Average Rating: 8/10 Hits: 980 Submitted: Nov 6, 2007
Here you can find various articles giving first impressions of FM Live, the massively multiplayer online football manager game from Sports Interactive.
These articles will include screenshots and analysis of the BETA versions of FM Live.
I remember a while extolling my opinions on why FML would fail. it would be the biggest mistake that SI was about make.
Ooooooops.
I would like to apologise to all at SI for the comments I made before.
It's great. It's addictive. It's the best thing since I discovered CM all those years ago on the Amiga.
It's starting to look like an FM game, play like an FM game and even feel like an FM game.
What with the finances, transfers and game play all now coming together it's looking good.
The league structures are simple - promotion, relegation, cups.
You complain when your top striker gets injured, you cheer when he breaks his scoring duck.
Tactically it's more difficult than FM is, you have to tweak all the time to find the perfect setup for your squad - home and away.
Financially you have to be more astute, even the bank can stop you from buying a player you need that can save the defence.
As for custom content - you can create your own team logo, select the kit in the way you want it - this means that there will be new section on most sites for people creating custom logo's for people.
With the way the league's work you can now play and beat all the people you want to.
I've played Ov Collyer, Miles Jacobson, Scott Harwood from SI, even people from other FM sites - including our very own Mase and Dan - people who I chat to all the time about FM on MSN but have never played an FM game with.
This is about uniting the scene and the people on it - this is probably the way we will see FM changing over the next few years - some of the features coming into FML have never been seen on any FM game yet.
Get it - subscribe to it when it comes out - trust me, you'll all be surprised at how good it really is.
Seriously folks, this is one of the best MMO games out there with more interaction than the rest of them put together.
I thought i would never be swayed by it, but now I am logged on for 5 hours a day while I'm doing other things checking on transfers, games, my league, my opponents as well as other things they are fiddling with - even the chat room function is amazing.
Trust me when I say that I will be subscribing to this one.
