I've not got into the tactics yet. I'm still messing around with all the teams trying to see how all the players are etc.

What about the training then?

I've got 2 Fitness coaches - 5 star ratings, a 5 star Fitness and Conditioner and 1 5 star sports massage, but the players fitness are still low?

After every game make sure you give the players a recovery session with your club masseur (sp).

When a player gets injured or promoted to your main squad etc, they get taken off the training regime so you have to put them back on it when they recover/join up.

That's basically all I do and the players start off every game with more or less 90% fitness

Players fitness are all high now.

Got beat 24-10 off Catalans, then lost 36-0 to Wire lol.

Still very hard.

At least you now know that it isn't down to the fitness and that you can concentrate on where the team is going wrong on the pitch




Oh bugger, I've actually started fully now. I've got all my coaches in place with Saints on Hard mode, but now my wage bill is making me lose money. Wage bill is 52k and the income is 30k

Already 100k+ in debt, edging that much closer to the 2m balance withdrawl.

I've invested in a youth player that took me over the withdrawl costing 700k+ and he isn't ready yet

Yeah me. Have you managed to get round this yet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, have you tried updating your DirectX with the link on the download page? I t never worked for me but may be helpful to you.

I always go 12-0 up and then the other team beats me 30-12 or something with Leeds. Could have been an easier difficulty.

It's all the same difficulty, just the Easy, Medium, Hard is the financial part of the game.

Have you got good fitness trainers and make your players have the recovery thing after a game?

Has anyone been offered another job so early in the season? After my first game with Wigan, I got offered the Huddersfield job for the next season, they must be desperate!

Also, has anyone accidently forgot to renew a contract, I lost Trent Barrett to Doncaster after my second game because I forgot to look at the contracts screen!

Yeah also I have tried updating it from another site but no joy...

Check your messages after everytime you press continue, continually updated.

One thing that is annoying me, is that when you start as Hull, you are already over the overseas quota when in reality they aint!
