FM 2006 Penalties

Does anyone else find that sometimes when you actually win on penalties, the result shows you've been beat?

I've just beat Sunderland 3-2 on penalties and it's shown up on the results page that they won 3-1!

I've never had that. But it also has man utd playing their home games at maine road.

Guess you guys havent patched the game to 6.0.3?

This sorts out all that mallarky

In my game I just had a bit of a problem, while my comp was saving the treble winning seasn I had with this lad scoring 65 goals in it, it crashed like a good un and corrupted the save. That means I have to play my last month again

Well harsh

The only problem I have with pens on mine is I can never win a shootout if im away from home or if im the designated away team on a neutral ground. It works the other way for me though ie I always win my home shootouts, annoying though if your 2nd leg of CL games are away

Patch?

that will sort out all your penalty woes and more

You will have to start a new game though

Just download any one of these yeah?
And it'll sort out the rest itself?

I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to computer stuff!

Yeah there are two versions

With data updates the teams to the jan transfer window.

Without data just keeps it as the august transfer window but fixes the problems.

Just download and run the file.

I got knocked out of the ldv vans or whatever its called on pens, but they put me through to the next round anyway. I never scored a single pen, but I ended up in the next round.

Its because the new game had a bug where it was not registering the Pens correctly dave. patch it and it works I tells ya.

I just beat Celtic in the CL final (for the 2nd time after my comp crashed) on pens and now I am getting ready for the confederations cup with England. All fun.

I have a game going where I manage Accrington Stanley, i also have Sporting Gijon in spain and Dave Usher managing Groningen in Holland, and i guess you will be pleased to know that Groningen under your leadership are doing very well. Nicely tucked in at 4th, just 5 points behind PSV but ahead of both Ajax and Feyernoord, and in the semi of the cup. Erwin Koeman of Feyernoord just went public with his praise of Dave Ushers managerial abilities.

Sporting Gijon ( under ex Crewe player Gareth Whalley`s leadership ) are runaway leaders with David Karanka banging in the goals ( why Rafa has`nt checked him out is a mystery) but i struggle a bit more with Acccrington, but still have a chance to reach play off.

Never experienced the penalty shoot out problems, but before i installed the patch ( in an earlier game) all my players in all my team missed almost every penalty in games. Steven Gerrard missed 5 in a row for Liverpool, that was annoying to say the least.

Awesome! Always liked that Erwin Koeman fella, knows his stuff he does.

Annoying but realistic.

I started my current game on Altrincham; had a good first season finishing in higher mid-table and then after a scorchio start to the season got offered the Peterborough job. Took them from 23rd in League Two to second and won promotion. Currently in pre-season and have somehow snapped up Alvaro Recoba on �4k a week as my star player for the coming season. He's going to rule in a way nobody ever has in League One.

Depends how you want it I spose. I always get with data to keep the database up to date as much as poss, but for realism start without data.

Basically all depends if you want Fowler at Liverpool at the start of the game or not i guess.

Downloaded the thingummajig (took 3 bastardin' hours!!!) and now when i open FM it only opens in a small window... i'll have a fiddle with the display settings and get back to you!

Cheers for all your help chaps!
