FM 2008 - What Do You Think?

Alan Smith out for 8 months with a "serious viral infection" :(
 
Is it just league 1, or does every game have shitloads of bookings/red cards and disallowed goals. It's simply ridiculous. With Leeds, I played stockport in the cup and I had 2 sent off about 5 yellow carded and 2 goals disallowed and lost 1-0. The yellow cards are as bad every game and there's so many controversal incidents it's astounding...
 
yeh im gettin a fair few controversial incidents, not so much the cards though
 
If you apply the beta patch it tones the match bugs down a little but I just gave up playing, will wait for a proper patch.
 
The tactics require a lot more tweaking during the match I think. Also gotta agree with Wes that the closing down just isnt working. Its ******* me off too as its costing me points.

Got Wolves promoted to Premier and thrashed Reading at home having 14 shots on target. They had 3 on target and won 3-1. Things like that **** me off although I know it happens. The financial sides seems better.
 
Finances are better and the tactics now seem fine when you apply the patch. I think like all new games it will take some getting used to and once it's been patched up fully it will be fine like 07 :D
 
Yea cant wait for the patch. Other than that I think its a mile above 07
 
Morale levels are stupid, even if your on a winning run they still stay low.
 
I manage to go ahead, then lose it right at the end :/ was 2-0 up against man utd just to draw 2-2 and they had a fair goal disallowed in injury time :p
 
I don't like the way the news is done now-it is handy having news relevant to you in an inbox, but then when big transfers happen, and other random shiz you dont always see it
 
The disallowed goals is becoming a big issue for me. Having had a decent start to Premiership life - Id managed to climb to third after 12 games - I then had to play Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea one after the other. I lost them all but should have drawn with Liverpool, except for 2 disallowed goals.

Then I had Newcastle away and the fans were on my back to change my tactics as '4-4-2 obviously wasnt working'. Tossers. So its 0-0 at Newcastle and we score in the 92nd minute. I jump out my seat only to see it be disallowed by a push from a player nowhere near the ball.

I had to turn it off before I smashed my comp up. :mad:
 
Lol, it does get frustrating, but chill out Booz
 
This year I deside to play FM much more longer than I used to do it since 2006. Maybe its all because of new skin, but i believe that its my age which made me to broke up with PES and FIFA.
As for the game itself, I dont understand well how to organise training sessions...
And these buttons on the pitch...they are rather disapointed me, its time for developers to increase their staff with a new specialist.

p.s. sory for my english =)
