Does anyone on OTF still play FM?

I had a good SP and MP FM07 game. Was sad to say goodbye to my UEFA winning Hibs team.

couldn't go back to 01/02, much as i loved it at the time - tried last year and there's just no depth to it (in comparison to FM), instantly got completely bored.

fm08 seems to be getting a slating, i'm fairly optimistic though. not really seeing all these flaws with it that people are going on about - couple of (admittedly crucial) tweaks to the match engine and there's a great little game there.

hmmmmm

I wonder why you like it?

not sure what you're suggesting there amigo. i HATED fm07 and said so repeatedly and at great length, so it's certainly not researcher/tester blind loyalty

does the new 01/02 have updated european competitions? (ie uefa cup group stage, etc)

Working on it for the next Tapani iirc. All the competition names have been updated, proper teams in Europe for this season etc.

I can see why people go for FM tbh. Just doesn't grab me at all, takes far too long, and just seems full of unnecersary stuff. </BLOCKQUOTE>

I thought that the CL 2nd groupstage and UEFA straight knockout format was hard coded into the game, meaning it would be nigh on impossible to change? </BLOCKQUOTE>

It is, yeah. Personally I'm not bothered at all by it, quite enjoy the 2nd CL group stage actually, but it's probably the 2nd biggest problem after the transfer periods.

Not played less than 20 seasons with any version of FM but hating the demo of 08, have it pre-ordered but no idea how much I will play it. Game is horrendously slow and clunky and just ugly as hell. Tend to play it in the background anyway so will get some use out of it, will likely be the least played version of the game i've ever bought though unless things drastically improve.

Probably because appointing you is the only decent thing they've done in about 3 years.

I actually think it "feels" a bit faster, mainly down to the skin.

I'm torn with the skin now really because I find it makes the game feel more responsive but it's horrific to look at.

Grab a beer, sit back and relax.
