DCFCArmy Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Used to play it religiously until about 2013 then I got bored of it, it takes too much time now and spending 6 hours faffing about with tactics as lost all its fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicME85 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I played that loads. Chucked the boxes though as it wasnt needed once you have the cheap sub that was included. Wish that was still around as I enjoyed it more than proper FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yeah I haven't really played FM since FML shut down (despite playing it yearly previously). Once you play against real people playing against the AI seems kinda boring. What Gameworld did you play on? I started off as the head Mod on Clough but then also had stints on other GWs as the months went by. Also had several fun days out at the Sega UK offices, tours of SI towers, meetings with the Devs (followed by evenings in the pub!) Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Cant remember. Had two teams on different GW's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Loved Tracksuit Manager - great game. I played the original 'Football Manager' in the Speccy/C64 days! or , I'm not sure! Played CM/FM since the original CM2, which would have been back in 95/96 time I think? You only had the English and Scottish leagues in them days, you had to buy Italy, Spain, Germany, France and was it Belgium/Scandinavia separately. Used to have audio commentary on games then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up I had a Spectrum ZX, had a manager game on there but can't for the life remember what it was. Now those were the days, spending 20mins loading essentially a playable database but crashing as soon as it got to the main menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer went on to score something like 70 goals over the course of the season. The Italian sides were ridiculously good on that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall breaking into the program back then, giving all of my players a skill rating of 9 (max) and changing the centre forwards name to my own.

maxjam Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 As well as Football Manager we also had Football Director that came out a few years later which now I think about it was probably the game I played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Cant remember the Spectrum game at all. One of my favourite manager games growing up apart from CM2 through CM2 97/98 and Premier Manager 97 on Mega Drive was a game by Software 2000 called Football Limited. Matches had highlights pop up on a jumbotron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I always liked Ultimate Soccer Manager - a rival PC game to CM2 - you could attempt to bribe opponents, and you could edit the injuries database - one player I had ended up being out for 6 months after his c0ck dropped off...

Bridgford Ram Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Another Spectrum game was The Boss or Soccer Boss, that was great. You can get the old Spectrum games on emulators but I've never found a way to save games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Let's be fair, back in the Speccy days it wasn't like it is now - there were hundreds of football games, and a good chunk of those were management sims - On the Bench was another one - you HAD to start in the conference and work your way up - don't think I ever did manage to do very well on that one! Anyhow, picked up FM16 finally - started a Derby game - promoted as Champions at the first attempt - JR weighed in with 32 goals. Lost in the SFs of the League Cup, 4-5 to WBA on aggregate. Beat West Ham in the FA Cup final - 1-1, and then Jake headed in the winner - as if he isn't a big enough hero already.... Forest lost to Ipswich in the playoff SFs Didn't really bother signing anyone - only had £5m and have a good enough squad already. Remi Garde spent all season trying to disrupt Thorne - I told Thorne he wasn't going anywhere, which in the end was best for Thorne anyway as we went up, and Villa got relegated (Garde getting sacked in the process!).
