dudevillaisnice Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I presume I need a fast internet connection for the online hosting bit? I only have 40Kb/s upload not sure that is enough to host a game.. anyone know the requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Patch Cheers. End of next week by the looks of it, subject to no more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 One problem, I cant get Hamachi on my Mac as LogMeIn stopped developing the Mac version. I dont think you need to use Hamachi anymore, aslong as you can log in to your Router and open up ports 10093 and 10094 it should let people connect straight in without Hamachi, I dont mind hosting either I dont have the best mac in the world tbh ive only tried hostinga 1vs1 game so not sure how itd cope with more people.. but im willing, if Dvin has a gaming pc though thatd probs be the best choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Would there be room for another i can play any evening/night of the week, usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Depends on the recommended upload speed, I by no means have a fast upload connection so the game will be really laggy i'd imagine.. Still i'll give it a go! Anyway, on Hamachi : Join an existing network - Network ID : Villatalk Password : vt321 I probably won't be around all the time but I'll leave hamachi switched on so if I don't reply it means i'm not at my desk.

villaajax Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Playing as Oxford I drew Portsmouth in the League Cup and beat them 4-2, then my game crashed, I'll be damned if I'm not getting my win! I've had to go back as far as the draw and I've drawn MK Dons this time and cannot beat them. I'm having my win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Can you open the ports so i can join? Cant find a usable version of Hamachi for mac anywhere... just a Terminal Version... and i dont want to mess about in terminal as i'll **** my comp up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Griffiths is amazing in the game, you can get him really cheap too (£500k) is what I paid, play him as a poacher.. I've had him in all my championship clubs :- So far for Hull - 24 appearances, 17 goals. 7 assists, 3 MoM In Jan 2010 now and he is worth £1.9m too. Another is Soukouna (Free agent), play him as a advanced forward.. So far he has for Hull : 20 appearances, 8 goals, 7 assists, 3 MoM He is now worth £4.6m Oh and has anyone else managed to pick up Marco Veratti? I was shocked when I could sign him for Hull (he is co-owned by two clubs) I paid in total £1.4m for him (for both shares). Great player. Also recommend Saphir Taider.

Shoody Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have Marco Verratti in my most recent Villa game, can put a shift in in the prem towards end of first season. Just finished season 3 and he had a spell of games where he was my game changer really brilliant. He dropped off a bit towards the end of the season so i dropped him, but he's still only 21 I think and I think this season he will be a full starter. I did try and use the majority of the Villa squad for as long as I could with some fairly believable editions. -------------Ochoa Walker---Davies---Clark---Enrique -----------Sissoko---Delph Albrighton-----Ireland-----Young ------------------Fonz was my starting 11 for a while then went 442 with Lukaku and Fonz, got Llorente now (thought, for where I was at the time it was believable as Spurs did try and buy him recently) Trying to get rid of Sakho, great stats but hasnt gelled to the team, Clark consistently out performing him. ----------------Ochoa Walker---Davies---Clark---Dodo (bought when he was 17 first season) ----------Sissoko---Delph Albrighton------Verratti----Young -----------------Llorente Bench: Smithies, Phil Jones, NRC/Veloso (also hasn't fit in), Modric, Fonz, Lukaku, Bannan is how i line up now, trying to get Vertonghen in to replace Veloso/Sakho, Modric's just come in to replace Vargas (great signing but spent too much for him after 40 Appearances, so sold him for £15m after 39 games) Season2: 4th Prem 3rd Rnd FA Cup (Chelsea) Qtr Final League Cup (Baggies :'( ) Won Europa Cup Lost to Bayern in Super Cup Season 3: Just won Prem (on goal difference) and Champions League in Season 3 . Vs Lyon (who beat Madrid + Barca on the way - in fairness I had a relatively easy run) Lost to Chelsea in Fa Cup Final Gabby in my squad also, but coming to end of his contract, hes done well but I can't justify the £80k wages he wants. Majority of squad were on 50k till Sissoko contract needed renewing and wouldnt budge from 100k. everybody on 60k or less apart from Sissoko (100k) and Modric (80k). Got everybody on 4.5 year contracts so hoping to have the majority of my squad not asking for ridiculous wages for 4 years. (Verratti on 20k for next 5 years, same for Dodo, Great signings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I aquired this yesterday now that I have a nice shiny new laptop. Managed to have a quick half hour on it this morning (I was suprised how quick it runs) played 2 very quick friendlies against the villa reserves and against some non league team won the first match 3-nill and the second 5-nill (I know everything always goes tits up after the friendlies) I should never have bought the game though all day I have been scouring the world (wide web) for the next Kaka, making imaginary phonecalls to players agents and launching scathing half time team talks at all of my co-workers obsession here we come going to start a new game up when I get home and properly sit down and sort everything out, any one got any good tips for young cheap signings?

Shoody Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Dodo - Corinthians (have to have Brazil in the database) Marco Verratti - Co-owned by 2 clubs Romelu Lukaku - Anderlecht (put 3m-or-so down then pay rest off after 40 matches if you have to) Axel Witsel - Standard is fairly cheap iirc Bueno (spanish striker, not great but will do a job) Macheda - loan Jack Cork Jack Rodwell John Fleck << Can play left wing, AMC, striker Connor Wickham Lewis Holtby Kakuta Staff: Robert Duverne (Villa) - Fitness 4.5 Stars Paul Winsper - Unattached - Fitness 5 Stars Harald Schumacher - Hard to get - GoalKeeping 5 Stars Steve Round - Everton - Assistant Manager - 4 Stars on most things (I have him on Tactics) Massimo Bonini - Defending 4 Stars Ventrone - Attacking, Defending, Shooting - 4 Stars Tosh Farrell - VERY CHEAP - 4.5 Stars Shooting Giambattista Venturati - VERY CHEAP - 4.5 Stars Fitness, 4 Stars Attacking and Shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 going to start a new game up when I get home and properly sit down and sort everything out, any one got any good tips for young cheap signings? Veratti (can pick him up for £1.4m) , Leigh Griffiths (can pick him up for £500k), Lukaku (top striker), Bannan (on Loan) and Smalling on Loan. Sign De Merit on a free, Sign Kakuta on loan and that squad should be easily 1nd-2rd in the championship providing your tactics are spot on.
