Poll of the Week #3: What Was Your First Version of Football Manager?

[Sean]

Which was the first version of the Football Manager series (2005-2011) you played?

 

[Jake]

Have played every FM.

First SI game was CM 97/98

 

[Sean]

First FM was 2005. But before that played Championship Manager from CM2 95/96 :wub:

 

[Mike.]

played them all, first was cm 98/99 or whatever that year was called. Parma :wub:

My first "Football Manager" game was like Jake said ... Championship Manager. It wasnt 97/98 but I remember the two companies splitting and making two games. making the difficult choice of which one to buy

 

[sass101]

2007, and 10 are the only one's that I have owned , so 07

 

[bijak]

FM10
I saw my younger brother playing FM09, but at the time season 09/10 have already been started, so I decided to buy FM10

 

[bolobolozenden]

my 1st was fm06...but i had played cm03/04 when it came!!

 

[Mike]

FM2009 was my first FM, but had CM01-02 and CM4.

Deserting the Championship Manager name was at first a difficult decision, but after researching what actually happened, i decided Football Manger would definitely be the better game, and i was right.

''When SI split from Eidos, SI Games kept the base code, the game database and programming of the game, whilst Eidos kept the name "Championship Manager" and its interface.''

With that knowledge in mind, it was very easy to choose SI and Football Manager. Also FM 2005 was released about 4 months before CM5, bad move by Eidos.

the first one i actually own is fm10, but had play 09 , 08 & 07 at my mate's house

 

[Triv]

Have played every FM.

First SI game was CM 97/98

Have bought every SI offering from CM 97/98 onwards and still have them all

CM 01/02 was probably my favorite version before FM series

 

[Sam]

I changed from CM to FM in 2008

 

[Rebelos]

Yeah 2004 was a difficult time but, like you, i looked into what Eidos had and what SI had. The only positive i could find for Eidos was they had the name.

Despite this i still bought CM2005, i thought it only fair to buy both FM2005 and CM2005 and find out for myself - no contest, SI kick ***

 

[kopites]

Cm05

 

[keysi]

I'm playing from 1999, when I started with Premier Manager 99... I own each from FM series...

 

[shadowsc2]

FM 2008 was my first game and because of it I became addicted to FM series and, OF COURSE - FOOTBALL!

 

[Ben]

2005, been playing since CM03/04 though.

 

[Redrup]

First one I bought was FM2009, but first one I played was 2008.
