Yes. I did my usual start off as Cardiff, fail, then start a game as the best team (Liverpool) and dominate.
Hours of fun
I've been playing the mobile version and I hate it.
Can we look forward to a 16 years of Football Manager quiz to while away the days sometime soon then?Quote:

1st impression was not great but then i bothered to read up on the training / tactics and get into it. Second attempt with Cardiff after giving up the first in Jan but now well into my second season after promotion and already done a few 3am finishes.
Cardiff squad is great, can easily get you promoted. Glatzel is a goal machine. No money but always value in having 6 loanees on the books :ayatollah:
I don't think I've got the patience to get into the training and tactics too deeply, it's so in depth these daysQuote:

Coincidentally I downloaded the PC demo last week to give it a try. I gave the assistant control of everything, played a friendly and haven't loaded it again since.
It just feels like such a chore to get going.
It’s free on steam until march 26th for PC or Mac
On a slightly different tangent, has anyone got X-Plane 11?Quote:

Currently learning how to start up and program an Airbus A320.
I enjoy it but it's a bit easyQuote:

I’m sure an American newspaper ran fictional reports on games during one of the baseball player strikes and they went down a storm with readers starved of real action.Quote:

To get any new players just go to player scouting > search. Then use simple stuff like "available for transfer" or "available for loan" or "free agent." If you wish to you can be way more in-depth with the advanced search option.
