Have got back into Football Manager 2008 to some extent. Spent a large chunk of time customising a Seattle team together based upon the players I can find in the database and tweaking a few statistics. Some players were set in the database without positions, and I gave each of the players a few statistics based upon what the coach says about them

I remember when we tested together (I am sure you will not remember me, but I always found you an endearing chap and so read your LJ from time to time) but I specifically remember being entertained by you messing with the stats in the engine to make the curl on the ball be ridiculous, and spend all day trying to score mental goals with it

My favourite day was the day I found out the engine couldn't handle more than 25 goals being scored in a game. 0-5-5 formations with goalkeepers set to run with the ball.

Or the Xbox bug where I renamed every player in a Polish team, gave them all cartoon characters' names, and about 80% of them got injured with a phantom injury. That was the best bug I found.

I think I was disliked by Joe and wasn't invited back, because I always arrived late (but stayed late to compensate, I'd use three or four machines at once when everyone else left, trying to let the game run to the future, those were always the worst bugs when I played at home) and especially when I fluked a victory over him at Pro Evolution Soccer. I scored an overhead kick from a corner and subsequently spent the rest of the game using Wimbledon tactics.
