crazytrain57 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What annoys you off the most in the game? For me its when im a small club and bigger clubs come and poach my players. Now i don't mind that so much but its when the likes of Chelsea or Real Madrid etc come in and buy a youngster with great potential but then never play him...i find that annoying...so then they can't fulfill their potential.

Geronimo360 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Getting three injuries in one match. All three center backs and the end product loosing 2-1 after two goals in the last five minutes.

devilgunner Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 the post asked for one, but i have three 1) not being able to yell at the 4th official like other managers can. 2) not having the option of telling mark hughes that i'm turing down his bid for a player because if the bad relationship (which HE initiated) between us, like he can if i bid for a man city player. 3) the fact that all the managers who dislike you in england can gang up on you and withdraw pretty much the whole national team from friendlies if u manage a club and the english national team at the same time, with no consequences to them for doing this. i'm sure if this happened irl, the fa would certainly step in and do something.

grade Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 My worst fears was the blue screen of Windows, but now my worst fear is playing match on FM09, no matter what I do i seem to draw and loose a lot. I start different games and each game I pick a tactic and stay with it. Also I think that in terms of design the game needs revamp. Like Clubs who don't have B team, my loan players showing in tactical screen. It seems to be a very extremelly awful bug, thta makes me feel the game to be incomplete. Yes I have that option to hide my loan players, but that makes them to be hide them when i see all the players I have at my club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you; that annoys me the most. It always seems to be the same keepers that play well against me. Michael Rensing (LOL!), Shay Given, Almunia (LOL!); et cetera. I wouldn't mind if Rensing and Almunia were actually good, but let's be honest, they're not exactly capable of keeping 15+ shots out of the net in real life.
