Going by the media prediction you get on the club info screen, it's at least a top 10 side when you start. Attendances don't shoot up massively, it's only hitting the Premier League that has seen my season ticket sales go from around 7000 to 29000.

These are my average attendances alongside league placing to get an idea:

who's the best strikers? i was thinking jackson and miller up top.

did you sign anyone?

ajsccfc · Dec 6, 2014

Playing Jackson as a lone forward, he scored around 120 league goals in about 200 and could have been the all-time record holder if I'd stayed around League One longer and he didn't need to be replaced.

I'm 3 games in to first season. got rid of Mcquoid and Coulibaly. Have Man U as my parent team and signed Will Keane.

Just been taken over by a consortium, and apparently Gary Mcallister might replace me :facepalm: #

But beat Bradford 1-2, Wolves 0-2 and Sheff UTD 1-0. So fighting for my job

ccfc92 · Dec 6, 2014

Survived the takeover

Beat Sunderland on pens in the 2nd round COC, and have only lost to Swindon so far.

Hopefully my promise to Fleck for promotion comes true.....

ccfc92 · Dec 7, 2014

The badges for Prem teams etc is a bit poor IMO.

Don't see why they use some teams badges and not others.

Very pro evo :thinking about:

ccfc92 · Jul 25, 2015

How's everyone getting on?

Thinking of starting a new game tomorrow, haven't really got far on this version :/

Any decent first signings etc for Cov anyone can recommend ?

Had a go at Leamington. That's... hard.

Midtable in the Conference was as good as it got!

So then tried Valencia. Easy to beat everyone bar Barcelona and Real. Got bored waiting for Messi to retire.

Now trying Huddersfield. Wells got 47(!) league goals to get us a surprise promotion then bogged off to Liverpool for £12mil. Next season we somehow stayed up and won the League Cup.

Helpful hint, get Everton as your senior affiliate, plenty of decent players.

Oh, and how could I forget I tried a game as CCFC. We won our first game 3-0 before a consortium led by Adam Pearson took over... and replaced me with Gary Megson:facepalm:

One whole game!

stupot07 · Jul 26, 2015

I'm halfway through my first season as CCFC, midtable, had no money for transfers or wages, a consortium then took over, kept me on as a manager but gave me no additional money - they won't let me increase the wage bill or pay any transfers, I need to sell before I can recruit. Typical. Managed to get Louis Baker on loan, no fee and no contribution towards wages.

City have the biggest transfer fee paid out, thanks SISU , more interestingly, Nuneaton have the 18th biggest stadium in England!

A few amusing comments underneath the piece too #bants

Deleted member 5849 · Aug 4, 2015

I especially like how 500,000+ people pack out certain grounds. Now that *would* stretch parking restrictions!

vow · Aug 4, 2015

City's rise in the 2030's and 40's is purely down to Pressley's "winning mentality" he instilled into the players all them years before, he laid the "foundation" if you will.

....washing cars, cleaning boots, checking each others piss, etc.

ccfc92 · Nov 1, 2015

Really looking forward to FM16. I hardly played 15 in the end. The starting at sixfields, just put me off.

Will definitely get into 16 more though

Any news on cheapest places to buy it?

ajsccfc · Nov 1, 2015

CDKeys, £23 for the download if you're fine to wait until the 13th and not bother with the beta.

ajsccfc · Nov 2, 2015

I bought it and signed Alessandro Del Piero. I have no idea how he'll fit in with the team, but it's Del Piero. Shirt sales alone.

To be honest, it's either my waning attention span or the fickle Sky Blue blood in my veins, but I can NEVER stay interested in a FM season...I end up getting 10-12 games in and the itch starts.

I'll give FM15 a go, but the sheer magnitude of getting my Sky Blues into the Prem' makes my head itch with frustration.

'The itch', as in, to restart a game out of boredom. Besides, I rarely get the free time to immerse myself in any game these days.

If I were a manager, I'd be Kevin fookin' Keegan, lad. lol

ccfc92 · Nov 4, 2015

I have this problem too. I'll get so far, and be like "if I sign them at the start...." or something, and just restart. Never get anywhere

Yep that's the one, haha, 'ooh if I had him at the start...fuggit, restart'. I'm the same with Pro Evo too, even though I've edited Cov' into the Championship, got the kits spot on and created the likes of Arma, Vincelot and the rest to go on the playing staff.

"Hmm, Vincelot's beard is the wrong colour...fuggit, restart".

Nathccfc · Nov 5, 2015

How is everyone getting beta access? Do you have to order it from a specific place? I've pte ordered mine, but I'm sort of expecting a beta code or something?

Nick · Nov 5, 2015

I think if you get it from ShopTo you get Beta, it depends where you buy it!

Shameless link for others - http://www.finditforless.co.uk/search/football-manager-2016

Nathccfc · Nov 5, 2015

I found out that it's only if you buy a digital copy! It's alright for people with a fast internet speed, but like me my speed is pretty poor as I cannot get fibre! I'm sure they used to provide a beta code for hard copies aswell!!

Cobi Jones's Dreads · Nov 22, 2015

Just started this today, looks decent so far. My only query is i'm certain a Cov fan is tasked to scout and provide stats and potential reports in order to make the stats for this game, so how on earth did they set up Bassala Sambou as a CB with 7 acceleration and 9 pace???

ajsccfc · Nov 24, 2015

I think physical attributes usually start low as they change more drastically as a young player leaves their teens. On mine he's around 15 pace now.

First season, predicted 11th in League One, went up as champs

Second season, predicted 24th in the Championship, finished third and went up via playoffs

Third season, predicted 20th in Premier League and started in that form before rallying, currently 7th in New Year:

And most importantly MAKING YOU ALL SMILE

Any one with FM16, do you know if you buy the game via DVD Disc, is there still a code you can put into steam and get the game downloaded? My laptop doesn't have a DVD Drive, and I don't have a portable one, and the online version costs almost double the £20 I have found the disc version for (thanks FindItForLess - don't have an account so doubt it helps you but it's helped me find it, well for less than anywhere else ha)

Ah, so it wasn't a typo then. Just a shop / site I've never heard of ha!

So to answer, I'm not sure if they do ha

sw88 · Dec 14, 2015

Looks like it's £30 there too for download.

Nick · Dec 14, 2015

Sorry was on my phone, will have a look later on

Nick · Dec 14, 2015

Do you have any computers in your house with a disc drive?
