Stuart Warren Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 No football on the telly, so what better way to spend Tuesday 7th October than an entire evening dedicated to the world's favourite football management game. Plus, there's an opportunity to be immortalised in the game itself! Exclusive to Vue cinemas for ONE NIGHT ONLY – this is the first ever opportunity to see An Alternative Reality: The Football Manager Documentary. With contributions from the game's creators, football experts and a host of famous fans, this is a film for everyone who knows how it feels to lead Grimsby to European glory…or wants to know how it feels. WHAT ELSE YOU GET WITH YOUR TICKET The film will be followed by a short video which unveils the new features of FM15 and the evening will be rounded off with a 'live' Q&A with the game's director, Miles Jacobson, who will answer questions posed by you and viewers at each of the participating cinemas. As an added bonus, one lucky fan at each screening will win the chance to be immortalised in FM15 as a 'new-gen' player (tickets must be purchased before October 5th and other terms and conditions apply) - meaning YOU could be a star player for any number of FM players around the world!

Soul_Linneus Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 So no chance for anyone outside the UK to appear as a newgen? Anyone who wants can appear as a newgen in the game, simply by creating a edt file (future regens). Here's a thread explaining it: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/390336-EDT-LNC-files-for-regens?highlight=future+regen Although that would only apply to your game. With this competition you would appear in everyone's game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grade Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I got a question. On the site it says it will be transmitted in Portugal by Sporttv at 20.00 CET, however in programming on the site and on the TV, it is not indicated it will be transmitted in any of the 5 channels under this brand tomorrow October 7th. I want to see this documentary, but I have no clue which of the 5 channels is this documentary is to be transmitted or if your site has the wrong information. Hope it is clarified.

daylight Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's fair! I was invited along by Ciarán Brennan of SI to tell my story from the 'recount your FM stories' thread, when I got the email I was really excited I do not mind saying, I was then in touch with the guys making the documentary and unfortunately the date I had to be in London for the shooting clashed with my holiday with the family so it all stopped there. Truly gutted having played the game for the best part of 2 decades and then have a chance to be in a documentary about it .... then it was gone. I went swimming with my son the day of the shooting while I was on holiday, his first time swimming so that made up for it though. Edit- I did move the email from Ciarán to my 'important emails' so it does not get deleted, so at least I have that also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RorysRocketThrow Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Really enjoyed the documentary and thought it covered pretty much all bases - from the enthusiast to the professional football people who use some element of the game/data through various comedy moments. Step forward Jon McClure for most of those (Was it his wife narrating?). Very good to see/hear the original game makers, and it might have been me but they came across as very awestruck and almost speechless at how big this game has grown since the original. I haven't enjoyed a trip to the cinema as much as last night in absolutely ages. Well done and thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whytecliffe Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Really good documentary and thoroughly enjoyable evening. The only disappointment was the early section of the film, talking about the history of FM completely missing out CM3,4 and the yearly updates, no doubt for legal reasons so the story jumped from CM2 to FM2005. It kind of didn't give the whole story. I'm also quite surprised at the Q&A nobody asked about why each release has bugs that aren't fixed until Feb? I would have loved to see if someone would have asked (tongue in cheek) when the next patch will be released!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted October 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2014 As Miles said on Twitter earlier today: #FMDoc was the 9th biggest film at box office in the UK yesterday. And 2nd based on average per screen. Thank you all for coming! A digital release (on iTunes & others) will follow in a couple of weeks. Date will depend on how long approvals take. DVD in UK in Nov.

That's how I managed to see it here in Cambodia. Wasn't going to post the link in case it was unauthorised, which evidently was the case. I would happily have paid if I could, by the way. Alas no one will authorise a credit card payment from Cambodia; I can't even pre-order the game at the moment, which is a major bummer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseee Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I went with two cousins and we all really enjoyed it. Jon McClure was very funny, I loved his bit when he said he still thinks about the time he won the cup with Newcastle. I still think about the time Eduardo scored a 119th minute lob against Inter Milan to win the Champions League for my Arsenal team in FM 2007! The only thing that bugged me was when Paolo Nutini stole Jason Manford's joke about being a bit rude to player in real life because that player skipped training in FM!

phnompenhandy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 anyway, can't you get some friend/family member to buy the game for you and send you the code?

LewisQ Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Watched it on iTunes. Enjoyable little film. It's not a comprehensive chronology of the game (the crucial pre-Sega years are barely covered, presumably for rights reasons), but a funny and illuminating snapshot of obsession. Albertini and Andros Townsend are the best of the celeb talking heads (Albertini features briefly, but takes it very seriously!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
