Football Manager 2006

[DABhand]

I got mine this morning from amazon, and well, i found out why I never bought last years..

The players AI is very very poor. They spend too much time running about back and forward instead of crossing a ball. All too frustrating.. I usually just go for Instant Score lol

Then the severe referees, yellow cards and red cards galore..


And the stupid scorelines, 12-0 I beat Rangers today.. Its all kinda surreal.


Sorry Glenbo, I would keep your money for champ manager which would be a better all round simulator :P

@japajapa: Yes, I agree with you, but who am I to publicly question the competence of forum moderators and administrators?

Its not out til tomorrow... and plus Football Manager is Champ Manager in all but name

[glenbo]

arghhh nooo not championship manager,thats a awful game lol!

footie manager is sweet aslong as you are a football boffin :P

[DABhand]

Let me put it this way, if seen Fifa Manager on a friends pc and this is in the same league, they didnt tune that AI properly.. Not realistic scoring etc.

Its a shame as I was looking forward to it. But with CM you get realism

[Grumpy]

If I can just take this oppotunity to stir the pot a bit, none of the games you guys talk about is real football anyway!!! Australian Rules Football now thats a real football game!!

P.S: And I am not talking PC games here, as I dont play the PC Sports game I cant really comment on the actual games.
And I do expect some possible flack flying back to me on the above comment!

Grumpy Australians are like the Americans, they took our football game and re-arrange it to something else :P

We did invent the game first

I don't know if you know this but FM = CM. CM05 is not the real CM and is a load of crap.

I was looking around for ages to fix my poorly made image that comes up with 'insert the correct cdrom' message. I set it to nt compatibility mode like you said and it works a treat.

cheers.

With CM you get better matches, not lets just score 12 in one game. Not realistic enough with FM.

And remember CM was around since amiga days, which spawned into Premier Manager, which then spawned into Football Manager.

There was a Football Manager before CM, but it was nothing to do with SI.

this is championship manager buddy!

it is made by sports interactive,the makers of every champ manager game other than champ manager 5.

eidos and sports interactive split up,sports interactive got to keep the game and its database,wheras eidos just got to keep the championship manager name.NOT anything to do with teh game whatsoever,that was all trademarked/copywrited by sports interactive years ago.

this is not a ea game,or anything to do with fifa,this is the real deal,the real championship manager that we all know and love :P

championship manager 5,is not anything to do with any of the older championship manager games,other than eidos release the game,and it has the same name as its predecessors.

very confusing lol!

but championship manager 5 was probaly the worst game ever and they probaly wont be making anymore.

FOOTBALL MANAGER 2005 and 2006 is what we all know as championship manager from a few years back.
