    A wow beater?

    i would like your input on a game called football manager LIVE. i have heard some great things about this and if it does manage to pull itself off could this be bigger then wow here in europe?

    before you go off and say its two complete different games i disagree. its similar because its a MMO type game. it may not be a fantasy driven one but there are certainly som rpg roles in it.

    what you guys think of this game?

    Not a WoW beater in my opinion.

    It's like saying Doom 3 is similar to PuzzleQuest:CotW.

    Depends what it would bring over a completely free to play online mode of something like championship manager I guess. Even in Europe it'd never match WoW - footie only appeals to too small a portion of the market, where as WoW has wider appeal (thinking female gamers here).

    Would you pay £8 a month to play football manager?.

    Re: A wow beater?

    I've been on the beta for a few months and it's good, but... for me the forced playtimes (and they'd have to implement something like this to make the game work) are a deal breaker - I just can't guarantee that I can always play between 6 and midnight every weeknight or similar. As such I doubt I'll be signing up (I believe the client is to be free, with a small monthly fee of around "the price of a few pints a month"

    And Josh - I've asked before, and didn't get an answer: what is it that you have against WoW, a game that by your own admission you never played? The *only* similarity between the 2 games is that they are both played online. You might as well be comparing TF2 with Mario Kart.

    Re: A wow beater?

    no there both mmo's and require you to pay to play it

    i have nothing againts wow and imo the thing that will make wow decease is TIME. sooner or later people are going to get bored of wow and look fomr somthing else to play. WOW cant last forever. this game, WAR and aoc provides a breath of fresh air for the likes of you and otehr mmo fans to take part in and play besides wow

    Re: A wow beater?

    I played WoW for over a year, loved it and then got a little bored so cancelled my subscription.

    The other day I reinstalled it and actually went back on the server for a while and there was still loads of people I knew from well over 12 months ago still playing. The thing with WoW is they've got the balance right in regards to gameplay, teamwork and social things, not to mention that it's very SCALABLE and thus can be played on low end systems just as well as the higher-end systems when the effects and graphics are ramped back a bit.

    I've played loads of MMO's over the past and WoW seems to be the only one which I keep humming and arring about thinking of re-subscribing and becoming an addict once again.

    That's certainly an interesting viewpoint you have there. One is an MMORPG, the other an online Football Management simulation.

    i have nothing againts wow
    That's certainly not the impression I get based on the constant "will this game kill WoW", "This game could be the end of WoW" etc that you seem to be posting...

    and imo the thing that will make wow decease is TIME. sooner or later people are going to get bored of wow and look fomr somthing else to play. WOW cant last forever. this game, WAR and aoc provides a breath of fresh air for the likes of you and otehr mmo fans to take part in and play besides wow
    The thing that will cause a decrease in subscriptions to WoW is when something comes along that does *everything* better than WoW currently does.

    Yes, the content is currently looking a tad stale in WoW, but... WotLK is looking like it will be taking on all comers on release. Prior to the release of TBC a fair number of WoW players had drifted away to other games, but they were right back when the expansion hit: I suspect that the same will be true with the next expansion. I've only played AoC in the beta, and it was nice, but not awesome enough to be anything more than a stopgap to me. I'll probably buy it, play it on and off for a couple of months (see LotRO, D&D Online, Eve Online for further evidence of stopgap games for me) and ditch it and go back to WoW. I'm hopeful that WAR will deliver on the massive promise that it has, but I'm also in beta for that and... it still needs polish, and lots of it.

    Anyhoo - back to FML: do you play Football Manager? I do. I've played it since the days of Championship Manager 2, and I'd really like for FML to take off, but it needs to have more allowance for casual players like myself. If you've NOT played Football Manager then... you might not like it. It's not a shiny pretty game, it's all about stats. Lots of stats.

    Re: A wow beater?

    Football Manager has lost its appeal to me and an Online version does nothing to restore it. CM3 was my favourite of the series

    Guess that is true now. At the time though it certainly wasn't. I remember lots of people upgrading including myself to get playable performance. Would seem MMO's grow overtime as more and more people upgrade.

    I think you're comparing apples and oranges...
    Sure, they're both very tasty fruit, but they're still massively different. Just as the football manager game, and WoW are both online games, they have a very different nature.
    The setting of WoW is not really relevant, since fantasy MMO's are ten-a-penny. what WoW actually offers is a polished gameplay experience, which can appeal outside of its genre.
    A football management game would have greatest appeal to football fans, with some peripheral appeal to strategy and simulation fans, which I'd bet accounts for fewer people than the "want a fun game, with other people in it" demographic.
