few questions regarding 2009, can i use my facepacks from 08? also 3d engine???

Well, havnt been on the forums for a while.

Have to say well done to everyone who have worked on the game, its looking good.

I had 2nd thoughts about getting it this yr, was gonna try CM09..but im having doubts now.

So onto my questions.

I have a large collection of graphics for FM08, facepacks/kits/logos... will i still be able to use these? if not then i might have a look around or keep an eye out to see what people are making for the new game.

3d Engine, very nice... had a feeling it would happen.

So a quick question, will we see players do tricks? will i be able to notice if a player has a sudden burst of speed? will each player have individual AI in the game and will it show on the pitch?

I think it would be good to see my wingers running up the touchline, dribbling past the defenders before putting a killer cross into the box.

Yes.

And yes.

The 3d engine is just a different graphical representation of the match engine. So if in 2d you can see a mazy dribble from your speedy winger, then you will in 3d too.

There is one engine, but 3 representations for it. Commentary only, 2D and 3D. What you see in 2D you will see in 3D..only it will be in, well, 3D.

yeah, just been reading up on the 3d engine on the sticky, looks promising

thank god about the graphics/facepacks, i think ive finally got the majority of everyone on my game now ive got the Orcrists collection...fantastic facepacks

Which ones? The only link that I can find to their mega facepack is in japanese
