FM 2007 Demo & Realease Date Info - Page 2

I've only messed around with it a little so far, but I don't mind the processing box, just that it gives game tips in it. I rather like the news and scores part of it though.

That's just what I've been doing as well and have never had a problem. Gave the demo a bit of a whirl last night... I haven't really poked around much (I wanted to test out player interactions and all that) but I assume there's a way to remove those hot buttons at the bottom of the screen above the breadcrumbs?

Marc - do you prefer if we in the U.S. purchase WWSM? Even though I'm American I rather like the feel of the "original" over an Americanized version if that makes any sense.

I'd like to see an option for a manager to accept bungs. It might make things more realistic, plus I just like saying the word "bungs".

First thing I did was get the english language pack. Goddamn it, soccer teams do not have HEADCOACHES!!! Just like I wouldn't pick up an NFL game in England and expect people to be called MANAGERS.

The localization was utterly ******ed. If the only one I can get here is Americanized, I won't be buying it. If the Elicense version actually speaks proper English, then despite barely playing FM2006, I'll buy it.

I like the demo so far. I took over a team in England, in the Conference National level like 3 months into the season. The team I took over is Aldershot Town I do believe. We're currently sitting like 15th out of 24 in the conference.

Exactly, I agree with you 100%. That's why I since SI split with CM and have had an Americanized version I've bought the regular game through gameplay.

I'm a Brit but live in Canada. When I got the Digital River version of FM and installed it... It didn't just annoy me, it actually made me ANGRY to see the phrase "Head Coach".

I don't like ordering the physical disk. I've had stuff from England never make it to me, and you're left with no comeback. Plus buying online licensed stuff is instant. (Admittedly I miss the expectation

)

We'll wait and see I guess.

Will this version speak proper English? Or will it be the bastardized "translated" version?

Hopefully it wont take forever to ship across the pond.

I just got an email from Sendit and they've lowered the price of FM 07 to $33.40. Not bad.

My computer decided to go kookoocaca on me and I lost almost everything, including my music and my Manchester United saved game, so I guess FM 2007 is in the plans.

With that said, I would like to know if the copy that can be purchased via eLicense will be Football Manager 2007 or WorldWide Soccer Manager 2007. I hope it's the former, I don't want to play the game and see "Head Coach" and "Feld" instead of "Manager" and "Pitch".

I have WWSM and you can choose between US and UK English

I think the digital version available via elicense will be WSM and not 'FM' but I would imagine we'll have the standard English language file included

Bonedwarf · 10-07-2006, 02:44 PM

Can you explain WHY the changes are made? I mean I can understand changing organise to organize. That doesn't bother me. But WHY change manager to head coach? I'm quite certain anyone likely to buy the game would be quite happy with the word manager. As I said, NFL games don't change head coach to manager. I had a Spectrum game called "Head Coach" for crying out loud!

I mean the change to "soccer" and all that, yeah, but that one change makes absolutely no sense, and I'm curious to find out why, and if it's an SI decision or higher up's that decided.

At least Digital River are gone. God they were attrocious...

Bababui: The UK language pack was NOT included with the game. I had to download it seperately. Then when I had a major system meltdown and had to reinstall, I couldn't find the language pack ANYWHERE online. Fortunately, after two hours of searching, I remembered I'd burnt it to disk.

I'm just gonna import... Easier. Can easily have multiple an install on my 3 different systems if I want. No faffing around with licenses, plus a nice physical disk and manual.

My only issue is that you need to have the disc in your computer in order to plan. Not a fan of that at all.

Is the digital version going to be released the same time as the cd version?

If I remember correctly, 2006's digital download was released like 2-3 weeks after the cd came out. My demo is nearing it's end, so I may go ahead and order it now for shipping if I have to wait.

The demo looks fantastic btw.

Bonedwarf..go to Preferences..Language.. there there is a choice between English and English (US)

My friend in the UK just called me. FM 2007 is in stores right now!

I don't have the game yet but I'm more than a little disappointed after reading this thread (server may be very busy at times).
