After reading that blumineauxnoir I'm sticking to the old versions. There are 2 versions of FM you can play. Full - Where you get ALL the player moaning, and control of all aspects of the club. Touch - This is a stripped back version, with hardly any player interaction, and less control over club affairs. I always play the Full version, as there are things in the Touch version I have no control over, and I like to be able to make wholesale changes throughout the club I`m managing. There are good interactions in the Full game, but the constant player moaning is so overpowered, and they`ve shown no signs of wanting to change it, which makes me think it`s only so frequent, as to try and provide some kind of obstacle for players who can win everything when managing Guiseley or Maidenhead.

Had to bump this, as surely Alan Shoulder made a typo here ?!
"championship manager 92 the best manager game ever, even better than 01 imo.
I knocked up some hours playing that game and, of course, Sensible Soccer."
CM92 better than CM01/02 ?! Surely not !? I thinkCM93-94 was my first one in the series, and I played that game for years, but CM01-02 was leaps and bounds ahead of it.
Couldn`t get into Sensible Soccer at all, the way you`d dribble with the ball, and if the player lost it, they`d both go in opposite directions, would drive me insane !
Anyone still playing FM24 ? I see they`ve now abandoned it, and moved into FM25, they`re such a shady company, they all need sacking.

The 1992 version of Championship Manager was shocking.
Small divisions, crappy graphics and match engine, no real player names.
Stands to reason it was Alf's favourite game as we now know he's regularly whacked off his head on LSD.

At this stage it's just embarrassing.

Summer 1984, the first time I saw the original football manager game. Me and my girlfriends brother played it all night.
67 seasons in the 2018 version. All games played as full games. Mangotsfield challenging for the play offs in L1. 8 players on loan. Gates up from 300 to 3000. Youth team is rubbish. Stadium capacity of 5800 means we'll probably never survive in the championship

67 seasons is some going ! AND with every match on full ? I struggle to get past 2-3 seasons, as mentioned on a previous page.
Have the 2018 version, but tend not to go back to the older ones, when I get a new one. FM21 is the latest I have, but just can`t get into it, and haven`t played it this year. I did want to try FM16, but found everything SO small on a big screen TV and even maxing everything out, I could still barely read what was there. Doesn`t seem to be a large font skin for it either.

On the amiga I played so many seasons that it stopped having players in teams like Barcelona and Juventus they were all greyed out and unbuyable lol I do know that Carlisle never ever got promoted from the non league part in all my time playing it, the reason why the sites wumming wankstain doesn't really like it, no doubt.

Interesting you say about Carlisle never being promoted, as I can`t recall having a single save on that game with them !

No, they were never in the league because the divisions were all set at 20, so quite a few teams were missing, Carlisle being one of them but at the end of the season a team used to get promoted up but in 50+ seasons Carlisle never managed it.

I remember it was structured that way, and some teams weren`t included, if only it had a pre-game editor back then !
I think the initial version of that game, took about 2 hours at the end of the season to update, so trying to keep reloading to bring us up, would have taken a LOT of time. There was an update to the game, that then reduced that time to about 15 minutes at the end of each season, that saved SO much time !

Ooooh ! Mr Amstrad, with his superior 64k of power, and colour monitor, lording it up over us Spectrum users, and our rubber keys ! Tried that Amiga emulator earlier, but couldn`t get it to work, and I was itching to play some CM 93-94, and the 4-3-3 direct formation.

The Double manager game. Liked it so much that when it got nicked I bought it again. Soccer Boss too.
I started a game back in January and got sacked in my first job after two conference seasons then had to wait two years for another offer and proceeded to take a tin pot team to L1 in three seasons but got a bit bored and haven't been on it for about six weeks.
