ramsbottom Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm gonna pick it up at the weekend so I can have a play around with the team creator. Going to recreate the legendary Mickleover Village 96/97 team. Gonna have to give myself 15 for passing at the very least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 When i was manager of Stockport County on the verge of the Premier league I couldn't bring myself to play the play off final... I won the semi and had about a month without looking at it before playing it.... I cleared a full weekend so i could prepare everything on the Saturday and play it on the Sunday.....such a great day... 1-0 Peter Beardsley with a captain fantastic role and a goal early on in the first half, we ended up hanging on at the end, but we did it and I opened a couple of cans of Skol as a reward to myself.! I haven't purchased the new one for a few seasons actually, i am thinking of getting this one, maybe leave it until the majority of bugs are fixed though.

Reload the save file. Everyone does it, before any cup final, league decider, relegation decider. Anyone that denies it is a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I remember in CM2 drawing Chester at Goodison in the FA Cup when I was Everton. They beat me three times in a row, the first a 3-0 humping. After the third time the disc got frisbee'd against the wall and I had to buy another copy. Ironically, when I played them again I won comfortably..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 had a half day today so nipped to Game this morning and picked it up. So far - Sold Shotton to Burnley for £500k as I needed free up some wages. Also about to make Bucko available (i know, but he's never been that good on the game...). Signed a Brondby reserve who looks to be a 21yo Baird as he can play anywhere in def or mid. This is to cover for Hughes/Bryson/Butterfield/Johnson who're all injured. Also had to promote Tom Koblenz but he looks as though he can do a job for a couple of months. Set up as our standard 4-3-3 with all the usual suspects and so far pre-season has gone well, beat Walsall 3-0, Crawley 4-0 and Parma a very convincing 3-0 (they only had 2 shots the hole 90 mins). The only blot on the copy book was a 1-1 draw with Mansfield but i was experimenting with a 3-4-1-2 as a plan b. The game itself is very similar to last years but everything is a lot easier to navigate, especially player's stats and the tactics which are a lot simpler to use this time around. Just hacked off i had to leave it come to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Brighton 5-1 at home to move to 40 points. Sat in 3rd, 8 points from QPR who're top, 6 from 2nd Brighton who're 2nd. Fo**st are a lot better on my save, their currently 7th having suffered a loss of form since we beat them 1-0 at the Council Ground... Ince & Martin top scorers with 10 a piece.

RicME85 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 At the same point as we are in reality I was 1 point better off. ...and yeah plenty of time, don't work due to my health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What are peoples favourite versions of CM and FM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Downloaded the demo. 1) Pride Park? it's the iPro Stadium 2) Joe McClaren left in the summer 3) No transfer funds really? 4) Weimann right winger and can't play in the hole? 5) Russell a striker, not a winger? Can't see me buying, not because of the above but 'kin ell theres so many screens and options I can see it being an arse to play on the MacBook, sat here with a mouse on the desktop but that's being banished into the spare room that's being turned into an office. Not sitting up there all night playing this. I would love for a classic Championship Manager 98 interface and game with updated squads. I've got no time for all these prozone stats, boring interviews and controlling every single aspect of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 1) Is B4 the researcher? 2-5) Researcher has done a piss poor job, Im sure they have signed up to do the role so they get a free copy and their name in the game, not sure if they have actually watched a Derby match. Always hated playing FM/CM on a laptop, something about a trackpad and the game makes it such a slog. I too hate all the micro management stuff, at the start of every game I go through and assign staff to take care of everything except transfers, squad selection and team talks. After a while I usually go over to the other mode they introduced a few years ago as Classic and changed this year to tie in with the super duper high end tablet version, Touch. Why not go for CM01/02 with the data update from champman0102.co.uk? CM01/02 is a free download, Eidos gave it away years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
