Whilst everyone waits with baited breath for the full release of FM15 in an hours time now, lets take a stroll down memory lane, what was the first CM/FM game you played?

My first was CM2 which I brought from a car bootsale back in 1996;

I dread to think how many hours of my life this series has taken up in the last 18/19 years. Many of the members of this board, even some of the top footballers around now won't have been born when I first installed this bad boy on my old Acorn brand PC running MSDOS on Windows 95.

Yep bought this when it first came out and then I was hooked.

I seem to ask this each year but has anyone come up with an instant result button skin for FM15 yet?

It would be very appreciated.

I wish someone would try to create a good tactic with a side expected to finish bottom.

There are way too many pointless threads using big teams with which ANY tactic will bring success,

SI Forums are utter garbage with regards to tactics. Again it's "look at me aren't I good with Barcelona" etc.

Sadly I think how well or badly you Reserves/Youth team do are irrelevant.

I would however have liked to be able to create my own squads (like FML allowed) and decide which squad played in which competition.

Pay for an editor as well???

Hasn't the industry realised yet why piracy exists???

You keep on trying to drain people out of every penny they have at times when financially it's tough and you're just inviting more piracy.

For me it's still just a data update.

I'll stick with FM13 (unless someone buys it me as a gift)

Isn't that THE BIGGEST con in the game? Attributes being irrelevant?

The simple answer to your question is no. If an AI manager has 20's everywhere shouldn't he be dominating?

If you alter him to have all 20s using FMRTE then change his CA to 2,000 instead of 200 then his abilities will hold at 20. Now here's the interesting bit...

In a full detail League he will be just as useless as all the other managers but will dominate in a Division that you are NOT in that has "minimum detail" level. So clearly in a "minimum detail" level game his "current ability" becomes ultimately important and the biggest overriding factor.

Oh dear! Does my opinion differ from yours?

There's nothing good enough this time around to warrant paying money for what is essentially a data update.

Looks to me like the worst update ever!!!

Micromanagement galore! Have chats with upset players?

Is this "Jeremy Kyle" manager now???

There is absolutely NOTHING included in FM14 that would make me want to part with my money. Sadly for the first time ever I'm going to give it a miss.

You can only really buy players over 48 months. Unless you get promotion the debt becomes a serious problem. The board won't release any money to spend until after the January window in the 1st Premier season.

There are however, lots of decent loans to be had in the second season.

I won't buy another FM. It's very samey and once you've become successful and can repeat it, it's very boring.

Another problem is the people at SI don't seem to listen. If you try to point out their game is not working how it should you get slated. If you point out the guru's of the tactics and training forum are over complicating the game with unnecessary stuff to look good the mods don't like it despite the fact you can prove it. They make money and that's an end of it.

So sadly I will not be giving SI any more of my hard earned money. Shame it's ended like this for me but everything ends.
