I didn't play it much, just enough to see what had changed, and that what little I know about tactics hadn't been swept away by the new version.
To be honest, I found it fairly easy - certainly no harder than 07. IIRC I had a quick blat with Gretna (I think) and a club in the bottom Finnish division, played 3-4 games with each and did pretty well. Admittedly I'm not what you might call a tactical finesse man, so I may not have been as exposed to any changes as others.
I played an hour against 9 men last night (who lined up as 4-4-0) and they created more chances in the next 60 minutes than I did. With experience I'll crack it...
I certainly enjoyed playing and personally I kinda like the new skin. As others have said, the same just slightly different. I think it's going to be a while before any sort of major revision (like the 2D match engine) comes along and shakes the game up.
I'm finding it a tad bit easier this time round (im certainly finding it easier being bury anyways), i cant wait to try out the whole LLM thing, something i havent done before due to me not really frequenting these forums.
One thing that im worried about is me laptop aint actually that great and doubt it can cope with loads of leagues running which i see so many other people do on here =/

Don't worry about running many leagues, the most important thing is to ensure at least one league goes all the way to the lowest rung avaliable and that you have a large database. Alot of people like to have many leagues because they hop around alot, others, myself included like to generally stay in one league and flirt around in that, or maybe the big 5.
As each new version of FM comes out they try to make it less resource intensive, not more. I know thet the step from 06 to 07 was quite significant in that I could run lots more leagues than before.
Hopefully the same will be true on 08, and it will save and load much quicker too.
Even a rubbish laptop should be able to run England, Scotland and Ireland on large.
