Football Manager 2008

[Baddar]

Mine arrived this morning from thehut.

Sweeeeeet.

Here's hoping Asda will sell it today then. Looking forward to this game. I haven't really played much of the FM series due to a shit PC I had before this one, meaning it'd run, but very slow...which is why I took 2007 back.

The demo runs fast as f**k on this PC, so I'm hoping (and under good authority that it will) 2008 will run fast too.

Mine will arrive tomorrow when I download it.

I have no shame, and no money.

Just had this email of play.com:

unfortunately out of our control and we hope it doesn't inconvenience you. ***

Damn Royal Mail.

[9 to 5]

Is the first of 3 or 4 patches out yet?

[Dan]

My first game is with N.Ireland.

Trying to take them to the euro's! Come on!

[cmb211087]

When someone gets the actual game, and has also played the deom, can you please tell me if they have changed the match engine? It would be appreciated

[Baddar]

Well, I couldn't get it up Asda...but my mate bought it from Virgin in town for £25. I'll wait til 2moro now I think.

[nickhastie2004]

According to todays Sun newspaper (UK) Tesco are selling it today!

[cmb211087]

Everyone are selling it today, Si brought the release forward

[Baddar]

BOOOOOOOM - I shall have it within an hour. Mate bringing it home from work with him.

[Guest Zeokage]

I've just come home with the package from work, with staff discount no less! RRP is £24.99 it seems. For once I'll have a chance to keep up with you guys as the thread progresses through this year.

[craguuscool]

I've got the game! Will install and play tonight!!

[Baddar]

Got it and on it now. Will probably begin my first "serious" game after the 1st patch comes out. Which I'm hearing has definitely been ruled out of being released tomorrow. So it's more likely to be Monday if anything.

Quote - SI Managing Director

NeilUK - no patch on Friday. I can guarantee that. No date is set, but it's not ready yet.

Duke Hashimoto is like the sexiest name ever. I don't care that's he's only slightly good. HE'S MINE FOR TFC! TFC!

[Guest Kou]

The way they treated the Designated Player shit in MLS is horrid. It replaces Key Player, so of course your good players want to have it but if you're not blowing tons of money on them it's useless. But they won't say yes to First Team. Boo.

[Liam]

Since I didn't play the demo, what has changed between 07 and 08, other than data/stats?

[JimbobJoylove]

Out of interest, what are the transfer status' of Mascherano and Tevez? Loans with buyouts?

[stokeriño]

Since I didn't play the demo, what has changed between 07 and 08, other than data/stats?

It's "speedyfastier", according to the manual. >_>

And various other things which I don't have time to type out now at work... Got it on my desk first thing this morning, yay.

[Timmoru Suzuki]

I'm getting this sometime next week, after I've gotten the majority of a big piece of uni work out of the way. If I buy it today, I know I'll not get work done, so I'm trying to be good. Also, I want to find it for less that £25. I hope Sheff Utd are still as awesome in the full game as they were in the demo.

[wozzi]

I was surprised to see the game in the post this morning, afterall I only ordered the game Wednesday evening and with the postal problems I was'nt expecting the game until early next week.
