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...

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?

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.

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
