Football Manager 2007

[Dan]

New Screenshots released!

I don't usually get hyped over FM but this is looking really smart.

That does look pretty cool. Not a huge change from 2006, but the subtle changes are nice. I like the spider diagram (that is the name, right?) of a players attributes.

[King Ellis]

Y'know when you look at what someone else is doing and think "Huh, that looks cool. I could go for some of that."?

Y'know when you look at some of the guys in this thread and their tales of taking over San Marino and training their players at club level to be awesome?

Y'know when you look at England whooping Andorra 5-0 and think "I could turn them around, no problems."?

You know things haven''t started too well when you sign 13 odd players from Andorra for your Cambridge United side and get criticised by the Andorran press (that's right, the guy in his basement who prints off his little dirt rag) for picking only your club players in your first squad.

You know things haven't started too well when those 13 odd players get whooped 4-1 in their first game.

And you certainly know things haven't started too fucking well when this happens:

ELLIS FTW.

Damn you Dan, I thought you'd posted in the FM2006 topic.

My statement still stands.

So, 19-0 eh? How's that working out for ya?

[King Ellis]

Apparently a lot of players got 1 ratings. One of the Andorran journalists quizzed me on why I 'signed' my goalkeeper too, which was odd.

[Steeb]

This looks so damn good thus far. Interested in the 'Player Interaction' thing, as well as the Domestic Player Bias stat - can't wait to get a 0 for that baby >_>

[Lord Nibbler]

I'm going to name my first born German Canal.

The scouting system in '07 looks so much better. Sending scouts out before was a gamble, considering half the time they'd either come back with nothing, or tell you to that Ronaldinho/Ibrahimovic/Henry would be a good signing.

The detail they give on players looks great, a lot more like an actual scout report. Helps you work out whether a) they're good and b) whether they'd fit into your team.

Also, being able to see some info about a club before you pick them at the start of a game is handy. Especially if you're playing a network game and you want to have teams of a similar ability/financial status.

You can change the experience you as a manager has had when starting a new game too which could be cool and stop the generic "Team hires rookie coach" everytime you start a game.

[Lineker]

I've been talking to someone on another board who was approved to be a beta tester, I've heard nothing but good reports. Apparently, this can be 'the' best ever football management sim.

I won't be getting it, I'd never work.

[Dan]

He's like the only person who has been approved then..

[Dan]

If they put it in it's not cheating

[IAceI]

What's interesting about Ellis' screenshot, even if it's 06 is that nearly 60,000 people turned up for that match

[Steeb]

They need to add the ability to give pre-match talks.

I'm sick of losing to lesser teams because of complacency.

At least that's what I blame it on.

[Dan]

I'm sure that's possible in '07.

I read it somewhere I think.

[Steeb]

It had better be.

Kerpwnsmashing Arsenal, then losing to Watford, is the suck.

[Thomas]

I hope it's not in the game to 'fix' bad results, because you'd always beat teams worse than you.
