What's a good FM game for someone who has never played the series before? FM16 is on quite a large sale on Steam at the moment, but the feedback is somewhat lacklustre.

Just grab the latest one unless you're not sure about whether you'll like the game and buy the most recent megacheap one if there is one. An awful lot of the lackluster feedback is from long standing series veterans who either gripe about there being too many changes or too few. You too will be one of these people in the future but only with FM 2016 instead of CM 99/00. Btw, can you not buy Footbal Manager on Steam in Germany for some reason?

Whew! I finally caught up to this thread. Surprised to see it still going, I saw it pop back up in my bookmarks and thought it was just after-LP activity (late comments, archiving, etc). I even picked up FM16 in the steam sale in large part thanks to this thread. Its proving pretty amazing so far compared to Eastside Hockey Manager, which unsurprisingly, but sadly, is nowhere near as refined. Thanks to the LP I decided to throw caution and common sense to the wind and am starting a game with no reputation or coaching qualifications as a total FM beginner, should be  Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing how this saga ends. I wish the FM series had a games thread instead of just a Dreamsicle posted:The Welsh dream is dead  Wales". Then again, I had also thought that of Iceland v England.

They didn't even win a loving game in the group stage but made it through due to this terrible new format. I was all in favour of expanding the field, but this was shite. They drew 1-1 with an Iceland team that, admittedly, surprised everyone, then they ended 0-0 versus a weak Austria and barely scraped together a draw against Hungary. They were literally the only third-place team that didn't win a single game, despite being in a weak group, and still made it through only due to the idiotic format. Then they barely beat Croatia and Poland and had a huge gift when that horrible ref in the Wales-Belgium game gave Ramsey a yellow card and he missed the semi-final. Watching them has really hurt the Euro for me and if they beat France in the final (probably on a bad call, missed offsides or penalty kicks), it's going to really put me off world football. I enjoy Euro more than the World Cup and I was glad when they added so many spots, but watching a team like Portugal play like poo poo and get a pass because of this miserable format is nauseating.

Hmm, I thought the thread would have been locked by now. Bumping one last time in case Habeas continues or if someone wants to send this to the LParchives. It looks like Leicster is doing bad. I wonder what the thread would have done if Wrexham did the same. Also, FM17 is coming out on November 4 if anyone is interested.

This has been a phenomenal, gripping LP and it's a shame to see it flame out this way. On another subject, I bought FM16 last year on Steam and I have yet to play it.

I'm on the penultimate part of this LP and it's been a blast. Now that someone else bumped the thread I feel like it's an opportunity to congratulate you on an amazing LP, As a brazillian(one that doesn't follow the sport too much) I may be naturally drawn to all things soccer, but I just loved everything about it. Wish I was here earlier to call bullshit on all these Flamengo victories in the Libertadores and the Brasileiro, though. Halser fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Oct 7, 2016 |
