when the demo arrives!

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).

haha thanks, guess we aren't allowed to question the demo release in thread titles either!

I'll play it till the year 3322.

bUY rONALDO for 200mil over 24 months it only lasts for 6 lol

I suppose not, you're welcome anyway, thought it would be a good discussion and then realised it was locked, and if you're a Villa fan (from your post) I shouldn't have been so kind

bUY rONALDO for 200mil over 24 months it only lasts for 6 lol

When you say you'll be buying Ronaldo do you mean the fat Brazilian or the Portugese winker? Anyway I take it you'll be playing as Man City because I doubt any other team will have that kind of money.

Never even thought of that..

I might get both, then let them both rot in the reserves! There will be no time for silliness like that from November 14th onwards, serious business then :thumup:

No suprise it was you who would take it?!

edit: I will probably just stare at some of the features then run around and then get down to business!

edit2: Liam Connor just got hit by the car! For those Corrie fans out there, or those who are forced to watch!

Well what can I say?. That Tony geezer is a nasty piece of work. but were going a bit OT here.

I am undecdided wether or not to download the demo , but if i do , it will pnly be to test out the new features and get used to them , but i will manage a team which i wouldnt in the official game , as i want to save Newcaste , Gateshead and Starting unemployed until the official game is released.

One of his eyes are bigger than the other.

To keep it on topic: I am really looking forward to the demo and am certain it won't ruin my experience as in the demo I will not play as a LL team, just to keep it a suprise when I start unemployed!

I'll probably just play as Spurs for six months, twice.

By then the full game will be out.

Another question, will you rush through the demo or will you play slowly and walk through it!

I cant remember correctly but the demo is only a quick start. So players will often move to the same club on it.

I'll do what I usually do. Play the full 6 months as Spurs, then start off with Mansfield (seeing as they're in a lower division than Notts County now) and see how the players are there, ready for my full game.

Manage Man United for 6 months.

Manage Man United for 6 months.

Do you do this in the full game, as in play with Man United or do you play with other teams!

I will try my favorite team Brøndby (Denmark) and then the San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS and then Los Angeles Galaxy.

Do you do this in the full game, as in play with Man United or do you play with other teams!

I always start with Man United and this is usually the game I most enjoy but I also manage other teams and like playing career type games.

On FM08 I managed all these for a reasonable length of time: Man United, Middlesbrough, AFC Wimbledon, Gretna, Chimney Corner, Kildare County, Bohemians, Young Boys, PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Real Betis, River Plate, Houston Dynamo, Kedah, Nigeria, Mexico, Austria, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Argentina and Republic of Ireland. I can't think of any more.

How about you?

A always start unemployed and find I can only enjoy a game if I do this, strange I know!

Teams I've managed for 5 or more seasons

England:

Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Fulham, Sunderland, Leicester, Woking, Exeter

Rest:

Palermo, Juventus, Betis, Osasuna, Montpellier, Nautico

I think that's it, this year I'm really just looking forward to managing Aston Villa but I'm sure I'll play a lot more unemployed career games than I ever have in the past, if the regens are fixed.

This is what I am riding on to whether I will really get into an unemployed career game

I think you probably have managed more than I have then as I only have 3 games that I played for at least 5 seasons - Man United, AFC Wimbledon and a Career game that saw me manage PSV, Real Madrid, Betis, Middlesbrough, River Plate, Nigeria and Mexico.

In the demo's 6 months I will take mighty fulham to the dizzying heights of 14th place!! If I can do better than that, the game is not very realistic.

I will play as meny games as possible with Milan - test the new "3d" engine - report ME bugs on forum.

Oh National teams I have no clue, I've managed quite a few but usually bounce around from Asian and African nations, only good national teams I've been a part of was my US squad that reached the WC semi-finals and my French side that had a great team but bombed out of two consecutive WCs.

And I forgot I have managed another game for at least 5 seasons as manager of Republic of Ireland. I usually like managing national teams along with a club job but usually have a game just as manager of Ireland.

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.

Yeah you can but wasn't there a problem in FM08 as if you did this the correct teams did not qualify for Euro 2008. Hopefully a similar problem does not happen this time.

Hey I remember that, I didn't know it had anything to do with continuing the saved game though I just thought it was a bug in general.

Hope we don't see that again.

Yeah continuing the save game from the demo caused this to happen. I hope as well.

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

haha crazy, I don't even know half of those teams

Having just checked my save-games, I have an apology.

Ascoli, AIK and Italy were actually only four seasons. Although Italy felt like about twelve

And I'm sure I'm missing a Polish team somewhere...

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!

I'll start the demo with Exeter (will start as them in the full game too).

When I've done the 6 months, I'll do it again with Forest Green and Middlesbrough before trying it with a few random teams (depending on time allowances).

I will use it to see any possible flaws and post if necessary though I find SI usually figure these out themselves.

I'll play a few friendlies, try out the ME. I will not scout or sign anyone, as I want to try that out only in my career games.

bUY rONALDO for 200mil over 24 months it only lasts for 6 lol

or do 10 international appearences that generally works aswell

I always start with Man United and this is usually the game I most enjoy but I also manage other teams and like playing career type games.

I can't think of any more.

How about you?

Define reasonable?

If we take 5 season or longer...

Newport-county

Rosenborg

ManUtd

Newcastle

Real Madrid

Liverpool (Only team that offered me a contract... I felt like not taking it, but I was managing newport, and let's face it. You don't give up a premiership management job.....)

England ( 62 games undefeated, using Beckham for 2 years more than I should have, won all competitions ^_^)

Norway

Italy

Spain

i'll be managing Celtic! what a suprise!
