So, is FM 2007 worth $4?

[free2131]

Found a boxed Football Mogul 2007 today at Big Lots for $4 and was wondering if it was worth the purchase. I've heard some negative things about it, but since I am a casual football fan versus a fanatic baseball fan, I thought I might could enjoy the simulation style of it.

So, yea or nea?

(BTW, I liked the name "Sports Tycoon". Any reason we have "Sports Mogul" for BBM?)

[ohms_law]

$4? Sure, why not?

Anyway, where are you getting "Sports Tycoon" from? As far as I know Clay specifically fought against using the Tycoon "brand". That makes me wonder if what you're seeing is (real) pirated software...

For $4, I would go for it. I'm a casual football fan myself and started with 2008. I liked it enough that I bought 2009 and am looking forward to the next version.

Well, I checked for the "Enlight" logo and found it, so I just assumed that is was a way to sell FM to those who liked the Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, ect. Big Lots is usually pretty good about not selling illegit stuff.

I'm not sure if I'm getting out that way today, but I'll try to get a pic of it and post it.

EDIT: Here, I found a pic of the exact box online.

I found it at Big Lots for $4. It was worth the $4. I think that's where I found an older BM for $4 also.

THere is a few bugs and I had the life expectancy of players, but it's well worth $4.

Those who voted no, could you give any reasons as to why?

[michaelg123789]

Yes

[CatKnight]

Really can't go wrong for $4...

Just bought the game at Big Lots myself. I actually looked at the game box for like the past three months before I broke down and bought the game. I figured that playing as a manager rather than a coach would not be all that much fun. Dang if I ain't having more fun trading players than actually playing the games (sometimes). Looking forward to the 2010 version this fall. I hope it will be released in some of the retail markets.

So, my CD loads a version 5.100. Is there a later version of the 2007 game, or was 5.100 the latest release?

I'm still looking mind you. Just thought someone might be able to answer the question and point me to a download link.

[EDIT] - Nevermind. I located an Unofficial Patch version 5.180. That should satisfy me until August

[etothep]

hope you didn't waste your $4 free

[free2131]

I'm pretty sure that's a pirated version.

Wouldn't surprise me. Another post on the forum pointed it out to me.

I don't really begrudge 4 bucks, though. I've spent 10 times more on games I've played much less than FM.

[Josh123123123]

$4 for a 2007 version? Could go either way, but $4 for a piece of junk?
2007? Live in the future?

[GlennN]

Evidently, it ain't worth it no more.

Football Morgul 2007 is available for free.

Dang it! Done went and spent my 4 bucks.

[edit] Please don't get me wrong. I still say it was worth 4 bucks, and I'm definitely going to get the 2010 version when it gets released, unless I find out there will be no 2010 version, in which case I'll be getting FM 2009.

Love the game!

If this is being left up on Football Mogul's own site, can we not conclude this link is approved by the Administrator? I have never tried Football Mogul, mostly due to poor reviews, but I am going to download 2007 from this link and give it a shot. If I like it, then I would certainly consider buying the 2010 version. If this is a pirated link, then I will immediately delete the game from my hard drive - I am very anti-piracy (it ended the Eastside Hockey Manager series).
