Well its a macbook pro so would hope it would be fine


Seems most of issues i picked up are because its the demo and so, not patched. Prob will get it for christmas so will be able to sit down and properly look at. Will post my team off 07 sometime. Likewise if anyone wants a screenshot of years into the future on that game let me know.

One thing i will say is... I always had Akinfeev in my games going back years. Very expensive now

Right Ive finished my 3rd season.

Started at Liverpool signed Roque Santa Crus and Tobias Hysen - 3rd in the prem beat Chelsea in CS and topped my champ league group. Even having done all that I was sacked in December



Man City gave me the job though during January and they were bottom. I took Man City to 8th in the prem and qualified for Europe!

In my second year I had signed Edmilson & Forsell. Got to the quarters/semis in Europe got beat by Atletico, beat them at Eastlands smashed in Spain! FA and League cup were both dissapointing! Finished 12th in the Prem so didnt qualify for Europe.

Due to not finishing in a European space I made it my priority. Even with the fans on my back all season the board kept backing me. Finished 8th just 7 points behind 5th! The cups are'nt worth mentioning



My usual side:

Andreas Issakson

Billy Jones
Richard Dunne
Sylvian Distin
Micah Richards

Kris Commons
Paul Scholes
Guti (retired now need a replacement)
Stephen Ireland

Darius Vassell
Ishmael Miller

Can you install it without going on the internet? Haven't got the internet at home you see!

There's two ways of installing it, I'd have thought the other way would be without the internet, but I ain't too sure.

This just proves that idiots shouldn't be allowed in charge of a PC.

It's not difficult to install FFS.



Talk to someone whose PC meets the required spec. Theirs evidently does not.

The people who asked me about the Chinese players last time out, btw, they are on the game, it may help if you have a large database on. Hao Junmin and Wang Dalei are the 2 youngsters mentioned. On my China national team game btw Junmin has signed for Fulham for 3 Million and is now worth 6 Million, 09/10 season. Just Qualified for the WC 2010 and my opponents in the group stage are Spain, Sweden and Cameroon, hopefully beating Cameroon and pushing Sweden close for 2d place in the group will enhance my reputation enough because i want to go into club management after the WC.

No, I've been able to install it myself since the age of 12. But for some reason, it was not available on the computer. Couldn't find it anywhere on the PC, and I Looked everywhere.
There was obviously a problem, so installed it again via steam, and it now works perfectly.

Thanks for your help though, your critism worked wonders.

Since you were 12? It was only released on Friday.

At least you managed it, Loz is still trying.

"Right, this F&*^^% thing is going back. Its not me who's dumb, oh no!"

They're the same on SIGames. They dont have a clue either. Some dumb f*** is trying to play it on P3 500 FFS

Its not Loz is it?

I never had any problems getting FM to work, it installed with ease.

The only problems I have are:

Where's the data editor?

Sometimes when I press continue, an error occurs and it has to shut the game down!

And why when I start it through steam does it repeatedly harp on about the product key code thing?

I don't score an awful lot of goals which is a tad annoying. I'm at Chelsea, i've signed,

Klaas Jan Huntelaar : £12.8m
Antonio Valencia : £10.1m
Diego Capel : £12.0m

and 2 youngsters, a Brazilian centre half and a French holding midfielder, both excellent.

Think i'm 3rd halfway through the season. I had another game at City but quit it, I was scoring for fun but conceding bucketloads.

I like the game, but it runs a bit slower than previous editions on my machine which is a tad frustrating, feel like i'm waiting alot more, kind of lost the fluency. 3D stuff is ver ygood though, when you score a pearler it looks quality.

Not bad, I seem to struggle scoring, too.

I'm up there with the top scorers in the league, but when I'm having 20+ shots a game, I'd be expecting to be winning by 3 or 4, not scraping wins in the last 10.

Anybody fancy recommending youngsters?

I've signed a few, they are:

Oscar - Sao Paulo
Adem Ljajic - Partizan
Gerson - Gremio
Keirrison - Coritiba
Sofiane Feghouli - Can't remember the team
Daniel Aquino - Murcia
Josh Lambo - FC Dallas
Rodney Sneijder - Ajax
Rajiv Van La Parra - Caen
Salaman Bartosz
Eduardo - Botafogo
Zakarie Boucher

I also want that Dzagoev and Necid from CSKA.

Can anybody recommend players?

Bottom of page 3 on this thread.

On the new one, is the transfer budget for Man City massive?

Yes. Something like £53m up to £89m depending on whether you say you will challenge title, win it, mid-table, etc.

It works on what you tell the board you can achieve. So,

If you say, top half finish, they give you £59m.

If you say, European Qualification via League Position, they give you £73m.

I didn't say i'd win the league, but I presume circa 100m.

Nobody half decent is intersted in joining you though, quite frustrating. I was that depressed I signed Joleon Lescott for £12m.

If they tell you crime is on the down turn in merseyside they're wrong as you just got robbed

I went straight for a shower, I felt dirty & used.

I got £13million from the QPR board just for saying I'd finish in the top half of the table!

Needless to say its been spent well. Kevin Doyle and Leroy Lita coming in for a combined £5 million and Lee McCulloch for £2 million.

Should have gone for promotion, seen what that got ya

Uninstalled FM07 and it wont read the disc to re-install it so that could be a reason it wouldn't go any further, i am very tempted to buy 09 tonight. And try pick up a cheap copy of 07.

I know I should, top of the league after 23 games!

Have not had a CM/FM game since the split but I'm tempted now.

Reading the reviews people are saying that there are a ridiculous amount of injuries keeping your players out for long periods. Anyone else say the same?

It was exactly the same with FM08 straight out of the box, large number of red cards and disallowed goals too. These things usually get fixed in a patch to make levels more realistic.
