FML information

[Butcher]

Introduction:
FM Live is an online football management game in the form of an MMOG (massively multiplayer online game), where you enter a completely by players controlled football economy. It looks like the FM you are used to but in the end is quite a different game, which has to do with the large player vs players aspect. As a manager and basically club owner, you have the ability to raise your own club, with your own name, stadium and players and join the federation of your likings. A federation can be compared best with a football association like the English FA. However in the case of FM Live you will most likely join a federation which suits your playing times best. From there on you can join a competition (or get invited by the owner of that competition) and until that starts you can set your tactics, test your players through single friendlies against other players or buy additional ones and enter friendly competitions.

But lets not waste any time anymore and move on to the pictures part of this thread.

Starting out:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. FM Live start screen.
2. Create your own club
3. Set your home kit (away kit also possible, not included in pictures)
4. Set your stadium (location is based on your 'nearest city' in your personal profile)
5. Create or remove additional squads (you start out with senior only).

Note: you start out with creating your own personal profile and when that's done you create your club. Afterwards you get taken to your club screen, but you will be faced with an empty squad. You will have to sign your players first. We will cover 'transfer' related screens later on.

Your club:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Team profile
2. Squad list
3. Squad stats (only thing really missing is an overview of W D L)
4. Finances overview
5. Finances incoming and outgoing

Tactics:
1. 2. 3.

1. Tactical overview
2. Team settings
3. Individual settings

Matches:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The images above all show pre and during match situations. Take note of the fact that FM Live's match engine is unlike that of FM 08. For those who have played the old CM's, it can be best compared with that.

The last screenshot is a list of clips which you can normally view after a match is over.

Transfers:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Your shortlist.
2. All players signed or unsigned (here you will get your players from when you first start up a game).
3. When trying to sign a transfer free player (after you confirmed your initial squad) you will have to make a bid for his wages, which will be put into an auction of 24 hours.
4. Recent transfers.
5. Your own transfers.

Communication:
1. 2. 3. 4.

1. The chat screen. You can also chat with individual people (1, 2 or more) at the same time.
2. News - all direct club related news is presented in here.
3. Mail inbox.
4. When not online (in-game) you have the option to let the game sent your messages to your normal e-mail address or even your cell phone (we don't have a clue what the costs of those cell phone messages are).

Misc:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Overview of official federations (Football Associations).
2. Overview of official leagues which you can ask to join IF you are part of the appropiate federation.
3. The game world itself.
4. The club rankings based on rank (not on reputation).
5. Your own history sheet (all unlocked achievements).

Note: There are a lot more friendly competitions and cups. The selection above is based on the official federations and competitions.

I hope the screenshots were of any use and have given you a better insight on how FM Live looks like and what possibilities it has.
