Hi Guys,

Just seen this game online and thinking of buying it. Anybody else have it? What are your views on the game? I have read a couple of reviews about it and it seems pretty good.

Fought id ask as I have seen no other topics on this game here

Had a look at it but annual subs too much IMO.

I've been playing it since Thursday none stop!

I had a 50% of the 12 months sub, so got it for £36 and obviously the game doesn't cost anything so that to play for the year is a good deal.

Seems like it is a alright game then. It comes with 4 months free subscription so I might get it and try it out. Worse things have happened!

The sub isn't free, the game is. You can download the game and just buy the subscription if you get what I mean.

Are you sure? Iirc its £20 for game retail and you get 4 months free

tempted to purchase but i'd like to know how you go about making your team? surely those who started first got all the best players ? when you win competitions / leagues is it just cash you obtain or are there other rewards ? etc etc

Do people not even skim over the rules when they sign up these days?

As for this game, i'm tempted to get it. Don't know if i've got enough time though, FM09 is compelling enough!

You need to read the FAQ on team generation over on the site.
Basically random teams are "reserved" for each player pre-season.
This way you don't neccessarilly need to logon within the first few minutes of a league going live to stand a chance of getting the best players.

Mixed reviews from the forums - I think people were hoping for Football Manager Online which this game isn't.
It's a lot more simple than that.

I was on the original lists to buy the game when it was first released, but then cancelled my subscription because i knew I wuldnt have tme to play it with my games going on, but does look good though.

Ok i decided to get this game. Played it all last night, really addictive. Won my first match vs my housemate.. great feeling! Im playing on 'Keane' Gameworld. Not doing to bad at the moment

Anyone still playing this?

Think I've racked up over 20 days gameplay time now, although I do leave it on the majority of the day! Very addictive, especially when you have mates in the same GW. Great fun!
