Football Manager 2007

After many crap attempts where my download stops, I have a torrent downloading thanks to Dan Albeit a lot slower but I can play it when I finish school today

The transfer system is still fucked. Its amazing how another team refuses to pay anything more than what one of your players is valued, but when someone like George Boeteng is valued at 4 million, they won't accept anything less than 27 million.

God, I've got 26 days before the start of the EPL and no friendlies scheduled. Either I'm clueless or I can't seem to schedule any friendlies.

[ONO]

I love the scouting system, especially the estimated price of players.

Anyway, my Portsmouth team are fucking owning the league. We may be 8th now, but read me out. We were lingering above relegation, and Baros and Barton aren't living up to their price tags at all.

Untill..

Along came Arsenal, we beat them 3-0. We are the team who constantly picked up draws with teams like Sheffield United etc. We have Everton next, nice, Baros scores a 90th minute goal, we pick up the win. Man Utd are next in line, it's 1-1 and again Baros scores a 90th minute goal. Three out of three so far. It's 2-2 against Fulham, Mendes is fouled in the box in the 90th minute, and again we pick up a victory. Fucking sweet. I'm not complaining.

I like the media comparisons. Apparently Chelsea 17-year old Scott Sinclair could be "the next Geoff Hurst"! lol!

Loving the demo so far, never picked up 2006 version so i'll most definatley buy this one when it's released.

Like others have said the tutor feature is really cool. At the moment i've got Henry tutoring Walcott, first game I linked them together Walcott scored.

Not started the actual season yet, about to play my last friendly match and then got a Champions league qualifiers match.

The media is pretty cool, not had a look at the scouting features yet.

blimmin love it. kinda got bored of FM2006 mainly cause i have quite a slow PC but im loving the demo.

joined randomly as Middlesbrough and was loosing 6 on the trot in the league then i get questioned by the media whether i have lost faith in my team i said of course not im 100% behind the team.

then we beat watford 1-0 then spurs 4-1 and then reading 2-0 but now im in debt, the board pay off £4 million but now im 2 million in debt. and only have Yakubu, Viduka and Forsell which are pretty crappy upfront now relying on Boro's damn good youth academy which is good and having them tutored by viduka which is a cool addition.

cant wait until it comes out

How do you make people tutor other players?

I'm not sure what it is, but I can't seem to get my teams to play well.

[YI]

It's because you're American.

[gunnar hendershow]

It's because you're American.

Oh cheap shot.

No, first I have players complaining that they don't want an unexperienced manager in charge of their squad. Then they get worried when I try to bring in better players and they just don't play for me at all. I know what the problem is, I just don't see a way to avoid it.

[Thomas]

Buying players in the first transfer window is cheating. You shouldn't pick that team if you don't want their players.

[Big Red Fury]

Tom is right, at what point in history have you ever seen a manager take over a team and then immediately try to sign players whom better suit his style of play?

[gunnar hendershow]

I only transfer on a team I pick when someone offers me a great deal, I never go out of my way to sell players and bring in new ones. Considering the rosters are up to date with the close of the first transfer window this year and all.

And I've started two games, one in the Prem with Newcastle where offers came pouring in for like half my squad in the first few days. Then one with Oxford in the Conference (random selection). Figure I'll get used to both lower and upper leagues in the demo.

[Liam]

Well, when I'm Fulham I tend to stick with who I have, and maybe buy in one or two to give me squad depth, but thats more out of choice than me thinking it is cheating in the first transfer window.

[Thomas]

[ONO]

Well, yeah, it's their game. To be frank, they can do whatever the hell they want in it. If they opt to buy the entire Macedonia squad then so what, does it interfere with your game or life?

Well then, shut up. >_>

[TMM]

Because I'm to lazy to go through the thread or find out, how long does the demo run? Is it until the end of December or something?
