Football Manager 2006

[Virdan]

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!

[DABhand]

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

And I do expect some possible flack flying back to me on the above comment!

Eh the American game is nothing like the English or the Australian game, and you guys play with a round ball and can only kick it along the ground with your feet, no handballing etc. The Australian game is more of a spectacle, high flying marks (catches) long distance kicking, hand balling. scores from both teams in all games, no riots etc, and all this with not a round ball but with an odd shaped ball, a bit like the shape of the zeppelin, so it takes major skill just to bounce it let alone kick it straight. Our game is totally different to any other football in the world, it did not evolve from the English (European) football. Yes we do play your style football over here as well but we call that 'soccer'. And just to clarify, I am not talking about rugby or gridion. I'm talking Aussie Rules! Aussie Aussie Aussie oiy oiy oiy.

When will the crack (or mini-image) for this game be released?

So why do you call it football? lol

If most of the game your using your hands, its only after a few steps they kick for some strange reason (perhaps you can only hold the ball after so many steps?)

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

eirebhoy you beauty.

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.

Ill try and make a minidisc for you lads admitly by the time I make it some proffesional group would have made it but... ill try.

[caki]

Doesnt take a group to make a mini image lol. Just a brain with a higher IQ than George Bush, a computer with Alcohol 120%, and a pair of hands.

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.

dude your gettting this so confused with fifa manager.

football manager is the game we all know as cm.

cm 5 is a brand new game with bad ai,and the tendancy to send off 5 of your players in every match.

i lost 23-0 to inter milan with real madrid in cm 5 lol! with 6 men.

[glenbo]

maybe it is your personal prefrence tho mate :P

i know that cm5 got reviews of like 30% and 2/10 in most magazines..

wheras football manager got 10/10 and 90% everywhere,and nominated as the british game of the year,and the highest selling pc game of last year also.

sports interactive the makers of football manager 2005,where the makers of every single championship manager that was ever made exept last years,which was entirely new,and they lost a lot of money (even i took my copy back to teh shop,it was pants!,lol)

btw,the zx spectrum,c64,amiga version of football manager has nothing to do with these games,other than this game has aquired the trademark for the name.

[DABhand]

Not with Fifa Manager no...

Ive seen Fifa Manager running and its just as bad.

But hey, I was giving a warning before you buy it lol
