Has anybody got it ? Whats the verdict ? Have the 2007 version but haven't played it in a while,find you go through phases of playing it for a while then having a break etc.
Have it on the PC, good game fairly hard. Got Ireland to the World Cup Semi's in 2010 getting beat by all teams Mexico...after beating the likes of Holland and Germany along the way.
Great game. Just make sure you patch it. Retail version is buggy as heck. It's the best "feeling" FM to date in my opinion.
Anyone have any tips on how to do well with Liverpool in this game? Can't seem to get a good run of results going. Need a formation that works!
After a lot of socialising and boozing over the last of couple months, I am taking a break for next six weeks to recharge the batteries. 35 quid invested in FM 2008 today will keep me out of trouble for a while. About the same price as a round on Stephens day
It's an excellent game without doubt. Its a bit more involved than the 2007 version but not overly so and is pretty realistic........Liverpool very inconsistent.....lol
I started out with them and its so like real life its unreal after first season. 4the in the Premier League and Semes of Champs League. Vorinin and Kuyt could not hit a barn door with Riise lowest average rating. Managed to get 10 million for Momo though
This game has done my nut in since I got it, consigning it to the scrap heap for the next few months!
why's that??? too hard I find it harder than the previous version, very hard to sign decent players also
Just find it a bit too tedious to be honest. You go through all the rubbish at the start with pre-season which can take up to 2 hours if you like, find a super tactic that will beat Chelsea away 4-0 one week, then lose 0-2 at home to Derby the next Plus playing it deprives me too much of being on this site
Just after playing two seasons of it there over the last week or two just trying to get my bearings. Definitely seems harder than FM 2007. Liverpool can be quite inconsistent, I am struggling to find a formation I like and seems to work because as soon as one formation seems to do the business it goes pear shaped. Anyway going to start a new game of it now as Liverpool (again). Reading the FM 2008 forum,some people put so much effort into the game. Changing tactics,formations,players instructions all for each individual match. I just pick a formation,don't really mess with player instructions or even training and just get on with it.
First two games, I did not make any signings and got the sack at xmas. Nest time I sold Sissoko, Alonso, Crouch, Kuyt and Pennant. Brought in Keane, Riqelmue, Owen, Bentley and Burdisso for less money, finished second. Take note Rafa
I'm buying this today, because my brother got a new computer today so he won't be on the family one all day play World Of Warcraft. Yay! Should be good craic.
Been playing this a while now and can never win the league... anyone got a good tactic for Liverpool, I have tried everything.
