neilb242 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ok fair enough. Just I thought the idea of a community was that you could come talk about the game in whatever way you chose? Maybe it may seem a bit pointless at first, but its got people talking about the game, to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Graham Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Not the greatest game ever, although the series is an all time classic. The greatest game tag needs to be saved for games such as Zelda OOT, Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, Civ 2, GTA 3, Minesweeper, Final Fantasy IV (I think) etc. These game reached for the sky and succeeded- many transformed their genres and arguably have not been bettered since. SO maybe CM 01/02 deserves to be included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

51 Cent Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 alryt boys, im back from work. Just to let you know, i put lol after most sentences because its just habit from that stupid msn. And i swor a couple of times because people were coming in here and disregardin what the topic was actually about. To the person who said 'its a topic for the sake of it', why would i do that? I actually wanted to know what people think of the game and the series as a whole, then it turnt into a 'top 5' thread which i kinda enjoyed Kinda annoying when people have a go at you for asking a simple question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norville Rodgers Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I didn't have a go, I just said that, to me, it feels like a thread for the sake of it. Toanswer your original question, i grew up with CM, and eventually FM. Back in the day, circa 2000, when i was at college, studies would regularly get missed as i couldn't turn away from the game. The longest i played was 36 hours straight. Those days seem a looooong time ago to me now. work has ushered it's way into my life, and the last patch 8.0.1 has made the game deeply unplayable, to my mind. I hope 8.0.2 readresses the balance, and i still enjoy playing FM. But, at the moment, in all honesty I think Wii Sports and Mario v Sonic Olympics (also Wii) are 10, 20, 50 times more fun than FM.

Tom =) Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My Top 5 games of all time 5. The Fifa Series - Now there definitly not as addictive as FM, but imo there two different types of games, in FM your the manager, while in Fifa you are the team, and i would also say it is alot easier to play against your friends on FIFA, than it is on FM. 4. The Sims/2 - Now most people probably think that it's more of a womens game, and i agree with you, as my girfriend, if she ever does go on the laptop i bought her this christmas, thats the game she goes on. And as much as i despise it, if you actually play the game you will appreciate just our realistic it is, in some ways this game is amazing. 3. GTA - This imo is the best shoot em up game of all time, it's realism may lack a bit but the graphics and just addictiveness of this game is immense. 2. FM - It should be first, but it just has so many problems. Like online play, bugs etc. 1 1/2 - CM - Arguably imo, more enjoyable AND addictive than FM ever has been. 1. WWF/E - These games for a wrestling fan like my self are amazing, the realism now days are sheer breath taking. Also it's evolution, in the 90's the PS1 graphics where what i would call these days, ****. And now to have some of the best graphics around imo, that is what a game is about, getting better each year. Which imo, FM has lacked in the last few years.

Kazza Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Interesting title and I thought I had the answer then it me thinking. What is the greatest game? Well to start off with it depends what game genres' you like. Then what actual early games changed the face of gaming. And there's a few more variables you can throw in there as well. I know the PC mags have their top 50/100 games every year and over the last few years it has remained fairly constant..e.g. half-life, total war series, fm, bioshock type games and so on. Personally I play Eve/FM/and a few rpg's along with some FPS and sim games (civ/city series). What dictates the best game for me is the mood I am in at the time. So to cut to the quick I have played every cm/fm game released..do i like it no..am I addicted yes, can I get help for that addiction no!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Brummie Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Football Manager is indeed an exciting game that over the years has got better and better, I remember back in the CM days where you just picked the team and got some sort of result and then pressed continue and the next time it came back was when it was time for another match, their was not much that FM has now, You didn't sort out the tactics and you couldn't sort out all the formations, you didn't even have to have a goalkeeper in the early CM days so that proves just how far FM has come, although many users may complain I for one am one who believes that Football Manager is amazing and constantly improving as the versions go on, Here's to Football Manager Team for the great work they have been doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sav112 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My Best game ever would be an old game called elite, it was infinite, it was an adventure in space. It was only Black and white but fantastic. You traded, tooled up your ship and even went on bounty hunts and you were monitored in the fact you started out “Mostly harmless†to the Final “Elite†after a very long time… Space was populated by a variety of craft and objects with space stations.

Powermonger Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'd like FM to be in my top 5 but it's not quite there yet. Tactics and the way they are presented need to be improved, as well including better feedback from matches, then the game will feel more complete. Top 5 for me are: Powermonger (by Bullfrog) Medieval Total War (by Creative Assembly) The whole Baldurs Gate series (by Bioware) Sensible World of Soccer (by Sensible Software) Transport Tycoon (by Chris Sawyer) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Stinson Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Though, I do have to say the game is good. I'm not sure 2008 could make my personal all-time top games, but I think 2007 would: 5. Pong (yes, I'm seriously) 4. EHM 2007 3. Flight Simulator 2004 2. Football Manager 2007 1. EHM 1.16 (freeware) And within the FM series: *I've only been playing since midway through FM 2006 3.

outremer Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 1. Elite (BBC Micro) - I nearly died on several occasions due to a lack of sleep, food and drink whilst playing. Best game ever. 2. Hall of the Things (Spectrum) - Used to play this co-op with a mate, both using the keyboard. This added to the suspense as the game experience was oft punctuated by things being pulled or simply falling out/off the computer. 3. Pimania (Dragon 32) - I never did work it out, but it makes my list simply for the strange song on the cassette's "B" side. 4. X-Wing vs Tie Fighter (PC) - THE best space combat game, ever. Period. 5. CM4 - Apart from the frustating "Diablo" tactic and my friend's determination to use it in LAN games this is, IMO, the best football management game ever created. Bring back the wibble/wobble! P.S. I don't think the FM series would feature in my top ten were I to carry on. Good games, but have consolidated rather than innovated for too long.

Burscoughnian Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Games I play most are FM2008 and Sim City Deluxe. Both are heavily customised by myself for realism and I can spend hours on either at one time. Can't really decide a "Best Game Ever" as I've enjoyed the GTA series a "helluvvalot" also but there's no denying that any game which takes away hours upon hours of your life is a classic.

51 Cent Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 OK, i'll start by saying i am deeply sorry if i have offended anyone in anyway I am not normally an offensive boy and i regret makin the comments I have, and so for that I apologise. No is no need for what I have said. I haven't commented on these forums purely for the fact that when I did, people would come in and make comments that weren't anything to with the topic in question, as some of them have been doing. It's not an excuse for what I have said, just, it annoys me when people seem to think its smart to do so. So saying that, can I ask for forgiveness from the people I have offended. I will not make another offensive comment, and that's a promise. But please, could people stick to the topic that is asked. Thanks lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
