Tesla Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 New thread instead of continuing the FM14 thread.Where have others bought this from, GMG VIP has it US$38 and I have a $2 credit so $36 but that's more than I've paid others years plus the AUD is shit right now. Tempted to use one of the CD key websites, especially the ones with RU keys you have to activate through a VPN for like $US20, but not sure if it's worth the risk.

GreenSeater Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Went out and bought it in physical form from EB games for $60 on launch day as I do every year. Started a Melbourne City career, currently 3rd in the league about 2 weeks ahead of now. Also in the semi final of the FFA Cup. Sold Germano day 1 after he requested to leave, brought in Kim Dong-Jim a Korean LB from Muangthong to take the final visa spot and brought in former Borussia Mönchengladbach and North Queensland Fury LB/LM Chris Tadrosse from Bonnyrigg White Eagles to take up the final squad place. Mate Dugandzic has been my best player so far with 7 goals in 9 matches and was player of the month for October. Andrew Redmayne did a hernia in preseason so Tando Velaphi stepped up as number 1 and is yet to lose his spot due to his great form. Highlights so far have been my 3-2 win in the first derby and my 5-0 pumping of the Mariners. My biggest lowlight was a 6-3 loss to Brisbane Roar. tl;dr JVS out, GreenSeater in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Update: won the FFA Cup with a 3-0 win over Brisbane in the final. For some reason I got an ACL place out of that so I'm pretty happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviant Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 what are the main attributes that you look for in the player you recruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Obviously different for each position, but it's just whatever I feel is the absolute most important for each role. My forwards have good finishing and composure, and then pace strength and positioning etc are secondary stats that are important too. I also use my scouts opinions on each players potential ability a lot, particularly amongst young kids like Byrne and Mohannad Abdul Raheem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 GreenSeater, you getting many crash dumps lately? (possibly since the last update). Â I got 3 in the last 3-4 hours of playtime and had probably only had one previous to that since the game came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I haven't had any since the update actually, but I only updated yesterday as I haven't had an internet connection for my laptop in a couple of weeks. I had one crash before the update though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Barely played FM15, but they'll get me again for FM 16. Always some new feature you've been waiting years for added. Dynamic rivalries this time, fuck almost dynamic everything now, so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Got FM16 today. Interesting new feature is Create a Club mode. Feel like they could have done a lot more with it tbh, you essentially replace any team in the game, change the logo name colours stadium etc, but the finances and stuff all remain the same. Thinking of returning Melbourne City to Melbourne Heart and winning the league in red and white 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I don't remember the last time I hadn't bought an FM on preorder or shortly after release. Pretty busy until I go away so haven't bothered, might get it for on the plane. Edited November 16, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to try the online fantasy draft mode if/when I get my hands on the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Well season 1 is a wrap. Finished the season in 1st place and ended up losing on penalties to Adelaide United in the semi-final. Mooy finished as League player of the year and Corey Gameiro csme 3rd in the golden boot, beating Williams' club record of most goals in a season by 1 with 13 goals. My starting XI for the semi-final was this: 4-2-4 Wide GK: Sørenson RB: Franjic CB: Kisnorbo CB: Hughes LB: Clisby CM: Mooy CM: Melling RW: Novillo LW: Oikonomidis ST: Gamiero ST: Mullins Bench: Velaphi Zullo Mauk Paartaluu Williams I sold Koren at the start of the season after West Ham offered 200k for him, I replaced him with Andrija Kaludjerovic, the former Brisbane striker. Kaludjerovic and Fornaroli took turns in playing absolutely shite up front with all my goals coming from midfield. I ended up dropping them both for Gamiero, and they cracked the shits and complained a lot to the media. I ended up paying out Kaludjerovic's contract in January after he demanded to be sold and ended up freezing Fornaroli out as he was starting to effect the morale of the squad. At the start of the season I also signed Chris Oikonomidis, the young Aussie winger from Lazio for 1.3 million. He went on to win the league young player of the year award and pretty much dominate. I also signed Patrick Mullins from New York City on a loan, he scored 8 goals in 8 starts so I'm trying to make the deal permanent. So essentially when the club finally sacks JVS they are welcome to give me a call. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) What did people pay? Picked it up the last few years for under 30$, maybe a bit more last year. But seems it hasn't been that cheap this year, on sale for £20 in tesco which is a bit more than $40 apparently the cheapest it's been anywhere from what I've heard?

Embee Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bought it a few weeks back, have only put about an hour or two into just browsing around and feeling out the new menus etc. Wasn't super keen at first but downloaded this skin (http://www.fmscout.com/a-vitrex-fm16-skin.html) and am pretty pleased with the way it all looks.

But there were issues with squad registrations. Because some of the youngsters weren't on youth contracts, because I couldn't include them in the 23-man squad, they would have to be released as a result. Did the same happen to you? For example, Callum Richardson, Espindola, Cristaldo, Marino aren't on youth contracts so they'd have to be released by mutual agreement cos I haven't registered them into the squad.

The main issue for me is the inability to correctly sign a marquee. The only people you can sign on marquee contracts are players offered by their agents and requesting a marquee contract. Until this is fixed I wont be doing an A League career. Currently trying out the Create-a-Club again, using the australian lower leagues editor file and trying to get my local side to the Asian Champions League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Anyone played the Beta for FM 2017? Finding the day to day stuff a lot easier to not be bored of with the amount of ancillary stuff they've put around football. Also seems like your interactions with players has improved markedly.
