So, I finally got around to it! The first ever GRCade FM Challenge. To put it succinctly, this is a points-based challenge in which anyone is eligible to enter, if they've got a copy of FM12. The aim is to have the best season from a particular save file in comparison to other plays. So what's the challenge?
Bottom At Christmas.So. It's Christmas Day and the present under your tree is...
Rocked to the bottom of the table, you take over with just one day until the traditional boxing day clash- and 21 remaining fixtures until the end of the season to try and survive- as we all know, only one team has ever been bottom at Christmas and survived. Morale is down, fans are restless and time is short- can you survive the drop?
RulesYou must use the save provided.
You cannot add leagues to the game.
No save-game or real-time editing of the save.
Your save must end on the 31st of May.
Once you have posted screenshots for an attempt, you may not make another.
