Ha ha I used to get the Kicker special issue and went into the basement for weeks to get the correct names and data input into Anstoss/Off the ball on my 386 computer. I think Breitholz inhame was helmer and there was a decent Striker at Borussia Dortmund named Vespucci who was really Chapuisat if i remember right. Kahn wasnt called Mustermann though ;-) If you would have told this kid this would be a few clicks on the internet one day. Tanks to all database editors, researchers etc. Mc Allister was one of the few English players actually known to some people here in Germany after Keegan. Just learned about the new names in Italia 90 then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMV90 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Whilst I would love the Beta to be out tonight, it could be worse - there could be no Football Manager game. I for one am thankful and appreciative that we have an FM game to look forward to. On the plus side, my laptop hasn’t reset in 24 hours of waiting, so tomorrow will give it another 24 hours to reset 🤞🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game out on the BBC Micro in the 80's called "Soccer Supremo" which differed from every game before or since in that the players didn't have numbered stats but had descriptions in a little book that came with the game - can still remember some of their names now!

"Patrizier" by the same publisher as Anstoss actually had a manual booklet with real pigskin, and it wasnt even a special edition, you pay hundreds of coins today for.

RorysRocketThrow Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 It might not happen tonight, but I reckon the radio silence is because they are trying to get it out tonight. Anyone who works in Software (puts hands up) will tell you how long and laborious the process is when bug fixing, re-building, re-uploading to the relevant business systems and servers (especially if it's the Atlassian toolset for example...) Patience people. If we're frustrated waiting I can tell you there will be nobody more frustrated than the coders, devs and evaluators right now.

Perhaps they don't want to be repeating the same thing every night and frankly, they have no reason to. It has been said many times that we should expect it on Friday, so to say that SI now also owes us hourly updates, is a bit unfair. Also, they probably enjoy the hype their franchise is getting - forums are on fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
