Best FM2005 result!

[Couldn't give a rats arse]

OK - get those screenies up! My copy finally arrived this morning and I already have a noteworthy result. After losing to Southend and coming back from 0-2 to scrape a 2-2 with Aldershot, here is my next game. (Played using the current squad only!)

Who can better that?

 

[Soton Seagull]

Hopefully mine will be waiting at home for me. Unfortunately my 15 month old PC has blown up, so no bloody use anyway!

Off to buy a new PSU at lunch (rather than Friday pub ), which I hope will sort it.

does this game run any faster than CM4?

Difficult to say - I ran the recommended number of leagues (8) and it is slow. I'm going to restart and just run England.

 

[Marc]

I only ever have England and/or Scotland running when playing in either country with a large database to get all the Euro players....thats CM4....aint got FM2005!

i find that playing 03/04 on quick start england league gives the best of both worlds all the top players, some obscure talented younger players and the benefit of being able to wizz through the season in about four to five hours. however on first impresions fm05 seems to run quicker, but only got the demo at the mo still waiting for the real thing to arrive from play.com (only 17.99 why would you get it anywhere else)

You can set how quickly the computer plays games that you are not involved in. The fastest setting you cant interrupt while it is loading.

That's where mine come from!

 

[Eggman]

Mine arrived today, can't wait till I get home and get stuck in!

I wonder if they've accounted for a ground move like they did in CM4. I did actually get Falmer up to just under 40k then. By the way, I've been playing FM2005 for a couple of days now.............fantastic!!

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I'll wait to CM5.

Played the demo for FM2005 and there's nothing new. Tactics need a serious overhaul.

im waiting for my game to arrive, order it from play.com on tuesday.

 

[Scotty Mac]

got mine!

just about to start the season with a tough trip to rotherham - no new players though

 

[Rambo]

This game is clearly too hard.
A whole night tonight playing it and I am rooted to the bottom of the table.
Cant score for toffee and leaking goals ten to the dozen.
Getting frustrating already.

You ever played CM2 then?

Now that could be HARD. Or piss easy. Really depended what mood the game was in.

Some days you'd lose every match even if your team happened to be the entire squad of the country that just won the world cup.

 

[Brightonian74]

I have to admit, I played the FM2005 Gold demo as Albion manager and to say it was hard is a severe understatement. Now I have the actual game, I'm Liverpool manager and it seems a damn-sight easier in comparison.

Seems that FM2005 doesn't rate Albion at all.......no offence lads!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

i have gone of cm
it is stupid you lose games to a side bottom of the table and a player that has scored once during the entire season gets 4 when you play them

i have gone of cm

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Haven't got the game yet, but played the demo.

My Dad is a scout for the Albion on here. His name is Trevor Cook, they got every detail right about him apart from his Birth Year (cos he would have been old) take a look for your self!
