SSD Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Soccer Manager is really pants imo. The top teams can buy whoever they want and turn it into a fantasy league. They keep about 50 players in the squad and if you want to buy a player from another user they ask stupid amounts of money. It doesn't take into account wages at all so somehow Villa can afford to buy 5 world class players and stay afloat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Never bought a footy management game since CM01/02, but I can feel a purchase coming on today. You may be disappointed, compared to that classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You may be disappointed, compared to that classic! Yes, I know. I have no Windows machines any more, so no backwards compatibility to any of my old games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 That said. In classic mode on FM 13 I have reached season 2021/2022. Won the champions league 5 years running... Getting a bit tedious. Mason Bennett is the only survivor. Best signing so far has been Yaya Banana, average rating over the last 6 seasons is 7.8.

BondJovi Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Try regular mode then. I am blessed with a slow laptop. Regular mode is too much faffing, more of a casual manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yes, I know. I have no Windows machines any more, so no backwards compatibility to any of my old games. Championship Manager 2008 is on Steam for £1.12 if you're looking for a more recent but still old school manager game, I picked it up just to try a CM game (always heard about them and never tried one) and given it's 2008 I thought trying to keep Derby in the Prem would offer a reason to keep playing.

BondJovi Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 is classic easier than regular? I am just a genius... Joking aside. I suspect it is much easier, it has to be really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Wolf Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Started a new Derby game after the other one wouldn't load up but I have up to level 11 of England on it. Signed a 16 year old from a level 11 team and he has 5* potential only cost me 5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 This latest one is the first one I haven't bought since the late 90's! Recent ones have become less enjoyable. Probably because I'm getting too old for them now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I had an FM12 game where I got Blyth Spartans to Premier League Champions. Beat florist 9-0 at the city ground in League 1 on my way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Wolf Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 just realized that the Derby academy on FM has a player or two missing and Bola is on there. didn't he leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not only Derby is biggest and richest club in world, J. Terry, B. Davies and R.Keane have hatred towards me. Couldn't play any better... Just took control of France, first international job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 As a matter of principle, whenever I start a game on any FM my first order of business is to load up the editor and wipe out Forest's squad, while also putting them massively into debt. No matter how well I do there on out, I can always amuse myself by seeing Forest drop out of the league structure into the pub leagues where they belong.

Mostyn6 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 unbelievable. I'm about 3 seasons in. Having got promoted, then finished 5th in Prem, then 4th in Prem, but on Tuesday, I was coming to the end of the third season, and my inbox was "In a display of incredible generosity, the Derby board have decided to award you a sum in the region of £500m to spend on players and a new stadium. Please confirm your acceptance". Here's me thinking "oh GSE you beauties, I knew you would come good!", Only when I clicked to accept, I got an April Fools pop-up! It was April 1st on the game, AND April 1st in the real world! Grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC_17 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 wow just been playing a bit of football manager and forest are 3rd in the prem and billy davies has moved to arsenal, hardly a realistic football simulator. (i'm 2nd with derby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Billy Davies always does well with Forest on FM. It's horrible to watch. Especially since he doesn't do anything with their squad. He finished 4th with them with the same average ***** they have in real life. I must be really shit at FM or something anyway, can't get out of the bottom 5 in the Prem. Can't attract any good players. Stuck with an average squad going nowhere. Mason Bennett and Hendrick haven't developed into anything any good and Will Hughes wants to leave every two minutes.
