Are you playing as Ipswich and playing 4-4-2 with no players in their actual positions due to injuries?
How is FM now? Mentally complicated?
Don't think I've played since the 2005 version maybe. It became incredibly slow in comparison to the older versions.

I stopped on Fm08 properly, had every version from the incredibly simple and fun CM97/98 all the way through.
Not sure why I skipped 09, then got 10.... dear god that was absolutely awful. Extended media conferences etc, very very slow.
I was Notts County ( they had the $$$ ) and thought it'd be fun getting them up the leagues. Upon getting them to the championship within two seasons ( look at me rar rar rar ) I noticed I'd spent 47 hour on the save...despite trying to go through it very quickly.
Utter rubbish. FM08 was unreal, maybe 6-9 hours a season, a lotta fun and easy to play.
Not played it since..... have they simplified it and made it more user friendly or has it gone down the toilet totally? |  | | |

I had pretty much every incarnation from the very first which I played on an Atari ST until a few years ago when I found the same thing. However I did pick up a copy in the last two or three years and I think they do a streamlined game now which is a lot quicker, though still nothing like the old ones for speed.
CM 01 (I believe it is) is available to download for free these days and there is an active community who keeps it up to date with current squads and transfers if you fancy some old school management. |  |

It did get very slow, I actually bought the mobile version for this reason
I believe they may have even integrated a 'quick mode' into later versions? |  |

Thanks Dan - that looks great.

Sven must be the young lad who pushed his Dad into the swimming pool at the Holiday Inn nr Suffolk One a few year back.
Amir was standing poolside sans budgie smugglers when young Sven crept up behind him and gave him a push. Amir was far from impressed with young Sven. The pool area was quite busy at the time. |  |

He wasn't wearing any swimming costume?
Crikey.

I did something similar.. FM08 may as well have been what the put on my degree certificate from Uni, 3 years of pretty much solid play and as you say, the perfect level of detail to prattle through a season if necessary or deliberate & take longer if you wanted.
I bought FM10 or 11 (can't remember) after I graduated & coupled with not having so much time and taking 2 or 3 hours to get through a couple of matches (probably not helped by my laptop dying a slow death) it felt absolutely awful and more of a chore than anything so sacked it off and never played it since.
I have been tempted to restart a game on FM08 a number of times but know how dangerous it would be given the halcyon days at Uni when half a dozen of us would be sat around sharing a couple plug sockets and while away the day missing lectures and realising we'd spent 16 hours on a single session |  | | |

I've been trying to get back into it for the last year...yet to complete one season with a club although I'm a few months into a save with FK Senja in the Norwegian lower leagues...only one team gets promotion which will make it tough.
Half my battle has been getting my head around everything in the game...the staffing, scouting, training, tactics, player roles etc etc. It's incredible the depth it goes and I know once I understand it all I'll be well into it...at present it's the learning and time consuming nature that I struggle with on it.
I did stop to take some pictures after passing FK Senja's ground last week...for a second I felt like FM had become reality

This is great, had a few minutes today so downloaded the game, patch and 2017 data update and installed.
Whack the speed up to x4 and stick it in windowed mode and it's great fun. Have it in the corner of the screen whilst getting on with whatever else you are doing and it zips along.

I don't think I can stick 2017 but 01/02 for free with updated data is quite fun for a little while.
I imagine it will be a very little while though.

Yeah I go through bursts with it. I play for a while then don't touch it for months and months, but the nice thing is you can zip through a few seasons without investing ridiculous amounts of hours.
I sound like a 14 year old now, I WANT IT NOW | |
