Let me start.. I thought this would be an interesting thread to start here at GM Games. I am really curious to know about how you found out about playing these types of games. We've had several blog entries from our feature contributors telling us their story about how they got started playing sim sports. History: I don't consider myself someone with a great memory lol but here is how I think it all got started and how it evolved. For a long time I have always been fascinated with the statistics in sports. Being a fan, playing sports my whole life, I was always interested in box scores. My grandparents would always have a daily paper and I would grab the sports section and be really interested in reading the box scores that tell a little bit of a story of how the game went. From then on I knew stats and sports, athlete performance had a lasting effect on me. But it evolved further to wondering why teams won, why teams lost, and understand the aspects of a manager or franchise. I think it all started on NES. I owned a copy of Baseball Simulator and my friends in the neighbourhood and I just played the crap out of Baseball Stars. I think my mom at one point had a 40 dollar late charge with Blockbuster on a copy of Baseball Stars being a few weeks late. Man did I ever love that game from the team building perspective, money, salary caps etc. Later on Baseball Simulator was pretty fun, but I think I ended up playing Baseball Simulator 1.000 on SNES more, minus the dumbass magic part of that game lol. Baseball was my sport growing up but I loved all sports and my background being Lithuanian, I have been bred to love Basketball. Along the journey at blockbuster I rented my first copy of Tecmo Super Bowl. I would play out full seasons with my friend during sleepovers and we would almost get a whole season done from early afternoon till about 3-4 am. Losing in the playoffs with eyes barely open was an empty feeling when it was all over, lol! But was simulating it ever fun as well. Stats were realistic, player personnel moves had significance etc. Loved this game. I found some joy in basketball from copies of NCAA Basketball (which didn't simulate well but played well), and played a lot of Tecmo Super NBA Basketball. Tons of fun and loved my mid-range jumpers from the elbows (which normally was a low percentage shot) but loved seeing Michael Jordan hitting those while growing up. From a hockey perspective my first simulation game was Wayne Gretzky Hockey, which I believe was way ahead of its time. As time progressed Baseball Mogul showed up on the scene. It instantly was a hit to me, it took what I wanted these games to become to the level where it made me feel wrapped up in this world. I helped run a league named BMIL that lasted for years until we switched to OOTP .. I have been a user on the OOTP forums since 2002 and I have an interesting private message with Markus from 2002 that makes me smile to this day. As the modern games came out I pretty much played about everything. Countless hours of Championship Manager (CM) even though I wasn't a huge European Football / Soccer fan but the game was just THAT good. Eastside Hockey Manager was developing and the games got more sophisticated. I still firmly believe this genre made some of the most addictive games ever made. If you really believe and are intrigued with a great simulator algorithm and AI world, these games will keep you playing through all hours of the night. "Just sim one more day".. Hey, share with us your story. I would love to hear it personally. I helped create this site so these games, the developers get the attention they deserve, but also, we get a chance to mold the games with the dev's in our desired fantasy world's. What's your story??

I realy like the game so far. It looks a bit like Draft Day Sports, which isnt bad. I would recommend you to follow the game on twitter. Every new version and development is shown there.

Hi im new to CTFM , im new to the draft day series and hope to have fun here and there .

yes, that's what happened to me on the other end when I tried to accept your offer

I'm also new to CT FM! I would also like if any more veteran players gave some tips or information i have no idea what I'm doing

Okay, I found a few more boxing titles. The reviews are a bit mixed on some of these but I figured I would at least mention them. World Boxing Manager (PC/Mac) https://store.steampowered.com/app/563750/World_Boxing_Manager/ World Championship Boxing Manager (PC) - a classic game port https://store.steampowered.com/app/1254860/World_Championship_Boxing_Manager/ Punch Club (PC/Mac) - more of an RPG/Strategy game https://store.steampowered.com/app/394310/Punch_Club/ Title Bout Championship Boxing (PC/Mac/Linux/Android) - outdated but still has a small community of people playing it http://www.titleboutboxing.com/cgi-bin/page?home World of Mixed Martial Arts 5 (PC) - I know it's MMA not boxing, but I still have to mention it because of how detailed, in-depth and realistic it is. I've played hundreds of hours on it, mostly thanks to such a fantastic community with superb modding. http://greydogsoftware.com/wmma-5/ If I track any more titles down worth mentioning, I'll let you know.

They are both good games but I am looking for a PC game. Eboxing promoter is good but is online only, I wish there was an offline version. Thanks for the reply Chris.

But again..those are user votes. That's not the site deciding the score, that's people (me, you, average forum user) voting for that score. Do I believe those are high? Yes. Would I rate most the games as high as they are? No. But You can't dictate what users rate games at, unless you turn off all user ratings.

At this point we'll be lucky to win 5

CT College Football Manger is the best College football game ive played since probably NCAA 14 For the resources they had they made a great game!

Hi everyone! My name is Patrick and I'm from Lithuania. I really enjoyed basketball gm and now I bought DDSPB2021 so hooray! I can't wait to try this one out, but I really want it to be as immersive as possible so I'm looking to download the real world update and the picture pack which is why I'm here! So best of luck to you all who play this game and hope you're doing great!

IMO Football manager series is currently the best GM game. OOTP 22 was not bad too

"EP1 The Opening .... Can CoachFury Rebuild the Charlotte Hornets using LaMelo Ball as the key piece towards playoff glory?"

DDSB22 is my first version. I bought it yearsteday and i am really excited about tis one...

I mostly like building the rosters and letting the AI coach manage the games.

I started with the Strat O Matic board game & eventually Tony La Russa Baseball followed by every edition of Front Page Sports Baseball & Football. I picked it up with the OOTP baseball series & have purchased every one, every year. Still a huge soft spot for the FPS games.

Thanks to both of you - this has been reported as a bug to Anders and will be looked at ASAP.

Inject Peyton Pritchard into my veins, he's got my vote and my loyalty!

Hi everyone, brand new here. Just bought DDS pro Basketball 21. Any tips on how to get started as I've never played any of these games before? Thanks

NBA Live 95 was one of my first sports games, beside a couple of classic (german) football/soccer management games, that are still fun to play (at times). For NBA Live 96 - that I asked to get for christmas - me and my brothers were searching our parent's house to find it prior to christmas eve. And we did - and we actually were playing the game a couple of times (secretly) and put it back, just to receive it back on christmas day.

Series is great! Just starting my own franchise.

A trash player.

3 years and still going strong what a topic

Jan. 9, 2024: Elon Phoenix (7-6, 2-0) @ Towson Tigers (11-2, 1-1) Gloria Spann, mother of freshman PG/SG Jon Spann Elon’s freshman SF Charles Barnes has been one of the brightest new stars in the CAA. He’s averaging 10.8 ppg and has scored in double figures in 8 of the Phoenix’ 13 games. He’s been the CAA Freshman Player of the Week 4 times already. If my son, Jon, were starting and getting as much playing time, people would understand that he really is the best freshman in the CAA. It’s nearly a 4 hour drive from Buckingham, VA where we live to Towson, so my husband and I can’t get to all of Jon’s home games. The Tigers shooting sucked early in the game and 3 of their players (C Donny Flint, SF Wayne Burrough, and C Donyell Porter) picked up 2 quick fouls. In contrast the Phoenix shot well and lept ahead 20-10 after 9 minutes of play. But Towson rallied and came back in the last 5 minutes of the half to take a 36-34 lead when the buzzer sounded. Jon scored just 2 points but played well. SF Wayne Burrough was the Tigers top scorer with 8 points. Charles Barnes was better than I thought, scoring 15 points for the Phoenix. Towson held onto a small lead the entire 2nd half but never was able to pull away and create a comfortable lead. But the Tigers did enough to win by a final score of 80-73. Jon scored just 3 points, but also had 3 assists and 2 steals. PG Shaun White scored 22, SG Dominick Collins put in 15 points plus had 8 rebounds, C Donny Flint had 13 points, 5 assists and 9 rebounds, and SF Wayne Burrough added 10 points. SF Charles Barnes scored 23 points for Elon. Hmm...so OK, he's pretty good. The win moved Towson into a 5-way tie for 2nd place, one game behind 3-0 Hofstra.

No, think they will be a bust in the playoffs. Lakers would brush them aside easily provided AD and LeBron stay healthy.

The game looks really fun. I hope he records more videos on it.

Hope this enables me to download the files

I found this site through Wolverine studios and also subcribed the you tube channel

EHM 07 is the best version that was released. I own them all and I enjoy them in this order... EHM 07 > EHM 04 (First one called NHL Eastside) > EHM 05 > EHM (steam version) People recommending the new Franchise Hockey Manager but I would disagree, the game is now up to version 7 and is still very rough around the edges and is a very different product to EHM. If you only care about up date NHL game play then sure go buy Franchise hockey 7 otherwise stick with EHM 07 if you have it!

Thanks for the info on the logo packs and for the hard work getting them set up.

football manager is always a safe bet with manager games.

It's a massive new User Interface upgrade. Some like it, some don't. Great thing about Wolverine Studios is they always offer a demo that can be downloaded on their website. I like it better then 20 but I still don't like it as well as PB21 or even CB20.

Thanks for the work here, this is incredible.

Thanks, New to the forum, trying to figure out best way to post the image and make it full size. Not the tiny thumbnail, so people can read it without having to click anything. Or clicking it and it taking you to imgur. To keep all my dynasty's uniform looking, I normally update them all to my wordpress blog and then take a screenshot and then post to forums. I may just have to link my wordpress site. My lastest blog post for this dynasty can be found here: https://drummerj99.wordpress.com/2020/11/02/2020-21-season-october-18th-24th/ And my full blog can be found here: https://drummerj99.wordpress.com/

....and download some cool mods!!!

Thanks for all the work

Appreciate you! Thanks so much.

I agree, great stuff

I'll try posting here instead of making a new thread. I really like Front Office Football, will I enjoy this game? Just looking for something with abit more to look at while I play!

The Hoodie made Brady who he is.

After the trade deadline all contract offers are in terms of the following season (example: sign a player not on your roster and they won't report until day 1 of the following season). Then if you are situated in a top 2 seed in your conference after day 87, in terms of contract negotiations you are now considered the level of the league you are promoting to. I'm not fully visualizing your situation in my head, so sorry if that doesn't clear it up. But that is how it has always been as a promoting team after day 87, going back to the old version. When I was promoting to the GHL I had a bunch of players that would not resign on SHL contracts, so I had to ensure that I had guaranteed promotion at the end of the season and had to wait until after day 87 to negotiate their extensions.
