Football management games I remember playing back all those years ago are: Football Director, good but I seem to remember it crashed whenever you hit space or break. A combination board game and computer game. I can't remember what it was called, but looking online it could be Brian Clough's Football Fortunes. Tracksuit Manager but I don't remember much about it The Double. I loved this game and wrote to the company that made it with a load of suggestions for the sequel if there was one. They never replied and I don't think there was ever a sequel. I also remember playing Premier Manager, but looking online it was never released on the spectrum, so this must have been later on on a different computer. Plus a load of little rubbish ones which I don't remember. Jesus that's a trip down memory lane. I remember most if not all of those games having played or owned them at one point or another.

superposh Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Early impression of the latest update/patch... Big thumbs up. The issues with match engine seem to have been ironed out. I did only manage to play three matches on my Barcelona save last night, but the signs are promising! Also, even my poverty spec laptop is running 3D at medium quality nice and smooth.

FM17 was unrealstic. I played a tactic that if i tried that now in 19/20 i would be roasted and yes i did try it and found out i was roasted. 17 had good attacking play because the defending was awful. 18 had a good balance between both, in 19 defending became a thing, like real proper defending not stone statues that don't do anything. In 20 i believe we're almost their super close to that point where defending is a thing and attacking is working right. I know its off topic and im not a fan of 17 myself but saying the defense was awful and defender stone statues is just nonsense, otherwise endless screenshots like that would not have been possible https://mrkeysirensie.wordpress.com/2017/08/24/fm17-reading-fc-part-xxxx-clean-sheets-galore/#jp-carousel-15885 https://mrkeysirensie.wordpress.com/2017/08/24/fm17-reading-fc-part-xxxx-clean-sheets-galore/#jp-carousel-15883 But im with you, early signs of 20 are very promising.

Which means, like all of Germany's opponents at the World Cup, it may be able to do something immediately however few times it wins the ball back.

MatthewS17 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just bought and downloaded. I saw some great intelligence in trying to play a few through balls through the middle. Although only about 1 out of 6 wasn't intercepted(led to a goal), I am delighted at the mere attempt. You can see the difference in a higher tempo, in the way the ball is played too, which is great. On a side note, it feels like my centre backs spend more time as playmakers than the actual midfield. They create several plays with balls out wide to run onto, or split through and over the middle. Midfielders seem less involved than they are, which is a bit weird. Although I find that the balls over the top aren't too high for me, they are for the AI. I think so far, about 80% of chances were balls over the top resulting in 1v1s that weren't scored. Does take a bit away there. Otherwise, this is most definitely playable, and potentially enjoyable. Will see how it goes over time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kertiek Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) played a full season in the last ME, i think the balance its good, one of the best in the last patches including fm19, the only thing that bothers me is that there is matches were the fouls/card are really high like 7+ 3/5 games. also i would really like if we could have the option to disable automatic subtitutions when using match plans, is really frustrating setting up a plan for a game and seeing your assistant making substitutions at 10 mins because you are not playing a player in his natural position even tho he is getting results and in the bench there is a better suited player, but there is no problem with condition or injuries. the match plan feature is realistic, the players should know that if they are winnning by a few goals there is no need to keep pushing at a high intensity and just approach the game for a while with a little more time wasting.
