I'll probably stick with normal FM myself. I've had my run of other MMOGs over the years (Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft) and they've sort of lost their appeal. I like to play FM to my own time table and pace, I have a hard enough time trying to win against the AI let alone another human manager.

I would like to play FM Live it sounds pretty good but it also sounds too expensive for my liking.

I personally would prefer a pay-per-game system rather than a pay-per-month. Maybe even for a few quid a month you get 30 matches (1 a day) and for the full price (£7 or whatever) you get unlimited.

I mean comon £84 per year is just too much for me, make it the price of a normal game (£40) and I might be interested.

I just have no interest in FM Live whatsoever. I don't criticise SI for making it. I'm sure there are those to whom it does appeal. But it's not for me.

I find it odd that FM, the most unashamedly single-player experience ever invented (ahem) is "live!".

I've got enough "ZOMG u iz teh looser!" teenagers in my life with my own kid let alone someone elses

I do play online games but only one full time Eve. the other are free and I dabble. Eve costs me £70/80 per year but it is very well established and I play an awful lot in between bouts of FM08.

Football online is a different animal in that it would need to have the same in depth facilities/functions/options etc as the normal game and maybe a bit more re the graphics and the odd surprise (win a competition and get a month free).

Presumably, to entice us you could offer a 14day free trial without having to offer up any Visa etc card details.

Given that it is FM then I would be more interested as you have established yourself as the best Footie sim in the business.

But other online footie games I have seem lack atmosphere. Mind the idea of competing without saving before the game will add a bit of extra spice.

As long as there's no killer tactics and online griefers I await more information.

I know I won't be playing it. - I prefer playing games on my own terms and at my own speed/interest rate.

And I'm guessing it'll most-likely be a subscription based thing, which I've never seen the value in for the customer. You can buy a normal game once for $50 and enjoy it for the rest of your life... or you can pay per month for a subscription, and get only a few months of play out of the same $50.

Plus... I've seen what kind of people make up 99% of online gaming communities.
