After reading this thread, I went and grabbed FM13 and checked it out. Mind you, I hate soccer with a passion and know nothing about it....but the game is pretty fun no doubt. After 2 seasons thru, I'm hooked. Now I still feel like they are not comparable aside from how well they present their respective sport as a sim, interface, and features maybe. OOTP is the best baseball sim, FM best in soccer. 2 diff sports though, so that's far as I go. And I hate soccer, if you know the Beavers story, you know why lol so no bias game wise, it's forcing me to learn the sport

It is. I do hope you noted that the newspaper referred to the team as Huddersfield Town and not just Huddersfield.

I would love to purchase FM14 and jump into it, but I do not know the nuances and intricacies of soccer at all. How much would this hurt my experience with the game?

There are tons of resources online for FM...everything from tactics, to contracts, to training. The first place you might want to start is here:
Guide to Football Manager | FM 2013 Guide Note the further reading sections at the bottom of each article...very helpful. Keep in mind FM 14 is streamlining it's tactics creator to make it more realistic, so some of what you read in that section is already outdated. The BETA version for FM 14 is to be made available Thursday. It will only be available to those who pre-ordered...although yopu can pre-order at anytime up until release, and still receive the BETA version. |

Here is a basic list of things to understand:
How to Understand Soccer Strategy: 10 Steps - wikiHow I never understood soccer in my life either, but what makes FM so unbelievable is that you can read articles and watch videos, learning the game, and then apply it to FM, and it makes sense, and works as it would in real life. I had no interest in learning the game until FM came along. It got me hooked on what amounts to "FM crack". |

OOTP vs. FM Revisited
You also have the ability to delegate your staff to do certain task (not sure how well they improved the AI in this regard from FM12). Like the Director of Football (GM) can assist you or bring in talent for you with the help of scouts. Head of Training can handle training if you don't want to get into that and I think in 14, assistant coaches can suggest tactical changes during the game and you can apply them by selecting a button. It makes having a full staff meaningful and the game less time consuming.

Well, it is the OOTP forums. If you ran this poll on the FM forums, you'd get 98% votes for FM. I say this as a big an OOTP partisan as there is:
OOTP is probably the second best game made today (though there are some historical/wargames I'd rank as being nearly as good as OOTP). FM is the first, and the closest thing to a perfect game that'll ever be made. Saying that is not a discredit to OOTP at all, it's incredible. FM just happens to be even more more incredible.

FM is awesome, and the people who work on it are awesome too. I know most of the guys (since I've worked with SI from 2004 through 2006, for those who do not know) and they have incredible skills & knowledge.
Here is the difference between OOTP and FM: FM simulates Soccer, which is incredibly popular in Europe and other parts of the world. And simulation/management games are incredibly popular in Europe and have a rich & long history. The result: FM ships over a million copies per year. OOTP simulates Baseball, which is incredibly popular in North America, parts of South/Middle America and some Asian countries. Simulation/Management games in these regions are about as popular as Curling action games. The result: OOTP sells a tiny fraction of the volume FM does. That's why SI employs (my estimate) 50+ people, and we only employ a handful. Enough said. |
