Football Manager 2006 First Impressions

[Tom]

Post all your impressions (gripes, what you love, what needed to be in, price) in this thread, OR, create your own.

I just thought we should probably have a thread on its own for first impressions!!

TROD.

 

[Áļéאָ]

review coming in soon Nah, Ill probably be too bored to write one. Im bored reading them, let alone writing one

 

[Fernandez]

Just tried the Vanilla Demo. Made we wanna buy FM 06 more. Hpwever, I'm disappointed at having to start from scratch for my tactics and the number of chances that is needed to be converted.

 

[Tom]

try your FM05 tactics (its the same files)

TROD.

 

[Áļéאָ]

yeah, i believe they at least have support for files from the prev game. + I doubt the file structure has changed at all.

 

[Stotty]

So Tom, what are YOUR first impressions?

 

[Tom]

havent got any since i havent got the game.

TROD.

 

[Stotty]

Tut, Si staff and FM Forum mod doesn't have the game

 

[Áļéאָ]

tut tut, almost no-one else does have it so... Till we all get started about FM and its once again major or less major bugs, what you think of my sig

 

[Vagegast]

Just installed it, but can't make a judgment as it's been only 5 minutes.

Looks good tho.

Tut, Si staff and FM Forum mod doesn't have the game

may i remind you that Liam hasnt even got FM05

Oh and by the way, if we're bitching; SI released an unlocked version of the game for testers to download, so while not being the full game i COULD play a quickstart for eternity... which aint bad.

Oh and Alex, wonderful sig/av

TROD.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Is Jens Mustermann still Jens Mustermann? Or is he Kahn again, that would suck
Are the French team names correct now?

 

[Juventino]

Yes, its still Mustermann and nope, french teams are still fecked.. but it will fix all that if you remove the LNC map in the db map.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

does that remove Mustermann and the fake french team names too? Cool, i thought it was only for the grey players.

Now, i have to find a way to be able to load the game

 

[Stotty]

tut tut, almost no-one else does have it so...

Just picky

 

[Fernandez]

try your FM05 tactics (its the same files)

TROD.

The creativity and all the other bars for individual players are changed. I created two new tactics already so it's no big deal.

 

[Vagegast]

Tried using my FM05 with Ajax... so far I've beaten Besiktas (8-0 over two legs), Benfica (4-0) and Liverpool (2-1).

I'm sucking in the domestic league however so I'm assuming a smarter AI.

 

[Tom]

domestic leagues seemed a lot harder on demo, more scrappier games in my opinion. At Champions League level the game seemed very similar.

TROD.

 

[gian]

it's out yeh!! Though I just noticed and I have lesson in 30 minutes... Damn it! I am going to send dad to get it for me! ( as a xmas present maybe?)

 

[peterattheboro]

Anyone else think that there are a lot more players with mint stats for a small value?

Domestic league seems harder as well.
