loughboroughRAM Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Couldn't find a thread specifically for this (please re-direct me if there is) but what are your personal favourite/memorable achievements on the game, especially with Derby? For me my personal favourite was Will Hughes becoming DCFC's all time leading appearance maker at the same time as being England captain on one of my saves.

RiddingsRam Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Is this on the back of the release of the new game released on 13 th November ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loughboroughRAM Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 no it was on the back of young (or in my version of the game 'old') William becoming Derby's record appearance maker and I was interested to see what other interesting achievements forum users had completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 My highlight was taking Stockport County to the premier league via a play off final win against Man City with a 39 year old Peter Beardsley as my captain... Obviously this was a long time ago..I was playing it on my Amiga. always makes me smile when I read things about the fact that Stockport have dropped down more leagues than anyone else ever....they should have taken a chance on me and Beardsley..!

GeneralRam Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 My memorable achievement with Derby is getting a regen Mexican called Vazquez. This guy was brilliant and got me 30 goals a season since he was 18. Got to 31 and he was dropping off a bit so I accepted a £35million offer from Man City and sold him. After a year of him doing nothing for City and being on the bench the majority of the time, I bought him back for £3 million. He wasn't 1st choice after that, but it was great to have him back.

MuespachRam Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I had a guy from South America last season called Formica who tore up the league for the Rams, even kept Asombolonga out of the starting 11..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I spent an enormous amount of time on CM, particularly during my student years. For the life of me I can't actually remember doing anything with Derby! I got them into the top flight many times, but then I'd go all Billy Bigbollux and take over Man Utd or Real Madrid. I can remember playing as Milan and blowing my entire transfer budget on Shearer. Worked though, he got 90-odd goals in his first season. Also remember doing cartwheels when I managed to sign George Weah at Everton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 My highlight with Derby was definitely new stadium which was named after me! Had quite a success for years before it happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Football Manager on the Acorn Electron in the mid 80's: 12 teams per divison, 22 game season. No match graphics (the Electron only had 32k memory!) I remember being a bit pissed off after quite a few seasons when little clubs like Bournemouth started getting into the top division. So unrealistic!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I Started it in the 98/99 seasons on the PC. Played them all until 05/06 not brought one since. Me and my mates used to spend all day on them.. The amount of time's we'd leave it auto playing over night is silly.. Looking back I didn't see the point of us doing it lol.

Gypsy Ram Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Not on topic buy has anyone tried the Beta version of 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don't you have to pre order at £35 to gain access to the Beta? if I don't get that 6 months game time to draw me in I'm not paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm currently in 2022/2023 season on FM15, after taking Eastleigh from Vanarama Conference to the Premier League in about 5 years, I resigned, now boss of Huddersfield Town and top of the Prem, no changes to the database or any cheats. The one thing that annoys me is the lack of ability to migrate games to new versions. For that reason, I tend to get every other year, so the last one I bought was 2013. Plus there's more difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys on OTF2 have been playing it a fair bit and its more of the same. FM15 was a pretty solid game and it carries on from there, previously the ME changed a lot between versions and it felt very different but not this time apparently. Big issue with injuries at the moment, should be fixed in day one patch but that happens every year :D 1 hour ago, AnimalisaRam said: The one thing that annoys me is the lack of ability to migrate games to new versions.

Back in the old CM3 days with the yearly updates (99/00, 00/01, 01/02) you used to be able to move the saves, that seemed to stop with Football Manager.

Day Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thing is with me, I see the price, £27, £35 whatever and I think, it's just pretty much the same game, few new "features", edited squads and updated interview preset answers....it doesn't make me want to go out and buy. Give me a free demo, reach Christmas, 2 points off the top of the league, January transfer window opens, I've had a few beers, game locked. Purchase now to unlock the full game, here take my credit card details, let me play on! I'll complete the season, play on for another couple until the gen players start taking over. I'm bored. Never play again. Soon as it loses the players I recognise, that's it for me, managing Derby or Celtic that's it, Celtic get's boring even quicker so the game as limited playability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Last year was the first year since the original CM2 that I haven't picked it up. Will miss again this year as well. Don't have the time, and, as per @Daveo says, once you get bored with it, that's it, wiped from the HDD never to return. Plus it used to p1ss me off every year, having to source and then replace the Premier League kits/logos etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The number of bugs present at release these days (even after their beta period) are generally pretty shocking. It's normally best to just wait until the game is actually finished around March. Looking at how little they've done for this version (they've basically added Frankenstein's monster manager editor and made the tactics screen tablet friendly, as well as a bunch of little gimmicky things), it will take something really impressive for me to bother buying it this year.

RicME85 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It amazes me how they break the game so much between final patch in Feb/March and new game release in November. Doesn't help that the attitude in the studio at SI is awful, have beta tested and know of lots of people who have reported numerous bugs that have been laughed off and ignored. Then you have fanboys on the SI forums rimming the dev team and again rejecting any claims of bugs that are game breaking. Whoever signed off on the manager creator needs taking out back and shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
