If I were to start playing Football Manager, which version would you guys recommend? I've seen some complains about 2014 vs 2013. When is 2015 coming? Any mods or patches needed?

Thanks

Thanks, I'll check out FM. Though they have licensing problems in Germany and the game is a little harder to get here, but I guess I can just order in the UK. Is it still worth to get 2014 or wait for the new installment?

Just personal preference. I always liked those games just to relax, lean back and watch, but in the newer ones you spend more time analysing statistics and wading through countless menus, screens and options, than just watching the games and your tactics unfold. Of course they're not as deep anymore, but puts me more at ease.

Can always check things like /r/steamgameswap - the lowest price was 75% off at 12.49$. For that price I'd still buy 2014, the new version will take at least a month or so until after the current transfer window is closed.

e; @above, http://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/ is generally a good place to look, their sidebar is kinda awful tho.

Wow, for a moment I had to click the SS kits while thinking: "why would I want my team to look like a bunch of personel from the Schutzstaffel?".

Thanks btw, I will try to read some before deciding between 13, 14 or waiting.

Is there an appealing, lightweight manager game (official licenses would be great, but not neccessary) out there that is mostly just about team management? Also would be nice if the matches are in some form of 3D-engine, I usually like to lean back and watch the actual game.

If it just has team management, simple training settings, transfer market and maybe some stadium management (like ticket prices or improving the stadium etc.) it would be perfect for me.

I believe this was from my FM13 save.

Wish I had the screenshot of him after retiring... I think he banged in over 100 goal for England in the end.

Gotta agree, he'd be best as an Inside Forward.

Anyways, here's mine:

Old screenshot too, followed me to every club ever since I picked him up 5 years ago

Developed him as a poacher because he could outrun everyone... but I think he was able to play both wide positions comfortably in case my other wingers were tired.

Man playing Atheltic Bilbao after someone else ran it into the ground for 3 years with the racial restrictions is so frustrating. On one hand you have all this money. On the other hand not enough good players of Basque background to fill all positions.

I'm in my fifth season, and this is the farthest I've ever gotten (FM13 was the first one I played). This guy isn't my player, but he's by far the best newgen I've ever seen in one of my saves:

FM 15 screenshots. Looks like you have to level up your manager now, they made scouting more ambiguous and harder (you won't know everything about a player after scouting him once), and they replaced Creativity with Vision.

In terms of the interface, there's a sidebar now, which should make navigating around the menus easier and faster. Shame they didn't show more about the tactics screen.

Thanks for sharing.
I have to say, I like what I see. The UI should be easy to modify colors and seems quite nice, more visible informations about players and not-so-easy scouting also seems great.

At least the sidebar is back after disappearing for three/four editions now. I missed out on these screenshots but remember them being posted on /r/footballmanagergames.

I love the improved scouting and that you can select languages from a menu. It's really annoying that I can only speak English and Spanish if I set my nationality to American (and I don't even speak Spanish). Of course I can pick a second nationality, but I'm not American and Swiss, or American and Swedish, or whatever. It's petty but it's immersion-breaking for me.

I also don't like how a "tactical manager" isn't part of the coaching staff for training. That makes no sense. If I'm a tactical manager do I just not show up to training or something?

But overall I'm impressed with the new features. I was saying that I was going to stick with FM14 for a while, but after that video I'm finding it hard to resist FM15.

Finally :D This has been needed for a long time. Should force people to have more faith in scouting reports.

My current FM14 save is going pretty well. I just managed to get Hednesford into the Football League from Skrill North. It took me more seasons than I would've liked but it's difficult when your club has half the wage budget of everyone else in the league you're in! I got promoted from Skrill North in my first season with some decent loan signings, but it took 4 seasons to get out of the Skrill Premier (although we did win the double in that season; League and FA Trophy). Hopefully we can stay up but it's gonna be a difficult campaign with the squad only just turning pro...


I won the CL with my Leverkusen side in 2018, then in April 2019 my save file got corrupted. I took a break for a couple weeks and decided to try something different. So the other day I loaded up a save with Eintract Trier in the German Regionalliga Suedwest (the fourth tier), with all fake players. It's hard work but it's fun and refreshing. I can't just buy whatever players I want anymore I have to make do with what limited resources I have.
