In case anyone on here was thinking of buying this game for themsleves or anyone as an Xmas present my advice is dont!

The first error comes with the installation. You will need to lop onto the SIgames website to download some files to get it to install in the first place. Then you will need to download a patch from the same website to solve some problems. However it still will repeatedly hang and stall unless you reduce the game detail dramatically and turn off the 3-D engine. Even after doing that it was still hang when trying to load new games.

A really really poor product. Totally regret buyin it maybe they will have patches out by February to solve these problems.

Sorry for posting in the sports forum but its more than likely football readers on here that will be interested in purchasing such a game.

BUYER BEWARE

Yeah mate. Well, I like it. Probably in the minority though.

I like the 3D players/match engine after so many years of the 2D blobs.

Correct about installation. It took me about 3 days to get the spicy meatball up and running.

I used a programme called 'Steam' to install.

I hated FM08 : HA HA. (http://www.peoplesrepublico fcork.com/~peoplesr/forums/showpost.php?p=23131 92&postcount=14)

I think ye should wait for Champ Man to come out, FM has gotten too complex and too much stuff going on at once on screen. Championship Manager is gonna be good......hehe shameless plug for our game!







Pity we're not releasing until April
