This thread has been linked to the game 'Football Manager 2005'.
Is dangerously addictive, almost impossibly deep, and is a truly marvellous management spectacle.
It is also frustrating beyond words, often truly ridiculous and is a cause of premature mental instability.
I love Football Manager '05

Hehe. Well, I could give you some webspace on my site, but it's got a pretty crappy title. You got MSN?
Thinking of setting up a blog type thing... With images. But then, with different categories from different users.
Possibly also written in CW as a weekly press, as posting too often would p*** off everyone.
Like the idea?

Pfft.
Pitiful to the 57 in 42 Fernando Torres got for me in my Atletico Madrid game. His value escalated from £25,000,000 to £43,500,000 in about 3 months.
Also, right now in my game with Boca Juniors, Carlos Tevez is on course for a similar feat. The problem with him, however, is that he's quite injury prone. Loads of clubs want him as well, and seeing as they're all offering about £6,000,000 (which is pitiful seeing as he's going to be worth about three times as much as that in a year), I've had to turn down offers. This makes him unhappy. Which sucks. I know I'm eventually going to have to get rid of him, but I ain't budging until I get a respectable offer (£15,000,000 or over).
I'm going to actually try and get £5,000,000 plus Riquelme from Barcelona. He hates Barcelona right now, but I've got a feeling I won't be able to afford his wages, which sucks.

Words cannot describe how good my team is playing right now.
Coin - Do you remember when you said you were thinking of making a diary thing for FM2005? Well, I was just thinking about doing a short one that just explains how I managed to come 2nd last season and all of the other things that happened last season.
The problem is, I don't remember so if I was to do a diary type thing i'd have to start at the beggining of the season and note down all of the interesting things that happen and all of my teams results.
It sounds good, but I can't do it right now as im half way through my second season.
If I was to do it i'd probably post it in the Creative Writing forum and hopefully get me a GAD. :D (Cause im greedy like that)

Good old 4-4-2, long ball.... mwhaha

By far.
CM5 ain't got nothing on FM... (All the CM's, apart from the new one, CM5, were developed by Sports Interactive... Who split with Eidos, who own the name "Championship Manager", and then joined forces with the wonderful SEGA to create... Football Manager. But you probably already knew that.)
And it sticks to the law of games... The worse the name, the better the game.

It sure is.
I'll start back on it soon, leading Sheffield Wednesday to yet another Premiership title with the CL to go with it.
Fernando Torres leading from the front.
Ace.

No, I have the demo, and I like the new features I've found so far - I was concerned though, that it might chug along like a snail towing a tortoise, but I'm relatively happy that I won't have too many problems, I mean my PC is hardly Jurassic, bt the last CM I had didn't half get slow after a season or two.
As for spare time, well I guess I can clear my schedules over the next week, before I get a copy...
