As topic.

Hmm wondering if you love the game as much as I do hey ? hehehe
Just wondering what your experiances are with PM..
I mean, I still play the game now.. the same exact game I started with 14 years ago! infact I played a few games this afternoon :) hehe :)

[Macca]

Well it is a great game. No denying that - I do have a few niggles with it (no aftertouch / if you're injured you can't play) but I am only one season into it now after restarting - my little dude is the top scorer!

Got hammered by Arsenal (we won't go into that) while my guy was injured but overall I'm still enjoying it! Really forgot how fun this game can be! Be great to run it off a HD though - especially if it took advantage of the faster processor so when it's generating the teams at the beginning it's quicker!

To speed things up a little you could select ` fastest possible but maintain timing` option in the cpu tab ;)

[Macca]

I could - but this is going to be ran on a proper Amiga... hence the need for a HD install if possible (hate rumaging through disks).

I would also like a WHDload install for this game. I can't wait for it, really, I have fond memories of this one. Never got to play it since I got my first A1200.

"Hard Drive install ... cpu tabs.... " :confused:

Are you talking about PC emulators?

I have the original Amiga 500+ ...brought back from the land of the forgotten, just for Player Manager ... which I went on a crazy hunt around the world to buy again!!

Amazing game! The best on ANY platform to date.

This would be a good game to run off the harddrive. Kickoff and Kickoff 2 have been done why not player manager?

[Galahad/FLT]

Because Player Manager takes a long time to playtest. Theres nothing tricky about it, copy protection is useless, game is buggy, but to playtest properly, you have to sit around whilst it generates its first game. Takes ages!

[adgloride]

Any chance of a beta whdload for it then? Like the kickoff 2 one. Other people could playtest it then.

[Eny-]

I would gladly test it :D

[adgloride]

Just looking on http://www.whdload.de/
someone is at the moment writing a whdload for player manager. It it only 5% finished so hopefully it'll be ready soon.

[stainy]

Hasn`t that been there AGES?? I remember seeing that there months and months ago I think :(

From the looks of this:


Player Manager (http://www.whdload.de/cgi-bin/mailto.cgi?reci=j) (Anco), 5% complete 9.1.2005 JOTD
...it looks quite new ;)

[stainy]

Oh yeah hehe :nuts

Go Go ! :D

Btw Galahad, did you had some feedback from the Kick Off 2 "beta testers" so you can finally release a final KO2 installer?

[Galahad/FLT]

That updated date for Player Manager is a misnomer. When a WHDLoad author updates his listing for what installs he is doing, the date for all of them is updated. So in actuality, Player Manager might well have no progress whatsoever, but as soon as the listing is updated, all of that authors installs are updated to show the last date the list was modified.

Any news/update? :spin

Any news/update? :spin

Yes there is... Sir Galahad is doing this right now!! :bowdown

The more BETA testing the better!

Thanks again for all the time invested Galahad! :great

[pbareges]

is there a way to get one's hand on this beta testing release ? thkx folks

[adgloride]

If you look at through the thread mentioned above theirs a link to the beta whdload of this game. I made the save disk for the beta and have yet to come across any problems.

[alkis21]

Galahad was indeed working on the beta, I was testing it and things were progressing well, but then we lost contact. :( The last version he gave me would not start the third season.

[pbareges]

thanks i found the first release of galahad but i can't find the updated one patching the first bugs, ie : www.fairlight.0catch.com/PM.ZIP (http://www.fairlight.0catch.com/PM.ZIP) . can anyone post this to the zone ? thanks guys,

Got other stuff on at the moment, Player Manager will resume very shortly as its nearly done.

[pbareges]

//thk you very much monsieur

[Donz]

You can download the original Rom, it never stuffs up.

[stainy]

Rom ? stuffs up.. of course it does! :)

[bippym]

ROM ?!?!?! :o :shocked

[Macca]

Holy thread revival batman!

Wondered if there was any progression on this - hell the last post is in July...

I sort of forgot all about this - lol

[Macca]

And then I forgot about it until now!!!!

And I think he meant RUM.. download RUM... a pirates life for me!

[adgloride]

The beta version I played of player manager worked really well. The kick off 2 beta has been out for ages also (Can't remember who was writing that).

[Macca]

Think they're both by Galahad.

I'm 99% certain he did the KO2 one - which I have found no fault with as of yet - and I've tried pretty much everything on it!
