#667971 "Touch" version no longer part of FM
Antonin1957
I used to enjoy FM 2014 “Classic” until the “can't get fired” option was disabled in Steam. Then I used to play the FM “Touch” version of FM2020.
Now I see that the new version, FM22, no longer has a “Touch” or “Classic” version, which means that it's the end of the line for me and SI soccer games. Is anybody else bothered by the end of the cut down “Touch” version? For me the game became too bloated long, long ago. Without a simpler version there is no reason for me to spend any money on FM.
I wish some company somewhere would put out a soccer game with realistic finances and realistic gameplay (the gameplay in FM was never realistic, even back when it was called Championship Manager).
#515981 FM 2014 - 'No sacking' and other options purchased on Steam
Antonin1957
Are the unlockables on Steam, such as the 'No sacking' option for FMC 14, no longer available on Steam?
I bought a new computer and wanted to move my FM14/FMC to it. This would include the unlockables that I bought on Steam, such as "No sacking," "All players interested in your team," etc. But those items no longer appear in my library. They still work in my current save, but when I create a new game (still on my old computer), I get an error message with I click "Downloads" and then the Steam store.
Steam support had no answer. They referred me to FM support on Steam, and FM support have not responded to other people who have had the same question as me.
Does anyone here know if Those unlockables are no longer available even if we have already paid for them? I like FMC 14, in some ways more than FMT 20. I would like to continue playing it on my new computer. Has it been officially abandoned by SI?

Well, it figures that a 2015 update by Microsoft disabled a driver I need to run FM 2005. I last played it probably in late 2014 or early 2015. It just figures. I really hate Microsoft. I'm not going to even try to enable/disable the driver, because I'm not a computer expert and would probably cause problems somewhere else.
As much as I love the real life game of football, trying to play a computer football management game that gets more difficult with each version is extremely frustrating. Going back and playing favorite teams on versions of the game that were slightly easier is impossible. SI is never going to produce a database, even a limited one, so that you can play at least a few historical teams, and if you go to their forum and ask why not, the moderators will insist that it's impossible and if you continue to discuss it they will close the thread.
Hey, wouldn't it be fun to play that old Barcelona team with Messi and Ronaldinho and Eto'o? Wouldn't it be great to resurrect the "Busby Babes" and make them live again? Or manage the New York Cosmos back in the Pele days? I don't understand why any football lover *wouldn't* want to do these things.
I am able to play WSM2008, but that was the version that was so mind-numbingly detailed and tactically incomprehensible that I just walked away from FM for several years.
Well, thank you again for spending your time trying to help a frustrated 60 year old FM player try to live out his football management fantasies on the computer. I will buy you a beer if we ever meet.

This is why I always delay as long as possible "upgrading" to a new version of Windows.

Anyway thank you very much for trying to help me.
I have been playing this game since the CM 01/02 version, and have always found it to be a very frustrating game. It has a great deal of potential, but it's so difficult to be even slightly successful and you encounter too much ridicule on the SI forum trying to get help to figure things out or to propose changes that would increase the fun. I guess I have kept playing it off and on over the years because I love soccer and I *want* to try to have fun with this game. Every time I take over a team I begin to imagine the glories I've seen with real-life teams I've admired over the years.

I was able to install and play Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008, but that was the version that caused me to give up on the FM games for a long time. It had so much detail and was so much more difficult that earlier versions it only made me frustrated. It was not fun at all.
I currently play the FM2014 version of FM Classic, but I wanted to go back to FM2005 and take over that great Barcelona side...

When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. I have tried to run the program as "administrator," and I've changed the compatibility from Win XP to Win 7, but still nothing. I've installed FM 2005 because that seemed like an easier game than more recent versions. Plus, playing older versions is the only way to play "historical" teams.
I have tried to install FM 2006, but it won't even install on my machine.

Is there a smaller version of the megapack that only has the latest version of the MLS logos?

Thank you very much! I have FM 14 and I have been playing a FMC career as Columbus Crew. I hated their old logo but absolutely love the new one. Having the new logo will definitely increase my enjoyment of the game!
