First impressions

[dirion]

So, finally it's here, the new Football Manager game, got it in the mail today, and I can't wait to get starting with FM08, haven't played enough to get any impressions yet, but please post your first impressions of the game

 

[fender]

Oh its out, probably only gonna get it next week.

 

[Da Kid]

very nice graphics...i am very happy to have this game...
fm08>fm07 for now

 

[Zlatan]

I'm wondering if I should buy it. I could go for the shops tomorrow but I've got some exams coming up next week, so I probably won't be able to play the game any time soon anyway. Might aswell buy it a few weeks later.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

yup, have to wait one week. Stupid exam next week

 

[Áļéאָ]

Positive.
Tho Ive not yet gtused to the new skin , kinda annoys me because I cant really play and enjoy it, for now.

 

[Yossarian]

[Johnny_Big]

[kramer11]

It's on my list, probably after Xmas when one or two of the patches have been released.

This is a good game but the only downfall with it is the stats for certain players, some of them are way off. Ive just had to spend an hour changing them in the editor. There is also a severe lack of player pictures in the game, theres only the spanish league and David Beckham!. Apart from the minor problems it is a very good game

Elano
Kameni
Barry
Gareth Bale
Berbatov
Joe Cole
Anderson
Nani
David Bently
Milner
Martins

 

[rony31]

played 6 games with City so far. 6 draws. brought in Collins John on loan.

 

[Johnny_Big]

I'm finding hard for my defensive line to be consistent. I suffer a lot, but I score more. Still, I had 2 consecutive 1-0 losses, and I didn't deserve to lose them. One was for the CL. There I go to UEFA Cup

 

[Filipower]

this one's harder than never i'm having a bit of a fight to find a working tactic, although i am playing with Boro atm, so

I don't suppose you support Man Utd do you? God, get over yourself. The game is based on many more things than potential alone.

Hargreaves has a CA of 171, which is huge, his potential ability is 179, which is equally huge. Are you really saying that you think Owen Hargreaves is gonna become far better than he is now at Man Utd? If so you're gonna be sadly disapointed my friend.

I mean Nani is even better! You've got him with a CA of 150, and a potential ability of -9. I mean for ****s sake, the guy could be a god with those kind of ratings.

Don't listen to this joker ffan.

 

[Áļéאָ]

Meh, some ppl just cannot be taken seriously.
The other day I was out with a friend, and he brought another friend of his with, one that I didnt even know. So we started talking about things and we ended up talking about FM07. And you know what he said after a while? "Yeah, but I liked LMA on PS1 much more. It was much better"
You CANNOT take some people seriously.

 

[Zlatan]

You actually meet people IRL who like FM.

Well, actually that's not truth, I've met a few who play it aswell. But when I just started playing CM nobody I knew played the game.

 

[Filipower]

haha, what a moron

 

[Tom]

Eight people in the last two weeks who've come into PCWorld looking for FM I've told:

"You know, i'm in the credits of FM08..." to which every single one has replied: "Wow!? Really!?"

Oh, and they weren't being sarcastic Honest..
