FM Live doesn't appeal to me as I like playing my own game in my own way. My only concern with it is that it will take valuable resources away from FM 2009+ and that the boxed game will be the poorer partner of the two schemes. Hope that doesn't happen.

I agree with that totally, it would make you worry.They do have 2 teams working on both games, but I hope Live dosen't take away from FM2009. There is still so much potential!

No interest in FM Live what-so-ever.

Not for me either I don't think..

No interest in FML either if it has the same match engine as FM08.

I personally don't think I will play the new live version, I prefer playing my own games, just wondering were many considering buying it?

You do play your own games in FM Live against another human opponent. Each match has a resolution date when it has to be played by and before that you can play the opponents AI team or the match will be auto resolved if no-one plays it.

FM Live doesn't take any resources away from the FM project

I agree it would have been great idea when i was a student with LOADS of time on my hands, but i prefer to play at my own pace now.

Hmm, putting it that way, I may have a go at it.

But If I may ask, do you have any plans for bug exploiting, cheating, editors and all that? That's my main concern with games is people will find ways to cheat and constantly win. Just find it interesting on what the plans for that may be.

Assuming there is a North American release, I will give it a shot. I don't think that the game will be as time intensive as some people are predicting. If it's anything like some of the other online management games out there, you will be able to get by with checking on your team every couple of days or so.

I won't be playing it either. Never have played online type games before and don't plan to start now. They just don't appeal to me. Sorry SI.
