mastercasper Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 As I see it, we will get a lot of FM games coming out before they stop making this game A lot of things can be added and when they have added those they will find a lot of new things:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FkVidak1389 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Somehow I don't think that FM would still cost £30 if we got this kinda tech, but I would still buy it no matter!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiitastic Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 some people still play cm01/02 so in that aspect, the cd/dvd can last for years if kept well. I wont be buying fm2011 so it looks like I may be trying to keep fm2010 for 2 years. I may buy fm12 I don't know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev147 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 There will always be demand for FM and as it stands CM is the only real competition and they are not making a game this year are they? So really its down to SI as to when they stop. I can't see it happening for many years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eles Gergo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I recon with the current technology and development rate in 10 years time there wil be some significant changes to the game that can alter our experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelixForte Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 As long as people keep buying the game and they stay making the game better they will excist, I hope for very long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 As long as there is still the interest I don't see why they would stop. I've been playing FM since the first CM and am still as addicted as I was then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcunitedfan Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I echo what others have said. If the game is still making the company profit, what's the point in them not making it anymore. When the game starts losing them money (as in not enough people buying it), then they will probably stop making it. Until that point, they have no reason to stop releasing new versions of the game yearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 As long as football still exists, then there will be a need for FM. I imagine a future virtual reality version with a virtual dugout, virtual rain and virtual half-time pies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTime Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 As long as football exists there will probably be a football management simulation out there. At the moment FM is going strong and unless there is a big change in the gaming market in the next 10 years I can see FM still being around in 2020.

SI Staff Ter Posted October 3, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted October 3, 2010 We are definitely not running out of ideas to improve the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just-Wool Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It'll last as long as people keep wanting to buy it I reckon. All the games you mentioned were replaced in the market by better games, as long as SI keep on top then it'll keep being made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stomalomalus Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Have a look at the suggestions thread, and you'll get an idea... FM may be the best management sim out there, and has been since it arrived (I do have a spoft spot for Player Manager, but you can hardly call that a sim:p), but it is still a million miles away from the "perfect" game... The big thing I see is that FM looks to always add things into the game that require computing power, while still keeping the game available to the majority of it's fan base. Therefore, I would suggest that there will be a split in FM in about 4-8 years time, into two seperate games, one with the VR like sim quality - individual player personalities, immersive match engine, contract talks and media interviews - and one that remains more text based. I get the feeling that this will result in a split whithin SI, and it depends which route SI take as to whether FM will continue in it's current guise or whether the future heirs will take on a different name. Who knows. My money is on another split in 5 to 8 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazaveli Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I can't see anyone making a better Football management sim other than FM, so it will kill going as long as they keep introducing fresh new ideas each year, and keep putting in the hard work. That, or until football loses popularity (never) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just on the wishlist thread you've probably got a good few years of new features to add;) Aside from that, football isn't going anywhere, so as long as the game is around, there'll be simulators to simulate it.

B. Stinson Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sports Interactive will probably be the ones who invent it At which point, they'll quite literally be "Sports Interactive". I wouldn't doubt it, either. I can definitely see virtual reality being routine at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samb_95 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 only when demand falls, which will only happen when not only the game is pretty much the best it can be, but when the game hasn't changed in terms of new rules etc. when that will be? anytime, but still quite a while away from the end.

anthony wright Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 SI have seen off the competition over the years and can carry on for a long time yet as long as the game keeps improving year on year. I suppose the only danger is if they make bad financial decisions and have cash flow problems or something similar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
