I am sick to death of people bashing FM for various reasons and this is just a rebuttal, I'm pretty sure this will be closed soon, so I apologise to Ter and the others in advance!
I just cannot understand the level of complaining that people have about this version! Yes, there are bugs, yes there are areas that could be improved, but I love it all the same.
I love the intricacies. I love the fact that if you make the effort in the game, it rewards you most times, dumps you on your arse the others.
There are legions of IRL stories about teams that were 'too good to go down' but did. This is the same as FM, people trying everything and being unable to halt a slide. Great! Not having a single tactic for every game? Great! It makes you think. For years, we picked one tactic and won everything in sight, now you have to watch the opposition and react!
I've just got Wolfsburg to second place in the Bundesliga, 13 points behind Bayern and it feels like a win to me. THAT is the feeling that FM gives me, I'm so proud of this achievement because of all the hard work I put in with my own tactics, set-ups and transfers.
Next season, I'll probably finish 10th, so I need to work on how I'm going to keep my team at that level. Not just coast through, like I did on previous incarnations.
In short, this incarnation is better than 07, as 07 was better than 06 and so on. Well done SI! KUTGW :thup:
OT: how long did it take you to get Wob there?
they have a few decent player and quite a bit of money because of VW but the squad also has lots of dead wood and average players so it takes some time to rebuild. finished season 2 with them on place 7 getting into the Euro Vase though
i think the reason why there are so many complaints this year is because there were so many migrators from the inferior management games, which also explains why there are so many "when is the next patch out" & "when is fm09 out" questions. seasoned FMers would know the answers.
loads of the new players didn't really know what to expect, so they expected fm08 to be the best management game ever, and in comparison to the other management games in 2007 it is tbh.
there is so much more in fm08 to fm07, 50%-60% of features/improvements are worthwhile, the rest has potential. but to see so many people describe this game as unplayable is a joke.
I got in a certain flavour-of-the-month Russian midfielder and run with the young Senegal striker as a target man. This, coupled with selling half the squad and replacing it with players that suit my designated tactics helped immeasurably.
I have to agree FM08 is awesome and in my opinion it is the best one out of all of them. Every game has a few faults but FM08 doesn't have any faults that make it unplayable of any less enjoyable than I expected.
I have never had a better feeling from playing a computer game than watching Zarate score a 118 minute winner for my QPR side in the FA cup final.

If you don't mind, I would rather there be no criticism of FM in this thread, there are plenty of other threads to post in if you are dissatisfied.
And I disagree whole-heartedly with your statement
FM 2008 is g****
