Matthew Le God Posted 18 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 October, 2009 So.... how long has david jones been a fan favourite then ??? Since Chris Nicholl left in 1991 we have had 16 managers. I'm sure you can agree Jones is one of the most popular of those 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 18 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Sorry, what does Vanilla & Strawberry mean? Vanilla is a very simple version of the demo. It does not have many leagues, no club badges, player photos etc etc. Strawberry is the glossy and nice version with all included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
these things take time Posted 18 October, 2009 Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Is there any difference between the Strawberry demo and the full game, apart from how long you can play it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 18 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Is there any difference between the Strawberry demo and the full game, apart from how long you can play it for? The strawberry demo only has about 8 nations with playable leagues compared to over 50 on the full game. The demo game is a "quickstart" game which is basically a savegame on a small database. As it is a "savegame" it means things like computer manager shortlists and PA's for players are the same each time you start a demo game. On the full game this will not be the case and you can have a far bigger player database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 18 October, 2009 Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Yep, otherwise we'd have Ted Bates commenting on player signings from beyond the grave. Trippy... Nathan Tyson is tearing up League One for me at the moment, he's got 10 in 8. Not bad for someone that only cost 300k! I guess that the full game will use the same database that the demo does, so he'll still be on the transfer list MLG? Gave Hull a good run for their money in the LC as well, only lost on penalties because Saga skied his one. Would be first in the league if it wasn't for those bloody -10 points as well! Sigh..

Matthew Le God Posted 18 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Ok, explain to me how he is a fan favourite then ??

Matthew Le God Posted 18 October, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 October, 2009 So you HAD to pick two then ?? No I didn't. I agree with you that Jones is low down on the list compared to the others and its easy to question the ones low down on it. I used him because he was a popular manager in Saints recent history and is in the database still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Samuel Posted 19 October, 2009 Share Posted 19 October, 2009 The Legends, Icons and Favoured Personnel all seem pretty accurate to me. Can't wait to buy the full version now, will probably go down to Game to buy it on that Friday morning, can't risk having this postal strike making me have the game late!

Thedelldays Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 having played the demo..i think this is the best yet......navigating around the icon can be annoying but will get used to that.... this game (imo) is light years ahead of it competitors... the 'create a tactic' is a good addition cant wait to get the full version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint stu 20 Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 i think its a good thing that theyve revamped the whole layout and made it with greater depth. was starting to get bored of the older versions and am glad im not going to be playing an updated version with the same layout. all signs are pointing to the best fm yet! the little added touches like game philopshy and player press conferences are a good touch!

Crab Lungs Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 Couldn't get into the demo however I look forward so much to the 'add leagues' in competition editor. I think I am correct in saying that you can play right down to level 24 of the English football pyramid should you wish to - OK, that will mean you won't have many real players unless you retain the whole database but how could it would be playing as Romsey, Totton etc... :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 20 October, 2009 Share Posted 20 October, 2009 When under the tactics screen you click view, it posts up loads of info, including sorting players into free kick taking order, corner kicks etc etc, why not penalty taking ??

Our squad looks pretty strong and with a decent tranfer budget for once there shouldn't be a problem signing a back up 'keeper, right back, midfielder and striker to improve.
