saviocm Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Wasn't the match engine from the game Kick Off, published by Anco I think? You got to control one player ( the player manager). It was very good at the time as I recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

muncherdave Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 For the record the original Player Manager from 1990 was great and yes saviocm, it used the original kick off engine. I can't comment on any of the more recent incarnations, like the 99 version posted above, but I'd imagine that they aren't very good, much like the Sensi games post 1997. Look, I'm sure the new CM will look very pretty and everything, but it still won't make up for the fact that the database will suck, like it has last year and the year before that and so on.

TWSOIA Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 How do you know that it will suck,i'm not saying it won't,but the demo will decide how good it is,you honestly think that they are developing it much longer to give us completely the same product like last editions that were pretty bad?It maybe will be the ond of the series,but it can be a new beggining for them!

The original Player Manager was brilliant. Started off as an all action midfielder then as you got older (bout 40ish) started playing up front because your player could only move for about 5 mins of the game.....excellent stuff!! Would love to have a go of it again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWSOIA Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'll try it definitely,it looks better then new fm(my opinion),but how it's gonna be playable is another thing,and match engine looks great even though i don't care about it,i've never used it in cm or fm!

It is very hard to judge on that so personally it does not look any better to me. I will try the demo and then judge it.
