peter-evo Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Seeing as Rekluse's latest thread got strangely closed here it is with a nonmisleading title But when the demo DOES come out, how many of you will actually play it fully through? Or how many of you will simply start new games with every available team figuring out transfers etc since you can't wait for the editor in the full game to see such things? How many hours do you think you'll spend on the demo? Personally, I'll most likely start with a new manager for every single EPL, Serie A, and La Liga team and probably spend a week on the demo with Aston Villa, (for me, Birmingham City).

Kain Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'll do what I usually do.

Carl87 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'm going to take it seriously because you can continue the saved game, can't you? I wouldn't want to do anything silly i.e buy a player for a ridiculous amount of money and pay over 12/18months because I know the demo ends in 6months.

VonBlade Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Another question, will you rush through the demo or will you play slowly and walk through it! I rush through the first time to get a feel for it. I find the new stuff surprises me more if I'm just playing rather than looking for new text strings etc. Then I'll play it really slooooow to drag it out to release. It's nice to buy players I never buy because being 30 doesn't matter in a six month game. It's nice to watch matches on extended highlights because I prefer career games with regens so play on instatext. All in all, especially with 3d, I'm looking forward to this demo. I just hope that the three major issues from 08 (regens, insanely repetitive media and confidence) are fixed. If they are and nowt is added I'll still be a happy VB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy13 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Well I plan to play as AFC Wimbledon in the full game so I will use the demo as Arsenal to get used to every feature FM09 has to offer. I will also be using these boards for things I may have missed so that when the full game is released I am fully prepped to go long-haul with the mighty Dons. I will not edit or cheat - I simply want to take them to the EPL and also win the FA Cup in a repeat of 1988! Yes I know, that will probably take about 20 years!
