peter-evo Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Even though I hated it I couldn't keep away from it. I think it was better than 07 and defienetely the best Football management game so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigy18181 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 i loved FM08 once it was patched up, even before the patch I still played it for an obscene amount of hours lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmurfDude Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I didn't enjoy it because: I found the media interaction repetitive and tedious Confidence felt half-arsed and broken Match engine had bug after bug, even after the patches Far too many occurrences of you having 30 shots vs opponents 1 shot but drawing 1-1 Far too many 1 vs 1 chances missed with the keeper Too difficult to sell players and buying them was annoying because of stupid AI Aside from all that it was fine, but unfortunately the things listed above were enough to make me stop playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldeaves Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Loved it like any FM game. Few little annoying points in it here and there, but those points might have appealed to other people and not me. Where as there may have been annoying points for them that i enjoyed. Overall, very very happy, and all i need now (i think we all do) is for FM09 and November 14th (and to a lesser extent November 2nd) to come quickly!

aston_martin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I didn't like it at all, the first one since I've started playing the CM/FM that I didn't enjoy, there were some good points, but for everyone one of those there was a bad point, the shambles of a confidence system, the fact that I haven't seen the ME so blantantly exploited for a while, the issue that unless you had inward arrows on your wingers, you may aswell be playing with 9 men and the regen's put me off ever playing for more than 1 season. Added to this that in my opinion the game was not even worth starting before 8.0.2, meant my expirience (sp) with FM08 was largely a negative one.

bRAzIL Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just wondering what you all thought of FM08 It was ok. I found it a bit repetitive though. Win games, January comes, lose games, change tactics, lose games, come up with crazy tactic with arrows all over, win games. Repeat :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen89 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My fingers were burned with FM08 and I'll be more cautious this time when it comes to FM09.

PjW_JJJ Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 8.0 ok because after 7.0 everyone expected bugs. 8.1 completely unplayable. One of the problems (new current ability calculation and setup turning players into supermen during the match calculations under certain circumstances) subsequently addressed in patch 2 vindicated all of us protesting that sometimes matches were effectively preordained. 8.2 ok if you don’t mind putting in time and effort only to watch the ai repeatedly scoring bug goals against you: bouncing free kicks off your wall; reverse route-one goals from you own keeper despite doing everything imaginable to get your keeper to build from the back – just like the ai mysteriously can; choose the wrong team talk from two or three perfectly reasonable and suitable options and you might as well have sent them the points in the post; apparent magical effect high reputation has on any action taken by said player. 7.2 much better. I’ll try the demo for 9, but if I concede one reverse route-one goal from my own keeper’s distribution in the first 20 matches I play I’m waiting for reaction to the inevitable second patch before I even think about giving them more money.

Swaagenz Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Game time: 49 days, 10 hours, 32 minutes - and still counting! I would say I kinda liked FM2008 :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedthegoat Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yeah, enjoyed it. Eventually. First couple of months of playing the game I was pulling my hair out, mainly over the tactical side of the game, but I've read a few tactical theorem threads (wwfans is particuarly good), and finally now 2 weeks before the new game is coming out feel I've finally got to grips with the game.

kazuyalee Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I just bought fm08 maybe a week ago, dont ask me why, I just did even though fm09 is few weeks away. My own experiences and this thread made me give it up and wait for fm09. I have played fm06 for so many season and imho its the best football manager that I have played but since I have won everything in it, I wanted to move on. Hopefully fm09 will be more than just giving press releases and team talks.

cornelius11 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 it had some good new features, but because of the bugs it was too frustrating to actually enjoy. I uninstalled it for my own sanity. went back to playing fm07 (7.02) which i really enjoyed. will i buy FM09 though? Definitely! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golaxi Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 too many goals all the time. its unrealistic. everytime a team attacks they score. its stupidly bias towards attack. especially in the lower leagues. fm09 ME has got to be an improvement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurkzZ Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 the whole transfer thing killed the game for me, dont get me wrong it was good, played it for 10 months solid, but transfer thing mianly just p****d me off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just wondering what you all thought of FM08 I feel it was enjoyable although having some issues (not bugs, just gameplay) in which it was inferior to FM07. Now I seriously hope that FM will combine the best of those two while even adding some further nice features Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You say that like £35 is life changing. Keep in mind that we don't know how old he is or how much money he has to spend. When I was 16 that was a month's pocket money to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wish my month's pocket money was £35 when I was 16 . Anyway, I preferred 07 to 08 for multiple reasons that I've listed far to many times. Bugs, a ME worse than 07's, badly implemented features (ie confidence) and pointless features (eg pitch size).

presumingpete Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 was mostly good a few things made me want to rip my hair out, chairmen accepting bids too good to turn down (i had one player worth 13 million which the chairman sold for 11 mil cos the bid was too good) constant messages how much do you want for this player, annoying team talks, regens being crap, the old players being crud before they should be. but the thing is, even with so many negative things about it i'm still playing it.
