Player Manager

Macca · 09 August 2004, 22:46

As topic.

stainy · 09 August 2004, 23:22

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 · 10 August 2004, 08:57

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 · 10 August 2004, 19:51

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).

StarEye · 17 August 2004, 19:51

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.... "

:

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.

adgloride · 13 January 2005, 02:16

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

Galahad/FLT · 13 January 2005, 06:42

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 · 13 January 2005, 16:17

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

Eny- · 13 January 2005, 19:51

I would gladly test it

adgloride · 15 January 2005, 23:46

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 · 16 January 2005, 10:04

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

From the looks of this:

Player Manager (Anco), 5% complete 9.1.2005 JOTD

...it looks quite new

stainy · 16 January 2005, 18:58

Oh yeah hehe

Eny- · 16 January 2005, 20:44

Go Go !

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 · 04 April 2005, 01:12

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.

Eny- · 08 August 2005, 21:05

Any news/update?

See the Kick Off Association website for more info:

The more BETA testing the better!

Sid

Eny- · 10 October 2005, 17:25

Thanks again for all the time invested Galahad!

pbareges · 19 April 2006, 19:02

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

adgloride · 19 April 2006, 22:17

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 · 19 April 2006, 23:20

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 · 20 April 2006, 18:48

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 . 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 · 21 April 2006, 03:13

//thk you very much monsieur

Donz · 24 July 2006, 06:58

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

stainy · 24 July 2006, 09:43

Rom ? stuffs up.. of course it does!

bippym · 24 July 2006, 14:06

ROM ?!?!?!

Macca · 23 November 2006, 17:51

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

M

Macca · 25 June 2007, 13:48

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

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

adgloride · 25 June 2007, 20:36

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 · 26 June 2007, 15:54

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!
