Hard to speculate on a game we've only seen a rolling demo of.

This is something I haven't heard much about, but assuming the match engine is done right and doesn't make it too easy to develop good tactics I guess it will be harder?

The new training etc.. will mean rethinking the whole way we play, and some of us will take longer to adjust for sure, and find it harder as a result. (I know I will be in this group! )

I guess we'll have to wait until the game is released for us to know that unless anyone has tested it and knows how difficult it is already.

I personally hope it's a tincy wincy bit harder than the CM3 series however I reckon it will probably be about the same. Saying that though all the new features the game will include is bound to make it a little bit tougher to begin with but like any game, once you've mastered all of the different features you can go through it fairly easily - much like Iaj' does CM3

Remember though Russ that there is more than one way to play LLM... you can always take jobs at bigger and bigger clubs as your reputation improves.

This may in fact be more realistic, but I agree would not be as fun as taking some tiny club to dizzy new heights.

Well, I've always enjoyed playing career-style anyway. So if that's the way CM4 makes it, that's fine with me.

I think the extra detail in CM4 will give more scope to play to an even more zealous style of LLM. Which will be a good thing in my book, and will make things more difficult.

Hmm.. i imagine there will be conisderable discussion about what is allowed with the new game features when we first start playing.

I never got to grips properly with the CM3 series.

I have had trouble with the training and tactics since day 1. CM 97/98 was the last game where I did something substantial.

CM4 is going to be a nightmare for me. Watch this space for even more failiures.

What LFCfan said about the tactics and training. I had both of them as default for 99% of my CM3 time, and whenever I made my own alterations, things went pear-shaped.

I hope CM4 will be able to let you keep training at a 'standard' level, or have your Assistant to sort them out for you.

Then again I may try and start off doing everything myself, and see where it takes me.

The latter's better, Robbo
