Anyway, I thought I would start a thread, not for everyone to drone on about how good or bad they are (I got sacked in November first attempt!) but to share opinions on when playing as Stags, on who to buy, who is good at the club etc.
In my second game where I'm currently in December and 3rd, I sold CJ Hamilton, managed to get 900k for him, as he didn't pull up many trees in my first game, and Otis seems a better option. Also got a fee for Logan, McDonald and Sterling-James. In my game I am also hoping to get rid of Tomlinson, Bishop, Maynard and Davies. Olejnik for me becomes a good steady keeper, but you will need a decent keeper till he comes back to fitness in the game. I play Dapo and Rose as my first choice pairing, and to date, early December one has 10 goals and the other 11.
Lewis Buxton is a good free, he is a good alternative to White who is quite injury prone in my game. I signed Florent Cuvellier who is a free agent, former Morecambe I think. Callum Slattery from Soton, Jermaine Hylton from Motherwell are two really good loan signings also. I have just started play Alistair Smith in cm whilst Mellis is injured, and he looks steady,, but it has only been a couple of goals.
I also signed some tripe!
Been playing an attacking 442.
Also worth mentioning, at the beginning of the game, you can attract quite a few decent names on trial, who will all talk terms, but they just don't seem to hit it off, Joe Ledley, Darren Gibson, Jay Emannuel Thomas to name a few.

There is always flaws in the game, I seem to be getting lots of penalties in the game. In my second go at Stags, I got Notts County in the fa cup first round, and there was 19000+ at Meadow Lane on a Friday night. My home attendances have been faorly spot on, averaging 4300 ish.
I'm just playing the touch version at the monent, once I have had a couple of decent goes at this I will progress to the full version which as anyone knows is where the hard work starts!

I was the Stags researcher for a quite a few years so I know how players are rated and whatnot. I can say that each phase of the research you have to keep with a certain average of the current ability which is based on league position at the stages. The next phase usually starts around now ready for the January transfer window. Basically our squad will be lowered so our players will get worse after the January database. Basically the top 16 players at the club by current ability is averaged and that average has to be close to what they decide our average has to be. So a 4th place finish and nearly automatics and 4 players in the team of the year would mean we would have the highest average ever for a football manager game. I don't envy the person who has to lower the stats of all our players to meet the average current ability for a side in 15th.
