Getting bit bored of FM - waiting for Patch 3 in a couple of weeks, then will resume playing no doubt.

I've not palyed it much but I found out tonight that I can run it in windowed mode with Winamp, Mozilla and mIRC open without any slow down whatsoever. My P4 used to struggle with opening Winamp, let alone playing some choons.
I imagine this will lead to me becoming obsessed again.

Kinky Tom,

For me the last CM was the best. I'm still playing it at work in my lunchbreaks. FM i'm having trouble getting into it. Just doesn't seem to be as exciting as CM. The fact that all the menues are hidden etc is a pain as you can sit there for ages just trying to look for players. Still not a winner in my eyes :| |

01/02 was my favourite CM, but I don't think I could ever play it again after my 45 season long marathon which ended not long before Xmas. FM is just as good if not better, in my opinion, with CM95/96 and CM92/93 making up my top four.

In my opinion FM is the best footy management game ever.
Once you get used to the new menu system it works better than the old CM one and the feeling of realism that was absent from the last few versions of CM is back.
Anyone know when the Eidos Championship Manager is out?

basically there tends to be a set of tactics for each game that win all the time. The best bit is developing these tactics and finding the players to suit the tactics (it's no use playing Fallon as a pacey striker that runs onto throughballs). can't really comment on FM as i'm still waiting for it!

Howard, Evans & Parkin are the best STFC players in my opinion, give them long term contracts with high release clauses (if they want them) as soon as possible. Migz, Dukey, Fallon & Heywood are pretty good too. Sell Hewlett, Smith, O'hanlon & possibly Igoe Sign a right winger, Igoe is shite on the wing. I went for Stuart Green from Hull for £30k - he did pretty well. sign Lee Briscoe & david perpetuini on free transfers play 4-4-2 |
