DiscoStu94 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Found a great youngster, Daniele Ragatzu from Cagliari.He's an AM/FC, may be worth a buy. Scout says he has the potential to be as good as Adebayor. Marco Ezio Fossati from Inter, a good MC. Not far from having the required potential to be beter than Cesc! £1.9mil should seal it. I found those earlier, they look very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbananas Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Look at Inter's youngsters, there's this rightback/rightmid/rightwinger, I forgot his name but he has huge potential according to Steve Rowley (who has 19 and 19 in judging CA + PA). Balotelli is also a great player. Davide Santon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_2111 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Arsenal_2111, you said you didn't like the FM09 skin. If you go into sound and display in the preferences and you can get the FM08 skin. I saw that earlier thanks, but I didn't like that one either...

theincrediblehulk Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hmmm.. what are people's first impressions of the game?? Personally, I'm not liking it so far. It just seems that SI has tried to cram everything they could think of into the game and its just less responsive and doesnt look as neat anymore. I dont know, it might grow on me with time. Also, why in God's name cant I have an arrow with which my players will cut inside??? Ridiculous that is! The players also seem to respond less to their instructions. Both my full back are not over-lapping properly. The only way they do it is if I give them quite high mentality and tell them to get forward often. With mixed, they never seem to cross the half-way line. Infact, even if they have the ball in clear space, they just stay still for some reason until someone comes close to them! Anyway, so far I'm made 3 signings only: Mirel Radoi - 8.5M Carlos Kameni - 4.8M Andrey Arshavin - 13.5M Radoi was necessary as he gives me cover at CB, DM and CM. Might just make him team captain in the full version of the game tbh. He looks like he'll make a great one. Kameni doesnt look particularly good but he had a 4.8M release clause so thought I might as well get him because Fabianski looks like he'll take time to develop and I'm not bothering with that on the demo. Arshavin I didnt really need but thought that since I wont be able to test Rosicky much, I might as well get Arshavin and try him out before the full game. Anyway, I've just played 2 friendlies and won both 3-0. Not staisfied with the performances so far though. Will have to step it up if they're gonna beat the teams in the EPL. Hopefully Adebayor's return will get the team going and get me more goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems that SI has tried to cram everything they could think of into the game and its just less responsive and doesnt look as neat anymore. I dont know, it might grow on me with time. I'm like you, not keen on it ATM. It's got loads of bugs(why can't a player move after being tackled? why does the game freeze before the match starts?) and like you said it doesn't look as smooth anymore. I'm hoping a new skin can help with this. I like the press conferences, even if some questions are similar. How do you lot have the camera's? Also, why in God's name cant I have an arrow with which my players will cut inside??? Ridiculous that is! The players also seem to respond less to their instructions.

theincrediblehulk Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Barnetboyz & Terras-FM Thanx guys. Glad you like it. fataldinho Radoi is a beast and good enough for any team on the planet. A little on the slow side but when you have stats like him, it doesnt really matter. Have a look: arsenal_2111 Nah, not going to bother with Marcelo. He's not better than Clichy and he wont get in my team ahead of Nasri. Also, I want to first try all Arsenal players before the game comes out. Hence, I've not sold anyone! DiscoStu94 I think you'll be fine even without signing anyone. We have enough players to cover all spots really. Some games might be tough but if its anything like FM08, winning the league should be very easy!

Arsenal71 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Arsenal71 can you give us any tips on which youngsters to buy around the world and who is -10 and -9 in Arsenal? Why would you want me to spoil it for you. Thats one of the main parts of playing the game; finding out the youth players. TBH the only ones i really know is the arsenal youth, and if you are an avid fan you will pretty much know who has the potential to be a good prem player. Piece of advice though.
