African Megapatch and a few more things...
The African patch I promised you last week is finally availible for download from the downloads centre. Thanks to Curswine, Bostonshire & Sidi Koné for letting me use their great work in the patch.

I've also added some North & Central American shells to the downloads area, again by Curswine, and my English First Division Patch is about 60% complete data-wise - and if anyones made any updates for their clubs I'd be greatful if you could send me them for inclusion.

Developer Diary 4
The 4th developer diary has been posted at the Official Site today. Not much new stuff about tcm 2004. But it seems like the manager shouts in tcm 2004 will be much more advanced than in tcm 2003, you will be able to tell the defender to clear and many more. Now in the player info screen you will be able to see how the player looks inside the 3d engine.

No idea what this is but it seems like we will have maps of countries in the game?
___________________________________________________________
Currently Bernhard has devoted a lot of time towards the development of the maps in the game. They will play a major role in TCM2004. More than a hundred maps of single countries and entire continents are already completed. Gameplay promises to be much more interactive and atmospheric with your awareness of where your team is actually travelling in the European Cup, the European Championship and the World Cup. Developers and players will definitely improve their geographical knowledge throughout the course of playing TCM2004.

New Poll
I seemed to have forgotten about the poll... but anyways after so many months I had finally replaced the poll with a new one.

For our last poll we asked which country you felt had the best players in TCM 2003. Turkey came out 1st with Italy coming close 2nd.

This time we ask what new feature are you most excited about that is coming up in TCM 2004.

TCM 2004 Screenshot
Well, I don't remember seeing this the last time I saw the Developers Diary #3. But when I checked today I noticed too my amazement that there was a TCM 2004 screenshot that shows the new interface or maybe I just missed it last time *embarassed*. But anyways here it is, I like the new interface a lot I think it looks way better than the one in TCM 2003. I like how its darker.

International Competitions Fix
I've added my International Competitions fix to the downloads section - basically it just changes the dates for some fixtures in the world cup and european championships so that the players dont get as fatigued.

Still waiting for permission to make an African megapatch and I will continue working on my English Division one patch soon and then maybe do some more Spanish teams after that is finished.

TCM 2004 Developers Diary 3!
TCM 2004 Developers Diary 3 has been posted at the Official Site. Again it contains lots of new information. The much requested View Stadium feature from FAPLM 2002 (tcm 2002) is back. And the database editor has been updated with the new player rating system + editing languages of players. There is also new fans features for example when you first enter a team as a new manager comprehensive information about what the fans feel about the current situation of the club will be given. Now you will also be able to select kits before the start of a match so you can chose Home or Away. Transfer Fees and Salaries have been made more realistic. Plus many more so check out http://www.totalclubmanager.com/index.php?class=4&i=69 for more information. Sounds very cool :).

Sorry
I'd like to apologize for not actually adding any downloads over the last week or so - I've got GCSE's this week and havent really had that much of a chance to, but I will be able to put some more up next week and I'll try to do some on the weekend too.

Also if you findy any links that dont work I'd appreciate it if you told me about them so that they can be fixed ASAP.

Once again - sorry for the lack of download that have been added recently!
