i'd suggest reporting this in the bugs forum, as its obviously quite, quite wrong!!!

seriously though, well done, nice to see someone else enjoying the new game!! :thup:

thanks lads, i just find it strange so many people complain, yet ive had 2 solid games going in fm.

I love this game. Sure it's frustrating when your strikers or mids have a wide open goal and they miss, and when the other team comes back from a 2-0 deficit in the last minute to either draw or get a winning goal, but that's what makes it fun. I'm a competitor and I hate losing, even on video games, so any loss I get really stings. And yes, sometimes it does feel like more of a job than a game, trying to mess with tactics and whatnot, but this game is still darned addictive to me, no matter what problems it has.

If you're winning it's hardly a shock that you'll enjoy it.

There are some extremely frustrating bugs, which coupled with bad/indifferent results can make the game extremely annoying.

I suppose the game being buggy makes indifferent/bad results harder to take for some people.

By the way your post will only heighten the "doubters" annoyance, because you're quite clearly just showing off!

The only real problem I've had is the offside bug but after a while I just ignored it.

Its strange old world though. I'm currently 41 games unbeaten in all comps. Yes - I'm playing as a Prem club, so its probably not that big a shock that I dont experience any 'showstopping bugs' as you doubters call them

Tactically, apart from all corners ending up at the near post (this is a reported bug, right?) i've found the steady progression as I tinkered with formations to be very satisfactory. Now and again, the team has off days which resulted in a draw, but thus far thus goodus.

agreed im really into it, on the demo i hated the skin, but now i quite like it ( please dont shoot me)
the bugs dont bother me so much not happy about the attendance bug one bit but match engines never gonna be perfect, and would be ***** as 3d.

fm 08 so far for me no perfect but highly enjoyable :thup:
