Trevor L. Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well at the expense of starting a war. I have been playing this game since just about the beginning, so I think I have a right to an opinion. First this is THE best managment game on the market. Thank you SI for making it. Second, every year all we hear is how this years versions sucks and I quit and am never playing this again. While I agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion and should have a place to voice that opinion, it does make it hard to wade throught the fluff to get to meaningful dialogue. I cannot wait till my copy of WWSM(yes I am one of those trying to open the American market for Sega)gets here. I think a few days is a small price to pay to be able to lead your favorite team to continental glory. It will get here maybe a few days after the rest of the world, but hey won't it be great when it does. I cannot thank the SI guys enought for a great game and Sega for helping to bring it over here to the U.S. You have made a fan for life and I hope someday maybe even help by becoming a researcher or tester or something, just so I could say I helped make a great game. Come on America lets get behind this so SI and Sega keep sendng this great game to our market. Trevor L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Go on son, if all of America realised what a wonderful sport football was this game could sell millions... but they are stuck with rugby with pads Anyway, good luck with when you get it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atredes71 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Show the game to any American fan and it becomes their passion. I think the 3d engine will help the game to grow in popularity, especially since I can see the graphics only improving over time. Of course, we all know the joy of the game is not in the graphics, but it will help attract more consumers and I think it makes managing a side far easier. In addition, I've no doubt THIS game makes more football fans and should be given away on street corners in the states. Now if they would only release it on the 14th instead of the 17th, which has me severely bummed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_G_32201 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 its 72 hours i know that can be a long time if all you do is think about FM and how much you want to play it but it can also be fast if you keep your mind off FM all together.

Atredes71 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Agreed Stevie, but there is considerable difference in releasing on a Tuesday versus a weekend release. I'm just wishful thinking that they will hear my prayers and change it back to the 14th so I can enjoy a sleepless weekend with my favorite game.

torsportsfan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't get it, Americans seem to love Arsenal. I am Canadian and I support Celtic because when the 2002 world cup game came out. Henrik Larsson was a ridicoulous rating so I used him, then I found he was on Celtic. So ever since then I have followed Celtic. You should support MLS its a great league and I cant wait to play with TFC in FM. SI I still dont get the fact that your releasing the game on the 17th. Its madness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee_ram Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm an American, and a girl to boot. I'm a Derby County fan (cue the laughter and remarks about last year).

Trevor L. Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Don't get me wrong I enjoy MLS, and will try a game as a manager of one of the teams. I have a pretty good rivalry with my friend who is a huge Liverpool fan. I enjoy Arsenal just because when I first was introduced to football while I was stationed in Germany there was a local contingent of English soldiers stationed there and they were Arsenal supporters, so I got hooked. Curious does anyone here play with all leagues running. I have since I started with the series and love it. I know takes a while for each day but I think the world is more alive that way. Trevor L.

Don Lebanon Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Truly a great post, being a lifelong liverpool fan, not for the glory but the passion of the team and its loyal fans, hurts to see how Europeans usually think that us "yanks"!!! know nothing about football and judge our entire population upon the majority with disregard to the minority who do truly appreciate football for its tactics and brilliance and always think that us "yanks"!! don't know nothing about the game, nor accept us as one of them (club fans) even though we go all out our way to purchase the game from a foreign country just to learn more about tactics and lead teams to glory.

ctedford Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I became hooked on football after buying WWSM 07. Since then I've really grown to love both games. I try to watch as many games as I can and just recently I learned that I could watch matches live on my PC for free. My wife thought I was crazy when I got up at 8:30 Sunday morning to watch the Chelsea game. I'm sure my Saturdays will be sucked away in the same manner until mid May The wife has already agreed to see a match when we go to England next year. I don't really care who I see, would prefer someone from the Championship or Premier League (most likely will be Leeds since my wife lived in Bingley for a year). Anyway, just wanted to say that I've really come to love football. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
