dizze Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 As we all know some feature of football manager 2010 i thought that i would look back at the football manager series and pick my favourite. My favourite was football manager 2008 it had everything i guess. so whats is your favourite version and if you prefer championship manager then i suggest you dig a deep hole, in the middle of the night and and NEVER come back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 7.0.2, then 7.0.0, then 7.0.1 CM01-02 and FM09 deserve mentions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam_Man Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Without doubt FM09. Played every version and this is the best Ive played and the 3D match engine has lifted the game to a whole new level. For once Ive rarely visited the forums so havent been made aware of the bugs I wouldnt have noticed and its been the most enjoyable version for me. Still playing it hours every day and will do until 2010 comes out.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macflyer Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hm, I had an enjoyable save going with 9.0.3 and thought "best game ever". Then, my charger of the laptop broke, still have to replace it. Reverted to FM08 with 8.0.2 on my netbook and loving it. Even have to say, that I come to like the old media handling better than the press conferences the longer I play FM08 again. Not so sure about the ME, at times it looks better and smoother and more realistic than FM09, then again, it´s hard to compare. Just a feeling. If I have only 1 vote, I would say FM09. The brokenew ground with 3D, I like the progress bar and ass man feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl87 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I had the best/longest career on FM07. Sadly, I didn't get going until a month or two before FM08 was released and so when FM08 was released I began playing that and therefore I lost interest on my FM07 save. Wish I didn't, though!

Cityull Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 for me, the latest version is the best in every game as the features are newer and its most up to date. not sure 09 will get much attention with fm10 on the horizon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrithral Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 06>09>07>08>05Probably down to the games I've had going with each version. 06 I tried playing 06 a while ago (i'd given 08 to my brother in law) and it was truely horrendous. Probably my least favourite of the series. I'm impressed anyone managed to play a career game with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my least favourite of the series. I'm impressed anyone managed to play a career game with it. I had a legendary game with 06, one I've not even come close to replicating since. It just had so many great stories in it. Without that one save 06 would have been much further down the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elrithral Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just shows how much difference one save can have on people's perception of a game. I adored 08, many hated it, but I had/have a fantastic save on it. I dare say 09 would be top of my list had I not ruined my favourite save by changing jobs The fact that I lost that connection means my impression of 09 has plummeted.

paulo_ac Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Definitely FM 2007, was the best of the FM series. I may be forced to concede that FM 09 could have taken my experience to a new level, but I could not play the 3D. I tried it on my mate's laptop, but the play itself was rubbish, probably because of a poor match engine, and the games just took so long. Also I found that the widgets that I wanted to use covered the pitch!! Once I got 08 I did stop playing 07, but for me its match engine (07 that is) was just brilliant, and that has always been the most important thing, to get a match that is as realistically simulated as is possible or the technology allows. Otherwise I rather play a beautiful to look at with great sound like the Total club manager/Fifa manager series. But the ease of transfers and its simplistic and unrealistic matches have always put me off in favour of Football Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, C. Unfortunately not, every thread I posted about it in was deleted in the forum purge a while ago and I stupidly deleted all the screenshots apart from a few. I'll try and summarise my career though: 50 years spent at one club, Braintree Town Took them from the BSS to the Premiership in straight seasons Extreme success including 23 consecutive CL titles A stadium that held over 130000 and hosted a WC semi final I hit the £2b barrier Home of the greatest player ever, Danny Roberts, who scored over 1000 goals His final goal for the club at the age of 38 was in a CL final After retiring, Danny stayed as assistant, then when I retired he took my job Those screenshots just go to show that FM06 is miles behind the recent versions but that was my most enjoyable game ever.

MagnumPI Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 For me, FM09 has kept my attention the longest. I tend to play for several months straight and I have a rest (usually pre-season). Once the season starts again i get tempted. The depth and playability is fantastic with 9.03. The pitch took to a whole new level and got it closer to those "pretty boy" graphics that EA Sports keep chucking out. Together with the logos and player pics FM09 is a clear winner to me. Close second cm01/02 with the 2009 patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
