Default Can FM09 be more challenging please...

I remember in FM07 when i built a great squad i still had a strong challenge from 1 or 2 teams for the title, but in this years version once i built a midtable team or top 3-4 team to a strong squad i run away with the title by at least 12 points! it would be good if FM09 can be on the same level of difficulty as FM07, hell even better would be if FM09 can provide level of difficulty to suit all games like novice, amatuer, expert like most good games provide... can someone from SI take this into account????

Look at it this way...


People moan soooo much now about how they can never win even with a world class squad, so imagine how much they'd moan if SI were to make the game harder :eek:


Also the Novice, Amatuer (same thing arent they i thougt it was Intermediate?) and Expert levels make the game seem too arcade-like.

Just my opinion.


(Think its too late for changes in 09 anyway)

At corners, do you have someone challenging the goalkeeper? Is your CB the top scorer? If so, try playing without the corner exploit (I hesitate to call it a "cheat" because it's a legitimate part of the game).

Not having a go here, just curious, because like coolbananas says, even with a world class team it's very difficult to walk the league. I found FM07 much easier. If you impliment the corner exploit an ape can win the league with Derby.

I would absolute HATE to see something like this on a future edition. How would an "easier" level work? Give the gamer's players better stats than every other team? When you sign a player he automatically jumps a few points? Every other manager perhaps drops a couple of stats perhaps?

Sorry, but I can't see this ever working in FM. It's not that sort of game.

try a different league then. there are plenty to choose from. try looking in the challenge forum (link at the top of the forum page) for ideas.
