My estimation of Fixxxer rises

My estimation of Necro plummets.

If I had to choose, I know who Im picking to off in future games between those two.

I always assumed he was a United fan due to his actions in the United forum.

It could be worse, he could be a Pool fan

Ive been saying it for years.

If in doubt, kill Necro.

:pac::pac: I post in the United thread enough (mainly cos it's fun though), I don't have a dislike for United at all since years ago (I kinda miss it actually

).

But nope was endoctored into the Arsenal brigade by my cousins as a young chap (think I was 2 when they shoved a jersey on me).

I know... I really miss those times, was an amazing time to be a fan of either club

When football was real. Not about likes and social media presence, but about flinging pizza in stadium tunnels.

I agree, the quality of this thread has taken a nose dive, quit it, you'll scare people away.

Hmm..and we've a PL game planned for next year.

sKeith · 11-01-2019 03:54PM

I remember playing micropose soccer and enjoying it, then i move onto sensible soccer, it was fun for a while too, my next toe dipping was pro evolution soccer, i think i played a demo of fifa soccer but didnt like what they presented in the demo, so never bought it.

See, i don't know nothing about soccer ;D

pro evo did use correct names either. you could have a good guess at who they were copying.

I spent hours editing both games, thank god FIFA got good.

Necro · 11-01-2019 04:17PM

Was always a FIFA guy myself, remember playing 98 on the Mega Drive with my mates.

Dad would come up and he learned how to commit a professional foul and spammed it when he didn't have the ball :pac:

Drove my mates mental but it was comical as games would end up either being abandoned or with about 8 players on both sides due to injuries/red cards.

Surprisingly he'd win a bit too if he didn't lose via forfeit of players being sent off

Ah, memories.

Ah, memories.

Was FIFA all teh way until ISS started to evolve. FIFAs game play was way behind ISS. When ISS moved to PES on the PS2, it was way ahead of FIFA in terms of looks and gameplay despite not having real names (though it had a few).

FIFA got its act together around 2010 and has been my number 1 since then.

Im still a Football Manager guy anyway

Baggly · 11-01-2019 04:52PM

No way. Do you have FM19?

Necro · 11-01-2019 04:52PM

Ah Football Manager. I have spent probably thousands of hours on that game in total. Love it, don't play as much any more though. Too busy playing here :pac:

I bought the mobile verison, which is a slimmed down version of the game. I dont have time for the full game at home with the little one. The stepson loves the full versions though, he has 19.

The game engulfs you.

Havent bought the full verrsion since FM14.

Baggly · 11-01-2019 04:59PM

Lol i dont have time either. Only started my second season there last week despite 'playing' since it launched in Nov.

Dont think i have a mobile or tablet good enough to run mobile version! Ah well, such is growing old and having kids.

I got to the 2070s on one version, FM12 or 13 before the file got corrupted. That was the last time I was really involved in it. I just kept going with that one instead of getting new ones until it gave up. I've tried some of the newer ones but found it tough to get back into it.

Necro · 11-01-2019 05:01PM

I got the full version of FM 18 for Christmas last year (2017) and I'm still worming my way through I think only my third season tbh.

beakerjoe · 11-01-2019 05:04PM

Its a time consuming game and you need time to deicate to it in order to be successful at it.

Nothing better than finding a wonder kid and paying next to nothing for him.

Yeah, I love the initial stages of taking over a new club. Looking at the coaching staff, making changes and trying to be the best(within budget) in the league in all the areas.

I've been sacked a couple of times for complaining when the board won't give me more coaching positions :pac:

fixXxer · 11-01-2019 05:07PM

I ain't got the time for it anymore but I used to love Football Manager, all the way back to the Championship Manager days.

These days I get 30 minutes for Smash bros on the bus if I'm lucky!

Kolido · 11-01-2019 05:08PM

Championship manager 96 I think was the first one I played. Batistuta was a goal scoring machine.

beakerjoe · 11-01-2019 05:12PM

Freddy Adu FTW

Champo 98 was when I got roped in.......... or if Im being honest, Premier Manager 95 on the Mega Drive, the LMA Manager.

Yeah I remember playing one on the MD also. Cant remember the name, player manager maybe.

11-01-2019 05:23PM

The last one i played was when Ronnie Johnson was a beast, it was definitely a championship manager not sure of yhe year
