People remember only the good points if they thought the game was actually great at the time. It's easy to look at old games with rose tinted glasses, we only remember the good points, but in reality CM 01/02 is not even on the same level as the FM series, at least not if you are serious about football managing games Perhaps that's why it's so favourable amongst the rushers who are so eager to get through seasons (why I have no idea) It was easy to exploit, it was easy to win, it was easy to finish seasons in a few hours. CM 01/02 had many bugs, it was very unrealistic in many areas, it was too shallow and the commentary was repetitive, but it was the best we had available back then so we knew no better It's easy for nostalgia to cloud a persons judgement. Saying a previous version is better gives people a justified reason for criticizing new games without being labelled trolls for doing so This is a good thread - its nice to read this and remember just how much I love the series, just a shame I can't put in as much hours as I used to. Its got me all thinking and I would love to go back and play 9798 now.Trouble is I need to get BootCamp set up and find an emulator to slow the processor down!.
I just found the gameplay for me made my preferred style of LLM too difficult during the CM3 series for some reason - I always used to start with Rochdale or Wigan Athletic in 9798 days! I'm never quite sure why.Ġ102 with the "super tactics" and things I never agreed with, though on the whole the game was enjoyable.
The series has evolved so much technically that I find the game easier to deal with and manage ingame than previous versions.
Not in the sense of enjoyment, but understanding the game.
I will take a look on my windows 98 PC sometime and give a list of some more quality playersĪs strange as it is, speaking about that "nostalgia often disappoints", I've always tend to find with previous series that as much as I loved 01 (my personal favourite), going back to them now is just unplayable for me. MC: Kennedy Barkigulahuishussiiepkfihfish (dont know his last name, looks something like that though, haha)įC: To Madiera (must buy, only about 20,000 as well)įC: Kevin Phillips (played well around that point in his career) Have your attacking midfielder run inbetween the strikers.ĭC: Imbrahim Said (or something along those lines, just type in Said) Have the the two wider midfield players run out towards the corner flags. Have your left back and right back run up to alongside the midfield. Some good players I can remember and tactics on CM0102:
