Football Manager iPhone released tomorrow
Hi,
My 'secret' is finally out (thank God it'd been driving me batty keeping quiet about it) .... Football Manager iPhone is released tomorrow (all territories), first review at: Football Manager Handheld 2010 Review for iPhone - VideoGamer.com Have Fun, Marc |
Cost?
|
Great job Marc.
Now, hurry back and get this released for Android. |
Quote:
I believe its 6.99 (UK Pounds) in England, not certain of the cost in America at present, although I can confirm it'll be released over here tomorrow same as everywhere else. |
Woah. Congrats! Now, if only I had an iPhone....

Works on an iTouch as well ;) Its been road tested on the oldest iTouch's fine incidentally works just the same as on the 3gs - just a little slower ;) |
I don't play FM, but this is cool!
|
My favourite review so far from the ones I've seen:
Review: Football Manager Handheld 2010 Review - ComputerAndVideoGames.com |
(igor mode on)
IT MUST BE MINE!!! (igor mode off) |
goddamn you!!!
like i said in my PM to you a while back...that's a system-seller for me quite likely!!! ohhhh - the fact it works on an itouch is even better - that way i can just replace my MP3 player!!! ohhhhhhhh....and congrats for getting it out Marc!!!! |
looks like very good reviews so far Marc!!
damnit - i guess i could put my tax return towards an itouch... |
what about the ipad Marc?
|
Congrats Marc!! Best of luck with the release and great sales numbers!
Cheers, Markus |

No comment at present I'm afraid, time will tell. I do love my iPad though (and FMH iPhone will work on it ;) ) :D |
any hope of work productivity just went down the tubes.
thanks. /tk |

but FMH iPhone will work on it - that's what I was looking for (I assumed as much). Wasn't looking for news about an iPad specific version...perhaps with 3d graphics, but now you've started the rumor-mill ;) Cheers!!! |
Awesome! Just last week I was thinking of posting here asking if this was coming!
|
Awesome! Congrats as well!
|
A must purchase tomorrow, no more internet surfing in my IPhone while in the WC, now it's FM time!
|
I just found out I can get Football Manager for the PSP Go my kids got me for my birthday.
It's on my "must obtain" list. :) Thanks for being so versatile with your projects, Marc. |
i guess i should consider spending some of the tax refund on an itouch to replace my old MP3 player then...
|
Congrats Marc
You guys keep impressing |
damnit.. i thought it was real football
|
I'm still very much pro dot.
This is great. Just in time for my Birthday too! I cannot be stopped! This will be mine. On another note: This and Wesnoth in the same week. I'll need to sit next to a wall charger. |
Out now across Australia and Europe - will hit America in a few hours time if anyones still up come midnight :D

Apologies I know the name can be confusing to people here at times. |

some would contend it IS real football. ;) :D the problem i've had with other iterations of FM is that i can't bring myself to spend that much time in front of my computer. i've also got the small gripe that at first, it's really confusing, it's data overload. i have FMH for my PSP but the PSP manages battery life so poorly, I haven't played it as much as I would like. Definitely looking forward to this version. :) /tk |
"I LOVE YOU MARC! I'm gonna be non stop playing this on my Ipod Touch.
|
I guess we now know why Marc was giving Shawn Sullivan some pointers in his thread on what Apple requires for iPhone/iPad applications. :)
|
downloading now.
|
Just to confirm - the games up in the US iTunes store now and you can find it at ....
Football Manager US iTunes link |
Fun game. This will get most of my play time on my iPhone.
|
Still not available in the Spanish store.

Out Now - Spanish store purchase link: FMH iPhone |
Well Marc, you've successfully made me dig out my Touch again after having not used in months since getting my Droid.
Can't wait to try this out. Congrats! |
Oh there's also a FREE manual for the game available as an application here -

Quoted for plead. |
So is this game comparable to the PSP version of the game?
|
Quote:
The FMH iPhone game is a ported evolution of the PSP game. That is the basis for the game was originally the PSP product (the first iPhone game version (ie. prototype) was the PSP game running on the iPhone with swiping simulating the PSP inputs and some 'fake' iPhone buttons at the bottom of the page ;) ). Once the concept was proven (ie. that the game would work on the iPhone) we designed the look and concept behind how the UI itself would work (I've a huge document me and Chris Rice drew up which literally goes over EVERY page in the game detailing what it'll look like and how it'll operate) ... then came months of coding and creative language as I actually implemented those changes. During this period for 'time outs' when continual GUI stuff drove me nuts I tweaked and tunes the game engine, ironing out as many glitches reported on the forums as possible. PS - There are a few features from the PSP game not in the iPhone game, these are either absent for physical (ie. memory/processor) reasons or because it simplified the GUI to leave them out. Off the top of my head these are - only one nation 'active' at a time (ie. no multiple nations leagues active at once), you can't drag and drop tactical positions, some slmplifcations of tactics and no trading cash between transfer budget and wage budget ... I might have missed some but thats the bulk of them I believe. |
so were the drag+drop tactical and simplification of tactics due to physical reasons, or GUI reasons? Just from the various FM-facebook communities I've got posting all over my facebook page I've noticed that those are a couple things that people seem to miss.
|
Will it (or has it) been released in Canada? Cannot find it on my iTunes store :(
|
Will this be released in Germany?
|
Quote:
Its not available in Germany due to licencing issues there, you can purchase it there using a UK iTunes store voucher (or any other supported store voucher). |

Hi, Its out over there I believe - try this link: http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/fm-2010/id352933624?mt=8 |
Sweet!
I was looking under FMH and saw the manual but not the game. Thanks! |
Downloaded this morning. The GUI will take some getting used to (feels like more clicks), but I already feel myself getting pulled into the game.
Does it auto-save more frequently than desktop versions to account for the risk of phone calls closing the game? |

It autosaves when you exit the application (via. any method - quitting or phone interrupt etc.). HOWEVER please be warned this won't save dynamic progress inside a match (ie. you'll lose the current score in an active match) - this is due to technical issues with doing so - I hope to overcome this at some point for an update though. |
Please keep us updated (to the extent you can) as to the financial success of such a venture.

I'm buying it now, just because you are awesome. |
Since I know someone will ask without looking at the links it's $9.99 in the US.
