Once FM15 comes out then surely it's bound to be cheap, lol

That's $17 American. What does that end up in Australian?

$18.27

Just chuck "17USD to AUD" into Google. Google is our savior.

Used to be 16 aud, so bloody sad

This was the worst ****ing idea ever. 10 hours later and I'm currently sitting in 4th position. How good is the streamlined version of the game?! Don't have to do all the pointless shit I used to hate.

FM Classic is for the weak

Does anyone play Football Chairman?

It's a downloadable (free) game on ipad.

You start in tier 6 with a 2000 capacity stadium.
You just hire coaches, improve facilities and hire players.
But the computer deals with who plays and the like.

Best I've done without cheating is tier 2.

What I hate, is you need to get the players in (I try via academy) but they leave if your training facilities aren't good enough, so you better hope you can get promoted to keep the income coming in.

Once you become a power though, god help your opponents, they'll never touch you again.

I prefer to think of it as those with limited time

Has anyone had a crack at any of the scenarios? I imagine they'd be interesting.

Don't you feel removed from the game? I remember trying it and finding that I just didn't care enough to keep playing.

Is it just me or does every game end up 4-3 or 3-2 in FM? I don't know what to do with my defense. Thank goodness my attack is amazing!

Depends on your formation.

 

[Shoei]

Oh and 4:30/5:30 on a Sunday is the shittiest kick off time in the AFL.

Why can't we play at 2:40 on Sundays all the time. I don't want to wait all bloody weekend to watch some football.

I'm using a 442 diamond. Have mixed it around a little bit and it doesn't seem to matter

We have to wait until 7:40 because of your backwards state.

Sunday night? **** off.

Which team? Players? What are they set to etc etc?

I'm a firm believer that the best formation for this FM is a back 3 and two wingbacks.

I won everything at Rangers last season including the Champions League, losing only 3 games the whole season in all comps.

I'm now managing Sweden and i'm 3-0 in games played including beating England 4-3.

First time in about 3 weeks the weather has been under 20 degrees, raining and 10 degrees. Beautiful.

 

[Jatz]

They sacked me bastards!

 

[SM]

Why would they have 3 games on Saturday and 4 on Sunday, makes no sense...

They sacked me bastards!

Must have got sick of the #ShitJatzSays

 

[chef]

If we could only kick straight it would have been quite a game against the Dockers.

 

[Latro]

Only because the AFL tried to fix the match.

Freo getting 4 free kicks for the match. Pav should of had at least another 6 himself.

Thought the umps were pretty shit against both teams. Didn't see the numbers though.

You're seriously complaining about free kicks after a 6 goal win?
