Thank You For Taking Part.

FM07

For:

Better than either game in every way. Except for coach reports.

Against:

Nothing. Except for lack of coach reports.

Personally I think the best was FM 07, lack of coach reports was annoying but in every other way it was a great game. It is also the game I have spent the longest playing one save unlike 08 and this years.

haven't tried the FM09... but I had one of my longest (if not the longest career, as AC Milan manager) on FM08... had some great youth talents... Pirlo was like the best player I've ever trained since I started playin CM/FM... etc...

...once you get into the FM08, it can be a lot of fun... but then again, there are some bugs and the unfinished features that only ruin the game... but from what I can see on the forum, I bet 08 is better than 09.

...also, now I'm trying to get back into the FM07 and see (remind myself) what the fuss is all about on this game... all I can remember from it was that I had a great career at Newcastle, turned down Liverpool and it's very important to have a good Target-man (Luca Toni or Iaquinta)...

DRM - If this wasn't included this year I'd have bought the game, as it is, my judgement is purely made from playing the demo

3D Match Engine - Not the best, and 3 years working on this?!

Media Interaction - Too repetitive

Too many injuries, even in the patched demo I get too many injuries.

I'm sticking with FM08 for now, I have a great game going on where I'm 13 seasons in and have taken Gillingham from League Two to the Premiership, been playing the same save since the 3rd of January!

If you are basing your arguement on the demo then whats the point? the new patches have changed it a lot. The DRM wont be a problem now i shouldnt think. granted it was a pain on release day

id go with fm09 mate. or fm07. just skip 08. IMO 09 is a really enjoyabl, rewarding game, with some bugs that are certainly not game-breakers! (despite some peoples over-statements)

Funnily enough, I can't afford it atm , I'm waiting for it to come down in price a bit more then I may consider buying it.

*sigh*
