No, not at all, having daft things in like streakers or setting the price of the pies and cup of bovril, would be pointless, after all CM/FM has always been about managing a squad of players, not the day to day admin of running a football club.

I also was not insinuating that the game should be different, but I asked the question about the 5 best things in 2008 as I wanted other players opinions about how 2008 differs from other versions.

Yes I can go play the demo, and I did, but like I wrote in the other post above, perhaps I didn't play it long enough.

Maybe my original post title was wrong, perhaps I should have titled it What's good and bad about FM2008?

There are plenty of T*ts in the premiership, just look at Titus Bramble!!!!

You and everyone else who moans about the "latest" one.

Here are my 5 reasons:

1. You like management games
2. Whether you like it or not, FM is the best one
3. If you stop thinking of it as an extension of your own reality, and start thinking of it as a video game (which it is, by the way), it's actually very enjoyable and a great game.
4. It has a few new features that are worth seeing, just being the latest one
5. Seriously, what else would you be doing? </BLOCKQUOTE>


In reply:-

1. Yes, CM/FM did, and it might again cause me a lot of late nights.
2. It is certainly the market leader.
3. One thing I've never done with any PC game is actually think it's real life, a game is just a game.
4. The reason for asking peoples 5 of the best question.
5. Playing the Saxophone, working very late, reading.

This is a very good point. However, I tend to find myself looking for an extremely realistic experience from FM. Thing is, though, I feel that that is exactly what I get from it. By and large, each iteration seems to become more and more realistic. I make no apology for being the kind of player that wants to real feel immersed in the whole experience as if it was real. Don't get me wrong, I know where to draw the line. I don't bite the cat when I lose. I don't lie awake (much) worrying about it. But I do like it to feel as realistic as possible. I feel, though, that SI achieve this. If anything, it's the thing I like most about FM. It's become so damn realistic! That is why I would never even consider switching to any of it's so-called competitors.

I'm not going to try to persuade you. The thing you need to do is play the game and not read these forums! Play the game and judge for yourself, honestly, it's the best way.
