First thoughts on Demo

It has impressed me. I didn't get on with CM4 or 03-04 as many people knew but somehow I have now decided that FM2005 is better than CM01-02 (or thats the feeling I get from playing the demo for an hour)

So from me it gets a big thumbs up, although, I need to make a decent tactic, I lost 1-0 to Anderlecht with Liverpool in my first friendly

I agree with you, I never really got the feel for CM4/CM0304 like I did with CM0102.

But I like this game... I need to get a better tactic of course, I lost 6-1 to Arsenal as Chelsea :$.

It's great the only thingy is that the sound doesn't work but I think that's because it's a demo.

this game is impressed me but i really facing problems in tactic. i lose to arsenal 3-2 while i'm 2-0 up just 5 minutes. then lose to man city 3-2 while 2-0 up again :$ :$ :$ :$

Yeah I have to agree, the way tactics work are completely different in this game. I have been performing very poorly recently with a 4-4-2 tactic that usually works quite well in CM0304. However my bad luck seems to be taking a turn for the best, just beat Portsmouth 3:0 :D :p

iv only played a bit, but im impressed so far. the layout is a bit wierd and takes getting used to. the offside rule is still crap though. a player on the left side of the pitch still gets called offside when its passed to a player on the right side, but i hope thats tweaked along with some stats. villa have £6 mil to spend, not £3 mil. and some of the other stats are dodgy too. barry plays left, centre mid and def. and some others iv noticed too. not too much to worry about though. im sure it will be sorted... the ball is much improved in the 2d game engine. as is some of the movement i think.... i have noticed players running away from the ball slightly again, if the comp wants you to play badly for a bit, but i spose that could be put down to a slip or something. i have seen that in real life, where a player doesnt run to the ball and stands off and the opposition gets it.....

overall, its good. it feels more polished than cm4 and 03/04 already and its only a beta demo.... roll on the finished article...

With regards to the sounds, someone on the official SI forums reported that you can copy the sounds from CM03/04 to the data/sounds folder on the FM2005 demo and it works fine. Wonder if the same is true of the skins, I know probably not but it is the same code after all.

Aye i agree with the whole tactics thing. Another thing i've noticed is more realistic transfer fee's. The asking price is pretty close to the value....like i bought robinho for 3.4 mil, tevez for 7 mil and van der vaart for 7 mil

We will be updating the sound effects for the full release and generally don't include them in Demos to help reduce the filesize of the download.

Much of what you speak about here has been fixed or is in the process of being addressed.

The final database (which controls items like budgets, player positions, etc) is no where near final and will naturally be updated for release.

With regards to the 2D Match Engine we have since improved offsides and resolved 'players running away from the ball' and will be continuing to improve its quality right the way up until Release.

I've never bought one of the CM games (I only tried the demo for the last one, and the new FM demo), but am definitely thinking about getting this one (assuming I can in Canada?).

The only problem is how addictive it is .. lol ..

It's so in depth, it's mindboggling. :crazyboy:

Hi TROD .. thanks for the welcome!

I've been playing around with a few league 2 sides and i noticed that Lincoln City are grosely underated!

Hint hint SI, i think a few Lincoln players are weak in certain areas and you haven't got the attendances correct when taking into consideration last seasons average attendances.

Apart from that an excellent demo, couldn't bring myself to quit last night.

Its not the final data, thats probably why Lincoln City are underrated in the beta demo.

In real life Manchester United's Giuseppe Rossi is an amazing talent at 17 years old but in the beta demo he has alot of 1's for his stats. In the Gold demo, he will probably have Godly stats for a youngster.
