- Hey! Ho! Let's go!
- Man City was a proper team back in the day, compared to the silliness of today. #CM9798
- Cafu turns 55 today! 🍰
- Hey ho, let's go!
- Gerrard turns 45 today! 🎂

- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectSo far, this is going quite well. But now it's ocurred to me that being an editor and all, I might be playing a newer version where the Ultra Def formation was changed to make it less efficient - because I remember Thomas adressing that very problem at some point. Is that it, @cm9798.bsky.social?
- Edgar Davids just turned 52! 🥳
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectHow can you make Leeds title contenders season 1? Idea: DOUBLE RAUMDEUTERS I tried about 10 different things, inc the Cov/Don tactic but nothing made us consistent. For some reason this really clicked. We may well lose to Man U, Liv and Ars but already I am impressed.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectSorry for no updates, but tbh this season has been a grind. Our rep still isn't good enough to attract the best Danish players, so I scoop up regens and build for the future. We reverted to this 3-5-2 tactic. Peter Schmeichel is now 39, but still our best player with a 7.65 avg. #cm9798
- Tranmere ✅ #CM9798
- Batigoal turns 56 today! 🍰
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectThere we go -managed to win the league with Sunderland only signing players they had or were linked* with in real life. It felt fun to Google every available player's name to see if #SAFC were ever linked.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectSo, I've started a Brentford save as well. No Danish players yet, but halfway through the first season it seems I've found an efficient tactic for this lot. Of course, signing David Lee from Chelsea also helped stabilize things. But look at this magnificent run and tell me this tactic isn't good.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectDid you know? There's a lot more players in the database than the ones that appear in your save game. The player load will be different depending which playable nations you select. However, there's a trick you can use if you want to force load all players of a specific nationality. 🧵(1/11) #CMtips
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectI got stuck in a loop, tactic after tactic trying to find one that was good with Bristol Rovers, whose squad really isn't good. I got hammered nearly every game.... UNTIL... WTF Absolutely mental results
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectObviously, 3 arrows pushing all the way up is mental. I just tried about 10 variations of arrows with Empoli and this is most impressive (4 league games inc a 1-0 win against Milan)
- Adrian Mutu turns 46 today! 🎂
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectBut could this be the answer... False 9 on Dublin. No arrow on MC.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectBari have a good squad, esp on V2. Plenty of talent mixed with versatility. Legrottiale, Ingesson, Zambrotta, Ventola, Mancini, Doll. And they're a bogey team. So i'm picking the bogey 😂. A thread on how we get on using some dashing tactics..
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectLeague wrapped up... from relegation to top of the pile. Only in #cm9798 ⚽️🏆
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectIn times of great need, we turn to OG #CM9798. Missed out on the quadruple by losing to Boro in the FACQF. Stole the UEFA Cup final from Inter on penalties (haaaaaa!) League was surprisingly serene. @nikolai9798.bsky.social I know you love a lop sided tactic, and this one did the biz.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectWasn't feeling the Antwerp save, so I'll bow out as Champions. Lets go to Portugal, and try to save Belenenses (finished bottom in the 97/98 season). Signings allowed, but only Portuguese speakers (so allows Brazilian getout clause). 🇧🇫🇧🇷 #cm9798
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectLooked up who finished bottom of the Jupiler League in 97/98. Antwerp... really? Ok, should be easy enough to save them in #cm9798...
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectBolton. But with Djorkaeff, Anelka and K Davies already! Let's go!
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectThis guy is so good. He played 9, 7 and 10 in this game.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectFirst post in here. Trying this out. #cm9798
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectSo, the save has dramatically shifted from Millwall and Inter smashing everyone, to Millwall newly promoted to the PL and Barnet who are still in D3... This exciting new tactic is the choice, despite perhaps it favouring top teams? let's go
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 Projectone picture, so many stories #cm9798v2
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 Projectthis guy is my go-to, and look at him this season

- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectI push Goldbaek MR. Oakley and Palmer as two MCs. Basically 4-4-1-1 but the ML is a sweeper. ...

- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectDo you think it's telling me I need a few new defenders??
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 Project[This post could not be retrieved]
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectPizarro is now injured for months with shin splints, and we still don't have a great reputation to attract anyone decent. This guys stats look good....... oh. Must have been playing him as a keeper. Tempted to get him just for a laugh.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectHoly shit! 👀 Is this on of the greatest achievements on the game, ever? The team doesn't look overloaded, miniature stadium with 6k attendance for title decider...I mean...it's Kettering ffs! 😂 You've really raised the bar with this one pal...
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectWe're still in the fight. Our best defender Dunne just got injured for rest of season so a lot depends on us bringing in a quality DC right away.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectPL here we come. I am pretty sure in real life our stadium would not qualify for PL. My fave player this year was Donnelly at DC, who we signed from Cheltenham for a neat 1m. Bankroll up to 94mil now, following more player sales, bringing this season's intake to 57mil.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 Project13 penalties. that's my longest penalty shootout ever. and i lost. but still cool @cm9798.bsky.social
- Jürgen = OUT! #CM0102
- What the heck even is this shit! 🤡🤡🤡 #CM0102
- Skalidis looking silly good at first glance! #CM0102
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectWhen I'm testing a new tactic, as i do frequently, I consider red cards, own goals and injuries received all as negative marks, a way of the CPU punishing something... not as bad 'luck' #cm9798v2
- Anthony Pulis!
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectPlaying centre-mid against Denmark in the early 2000s wasn’t for the faint of heart.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 Project#CM9798 people. Has anyone played with reappointing scouts before? Is there any difference in recs? I wonder if it might be worth doing as your club rep increases, but I've never bothered with it before.
- Roberto Mancini turns 60 today! 🍰
- We are posting a new release before Xmas! #CM9798

- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectIvan Zamorano at Inter. More clinical finishes than Hannibal Lector.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectAnd this brings me up to date. Here are how things stand early in Jan. Can't argue with 5th place 😀. 2nd highest goals scored but conceded a very high 35 goals after 21 games. I recently added a 16 year old SWP to the team as Saints didn't have a left winger at all. This is my best lineup 👇.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectWas trying to think of a special save to kick it off on bsky, and noticed that Kettering Town is available in my Salernitana save (year 2004), having been early promoted to England Div 3 - why not!
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectNot the debut I was hoping for, but at least he didn't do the Real Madrid debut.
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectFound this gem on reddit. Posted by someone called ROSBigT like a year ago. 🤣
- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectSpending Sunday afternoon getting acquainted with the 97-98 Crewe Alexandra squad. 🔍 Having just been promoted from Division 2 through play-offs, Dario Gradi's squad were favorites to go right down again - but ultimately finished top half, in 11th place. Impressive! #crewe #cafc

- Reposted by The #CM9798 V2 ProjectHave you ever wondered why the transfer date we're using for the CM 97-98 v2 mod is March 98 (end of window) rather than July 1997 where the game begins? Which would have made sense, right? Because there's really only one good reason why we chose March 98. Can anyone guess?
