30 Years in an extended English Pyramid. AMA.

Happy to find your team and players (or anything else) for your interest. Just leave a comment.

It may actually be 29 years but the computer is grinding now so I have to give it up. Luckily, it ended on a high. I have loaded leagues all the way down to level 10, and Burgess Hill Town, started in the Isthmian South. No other leagues.

How I played

  • Loaded an extended pyramid mod (it was top notch for detail.)
  • Simulated all matches (via a skin that allows that)
  • Most things were delegated to the Assistants
  • I did manage the match day squad, player trading, team morale matters, 1st team staff and bugging the board to spend money.

What I found

  • The board didn't improve anything much till maybe League 2. Final stadium is still quite small.
  • I never got any players through the academy, even near the end when it was maxed
  • The lower leagues are a chore to get out of.

The Gaffer: Sir Dick Headsgate. Knighted before his football career, Richard Headsgate became affectionately known as Sir Dick!

Curiosity: Save game file size is 440mb.

Gripe: Why can't you just improve your Training (or other things) like 5 steps at once, rather than asking the board every 6 months and they increase it half a star each time. Same as Youth. Say you have a ton of money and want to build the new La Masia, why should the game stop you doing that.

Biggest Fall?: Preston North End in the VN North

I won 5-3 with Three Red Cards

This is a save that I am simulating each match. So perhaps the Simulating mechanic is not quite as good as playing the game full. Or my team is full of a beasts. Either/or
