I've noticed an Israeli defender, 22 years old, has a skill rating of 99. This is obviously a mistake, so I think that dropping his skills to like 40-50 would be fine.

Transfers are a little off, but that can be fixed.

The game is so much faster than FM2001.

For the most part, skill ratings are on the mark.

Age makes a HUGE difference in pricing. (ex. Tony Adams is like an 82 CD, but is only worth about 4.5 million pounds; probably a young CD rated 74 is worth more.)

I think the 30 dollars or however much it was I paid for it was well worth it, as it is an improvement.

It is odd how starting a game with Leeds, Manchester United struggled horribly, losing 4 of 4 games.

One thing i've really been surprised by is how much good players will appear on the transfer list. I've seen Figo, Rivaldo, Scholes, and other good players on it all within 4 weeks of game time.

Yeah I could buy rivaldo with the galsgow celtic :) but there's another problem, the first years, no player seem to bet in the end of his contract, all the contracts end after 2004, that's not very realistic...

People were saying Raul was not in the game.

Vivas = Raul

"Vivas" will appear on Real Madrid and I recognized it instantly.

(I believe it's Vivas anyway.. something with a V)

of course it's vivas :
a very good player, who has the number 7 in real madrid, who is spanish, who could it be? :D
