Dimmu Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Not sure what was the name of the game I played with Commodore 64, (maybe Soccer Manager?), but surely those white Derby shirts looked good in my black'n white telly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 started having a go at football manager touch, and i'm liking the much simpler approach so far very streamlined and quicker to progress. one thing i'm trying to find though is if its possible to view your squads team cohesion? in the full version you can ask your assistance from team talk feedback, but since there isn't any team talks in the touch version is it possible to view this. i know youve got the squad harmony but i feel thats more an indicator of squad morale and happiness rather than their understanding of their teammates. is it also possilble to see how familiar your team is with the tactics?

StaffsRam Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Towards the end of the second season - left Derby to take the Chelsea job. Derby finished ninth, Chelsea second. It was an amicable separation.....until I took Hughes with me. £26m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope that has all been stripped out. Its a far superior version of the game as the full fat version is a chore with a lot of the additions over the last 10 years and most of them break the game each year. This is why I was so pissed at the data being wrong in the latest update as you cant have custom DB's to fix errors in FMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to find that when in a match if you go to the info tab and your assistant managers feedback he'll say a few things such as some players not blending in and some players being used to playing at a lower tempo or not closing down as much and I'm using this to gauge my team cohesion and tactics familiarity. only disappointment so far is I can't fine my players for poor performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played FM more like a political grand strategy with a football twist than a management game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 FM Touch looks interesting (for me, who hasn't played a FM game in the last 10 years). As the games got so big & so many features added, I git turned off, as it took so long to complete a season, with all the off field guff to go through between every match. I'm not looking for a return to my old FM days of being able to do a season in 45 minutes but realistically how many hours should it take for a FM Touch season?. I realise you could make it last as long as you want to but would like an idea before shelling out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 @Wolfie I have a 66% off with Humble Bundle if you want it? Would cost £11.89, if you transfer that via PayPal I can purchase it and send you the game code As for how long a season takes in Touch....its easy enough to blast through a season in a day depending on how much time you put in to it.

It was Russell and Martin getting the goals but Will had a decent avg rating. He's in the U21 squad at the moment at Chelsea. Bought a number of hot prospects and plonked them in their U21 side. Will's Captain - next summer I'll sell off a load of the oldies in the first team and bring them all through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that was Football Manager - players could get skill levels up to 5 I think, then at the start of the following season you could be down to skill level 1 or 2. A few defeats and your players were at morale 1 or 2. Video 'highlights' involved 3 stick fgures on each side, just goalmouth incidents, and goals produced a burst of white noise. That game wasn't the biggest disappointment though - that accolade went to Peter Shilton's Handball Maradona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It does sound like the original Football Manager - it was available on every platform at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
