Has anybody successfully been able to buy and download 2008 online? Sega's website says it's available for download but when I go to the store all I find is 2006!
i have a question...the 2008 version comes for: pc x box 360 psp? anything else? because my dad got it for me for my b day and its supose to be a suprise and i just want to know the probrability of him having got it for the wrong cosole...i want it for pc... anyways i have played the demo and its sick...i love this game.
I thought only the PC is out at the moment. Not sure there is a xbox version currently available? I think it will be PC for sure. I got my version. Its excellent. Trailer to is amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOwybu4IhR0 The whole game is amazing
******** Less than ten minutes after i wrote that it should come tomorrow, i go ans check my status in amazon and it says it will only be shipped on the 29th!! Should have never trusted them.
I ordered mine a couple days ago and that was the listed shipping date. Just think of it like this... every day you have to wait is an extra day of functioning life you have.
I got one online, it's great! I'm playing MLS, and it's still a real mess! Big stars of each teams get waived every season for waiver draft. MLS cup qualifying rule is still wrong (Top 2 of each conference and other top 8 overall, not top 4 of each conference)and designated player rule (aka Beckham Rule) is also wrong. The first patch needs to fix the MLS a lot!
To be fair, this is new this season and its been top 4 for a while. Depending on when the coding of MLS was done they may have not even known of the playoff change. Would be nice if it was fixed in the patch though.
I can see past the wrong MLS Cup quali (alltough it's annyoing) - but how exactly is the DP rule done wrong ? what do you mean by big stars of teams get waived - maybe the cost too much salary or take a SI spot and therefore get waived? otherwise is MLS accurate like the 2007 season in FM 2008 ?meaning original teams, logos, players, stadiums, fixtures, season calendar, superdrafts etc ?
I hope this does help.. http://cmfrenzy.com/football_manager_2007/fm_2007_guides/how_do_i_play_football_manager_online.html Edit : There is also a 500 mb Fm08 (PC-rip, no crack , no mount shit) file on torrents..If you're desperate to play.. haha
Are you talking about the same game Fifa Manager 08...I can't find it on amazon.com or is Football manager a different game?
FIFA Manager is a different game, made by EA - has a more graphical focus. Football Manager is developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega. It can be found on Amazon.com as Worldwide Soccer Manager for Americans and on Amazon.co.uk as Football Manager.
Different game. Championship Manager Football Manager (also known as Worldwide Soccer Manager in the US) FIFA Manager All three are different games.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the PC version of this game and the console version (xbox 360, PS3) ?? I've been playing FM07 since it came out last year, and recently got the 08 version. I love it because i'm able to manage my national team (El Salvador) and it gives me a VERY detailed list of all the Salvadoran players (400+). Can El Salvador be played in the console verision?? Does it have a large player database like the PC version?? Thanks
A little more specific, Football Manager (and the PSP and console FM games) is made by Sports Interactive (who created the original Championship Manager since the 90s) and is currently distributed by Sega. The current Championship Manager is by Eidos. They kept the rights to the CM name when Sega acquired SI, and then created a new footy sim game from scratch after the acquisition. IMO this is a subpar game compared to Football Manager by SI, who have been making footy manager games all these years. FIFA Manager, as mentioned before is by EA.
anyone find an MLS facepack? tempted to make my own Toronto FC pack. let me know, I'll be happy to contribute to a group project if some other FM fiends want to compile their own team
This game cheats like a motherfunker! 3 of every 4 corner kick goals my team scores gets waved off for a foul, and worse, the opposition scores wildly offside goals by the bushel. I'm also still waiting for my first PK after 100+ matches. Other than that it's great, as usual.
I had four in the first month of the season then not another one for six months. There does seem to be a lot of disallowed goals... Several games I've put the ball in the net 4-5 times and only got one goal out of it. I had an offsides called on a goal scored on a volley from outside of the box by Fabregas after a corner was headed away... I think we tend to overreact to individual events and memorable moments. For most things, the numbers even out over time.
Nope, not even close. The most annoying is when the opponents get goal after goal after goal after goal where there is a clear offside... and I mean CLEAR, no maybe/maybe not close shave. The favorite move is to have 2-3 players run way offside and someone shoot from outside. When the rebound comes, one of the offenders has a simple tap-in. Yeah, it's annoying as hell.
I created a Toronto FC cutout facepack with some extra Canadian players and TFC staff (Marty Nash, Carlo Corazzin, Andre Hainault) http://files.filefront.com/Toronto+FCrar/;9074749;/fileinfo.html and an MLS managers facepack that includes Gullit - as well as van Basten and McClaren for good measure: http://files.filefront.com/managersrar/;9074758;/fileinfo.html to use them, go into my documents/sports interactive/graphics, and create a folder called "facepacks" if its not already there. Unzip these RAR files into that folder. Now in the game, go to preferences, display and sound, and untick "use skin cache". also tick "always reload skin on confirm". when you press confirm it should load the new facepacks, let me know if you have any difficulty! and let me know if you find any facepacks for the other MLS teams, there's a few players already included but I want them all!
Does anyone have any clues about field size and such? I have a young swedish squad avg age 20, stamina's pretty weak, so I decided on a smaller field to help with that, but I'm not sure that it's making much of a difference. Does size of field really make that big of a difference? I figure bigger factors such as the level of tackling, closing down, and tempo make a bigger difference in how well a low stamina player can hang in there. Any clues would be great. Thanks
Anyone else have an English team and brought some Brazilians that have been granted a conditional work permit? Not that I complaining, but I find it interesting. Thiese Brazilians are all young(onldest was 23, but most were 18).
If they're good with very high potential, you can usually get them through. Renato Augusto, Lulinha, Breno, Alex Silva, and a few others have all gotten through for me.
