New Football Manager 2010 Video's Explaining The Games Editor
The first video explains how to add a new league to the game, for example creating a league for Monaco, whilst the second video focuses on adding new tiers for an existing league, for example adding the Northern Premier League to the English Leagues.
Unfortunately the video of someone following out the commands is very small and i can't do anything about it i'm afraid.
QTE Posts In Video - Youtube
However, i'm now trying it out on youtube. it should be the only type of video on youtube.com/qtegamers and hopefully a new one should be up before the days out.
As ever, comments on this are welcomed just be aware that i don't have the finances to do anything more than this/make it "flashy", but if you have something to say i will read it.
one of the ideas for this site is to make it easy for the reader to keep up to date with news. thats why i use twitter, keep my blog posts short and to the point, and why i do a audio re-cap, which can be found here and on itunes, as well as a written re-cap. with many phones/consoles/pc's able to use Youtube, hopefully its another way for readers to keep in touch with the news.
