Lords of Football - "Sims" like coaching game for PC

I don't for sure yet, but I might try this out. I have been wanting to do something besides FIFA and I thought about FM but I might try this out instead ... it looks interesting to say the least.

FM AND FM ONLY

Honest Question:


how in depth is FM, I never played IRL and what I know is from what I watch, read, hear, or FIFA. Would FM put to much stress on a novice such as I or would I be able to handle it rather easily after time getting used to it? Most the time playing Manger Mode on FIFA, I find myself more intrigued with the actual managing, purchasing, etc. than I do actually playing games sometimes.


What say you about FM?

I can't think of a clever analogy to say how much better and more in depth FM is over manager mode. It's not only more in depth, but it's so realistic with the transfers, scouting, etc

Well this is what I mean ... is it too in depth for a noob of soccer?

FM Classic, a new game mode in FM13, is a stripped down version of the game that's perfect for new guys. You pick the squads, delegate tasks (scouting, training, reserve teams, etc.), create tactics, control the transfers, and all that. You also can get an instant result in this mode (similar to simming in FIFA), which is great in meaningless friendlies.

The regular mode has a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it...you're hooked. You literally control every part of the team: training schedules, scheduling friendlies, scouting, hiring every single member of the staff, and give press conferences.

The depth is incredible, too. Literally every amateur, semi-pro, and professional league on the planet is playable with a download of an editor file or two. (The editor on the game is incredible, too.)

My favorite custom world is a ten-level US soccer pyramid, with MLS on top and regional amateur teams on the bottom.

Great way to kill time. Sometimes I like actually controlling players on FIFA, but I mostly want to play Manager Mode...and nothing beats FM in that aspect.

I'm still waiting for it to drop to under $10 before I pick it up. FM12 was on sale for $5 around this time last year

I've played FM since the 09 game came out, but I usually don't spend more than $5-10 on it since I have higher priority games in my steam wishlist...

is FM an XBOX or PS3 thing or is it computer?

dont know anything about it, im a gaming noob and soccer noob

I'm still somewhat intrigued by Lords of Football ... WSE can you watch the games being played in FM similar to what I saw in the match day video for LoF?

Cool will do thanks
