crouchaldinho Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 How many of you are currently in the process of contemplating this? FM09 is just around the corner, approx. 2 or 3 months away. You've had a great idea for a new long-term save on FM08 but you don't want to get to October/November time only to give up your game for the excitement of starting again on FM09. So what do you do? Start anyway on the current FM... or wait for FM 2009?! :confused: (it usually always happens to me that I'm really into a save when FM09 comes out and I'm torn painfully between giving up the save for a new one on the latest FM or carrying on - I always give in to the new edition! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Anecdotalist Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 New game, all the way..... In the meantime you can wait for the patch(es) to be published, and for the game price to come down! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few things in my life where price doesnt matter. Cannot think of many things better value for money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranjith Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I will get FM09 of course, but will continue playing patched FM08, since I've got a decent multi-player game going with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romario Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Im still playing FM 08, but i did start getting a little board of it, as i know most of the good players to buy, so to keep me intrested untill fm 09, ive start unenpolyed and gone on holiday untill 2020, this way all the players from the start will be old/retired meaing i will have to scout all the regens, plus in the save now, blackburn & villa are in a awful state in the championship, so going to try and manage one of those and make them good again.

crouchaldinho Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 News FM 08 cos FM 09 probably won't be playable till the first or even second patchI just started a new game last night FM is normally playable straight away in my opinion. Having said that, FM08 was a million times better by patch 8.0.2 than it was in the first release. That is one of the big pains of new FM games actually. Usually, a new patch requires you to start a new game for the full effect, which means that you often start three or four games when the new edition comes out before getting settled into a long-term save.

Mike7077 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Still no info of fm 2009 or a demo coming! Yeah, but it's August 8th today. By my reckoning, that doesn't really count as late August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_flyer10 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Why, why, why?!?!?! I didnt play it for over a month so I thought Im not going to play it in the next 2 months. Theres a bit of a cycle with FM for me. Play it non stop as soon as it comes out, get annoyed with bugs, stop playing it until the 1st patch is out. Play it for months until the summer. Get annoyed with other things, stop playing in the summer, then look forward to next year hoping the previous versions problems have been fixed. I know what will annoy me with this version, all of QPRs signings will have their ratings dropped so they arent any good. Parejo will not be one of the best teenage midfielders in the world in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 After all the problems with FM2008 I have decided to break the habbit of a lifetime and wait until the January update before purchasing FM2009 so I have plenty of time to start a new game. Don't know who I'll pick though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFromTheSouth Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just started what I hope will be my final FM08 game earlier this week. I'm not going to download a database with summer transfers in it - to me, that would reduce some of the fun of delving into FM09 on the day it's released.
