Football Manager 2015 Released This Week
8 Nov 2014 at 1:49 pm UTC

It'd be a Steam Machine console exclusive, but can you play it with a controller? It isn't listed as controller-compatible as far as I can tell.

It's nice to see that FM2014 wasn't a one-off in any case. Unfortunately, I don't care for football, so I've not played a football manager game since Ultimate Soccer Manager on the Amiga.

I shudder to think how much money it has made me part with between then and now! :whistle:

Looking good. :)

There's a small typo in the third question (did you use wine) -- games has an extra 's'.

I'm not convinced that the windows partition question is quite right. I think a better question would be:
Do you have a Windows partition which you use for gaming
  • Yes

  • No -- I deleted it last month

  • No -- I deleted it over a month ago

  • No -- I don't use it for gaming


It'd give it a bit more scope, while retaining the same the same focus.

Just my thoughts.

I use propriety nvidia drivers because nouveau was always buggy for me. It'd break every alternate kernel update, and bug reports never seemed to go anywhere. Now that gaming has taken off on Linux, I don't think I'll be switching away from propriety drivers fro a while.

I don't know I love it yet? I wonder if that's a cryptic hint at something. Hopefully it's more substantial than a pigeon dating simulator. :P

The game plays really well, and it's some good, silly fun.

The only problem I have with it is the auto-equip. If you hold the pick-up key fore more than 0.1 (!!) seconds, whatever you're trying to pick up becomes your active item, and your currently active item is either dropped, or put into your inventory.

Fortunately there's a fix, but it means editing files in a .pak (zip file), which means they'll likely be overridden if there's an update and/or you verify cache integrity. Boo.
