Have you tried the free version of cm01/02?

 

it’s really good, has upto date data / squads etc, but with much simpler gameplay

 

Oh no, really… Where would i find that? It has upto date squads and details? Im liking the sounds of this… any editors?

i agree, the simplicity of the original Domark game was excellent, me and my mates spent hours and days with imaginary players, we still talk to this day about how one of us wasted a whole transfer budget on a random norwegian striker call Arild Stavrum!!

 

if you could play the game as is in 2023 with no graphics, just commentary that would be excellent

 

Couldn't agree more, I got such a buzz from picking the team, the squad, the transfers… the layout was like the old BBC Grandstand results table, it was awesome. 

Today's cartoon like  graphics demand so much CPU  resources, even though i'll never use them, I've grown to resent the game because of it. Thank god for the in-game editors to make it more interesting. 

But whether the monthly subs are a money grab, or to pay for the new engine, i'm not interested in it. 30 years of buying the new version of the game, year in, year out - looking doubtful to continue much beyond next year by the sound of it. 

 

The end of an era, which saddens me more than i'd care to admit.

 

This is my opinion folks, and not posted to begin a fight ,or generate abuse. 

 

Ive been playing this game since 1993 when it was a half season demo of Championship Manager. I loved the simplicity of it. 

However, I get all things evolve, and improve. The two things don't necessarily go hand in hand. 

 

The tie in with Netflix is ominous. its a precursor of the things to come. I don't enjoy the mobile version, never have if i'm honest, and truly believe that this hike is to help fund the money spent on the new engine.

 

However, if SI gave up on the idea of in game TV/Matchplay graphics, they wouldn't need a new engine. It's only my opinion, but i feel the graphics are truly shocking, bordering on amateurish… if i wanted  a management game with graphics i'd play either X Box or PS. 

I'd much rather i could disable the TV graphics settings on new game install. not after i've loaded the game.  But, it aint going to happen, so here we are, steps away from a subscription to pay for the full game version if the tie in with Netflix works.

 

If there was another game out there that did what the original CM and early SI games did, without graphics then i'll be off like a shot.  If they introduce a paid subscription for the full game, then i'll stick with the versions I already have.. including the graphics. 

 

 

All sorted guys thanks, one happy teddy.

Merry Christmas

Thats exactly what I mean, I'll give that a go.

Thank you so much guys

Hi there, thank you for your response! The instructions aren't very clear to me. I have followed them but it doesn't seem to be working. I was wondering if you could talk me through it?

Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Hi, please forgive a newbie who may have missed this if it's a;ready been raised....
I've downloaded a raft of SS Kits for the game, and managed successfully to include them in the game - and trust me that surprised me as much as anyone.... but when a match is in progress, and I have the split screen view selected, FM 2015 now shows the Club badge next to the team name not the kit, and for me that's infuriating.
Does anyone have a way of restoring the kit view rather than the club badge??

Many thanks, and have a fabulous day
