So, is FM 2007 worth $4?

[GlennN]

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

I don't see any patches for Football Mogul here - can I ask where you found 5.180? Thanks!

Right here.

You can search for the patches. They're easy to locate that way.

I downloaded 2007 to introduce me to the mysteries of FM, and am enjoying it, immensely - and all that I'm doing right now is holding "scrimmages"! (to check out which plays work for my "sign-up" (hint; hint) team, and which,don't).

The only drawbacks, so far, are that, in play-by-play mode, the game, at the end of the 1st quarter, at times, suddenly sims the rest of the game, taking it out of my hands.

Neither can I get the running game going...is it me?...my personnel? ...a bug?

I will have to work on my demo 2010 to make sure that it doesn't have the same problems, ere I buy the full version

Got a copy at Big Lots for $6. Can't say it was worth it, and nothing I saw in it would make me purchase another version of it. Problems I had;

1. For some reason the AI had a tendency to replace all my skill position srarters with their subs late in the third or early in the fourth quarter. And would not let me put the starters back in. In several cases, I was in tight games and basically was handicapped. On a couple of occasions, it also did this for the other team.

2. Had a number of games where the AI started subs for the other team. Again, nothing on the roster for the other teams showing injuries to the starting players shown on their roster. Just didn't play them.

3. Running in the game is so ineffective for the most part I've pretty much stopped doing this except when trying to run off time on the clock.

Actually, most of the problems are on the pbp mode. And for me, I'm looking at the whole package, not just doing the GM side of things. Hate to say it, but I never thought I'd see a game which made the old "Season Ticket Football" game look good by comparison.

For $4 it might be worth it. At $6, I feel a bit ripped off.

Try the demo for 2010, as the A.I. is much improved. I did end up buying it the next time I went to Big Lots, and I really couldn't complain for $4 bucks.

The demo, though, is leaps and bounds above 2007. I probably won't buy it just because of my monetary issues and because I am just a casual football fan, but it really is a big improvement.

I was in your boat and bought football mogul for 4 bucks. It is.... interesting. Missing a lot of what I love about baseball mogul, but not bad for the price. Liked what I saw of the features being added for 2010 though
