I can't get more than 15-17 Kb/s anywhere. I've tried every mirror.

i just tried to dive in, and I love it and plan on getting it but I cant tear myself away from 2006 and my Forest Green career to try it out much. Thumbs up to Marc and the guys but I'll wait until its fully ready and released.

You know Flasch, I love the series of FM, but what really pains me every year is that my one or two beloved careers can't be upgraded to the next version.
If they could learn to upgrade the game to allow continued careers, when they can, it would really add to the sale for a lot of people... I got a saved game with many many hours of play... MANY.. and I hate knowing I am going to lose that with the latest and greatest of FM when it is finally gold status.

I do not upgrade every year for that reason.

What are the big reasons to buy this version (if you have FM2k6)?
so far I have seen; -processing speed -more media interaction -more personnel interaction Anything else? I want to buy, but is it worth it? |

I tried that same one. It must be either my cable connection or wireless network that is slowing it down for me. I did get the vanilla version and will try it out.

Read the blog. In my opinion, this is groundbreaking stuff. Ridiculously ahead of any similar game and miles ahead of 2006. UI is the same, but so much better at the same time, as is the rest of the game. Just try it, it's free. Last edited by Desnudo : 10-01-2006 at 06:28 AM. |

well, its not that I wont be upgrading because I can guarantee I will BUT I dont want to spend time with a demo where the career I start might have to be started over when I've got my '06 FG Rovers to deal with.

Marc, can you confirm (or deny) that USL leagues made it into this version?

Seems very stable for the first round. Hard to judge performance since the quickstarts always cruise for me due to the small DB. I do like the way highlights and tips show while the game is processing. I find myself actually watching the screen instead of surfing the web.

Did you extract both files into the zip to a temp folder and ran the exe from there or did you just click on the .exe into the zip file? If you just open the zip file and click on the .exe you will have that error, hapened to me too. So the fix for me was to extract both files to a temp folder and then run the .exe

I guess I'll do my usual and try once more to "grasp" this game. Happens every year.
I coach soccer and I just don't understand why I can't understand this game. |

Seeing the aggregate scores up top with the game score in multi-leg competitions. |

might make it easier as far as setup, yeah. honestly, if i was you too, I'd play as Chelski. You may hate them IRL, but their huge amounts of cash will allow you to get the most fun out of your demo-playing, in terms of raiding other teams and signing big-name players. |

One of the confusing part of the game is the financial part of the game.
And loans and transfers not clear on that too. |

I honestly don't follow soccer IRL, so I guess that would be a good place to start.. although I do like the idea of using the worst team in most text sports sims. |

Has anyone noticed insane transfer fees? I'm using the strawberry version Italy quickstart and Lazio offered Everton 41.5 million for Tim Cahill who is valued at 13.5. I'm using American dollars. Also when I read scouting reports they recommend offering like 25-31 million for a guy valued at 8.

So, of the 100 changes made the MLS, draft and league going all foreign players wasn't looked at. That is a shame. I guess FM 2006 will be good enough for acasual gamer with limited time and finances. |

That's not really fair to say. Now, I doubt that MLS was looked at strongly, but all that's been confirmed is that USL isn't playable. It's very possible MLS's draft got fixed.

this was happening with FM2006 too. You gotta remember that value is always subjective. To get a player whom a team doesn't want to let go, you will have to pay the big bucks... FM

That is true I will admit. But, I have a number of times asked questions related to MLS on the SI board ove rthe years and it seems like there is very little interest in it as league in this game by the developer. If they are improving MLS other than the old " our researcher is working hard to improve this area" I would like to hear about the improvements. This game does still sell a fair amount in the US so it would be good to have the league play more realistically or time. If that is not a objective of SI just be like CM and not have the MLS league at all. Things like not having Toronto in the league is a good example. |

It may sell well in N. America, but I'll bet a lot of the purchasers have never played a game in the MLS. I know I haven't.

I really wish they could have got the USL leagues in, even as fictional teams.

That's because Toronto doesn't enter till next year, and SI's license does not cover it. I was the Revs researcher, and I worked with the US researcher, and yes, the MLS draft was looked atg. He says it's improved, I haven't seen it, so I can't say jack shit about it. It's not really a yes/no situation I know the USL isn't added, because they have no new leagues in this version. I know FC Toronto isn't added, because Al (the researcher) told me.

This has been said several times, but if FOF would have this much interaction with players, coaches, etc... and a field of little circles moving around a football field... WOW.

I cannot wait for this game to come out. The transfer window roundup is about the coolest news thing I've seen in a long time.
