    This man speaks the truth, if you don't let us know how you feel, what you don't like, and what needs to improve, we have know why of knowing an improving on it.

    I've hovered around there a bit and posted a few thing (don't know if changes were made).

    However, profiled, can you confirm or deny whether the MLS expansion will be included in FM? I have yet to recieve or see a response from an SI rep at the message board.

    Also, I went ahead and ordered the UK version. Will the UK/US versions be identical other than title, packaging and release dates?

    Thanks. Love the demo, by the way. I'm an addict.

    The MLS is/will be in the game. Just no A-League.

    FM?

    CM?

    Anyone have a moment to give the quick lowdown on the two and the difference? I checked the web site but didn't see much that would help me easily discern the two.

    --Football Manager (MLS Manager) is the game from the people at SI Games who made Championship Manager. When they split from Eidos, they kept the guts of the game and Eidos got the Championship Manager name. If you are looking for the game that is next in the series after CM4, you would buy Football Manager 2005.

    I'm aware of that. I wouldn't buy the game otherwise.

    I just wanted to know whether Real Salt Lake or Chivas USA would be included, but, per the official forums, they will not until another "version" is released.

    Hey we don't have any information on how this is going to happen, whose going to be on what teams, how the teams are going to be placed etc, so we were pretty much handcuffed in this regard.

    Hi all, I tried to download the demo, but it seems to have been removed from the page / mirrors listed. Is it going to be reposted again soon?

    But this is where you can bleed to the freaks, those of us so crazy we can't give up our habit. =) THat's the feature I'd love to see is some sort of an ability to get updated data. Of course this may rely on a subscription, paying for a data update versus bug fix, et al. But with the crazy internet, the potential's there.

    Naturally you'll have more Yanks chiming in for it but I'd love to see as acurate a duplication of the MLS and A-league as possible. I'd love to try to lead the Minnesota Thunder, for example.

    I'm trying to report a bug and still can't log in despite registering last night and using the super secret email link.
    :(

    I figured not. Shame, really.

    I'm just afraid its the sort of thing SI won't rectify until they release a subsequent version with tweaks and fixes, that must be purchased seperately, on the same engine, like CM03/04 as opposed to CM4.

    I'm still in the Dark about the Quick Starts. What DB setting is being used? And how come we cannot set DB size?

    profiled, upon quick examination, there are still a few slight errors with American players in the Gold demo.

    I posted all of these previously on the SI board. Anyway, most important is Landon Donovan's cap / goal count. Says he's got 30 some games and only 8 goals. Its about double on both in actuallity.

    Also, looks as if DaMarcus still isn'y left-footed and is listed as able to play right midfield. Never personally seen him play right wing and considering his position at PSV, a AM/F LC sounds more accurate to me. Also, game has him wearing #7 at PSV. He wears #11.

    As well, John O'Brien's position in the demo is D/DM L. Not only does he play center midfield for the Nats, but he's also played right back for Ajax. I'd say he's a D/DM RLC.

    Actually DMB has played central and right mid. He pinches into the middle a lot and played central in the last two USA games. I don't know if he's as good at right mid, but I've seen him out there as well.
