if i bid for a player like i bidded 20 mill for micah richards man city wanted 24 so i negotiated at 22mill then they want 27mill then i say 25mill and then they want 31mill

Totally agree with you here I think this is a ridiculos part of the game and i'm dissapointed it hasn't been adressed for FM08 :thdn: </BLOCKQUOTE>
Agree with this, it's happened to me a few times with various players. It's very silly.

Also on the subject of transfers, when a team inquire or make a bid for my player, they NEVER follow up the inquiry. Fair enough if I ask for stupid amounts, but I don't. Even if I ask for a price lower than their value, teams won't follow up on their inquiry. Very annoying, I want teams to negotiate more!

Hallelujah!

Already playing 08 about 30% more per day than 07 and I played that one way too much!

I thought it was because I started low balling for the player.

I had an initial offer of 12 mil, I offered 7 mil, They counted at 10 mil, I offered 7 mil. They came back with 17 mil, and then sold him to Newcastle for 7.5 mil plus bonuses.

I just thought the AI was sick of my antics so it was their way of telling me to get lost.

Well i alreadt pointed out the match engine has a clossing down issue which everyone knows about, now people go on about we now need a 3d match engine to take the game to the next step i personalyl feel this could be the worse thing for FM as the 2d engine isnt perfect after like 5 years, Why can't the dug outs also be at the bottom of the pitch, why can't we see rain or snow falling onto the pitch, why can't be maybe even see like banners and billboards round the side of the pitch to make it feel like we're playing in a stadium than a plot of land? Also why is it when commentray says the players are surronding the ref the players never are surrounding the ref, why can't i see my players running to the ref or the linesman? also why can't in rival games we see players all pushing annd squaring up to each other when a nasty challenge is made abit like man utd vs arsenal when ruud missed the peantly for example why can't some small things be put into the match engine to take it to the next step so it don't just feel like i'm buying a updated fm 07, but infact it actually feels like i bought a updated fm 06.

AI

Im sorry, but whilst I can agree that FM08 isnt hugely different to say its backward and listing what you have there is a little over dramatic.

Dugouts at the top of the screen ? Who cares..

Snow and rain faliing ? Who cares

Players surrounding the ref ? Who cares

Nothing you have suggested would make the match engine any better and I dont see how them not being introduced means the game has moved backwards.

If anything after the patch and seeing how the passing has improved and the player movement with fullbacks overlapping and linking properly with wingers its moved forwards.

What I would like to see is what is on the text should be said like a comentator. Make it a useful addition.

To me this has to be the next progression.

Commentary was on an old version, it became extremely tedious very quickly.

Lots of people on here way to picky.

I laugh when I see "this is the worst game of all time!!!!!!!!" and then their reason is because there are no dugouts, or something stupid like their 07 tactic doesn't work anymore and they are losing.

give me a break this is a great game and when they patch it will be awesome

When I first read the title of this thread, I thought someone had discovered a bug where the game clock went backwards!! Lol,what a bug that would be! ha ha

Completely agree and sorry for bringing this up but i have just played the championship manager 08 demo and i thought it was terrible. So i would always stick with fm08 because whatever anybody says this is the most realistic management sim around.
