Anybody play the Football Manager games?

Admin would it be possible to multi board this please.

This is just a quick one for all football fans. If you have a PC and like playing the Football Manager games and don't already have a copy of FM2020 then read on.

If you download the Epic games launcher/store (this is free of charge to download and set up an account) then until 3pm on Thursday you can download a free copy of FM2020 for PC.

No catches with this it is free of charge to download and keep forever. Don't worry about it being out of date as sites like FMBASE, Sortitoutsi and FM Underground amongst others publish free database updates after the transfer windows close, kit updates, badges etc if you like that sort of thing and these are easy to apply to the game. The newest one (FM2021) is apparently delayed until some time in 2021 as well so it's a good offer.

That is all and have a good evening.

Someone already did an article on this and I got a free copy of it!

Epic Store does 2 or 3 free games every week. Apparently record numbers playing Footy Manager as a result of this giveaway

Sad asf but I love it

Still on FM14 just updated as I went on.

But now downloading FM20 seeing as it's free.

Great game that I love and hate in equal measure.

Didn't play it for a good few years until FM20. Worst installment I've played unfortunately - wtf is up the players' finishing? 80% of 1 on 1s end up close to the corner flag.

You can download an editor file on Steam Workshop which takes the game to level 22 of English Football.

Monster of a challenge to get your team even into the Conference North/South from level 22.

Doesn't happen for me. Maybe your players aren't that good?

Don't you need a high performance laptop? Unfortunately I can't see a way of me installing it on my work laptop as they won't allow installations like that

Got to admit I've bought every copy since the first Championship Manager around 1992. It's come a long way since the blue floppy disc in my x86 machine, with fake players and a glitch which meant that two-legged games were always scored incorrectly. I suffer that ... "one more match" syndrome that starts at around midnight and ends up with me crawling into bed at 4am, much to the dismay of my wife who thinks I'm far too old for computer games ... and she's probably right.

It takes a bit of time to get into, but once you do, say goodbye to a social life and normal sleep patterns.
