Any nostalgic managers still playing OFM?
-
Wouldn’t call myself one of the nostalgic ones but was there when forums were pretty good few years back
So what needs to change?
I think if there was more interaction between old and new managers and sharing tactics it might help. Likewise us newbies are behind the curve so kind of need to get to know you old heads better. FC of the Heart is a nice thread to start that off with. Maybe you old heads could get together and come up with some ideas of what worked in the past and become part of the solution.

@hans-orf Not much can change. Old days were epic forum wise. So much quality content, so much activity.. But game was different back in the days, nowadays its focusing more on android users and iOS users and thats why forums have no chance of being what they used to be. Also too many legends left the game as they felt that game does not respect their older customers so I really see no way of bringing old days back..

Completely agree with you regards PC users, seems OSM powers at be are fixated on cornering the mobile market at the expense of the core established users. A bit like football clubs going corporate and ignoring the grassroots fan base.
Even a newbie like me can see how PC users are disadvantaged when it comes to features. Does seem somewhat unfair that user A who may spend as much time, effort and money as user B but does not get the same range of benefits.

This is what you guys are looking
Imagine if all guys from the golden days (even before your time) just decided to return too.... guess that we'll have a 'battle' between those above and these

@hans-orf Hi
Sadly the vast vast majority of users are on the app, and less people are using PC's for things with tablets taking over etc, so it is kind of to be expected that the forums are declining. Adding forums to app would really help, but don't think it's in the developers plans as its a). hard to do and b). wont really add much to the actual game, which is understandable I suppose...
But still think things can definitely be done, the forums were updated a while back and function better than they used to for sure!

Well, maybe and unfortunately the developers have their own goals geared towards mobile user numbers and do not care about the core original user base. You do see this across many platforms and tech. It is a risk as that loyalty that you will not necessarily get with app (2/3rds of apps on phones remain regularly unused) users cannot be re-earned if the users have already left. Longevity is clouded by short-term gain or losing keeping your eye on the centre, look at Kodak for example.
I saw this with FM too, whereby they have lost many loyal fans (myself included) by becoming overcomplex or not catering to establised user needs.

@majstor-matt thanks so much!! Not gonna lie, I do miss them days so much!!

@tommy-timbers I think it is harder to cheat now, app doesn’t have logout button to harder to multi account on the app! But I’d say there’s still a few knocking about!
I think I recognise you, I think we may have been in same crew at one point, not sure what crew but your name rings bells!
-
@tommy-timbers Why a new account and not 'revive' the old one?
And I didn't forced you to take the CM position... I invited you and you agreed on trying, you could always step down to the cheat hunter task
Nice to see you back.
Sophie @SUPERNOVA-8 is still around but way less active latelly, but once in a while she pops up to delight us with her posts.
About old OFM images.... how many of you remember names on this squad:

@tommy-timbers Woohoo! Look who's back in Osm town!
Welcome aboard to the new forums old chap. 
Feels soooo good to see you here. This one goes for you and your new nick name.

@majstor-matt said in Any nostalgic managers still playing OFM?:
content, so
Of course that's a reason but are we all gonna pretend it wasn't for the fact the game changed both the Manager Points/Ranking System and changed the tactics engine? That's what actually pushed many legends to leave and therefore the forums being in this dire state.
Anyway, since we're sharing, you might recognise some of these names (I'm also kinda bragging)
And a crew battle sheet of us getting absolutely trashed by the one and only RO MANIA. Wonder if any of the big crews are still around?

Oh yeah, I stopped playing competitive for years so I totally forgot about the MP Ranking system change. That one for sure pushed away too many legends of the game. Years and years of hardwork pushed away in a moment. I cant believe that they havent considered putting some sort of "Legendary Ranking", at least in records page, which wuould honor most loyal customers and showed them respect by showing them how much MP's they earned in their whole career...
Worst decision this game ever made. I do support most of the aspect of nowadays ranking system, but there should be some sort of system that would benefit those most loyal as well.
