Hmm surely not that hard to achieve eh?

MarcLister · 28 Sep 2007 at 13:40

What makes you say that then? My location? I am a Man Utd fan as it happens.

FM07 supports dual-core at least, http://community.sigames.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/521102691/m/5932076452.

So FM08 will deffo support dual-cores. Not 100% sure about quad-cores tbh. Head over to the SI Games' Forum and see what they say.

Doesn't that break some government decency law?

MarcLister · 28 Sep 2007 at 15:15

Tevez?! *shudders*

MarcLister · 30 Sep 2007 at 13:47

Nope. Not just me then. I can't download the torrent off the SI Games site. But that doesn't matter. I've downloaded the Strawberry demo twice and the Vanilla demo once and I'm getting Java errors that crash the installer before it installs the game demo.

the budget adjustment thing to allow me to sign a player i cant afford is just confusing but i like it!

I know what you mean. I'm £130k a week under my wage budget. I'm trying to get some of that into my transfer kitty. I only seem to be able to move transfer cash to wage bill and not the other way round.

Yeah I think FM is a game suited to a mouse and keyboard layout. A console controller just doesn't seem right for FM.

Hey MarcLister what did you think to the skin ??? i think it is growing on me now after saying i didnt really like the look of it at first .

I really like it. Have always liked it from the off. Admittedly I don't think we've seen a lot of change from FM07 to FM08. A mate of mine probably won't be buying this. I will though.

The only thing about the skin I don't like is the row of buttons near the top of the screen, otherwise it's a quality skin I reckon.

No probs.

You pre-ordered it yet or going to buy from a shop on or after the day?

MarcLister · 9 Oct 2007 at 17:58

Ah. You just haven't been converted yet.

MarcLister · 10 Oct 2007 at 12:57

I don't think you can set it like that. When you start the game at some point it prompts you to set them. So it asks you at some times, just before the season I suppose.
