To be honest, and this is my personal opinion, I have right to say it, SI should stop releasing FM for 1-2 years and create completely new manager from the beginning. New game code, new innovations, new ideas, improved tactic system and of course training. Scouting should be more interesting too.


SI can't do that, Football Manager is their only income stream, so taking a year off to start from scratch is utterly unrealistic.

You know what? Tacitc, training and scouting could be and SHOULD BE something absolutely special in FM. It could be incredibly great fun. But NOPE, it is what it is. If you think it's worth to buy it, THEN GO AND DO IT. Game makers will never have conclusion to make something better. Cuz everybody are buying their game. Even if its Sh**y. I'm mad.

FM is a deadman.


What do you want it to be then? SI are damned if they do, damned if they don't now. They're the only football management game in town, so they have to cater for all sorts of markets that want things that are sometimes contradictory.

At first they attempted to placate the 'It must be super realistic at all times!' crowd, which led to lots of micromanagement in things like training and press conferences. This led to the people who don't have the time or the inclination to deal with that sort of intricate game complaining that it was too fiddly (and also a barrier to new players),which in turn led to FMC.

Basically, it's never going to be perfect, it's attempting to simulate something that even the most brilliant scientists in the world can't do, human behaviour (granted, it's a sub-set of that behaviour, but the point still stands).

Without an add-on, created in the editor by either yourself or someone else, you won't get any league that isn't in the initial list. It's always been that way.

My living now will probably change in the new year, once FCUM open their new ground over in Moston.

MPSM was the easiest game in the world (on the C64, this didn't work on the ST version I played) All you had to do was play 1-8-1 and you'd win pretty much all the time.

Soccer 7 (a game based on a short lived indoor tournament from the late '80's, concocted for TV when English teams were banned from Europe) was also dead easy, if you had the patience, as you traded for players. So all you had to do was keep trading for slightly higher value players each time, and you'd end up with an unbeatable super-team.

37. You obviously didn't spend enough time perusing the £1.99 shelves at your local games emporium. Cult was the budget arm of D&H Games (like Hit Squad for Ocean and Kixx for U.S. Gold) purveyors of many, many football management games

I see your Football Manager 2, and raise you a Multi Player Soccer Manager:

I started with CM4, which I think was about 2003. I was bloody 11 then and I'm 22 now, spent half of my life playing CM/FM!

I pay about £9 all in (unblock-us and $9.99) for the proper version, with the added bonus of being able to play stuff on my XBone (unblock-us appears to work via witchcraft)

You aren't trying to put it in FM15 are you?

The blocks might be down to the rendering type chosen, and what the linux drivers for your graphics card are like, compared to the windows ones

No, the demo uses quickstarts, which are just saved games. And it wouldn't be included with the demo anyway

It won't be until the 7th. I've never bought it, but it's a couple of quid if I remember rightly.

The data editor isn't real time (and you wouldn't be in the database anyway). You might be able to do it with the in-game editor, but that's not free.

Not easily, if it's a few years old and was described as 'HD Ready', then it's probably 720p

Your TV is probably 720p (1280x720) rather than 1080p, which is what 1920x1080 is

Have you put the megapack faces into a subfolder? (i.e. graphics\faces\megapack or something similar)

If so, you could put the extracted folders into a folder that takes precedence over it graphics\faces\default for example)

That way it gets to those first (FM uses the first image it finds) and uses the megapack images for anything else.

Was this skin made by a baby ... it looks and feels horrid .. i really hope there are much better skins ...

it is so out dated .... move with the times .. it couldn't get worse if your tried


Oh joy, it's you again. Given the standard of the skin you released, I'd not be throwing stones in this particular glass house.

Why don't u go mouthrape uself

I suspect those are actual boxes, so I'd need to replace the images with something more transparent. I'd be very surprised if the sidebar would take kindly to being moved to either the top or the bottom of the screen, but it might be possible.

Where is player search then now? I don't mean the search bar i mean the bit where you can filter players, by loan listed, transfer listed etc? Can't find it anywhere.


Scouting?
