Q.
I'm playing on a laptop/small screen and can't see the ball in 2d Match.
Is there any way to help me apart from going to Specsavers?

A.
There certainly is. Go to your Game\Data folder and edit a file called init.cfg with Notepad. To do this right click and choose Open With, then select Notepad. Then you need to type in "BIG_BALL" in the text file and save it as init.cfg

Q.
Where's Print Screen/Screenshot option gone?

A. i don't know. They should have left it in, I loved saving my squad and stats to text files. Silly SI. But you can take screenshots by using the
Print Screen button on the keyboard to save to the clipboard. Then paste your screenshot into a image editor/paint program and save.

Where's the bloody editor? I want to buy me!

Unfortunately there is no official editor for the game out yet. But this helpful site, made by a GameFAQs board member will give you links to some unofficial ones: http://www.cm4ever.tripod.com

Q.
I just scored, but it didn't count because I subbed the player. Why?

A. (thanks to SI Games)
SI Games still haven't been able to fix this bug (maybe in EP4), so here's what to do to make sure it doesn't happen. But it does slow down your 2d matches.

Right click on your cm4.exe icon and check the file path to it, and then change it from (this is the default path) "c:/Eidos/Cm4/cm4.exe" to "c:/Eidos/Cm4/cm4.exe -safe_match"

Question 1
==========
Search Field: ix-a

Q.
I'm having problems putting the ball in the onion bag, what do I do?

A.
If you are not getting many chances, you need to improve your midfield and/or wing players. Look for players with high creativity and passing to help you out.
If you can create chances, but can't put them away, then you need better forwards. Get some strikers with good finishing and heading.

Question 2
==========
Search Field: ix-b

Q.
Every game I seem to concede large amounts of goals. Why?

A.
If every shot seems to go in, you have a bad goalkeeper. Try to find one that has all-round goalkeeper ability. Not just high handling.
If you're always defending, you have a poor midfield. That's right, it's not a bad defence, it just means your midfield keep losing the ball. Get some better midfielders or change to a long-ball tactic.
Also, your defence are causing the problem if every time the ball is in your half it results in a shot. Get some better defenders with good tackling and anticipation.

Question 3
==========
Search Field: ix-c

Q.
Who do I choose as captain?

A.
You need a player who has both high Influence and Determination. Roy Keane is a great example of this, and after all, he is Man Utd's captain. You may find that age also helps, as a young player with these stats may not be able to control your team as well as a more experienced player.

Question 4
==========
Search Field: ix-d
