The german community behind this game is crazy, they update all players and all the clubs , i can play with my hometown in a game with myself as a player.
I remember playing with my local club. I managed our Team in Kreisliga B. I put all my teammates (and some opponents) in the youth teams. I was basically playing in the u15 while managing the mens team lol. Played for like 35 years and ended up in Regionalliga.. stopped playing. Prorbably gonna do it again soon.
This game was DEEP. The closest thing we have today is We Are Football 2024, made by the same guy who produced the FIFA Manager series (Gerald Köhler). He doesn't have the same resources he had back when EA was funding FIFA Manager, but WAF is still a very good FM alternative. FIFA Manager 14 and its mods will always be GOATed games, though
@@jamieeddolls5605 FM is a sim, WAF is a more casual game. I don't think they're trying to compete with each other. WAF's editor is way more comprehensive though, and they even let you build and edit stadiums. FM has been needing that for a very long time.
My dad had FIFA manager 2013 back in the day, and 9 year old me would play it non-stop, didn't understand a thing about managing, spent more time buying all the luxury items like swimming pool and foosball table.
You don't need to buy the 2014 version. 2013 is exactly the same game, with more licenses even (that dont matter) and i think even some more features. And mods/data files work for 2013 too
This game is deep man, i love this game, the one thing i don't like in this game you have to talk to team every week for maximum happiness for better rating
i remember there was a feature up until fifa manager 12 i think, that if you had both (fifa manager and fifa) you could play fifa gameplay in the fm game
So great to see people playing this, ive played it for the past 4 years over football manager, so many reviews of the game back then do not makes sense, this game is the best manager game, yh i said it
@@BCHD this was basically the last hurrah right, this game and you had stuff like NCAA Football 14 - it was after this year that they started to become what they are now.
I think it's the fan mods that have made it look much better now.

Definitely looks better with the mods, much more immersion & pretty to look at. Credit to all the people working on the mods.. they've done some real good things 👏 actually makes me want to play this.

@@roaarylion5214 FM has been a stagnant and tired mess for a decade and this is coming from a fan of the game.

FIFA Manager has always been #1 for me. Tried Football Manager once and didn't like it at all. Ever since I've always continued playing the old FIFA Manager games. I will download this 2024 MOD, Cannot wait. Wow thank you for the video
The ammount of games between the () are not his stats as a starter, but his games and goals in the reserve team. Great game btw, I would love to use this and play the actual games in fifa, That would be perfect.
I used to Play this religiously when it came out, and seeing sour video brought me back man! It was honestly the pinnacle of sports gaming if you ask me!!! What i found really cool is that you can do so much also in the managers private life, even have your kids play in your youth academy!
Last 15-20 years i really played almost every football game, Fifa manager was amazing, a lot of things u can do, buy a new house, have a family, son , acctually u spending ur money :D U can charge stadium prices, customice chairs and everything and do a lot of thing :) Total club manager was also fire..
What I always loved in this game was the youth Academy System great feeling when a new 4 Star or higher talent showed up, it was always fun developing young players
"FIFA MANAGER 2014" is by far the best football management game I've ever played! Despite the greater scope and realism of "Football Manager", "FIFA MANAGER" is more accessible and intuitive, visually more beautiful, and is a marvel for developing players. Absolutely fantastic to play this relic!
This modded version also has a Team Control function, for anyone who wants to play the matches. Does make you quite overpowered vs most teams, so bear that in mind.
Fifa Manager online was so cool because you could play a season with random people and take part to auctions for the same player. It’s a feature that Football Manager never impelemented. You could always play with other people online but with friends only, not casual lobbies
As a German ( where this Game literally was THE Manager Game), i still have every Copy as CD :D - did help some years with the Databases, which gave you every year a nice package of merchandise from EA and FM, with of course .. the Game :D ) - For us in Germany this is a Manager, you manage that whole Club, in England its director of Football i guess. As a Manager you literally manage your Club. Finances, Stadium. Architecture and so on. I really miss that game =( yes the Updates and so on, but its not a real new game. funnily enough that a 10 year old game had better graphics in Game Sim as Sega FM.. which is quite sad tbh.
Ahhh I remember playing this back in the day, I loved it soooo much, Really wish they carried on with it, Imagine how good it could be with modern tech...
Brandon wearing an FC Porto top and talking about the goated FiFA Manager...I still have one the first one, when it was called fifa soccer manager, from 1997. I spent hours a day playing it. well paced, lots of leagues, lower divisions.
I have played both the original and modded iteration. The mod just gets you updated squads, kits, player pics, updated start menu. The rest of the game is just the same as the original Pretty cool game
Wow, I didnt know they had an update for this game. Used to play it for hours back in the days, and I always liked it more than its competitor for some reason. I might give it a try someday!
I don't know if I remember it right, but I think the stadium-building-tool got deleted or a lot smaller in the later games. Just this year I tried playing FM24 the first time since my good old days with EA FM10-13 and it's good but not the same. Maaan, I loved that old game. Loved taking over smaller clubs, the huge fanbase that produced so much content. I was spending hours building a new stadium. I was quite shocked that there is no stadium or infrastruce-building at all, less or no options for negotiations with sponsors. All in all it's quite the same game nowadays but they still missed some of the good stuff.
Finally, Fifa Manager gets the fame that it deserves!!!! In this game with the personal life, you can be a Billionaire if you change the txt for the itens. Also you can buy the club, create a new club, etc
"you never played".... I still have the damn case with the cd inside. I actually wanna fire it up now but my pc hasn't got a disc drive. Bloody modern shit :(
this was my best game by far and till this day i dont know why they shut down the project ( maybe because they cant inject micro-transactions in those kind of games ). Thank you for this vid. it brings so many good childhood memories ♥
Shame ea don’t sell the rights to another publisher sure there would be intrest . Never been a game like this . Sad day when they would never make this again 😢
Damn, that puts FM24 to shame, and it's a decade older! It's actually way better than anything I'm expecting from this big change in FM25. It's lightyears ahead.
In my opinion both manager series are good but I played other football manager game series too. Total Club later Fifa manager was good in my opinion despite EA published, because it gave you a lot of freedom on how to manage and what club to manage. Totalclub was simple and was less flashy than the more modern versions but I liked it also created football systems for non playable countries. Currently I am stick with Fifa Manager 07 and made some adjustments in it and still need to finish some country to expand it. I like that how they improved the variety with faces, hairstyles and so. Also the editor for the game let you bulk edit teams if you not wish to work on every single person. Also the personal life and build a stadium is a good pros to alter and improve your experience. Also with the editor you can skip this phase partly and prebuild a team you like.
I play FM nowadays, but I do really miss the old FIFA Manager games. They were my favorite football manager series. FM is a good game, but it looks a bit bland and boring at times when compared to FIFA Manager.
I'll stick to football manager on the pc, but it does look good. Football manager gets players future stats right, but their personality type can hinder their careers.
I had FIFA Manager 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. 2005 was the worst. 2004 where they integrated it with FIFA was superb! I spent countless hours playing it as well as the 2006 edition. Being able to use the database for all kinds of mods was another game-changing (pun intended) feature.
Listen this was the best game franchise in history I played FIFA Manager 08 for 6 years I didn't care about the real world I played this game as if it was the real world. I still have the disk for the game.
Nobody actually pays £300. There is no history of any sold anywhere near that. The highest has been £64.99 sold. Also not everyone has a cex next to them, It's only Fifa Manager 13 and 14 that have any good value.
FM-Zocker and ImpactRaptor have great Tutorials on this common issue. Sadly the fixes are mostly in German. But you just have to add like one line of code to an open document.
This is rather easy to fix: Go to your Documents Folder to the Folder "Config" then open the "user" and add "WINDOWED = 1" - without the " in the first line. At least that worked for me because i also had that problem
Remember: It's morally correct to pirate a game if the developer no longer sells it anywhere and the re-sale prices are ridiculously high
