Rubinja is infamous around these parts
Default First impressions ... (of what should be a great game)

Hi everyone,

Today, Thursday the 29th of November, one day earlier than planned, around 17h20, I bought something that I've been waiting for and dreaming of for months: Football Mananger Handheld 2008.

I cancelled all my plans for tonight, as I will start playing a game that I expect will be awesome. It's 6 'o clock now, and I don't have to appear at work till tomorrow moring 11am, so'll have enough time to keep you posted with my first impressions.

I live in Belgium, my favorite team is KV Mechelen, so I started up the Belgian League with my side. All I need now is food, drinks and a fully charged PSP.

Coming back soon to report from Belgium,

Rubinja



PS I paid 45 euro for the game at Gamemania

First impressions...

I just love the new skin! Still easy, if not easier, to navigate and have the feeling that text is easier to read because of the bright colour scheme.

The Belgian teams are very up to date. My own team, KV Mechelen is 100% accurate, all the players are there. Praise the Lord for the Reserve team, so surplus players won't bother me for an entire season.

Other things:

* no match sound :-(
* no attendances
* nice player interaction (not with loaned players though)
* more detail on the national teams
* no detailed financial info
* custom tactics, yes!!!
* 2 scouts (head scout, scout)
* nice position-overview per player

For my game:

Realistic Board expectations: newly promoted team so: stay clear of relegation. Small transferbudget (9k). Still lot under my wagebudget, so I signed twee free players (tip: turn "interested" off). One month into the game, played two friendlies: draw against Antwerp (2nd div) and won 4-1 against non-league team. Feels very realistic.

More later, check out the screenshots

Under the impression that there's more commentary (so the game/match goes slower) than in previous versions, even if you put it on fast or very fast. But then again, only played a couple of games....
