Have played the game for about half hour (had to get back off to work).
Very impressed on first impressions.
A little disappointed that there appears to be no crowd sounds whilst in a match. Watching text is ok but would have preferred to hear some sound.
The initial slow setup of game is still there but the matches are calculated pretty fast.

Simply put for the first version (as I've indicated elsewhere) the main thing was to get the game as playable and realistic as possible - now we're more familiar with the systems capabilities we'll be eeking as much power out of it as possible in subsequent versions ...

PS> Glad you're enjoying the game

Have played for a little bit today and i have to say the naviagtion is brilliant and very simple. Has lots of depth, all of the stats that you could ask for! Takes some getting used as i have played FM on PC to death and misses a few things as you would expect.

Match engine seems very impressive although i am currently struggling to win a game. Seem to concede all the time.

So far well worth the money!

The only down side I can see is that I am getting a huge amount of injuries, for months at a time.

I seem to remember this was an issue when the first release of FM2006 came out for the PC, not sure how this could be resolved on the PSP though!

Which team are you playing as and in which league? - if you have a team with elderly (or indeed just injury prone/low stamina) players then consider dropping the training levels slightly to give them a bit more of a break ... this can have a fairly large effect on the number of injuries your side recieve.

Brilliant, being able to play while walking the dog. Now my life is complete.

Playing as Reading, 4th in the League after 5 games. Kitson is a goal scoring machine!

Just a question to people who have managed a team in the Championship. Who is a goal machine in that division? I would suspect Marlon King would get at least 30 a season at that level?
