Anyone played much of the FM2006 demo yet?

Played four games so far with mixed results.

So far, have signed the following for Barnsley.

Permanent:

Bobby Zamora (West Ham)
Jay Bothroyd (free)
Fred Daems (Belgian international left back - Borussia Moenchengladbach)
Tony Popovic (Crystal Palace)
Lee Morris (Leicester)
Neil McCann (Southampton)

Loan:

Calum Davenport (Spurs)
Patrick Cregg (Arsenal midfielder)
Kenwyne Jones (Southampton)
Quincy Owusu-Abeyie (sp?) (Arsenal)

One or two errors in the game with it being a beta demo, but it's not bad.

 

Its alright i suppose...

the half time team talk thing gets to me though...but other than that, its not bad.</p>

 

RE: Its alright i suppose...

Why does it get to you?

I must admit I'd like to know what effect it has on the players, if any.

 

Where did you download it from mate?

 

Its just something that gets to me...

dunno why, i just don't like it...</p>

I also signed Bobby Zamora, along with Les Ferdinand and Gerry Taggart. Had a shocking start to the season, so went back to FM2005 and haven't gone back since.</p>

 

It's on the sigames website pal.

 

The Link is on this site somewhere...

 

I started badly too...

Swindon home: 2-2
Yeovil away: 2-3
Scunny home: 0-1

But then battered Tranmere 3-0 away, two for Zamora.

It takes your players a while to get used to your tactics and formation, I always start badly and then normally recover. My CD drive's knacked so it's the only thing I can play ff

 

I just don't like the changes they've made...

i'll still get it though and play it to death!

How long does it take to d/load?</p>

 

Not long at all mate

By the way, cheers for yesterday, had a quality time! Not many funnier guys round than you, Chris and Martyn ff (Y)

Just a shame about the reason we actually went to Burnley in the first place!

 

No

Still on FM2005, just basking in the glory of knocking Arsenal out of the UEFA Cup

 

Well..I've downloaded the fecker...

...im fecked if I know how to get a job!! only one available is Hilston and I cant even get that!

Did not have fm2005 btw but it seams to be incredibly slow for a game that looks no different to some I had on my zx spectrum in 1986.

I must be doinbg something wrong...or am I??

 

You need to add yourself as a manager...

to a club of your choice before the game starts. A screen will appear asking you to enter your name and details etc, and then you select a club.</p>

As for slow running, mine is ok. Depends on the PC i suppose</p>

 

realistic then?

Just like my life

 

OK..team picked..nnow how do I play??

FFS...hardly self explanatory

 

At the top of the page...

there will be a list of options, think one says Manager etc etc. This will provide sub headings of (Team Name), Player Search etc etc. Press on your team name, will bring up your team, then on the left has sub sections of tactics training etc.</p>

Just play with it, its easy once you get used to it. Then when you've done all you wanna do press continue in the bottom right corner, you'll get to a game eventually...</p>

 

I've done all I wanted..

signed a player, picked the squad, read the news etc etc

How do I get to play a game???

Only way so far is to **** off on holiday!

 

Keep pressing continue...

you'll get to a game eventually.

 

Is it just me... or cant you save it??

Played 2 friendlies.. and it was greyed out :s
