FM2006 feature list

Want the lowdown scoop on whats in Football Manager 2006? Look no further!!!

Over 275,000 players and staff (277,385)

Over 5,000 playable teams in 50 countries leagues.

Previously unannounced features

• Quick Flicks -- For easier browsing around the game world, SI have introduced quick flicks at the top of the screen.

• Tutorial -- A 30,000 word tutorial for those who have found previous SI game's a bit daunting. Each screen has it's own tutorial with hyperlinks to any area of the game you need help with.

• Internet Play improvements - Packet size has been optimised on screens with a large bandwidth requirement in order to improve network play.

• Graphical Attributes -- Bored of numbers? Why not use bar graphs instead. With a quick change in the preferences section, your players stats will be shown in graphics, rather than numerically.

• New Comparison screen -- Comparing two players has never looked prettier.

• Fair Play -- extra places are available in continental competitions for those teams in the top flight who play fair. So you'd better tell your team to not get booked!

• Finance Graphs -- tracking your finances is now much easier with finance graphs.

• Height & Weight -- for the first time, Sports Interactive have introduced heights and weights for the players in the database.

• It's Speedyfastier -- creating new games and loading times are now significantly reduced, despite the level of detail remaining.

• Tactic change panel -- an easier way to edit your whole teams individual tactics, rather than having to change each player separately.

• Saved game compression -- for those who are running out of hard disk space, saved game compression, err, makes your saved game smaller.

• New match engine look -- dugouts appear in Football Manager 2006 for the first time, along with technical areas, and a little icon when a player has a minor injury.

• New skins - Thanks to Kev Radestock (Chameleon) & Gavin Thomson (Cappuccino) from the Sports Interactive community, we are proud to present the 2006 versions of the their hugely popular skins in the box of Football Manager 2006.

I am a fan of CM and FM games. Counting down the days to Oct 21.

FM 2006 goes gold and the community goes potty...

An incredibly busy week in the forums began with plenty of anticipation of the imminent release of the FM2006 Gold (final) demo. The week ended with the news that the demo had been made available earlier than anticipated, sending the FM community into a spin as they got their hands on a feature-complete version of SI's new game for the first time.

This came on Saturday October 1, a couple of days after the announcement that Football Manager's 2006 release date had been brought forward to October 21
- news that was greeted warmly by FM fans.

I heard release date was delayed until 4th November...

Are your facts correct PT Boss?

AFAIK Oct 21 set in stone now.

So how do these FM challenges work and any bonus points for your sesl team!?

When is FM 2007 released then?

Any major changes muted?

They usually appear in the month or two before Christmas, wonder why?

Not sure about what changes are planned though...?
