Anyone play Football Manager 2005 ?

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Sun Jun 05, 2005 2:03 pm

Just seeing if anyone is interested in playing an online season with me ?

Me and Jae did it with Championship Manager 2001/2002 and it was quite fun.

I'm planning on buying FM soon, seeing asthough I've got a new good computer so I'll definitely be in. As long as you host, my 32k connection couldn't take it :lol:

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Sun Jun 05, 2005 3:47 pm

When you looking to buy it Jae ?

And what do you mean 32K connection lol

by **J@3** on Sun Jun 05, 2005 4:35 pm

Probably Thursday or so, the computer's fucking up so we've gotta sort that out first. By 32k, that's what my internet connection is for some reason... we're getting ADSL2+ soon though so it won't matter.

Ah ok, well post back here if you get the game. And we'll organise to play a little hey

I've got a guy from the NBA Live online league im in (Aussie Live Online), and he is very keen to play. He's online a lot so theres no need to worry about how much gameplay we can get done, if you get the game sometime this week then I'll wait for you Jae.

Otherwise :arrow:

what is Football Manager?

i've heard of Total Club Manager 2005

are they the same type? e.g, managing soccer.

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Sun Jun 05, 2005 11:59 pm

Yeah but FM 2005 is a lot more complicated and tactical...

by **sibo** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 5:09 am

I also play FM, unfortunatly I don't have time to play with you. It's a great game though.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 7:29 am

I've been playing it for about a week now, and I think it's great.
Does anyone know why the CM series got sold?

Anyways, I'm maybe up for a online season. Not sure, but I think so... (y)

Does anyone know why the CM series got sold?

Eidos( the publisher ), and Sports Interactive (the developer) had disagreements... So SI took the copyrighted gamecode, found a new publisher (SEGA), and made the new CM under a new title. Since the title 'Championship Manager' is copyrighted by Eidos... In retaliation, Eidos found a new developing team for their own management game, with a whole new code and the very familiar title "CM 5". Welcome to the world of commerce and copyright laws... :lol:

I love FM. I can play for hours. I would like to play online with you guys but I don´t have the time.

by **J@3** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 11:37 am

I still maintain Championship Manager 01/02 is the greatest game ever made.

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:47 pm

Jae still getting the game on Thursday ?

Championship Manager 2 (96-97 Update) is the best manager game to date. You could play that hours and hours and still not get bored... Classic.

I'm getting the computer fixed tomorrow, I've gotta buy my mum something for her birthday but I've got a shit load of games to trade in so if EB have FM I'm about 85% that I'll get it.

by **The X** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:56 pm

I'll probably avoid the game as it would no doubt take over my soul and nothing else would matter :lol:

Yes, indeed... time just gets consumed while playing CM/FM.... I must have missed out on a whole year of my life 3 or 4 years back with CM 01/02... (N)

by **Strike Freedom** on Tue Jun 07, 2005 8:03 pm

with the God trainer.. i raised my players too max.. which is 127 for each skill. :mrgreen:

I even put my GK up front as strikers and they scored like 11-12 goals per match.
lol.

by **sibo** on Thu Jun 09, 2005 3:48 am

yeah, CM 10/02 is the best game ever, I'm playing it right now. Do you guys play the same game all the time, or do you start new every pther day? I like to play the same game, I'm currently on season 2018/19 with Man U. I've played that same game for 1day and 12hours.

by **alexboom** on Thu Jun 09, 2005 5:15 am

CM 01/02 forever :cool:

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Thu Jun 09, 2005 10:24 am

Your in 2018/2019 and have only played 36 hours! how fast do you play, I remember in the games I played I was in like season 06/07 and I had like 3 or 4 days played lol

by **J@3** on Thu Jun 09, 2005 10:53 am

Urgh... my computer won't be fixed until either the weekend or next week, so even if I do buy the game today I won't be able to play it.

by **sibo** on Thu Jun 09, 2005 11:35 pm

Well, i play the matches on maximum speed, only one foreground league and 2-3 background leagues. I don't understand how you can play the game that slow :wink:
