Football Manager and ECHM

I've been playing the demo version of ECHM and am enjoying it very much. (Having a problem purchasing the full version but that's another story.) It's very similar to CM. From what I've read about the new Football Manager, It sounds like it will have some great features, including media reports and player agents. I wonder if Markus will ever include player agents and a robust media in OOTP. I think it could be fun if one of your players was respresented by Scott Boros or you had to deal with player morale after they have read trade rumors in the newspaper.

Over on the SI boards I created a thread called "Will FM05 include an option to not get fired?" That's a feature of OOTP Baseball that I feel would really, really enhance CM/FM, especially for those of us who just want to take a long-term approach to building a team.

I was playing CM for a long time before I discovered OOTP Baseball, and I think the latter has features that make it superior to CM in several ways.

The new OOTP will have a decent media element as I know this is something that Markus wants to enhance in the new version, he's got full access to all the source code for our previous titles and I've already been discussing an 'overview' of possible ways he might approach it (how he actually implements things is entirely up to him, part of my role is to offer advice from my experience as a developer).

Hope this helps,

Marc

How exactly do you purchase the "Full" version of ECHM if you have already downloaded the trial version?

There are two downloads, one is a 'normal' demo and has no purchase ability, the other is the 'softwrap' demo which has the facility to be purchased and turned into a full game.

If you haven't already (and you don't want to get the game at retail/mail order) then I'd suggest downloading the softwrap version - purchasing using it is pretty straightforward.
