Antonin Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I recently re-installed FM05 and I'm surprised at how much fun it is. Nice to look at, uncluttered...I wonder if anyone else is still playing this game? Who are you playing and how many years have you been managing?

ArsenalFan7 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Lol, that was the only other FM I had and FM05 was freaking awesome to be Arsenal on.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Lol, that was the only other FM I had and FM05 was freaking awesome to be Arsenal on.. YES! Arsenal was literally the shizzle on FM05. That is what really got me into being Arsenal on all the games in the FM Series:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Unfortunetly I can't find FM05 to install it.. I saw it sometime ago but now I can't find it.. Well i'll just carry on with FM10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthptngomad76 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hornchurch were the shiz in that game iirc too...they'd fly up the leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick... Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah, I'm still playing FM05! I'm in the year 2098, and currently managing Fakel in the Russian First Division (although we have a decent side, and halve already taken some premiership scalps in the cup) I agree ith those who have mentioned Arsenal's dominance in this version - below is what the AI achieved with them - I had to wait 'till Wenger's successor, Alan Irvine retired before I even got a sniff of the title (before Wenger retired, I had the upper hand on him in the SPL, but never hould break his domination of England - shame when he retired - one of the best rivals i ever had...) Just had a look at Hornchurch too - they got promoted first year, but never made the jump into league football and are now languishing in the grey leagues...

harris Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Ipswich coming 3rd is interesting ! Come on town ! I agreee, fm 05 was awesome! And again, arsenal were superb to manage i quite liked ipswich too, darren bent is way too good for championship lol would love to go back to that game, ifffff, there was someway to get it updated to the current database in fm 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I installed it recently to have a look at it. I think SI could certainly take a look at how they used to do training back then - made so much more sense imo. Couldn't get into it though as there was just so much missing that I couldn't do without nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick... Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm running all English, Scottish, Dutch and Russian Leagues, and the top two Italian ones... RandomManager: You think Boro as Premier Division Holders is funny - they've won five in the last six! (nothing to do with me either) I'm not sure what screenshots folk'd be interested in, but i'll give you the world cup winners... Alan Shearer lifted the trophy in '22 - but the 2042 final is my favourite... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewalsh Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 how are Halifax doing? Have we gone bust like IRL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick... Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Halifax are still solvent - with finances Okay. They're currently outside the Conference North and their highest league position is 3rd in the Conference (They've also won the FA trophy in '12). They notably made it to the 4th round of the 92/93 FA cup, succuming to a 2-1 defeat away to Man City (which presumably boosted the finances a bit). For a bonus screenshot... I give you some historical attendance figures for Halifax - notably, three quarters of the fans forgot to turn up for the 75/76 season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewalsh Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Cheers mate. What year was the 3rd? the FA cup thing is similar to what happened when we beat Man City then. If we are there in 2097 I will one be dead, but two turning in my grave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert_Goal_Here Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ah FM05 what a game. TBH the best FM's have been 05,07 and 08. FM10 May replace them in time. Nothing comes close to CM01/02 though, which as I've stated before was lightyears ahead of any other Football Sim of it's time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick... Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 No probs, The third place was in 06/07 (third year in...) - but knocked you out of the playoffs... The conference is a tough league to get out of... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alimac Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I loved 05. I may well have been still playing iot now if my old hard drive didn't die and lost my save! Top thread! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sthptngomad76 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 That looks like an awesome save. Any chance you could maybe show the current tables of the all the top divs? Just to see who's in the top flight in each country in that year. Some past winners would also be great if you've got the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yallii Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 FM05 was the last FM I really enjoyed! It was uncomplicated compared to what FM has become in the past few years... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldlemon897 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I enjoyed FM 07 but the best version I ever played was FM 06..Anyone still playing FM 06?? If there are, why don't i create a thread and we all discuss our game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonin Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 FM05 was the last FM I really enjoyed! It was uncomplicated compared to what FM has become in the past few years... I think the uncomplicated part is very appealing. Simple, straightforward. You manage your team. I even enjoy the lack of team talks. In later versions team talks are so repetitive, and I've never been sure that they actually help. In my FM05 I'm playing as Rochdale, though I've edited the team reputation and chairman's ambition to make it easier. Maybe I should start a game as Arsenal, though!

grade Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I agree this latest versions since Fm07 it is too complicated. I'm downloading Version 10.2 to see if anything has been done in this point. I doubt it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
