Everyone says they're goping to buy it in November but when the excitement builds they always give in!

Unless there is gonna be a league editor with the ability to add your own leagues like the baltic states and lower english divisions I wont bother .

I wont buy it at all unless the demo shows a significant advancement over FM08 in all areas.

Don't know if I play fm09 at all. Haven't bothered to install the game since I reinstalled my computer.

Without editor tools like scout I feel it's to much effort and/or to time consuming to deal with versus what I get out of it. And sadly the scout and other tools seems to be one man works that you never know if they are going to turn up or not/when. Great efforts for sure but not very timely.

Maybe I feel different a year from know. But I started to feel rather bored with the game. Even if there are some new things in the game every year it still feels like the same game - like I could do with CM03-04 really.

I'm actually outside Game now on my laptop in my tent waiting for the release.

Pick me up a copy of 09 whilt your there lol

I buy Fm religiously every year so i usually get it on the day of release, or pre-order it on gameplay and get it the day before

I'm just going to skip FM09 all together unless SI finally make changes to tactics and match analysis.

CM4 was released a long time ago, I'm frustrated that SI don't even attempt to perfect tactical settings even more each year. It seems the match engine is so tightly bound to how tactics are currently configured, they have no interest in developing this side of the game further.

Each year since CM4 was released there have been threads started by people asking for less ambiguous tactical settings and greater match analysis information. Each year it goes ignored and we are still left to scratch our heads in frustration on what everything means and how it relates to the 2D match view.

Perhaps this will be CM's year for a quality game so we can have a real alternative.

Chances are I'll preorder it, or if not go to a shop on day of release and play religiously for a few days

No rush this time, I'll keep my money in my pocket until the majority feel the game is at an acceptable level of playability.

If we buy by Feb, then it would be 6-9 months more before the next version is out.

Also, I've some reservations on buying a new version each year now as I could only see very little improvements or worse when there are even more problems.
