To be honest I'm playing the demo and I'm not enjoying it. ?I want a game to at least be enjoyable, I'm fed up with all this player happiness, media talk and comments. ?The community is quite big and move fast, but I'm not so sure it's that nice. ?I want a nice light easy game to hop in and out of, just like CM. ?Sadly the depth of FM is putting me off.

I love FM11 so far been playing quite alot and I have got my West Ham team to 3rd in first season with some good freebies like Vassell and Kapo and selling ?9m of players. I did pay some big money for Paulo Henrique and its paid off so far!

... I just cant play this manager anymore :/ every year the same same things to do.. its so boring!!!!

I mean what could you ever change to make it better??? the answer is nothing!!! The graphics are good as they are and the gameplay is / was too...

There is simply nothing they could do so much better to make me buy this game again :/ its sad but its exactly like that...

Maybe next the should bring it on WII with whole new controls.. maybe i give it a shot then...

That is true, feature wise you struggle to see what else that can currently add. ?The only area I think that would be an improvement is the match engine, that is something that can be refined and tweaked and also graphics wise look can be improved, but that would only be possible with efficiencies and technological advances (ie new system specs)

They can still branch out to consoles, where the main problem is usability but to be honest I can't see why they force users to use a wireless mouse or pointing device and just re do the interface to make it easier to use, even the PC one makes me click too many times.

Also they should be looking to expand in current or new markets, as there is only so much you can do for one market.

I am dropping points now like a bitch :( lost a stupid game to Spurs and drew 1-1 with Liverpool but we were losing for majority of the game.

My defence is pretty bad and making stupid mistakes. You know you've got a bad defence when Jonathan Spector is your best defender :laugh:

haha I loaned Rafael from Man Utd and he's rating at 7.7 after 20 odd games this season :D he's a star!

I am slightly keeping 3rd in EPL, 5 points clear of Arsenal in 4th!

Perhaps he was talking about the notoriously ****ty FIFA Manager, I think I just answered his question by the way..

FM is the only real choice if you want to play a football sim game, the FIFA and CM games suck so bad that you'd want to put a bullet between your legs just to feel something other than disgust and "WTF".

I haven't seen daylight in weeks thanks to this game.

Managed to get celtic to the semi final of the champs league, found some excellent young prospects. John spence in my game is a rock in defense, cisse is banging them in up front, found a couple decent midfielders too. I've invested so much time in scouting so far.

Easily the best FM yet

Haha. Yep he's been pretty bad for me too. Unfortunately the reserves aren't much better so i had to buy another keeper.

I also had a crazy experience with a player who i bought and seeing as he wasn't match fit i put him in the reserve team. Well he didn't like that and handed in a transfer request and wouldn't budge on his position. So i sold him in the same transfer window :laugh:

Between this and Civ V it's any wonder i get sleep at all.

I had to speak to Carlton Cole and terminated his contract for ?1.9m :pinch:

Are you finding his finishing to be absolutely shocking as well?

oh god yeah, he got injured after 3 weeks and was out for 2 months and never got fit enough...he couldn't score at all! which is why I brought in Vassell in on a free and he's been firing them in

    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance.
