The OPTIONS Menu.
-----------------
Most boxes under this menu are
of the toggable type: ie they merely
switch certain conditions on or off.
Default settings will be saved
to disk automatically.
The NEWS option allows you to determine
the amount of mid-week activity.
Between eight and twenty four events
including possible transfers will take
place depending on the setting. \
SPEED
The speed of match action is either
slow, in which case each ball contest
takes about two seconds, or normal,
which lasts half a second, or fast
which lasts 1/50th of a second.
The effective duration of the action
depends not only on this setting but
on how many illustrations appear during
the match. Offside flags, penalties,
etc.. take a while to be displayed and
slow things down a bit.
You will find that intervening with
the mouse during a match set to fast is
not that easy. Press - on the keypad
(repeatedly if necessary) to slow
things down, then click on the logos. \
HIGHLIGHTS is another variable
affecting the way a reported match
will look.
The default mode is HIGHLIGHTS which
will report all major events: goals,
shots, fouls, corners, penalties,
injuries and tactics changes.
When set to FULL COMMENTARY, the
players names will be reported all the
time. Home players will be on the left
Away players on the right. The player
actually controlling the ball is shown
in blue.
The other setting is GOALS ONLY which
will only report the goals scored, who
scored them and when. \
TRANSFERS amongst computer teams may
either be automatic or off.
You should remember that if automatic
transfers are allowed, a great deal of
player movement will take place,
particularly if you have chosen the
full weekly NEWS option.
To reduce excessive player migration,
you may either select BRIEF week events
or turn TRANSFERS off periodically.
Teams managed by user players will not
embark on automatic transfers unless
you allow your squad to be unduly
depleted.
This covers all the options under
the OPTIONS menu. ]
