What team were you managing? Surely the first 6 games were just friendlies?

No mate I skip friendlys, I was Sheffield Wednesday. I am a liverpool fan but going the big teams is too easy of fm.

Found this for you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/footballma...fm16_have_the_new_premier_league_sponsorship/

I'm on 31st May 2016 so not far off getting that notification. Will let you know if it doesn't happen.

Cheers fella very interested to see if it happens for you. In my defence I did try a cursory Google search but perhaps the phrasing was wrong as I did not get anything similar to your post.

Okay here is a can of worms being smashed all over the show.......just started playing as Chelsea and the director of football makes 4 or 5 tactical suggestions prior to each game such as dropping deeper or playing wider.

Is it better to consistently stick to one tactic or to change as he suggests. I can't help feel the ripple effect is massive in this edition and changing one minor element has a big impact. So perhaps it's better to keep the same set up?????

Also don't hate me for picking Chelsea

No probs. It took me a few searches before I found what I was looking for. I even searched the SI Forums a few times to see if anyone had asked if the new rights money was hardcoded into the game or not.

Can't help you here. You chose Chelsea.

Anyone has a torrent of the latest logo pack and face pack? Thanks

EDIT: Found face face torrent from Sourtitoutsi. Need the logos if possible. Thanks.

To be fair, Portsmouth is pretty much an "easy mode" team to manage given that in terms of club stature, you are essentially a Championship club that happens to be in L2.

You said it

Still a decent achievement but doesn't suggest easy game.

Used to be an FM fanatic and bought FM2015 but never really played it much. Is 2016 worth buying or is 15 still good enough?

Thanks

Can you only get torrents? I've got this logo pack, http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/3/metallic-logos, but its download only on Sortitout.

I managed to download them all eventually. Stopped playing already though.

Just picked this up on steam as it's on offer. Going to try out my beloved Newcastle before trying out Darlo / Gateshead

marshalex · 11 Feb 2016 at 12:52

Keep seeing offers for this appearing, very tempted as can play it on surface pro 3 while away. Not played the PC version since 2012 and lost significant amount of time to it... Worth buying at the current steam price (£17.49)?

I think it's one of the few games that's worth full RRP in terms of time consumed versus cost.

I'd definitely get it for £17.49 and give it an hour or so as you can always get a refund through Steam before the 2 hours of gameplay point.

It's official, in the few hours I've tried. I suck at this edition.

Going to have a good sit down with it this weekend.

Same. Don't have time to play though so I stopped after 2 half seasons.

where is the best place to get the Sortitoutsi mega facepack download guys? Is there somewhere faster to get the whole 7gb pack? It's taking me ages to download each 400mb part.

My last full play was with the 1997-98 season- although did have a go with approx 2000 version but it got a bit tedious so , basically, stopped.

About 4/5 weeks ago , son was staying with us and noticed that he was being even more anti-social than usual , as all his spare time was taken up on his phone (not making calls or texting) - turned out he was/is playing FM 2016 and it made me think- worthwhile to buy?

To cut a long story short my club are/were selling copies signed by the manager for £30 but suddenly dropped the price to £20 so took the plunge.

Excellent game - much more involved than the 1997 version - am wasting (according to my wife) lots of time but would certainly recommend

TonyTurbo78 · 14 Feb 2016 at 22:00

and this is why I fell out of love with FM over the years..Injuries every god damn match and it's always 3+ month injuries, I'm 3 games into the season, started with clean bill of health, now I've 6 first team players out, very important players as well. Absolutely drives me mental.

Second season with Winbledon in league 1 after promotion first season.

8 games left I'm 8th. I then win 6, draw 1 to go 3rd last game of the season.

I need to win, Plymouth need to lose Barnsley draw/lose and I'm up automatically.

89th minute I'm winning, Plymouth are losing, Barnsley are 2-1 down.... I'm up!!!!

Or not.

Barnsley score twice in extra time and I'm consigned to the play offs! Noooo fuuuuuuu!!!!!

Won the semi final against Oxford my bogey team.

Lost 1st leg 1-0 at their place then smashed them 5-1 at home after destroying kemar Roofe who had 6 goals in 3 games against me previously

Final against Colchester left!

No1newts · 27 Feb 2016 at 18:54

Losing 1-0 after 10mins, 1-1.
Losing 2-1 after 46mihs, 2-2.
Winning 3-2 on 90th minute, 3-3.
Win 4-3 and up to the championship!!!
