Mentor Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am not sure if you guys noticed, but the new version is already on pre launch sale now on steam! Every damn year i say i am not going to buy the next version, but i pretty much fail. There will be some draft option for creating leagues in this one, which sounds like something very interesting for online leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyosullivan Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'll be buying it. I get the new version every year, only series I know I'll get my moneys worth out of playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniConor Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'll get it, hopefully wont be as bad as fm2015 when that launched. It took them several updates to sort that rubbish out, but now its a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I feel recent versions are not major improvements any more, however they are getting better slightly with each edition. What i would love to see is a much faster game, It takes ages to sim in between games, i think 40-50% of the time you end up looking at the screen waiting for the next game to come up or for the off season to start.

kornflakes Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Maybe they should let it have a 64-bit version so it can use more RAM for simming and such. Or maybe it's just an issue of the processor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted December 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 So has anyone bought this? What are your first impressions? I have been reading around various reviews and i am not sure it is really worth paying the extra money for this. The new features (such as the custom leagues and interviews etc) do not cut it for me. What about the speed of the game? Is it any faster? I mean do you still have to wait for ages until the next game comes up? What about the "go on holiday mode" is that improved or changed in any way? In previous versions i would often skip some of the easier games using that mode, but often the computer would not rotate correctly or i would come back to a squad which was unhappy because the assistant coach would fine a player or something.

markyosullivan Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I get the game every year because honestly I don't think there's a game out there that I get better value for money for. I've currently got a save where I'm Cheltenham and I've already got them promoted from the conference south and now working on getting them promoted to League 2. Prior to my success at Cheltenham, I was going to be sacked at Albion Rovers in Scotland, FC Gute in Sweden and some small club in Norway.

bjornmma1 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Â It's a good improvement, not sure if it's a big improvement. Every year it's a toss-up for me if I will buy it or not. Most of the time it's just pretty much only an updated database and some minor improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydebankblitz Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I've probably still played more time playing LMA 2004 than any other game ever, but never game FM a go. Got a couple of games I'l like to try out, WMMA for example, but it's hard to justify paying 30-60 quid for a sim game over 15 quid for every single Bioshock game.

I can't comment on the speed of the game because I got a new PC to play FM 16 on. I don't use the "go on holiday" mode often, only if I'm unemployed.

If it cost me £30 (I think I got it reduced) I would have paid 3.75 pence for every hour I played the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Telltale's The Walking Dead to LMA 2004 but the time played is nothing similar. A game with actual live gameplay, online potential, an engaging story etc. is just that much more to me than a simulation game. They are just a bit overpriced I reckon. If they dropped their old versions down they would be much more justifyable. FM 2015 should be 15-20 euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they did something to enhance that in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have been reading up on a LOT of reviews and i came to the conclusion the parts of the game that i actually care about, have barely been touched. The only improvements which i would consider is the improved financial model, improved AI in regards to squad building and the better match engine, however from what i have read, all of those are only marginal improvements that most people have not really noticed as being improved.
