM" lingo being tossed around. I only open the threads to mark it as read - and sometimes i end up reading some posts. :P

Makes me wonder about the quality of the service... I assume +$1m is good yeah?? :lol:

haha. This certain player is worth a minimum 2.1 mil and max of about 3. Hoping to get him for less than 2.5.

Lingo? Ah i assume you mean PIC and MOTS and such
PIC means Play It Cool and means your players conserve energy and dont go all out in the match, which increases TS (Team Spirit). When TS is high the players play much better. So if you are playing 3 teams who you cant beat or you will 100% beat, you PIC so your TS is high so you can MOTS (Match Of The Season) in important games.

When you MOTS your TS goes down.
There :)

:shock:

Never seen that before! :lol:

Stop hurtin my head.

hit him hard imno!

how's the team going mk? ready for your match tomorrow?

[black woman voice]I will pull out things like TL, WC, and YA on yo ass! [/black woman voice]

i think u put him off imno. he'll be sticking with fifa from now on.

Goddamn it. I always come on too strong :( :P

unless you want to be a GM... [cough,cough]

when did u get the role as mod nico? or did i miss that?

PES damnit. Haven't played in over 8 months now - saving up for PS3, but will probably end up buying textbooks. :roll:

ahh the wonderful life of being a student.
and Kim, Nico was announced as mod around 2 days ago
Nico, Stiflers and Afro all got the mod, I mean, the nod. :lol:

Benjamin too. All in the announcements forum.

Oh yeah. Forgot about him.
So is everybody looking to win tommorow? Nico probably isnt?

i wont be expecting a win soon. only expecting to come 6th this season unless i get some cash for a new forward.

whats a decent forward these days? the only forwards i had last season were two solids and im suprised i came 5th with just those.

Brills are around 2-3 mil i think
