Frutos · Sep 7, 2015

It's time once again to start the buildup to the latest iteration of the most addictive game on the planet, and we have a load of new features to look forward to as described here:

Release set for the 13th of November.

Every damn year I say "I'm happy with FM##, I won't bother with the new one" and then they go and announce it and I instantly pre-order.

I'm so weak.

Not wanting to put a dampner on things but it seems to me that FM is trying too hard to add new features and is becoming more of a coaching game rather than just the days of good old Championship Manager where all you had to do was choose your team, dabble in the transfer market and see the game go by via the text on the screen.

I need a new laptop and i want it to play this game faultlessly, any recomendations?

The new manager options of selecting your appearance looks good. I wonder if there is a Mr Blobby option so that you can look like Mr.Evans.

I think it's much more in-depth, and so realistic, than it used to be - whether that's a good thing or not is personal preference, I personally love all the new stuff each year.

They usually have a classic mode included that is more akin to the stripped back games of the earlier years, so something for everyone.

Depends on what your budget is but if you aren't intending to play any other game just buy a laptop with 8 gb of ram and a decent i5 processor, anything more would be overkill unless you are planning to play with all leagues loaded!

sigh...I've already pre-ordered it.

I'm looking forward to the new fantasy draft mode, I've already got a few people who would be willing to give that a go.

And thank god, they've finally added "create a club mode" to the normal game, I guess that's even more hours of my life down the drain.

Oh really? This might drag me back in, when is it released?

I love the look of that feature, just a shame it looks like it is only for multiplayer mode

Personally, I'm getting so bored of Football Manager now, I am not a tactical genius so just end up finding a tactic online and end up winning everything far to easily.

Even adding my own rules, for example, I was only able to buy one player per transfer window, or only allowed to buy players with international caps, was too easy. (Although, I'm thinking next time to start at very small club and only buy players capped by the country I am managing in)

All of those new features look pretty decent.

What platform is everyone playing this on?

I'm playing CM 01/02 with the latest data update (end of last season), and it's great. Free legal download and bossing the Championship with a simple 4-3-3. Up the Albion!

FM15 was my favourite so far. Starting unemployed with no playing history/badges is the best way to play the game IMO.

Can't wait for FM16

Cheers, might pick it up cheap and try and replicate Brighton's new signings a year early!

This is something that I've done in the last few iterations using the editor that comes with the game anyway.

That said, I'm certainly glad that it'll be moved into the main game, should make things a little simpler...

You should go for the Moneyball challenge.

The version on ipad is like the old championship manager in that respect, anyone know if they are updating that version ?

I know what you mean, I used to have the same problem, but after reading many, many guides online, I'm not losing 6-0 every game now every time I use my own tactics.
