So i cant be the only one addicted to it around here, i know robi's a fan of the series.

Just won the world cup with England, kicking ass as Man utd. Literally won everything.

08"S"? FM08 SPAM?

I'm not so excited about it as the previous versions. It has nothing to do with the game, but more that I can't find the patience to play it. That I haven't figured out the broken lineup after the first half of the season could count as well...

Not sure what it is.

I played it a little bit, my first season I was promoted but then got nailed by all the good teams

I love the CM/FM series. Just don't get enough time to play it. I have FM07 and seeing that there is nothing particularly new in 08 i wont be getting it.

Do you have a special formation you use simon?

BCLG100 · 15-11-2007, 18:50

Stoopid typos.

Well for me, i havent had an FM since i think 06, so theres been quite a few improvements, my formation is 4-4-1-1 with the wingers swapping and the forwards swapping between each other, fast tempo hard tackling, very attacking football!

Also found some quality players, mainly south american, Lulinha, guilherme, torje.

Theres a couple of bugs in the new game, for instance if you expand your stadium it only stays expanded for a few days before reverting to what it was before but taking your bank balance with it! that and your not remembered in the hall of fame, i've won 3 leagues and about 10 cups inclpuding the world cup but im nto mentioned there for some reason :s

Still quite an enjoyable game seeing as i got it for free!

I'm only midway through my second season. My orginal game got lost when i forgot to back it up to transfer to my new computer

.

I started unemployed and got a job at Thun in swizterland. Won the cup and finshed second in the league in the first year. That quilified me for europe where i lost to inter milan in the second round of the uefa cup but it was only 5-4 on agg. so i did well.

I haven't yet got my 3-1-3-1-2 fine tuned which i've used since cm2 96/97 but i'm having success with my 3-4-1-2. The tend to play a more continental style with short passing and medium tempo. I also having pressing turned up.

Played a lot of football managers when I was at school...

(Don't know how the English versions of Anstoss and Bundesliga Manager Hattrick were called...)

Now it is a little too time consuming for me so I rather play Civ or if I have little time Colin McRae Rally or PES.

You haven't got the deodorant version, have you? Apparently sega put some easter eggs for the "less copyright inhibited people" among us. Release versions of this game are usually bug ridden, this'll not be different this time.

Mines pretty smelly i'll be honest, as in the smelliest as everything was downloaded. For a knock down price. Its a pretty small .rar file tbh for a game
