Footy Manager 08

[GrandOldTeam]

No doubt a few of you would have played it by now.

Opinions?

 

[Dylan]

I want to play it.

 

[Cal]

It's class.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Still on 07, what are the major differences?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Can't be much worse than 07. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is great, but the history records for each player get messed up after the first season. Lots of people seem to have had the same problem, due to virus scanners or something. A pretty terminal flaw for the game.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

ah that would be the PC version then.

Get a Mac and all your problems are solved.

 

[Welton Toffee]

I gave up after our PC completely killed the 05 version.

Don't really have the time for it now anyway.

What noticeable features are there from 07?

 

[Dom1878]

erm...different colour..., updated player profiles, budget adjustments, bit more news...

nothin really

 

[GhostOfDixie]

Really? Well not much point in buying it then.

 

[Dom1878]

Get Fifa manager, its not a buissness like, but hte graphics are better, you can see the goals, you can go in debt, you can play in the games and there are more player stats...

 

[GhostOfDixie]

I don't want to play the games, I live the business side of things. That's why its called Football Manager.
