Jbrown832 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Anyone think/know if the the network game will be improved? Always runs slow when playing a network game with mate on FM 08. And it's not the easiest to set up, just wondered if people thought the same and do you think it needs improving? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomHAVFC Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I agree with you about the hardness to set one up but mine's not slow with my mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue66 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I agree with you about the hardness to set one up but mine's not slow with my mate. I love the network aspect of the game I am nearly at the end of the season and there are 10 of us in the league I am not finding it slow at all to be fair. I’m looking forward to FM09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 And it's not the easiest to set up How is it hard to set up? I think its very easy. I was in a very sucessful 20 human English Premiership online game that got through about 7 seasons on FM08 and we will do the same for FM09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Kyle Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think its very slow, and can be a farce to set up as as soon as patches are released etc... Its a great aspect of the game, especially for those who think FML is a rip off and i think it should be improved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHAVFC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 FML is rubbish and a rip off! Stick to FM or networking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 FML is rubbish and a rip off! Stick to FM or networking. i wouldn't say it is a rip off, its great for people who like Online games with randomers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHAVFC Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 i wouldn't say it is a rip off, its great for people who like Online games with randomers! Well after reading my comment again I would like to take the rip-off bit back. Its not really a rip off it's just not very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 FML is rubbish and a rip off! Stick to FM or networking. I wouldn't consider it a rip off (even though that I won't be playing it ). I think it is around £70 for a year isn't it? That works out at about £6 per month. I don't think that is bad value. EDIT: Forget this post, just saw your above post.

Golaxi Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 jbrown i have exactly the same problem. ive noticed when your hosting the speed is fine, but when your the person connecting its proper slow. like reaaly slow. its just not worth it. i hope the speed of network is improved in 09. will it be?

Ched Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I agree that it's not the easiest thing to set up, but it aint rocket science. Might be a problem with your network as the network games i run aren't slow at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaCeR Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I use my other PC as a server, where me and my 3 friends logg on when we play FM08 and it´s not slow. The "Server" i use is an old laptop, so it doesn´t need to be a super computer. with best regards MN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How is it hard to set up? I think its very easy. I was in a very sucessful 20 human English Premiership online game that got through about 7 seasons on FM08 and we will do the same for FM09 Must of been hard for the ones that got relegated to keep up their motivation when they're not playing against human players every week and imagine the embarrassment lol everyone would jip you lol! I was gunna say is it possible to just use a 3rd machine to host the game and run it off there. Might be faster? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjnick Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have a network game with my mate in FM08 and we have never ever had an issue and speed is immense! We use a switch in my house so its 100MB not broadband speed but I have never had a crash in FM08 network games but did regularly in FM07 and before. Setting up a network game is real easy too, the manual helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Any news on any speed improvements to the FM09 network gaming? Playing with a standard broadband against 2 or 3 other players is shockingly slow, laggy and jerky in FM08. It's not a major feature for me, but I know it is to others.

undru Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 can anyone tell me how to configure FM 09 or even just fm08 i imagine the principles are similar, as i cannot connect to my mates game ever or indeed any other game of fm outwith my local network. Do i need to open ports on the router or something? if so which ones? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
