FFS! Spelling man!I posted this separtely, and then got told off by MarcSo thought I would attach it to here.
PC Gamer had a further 1 page update on FM Live this month, and I for one am looking forward to it. How about you guys? Anyone else looking at it, and liking the idea?
If there are a few of us, a possible OcUK League could be created? Has anyone managed to make their way into the Beta?
I'm not really interested in it from a playing it point of view. It would take up too much of my time and I don't really like playing online games for this reason.
Never trust stats. Always trust Scout reports (if they have at least 18/18 on potential and current ability). They take into account the hidden stuff you don't see in the game (which external programs do!) but you probably know all this anyway
I bought Lulinha when he was around 18 and he ends up with around 12/13 finishing at most if i can remember correctly. He ends up scoring 15-20 goals a season playing behind the striker.

I would be interested to see how FM Live affects the development of the FM series. Does it improve the main FM game or will it slow it down because of the SI Games team having more products to update?
Also will FM Live help FM out by getting more customers introduced to and interested in the FM brand and thus increase the number of people playing FM, perhaps finally leaving CM for the proper footie management game.
Actually I have read up on FML.One can tell that one has not read up on FM Live. Basically, one of the Collyer brothers (I cannot remember which) returned to SI after a long break travelling with the idea of FM Live. He was given the goahead to put it into production (which he obviously did). However, he did it on the proviso he could use his own team, thus not taking anyone away from the actual FM based team.
So basically, its the same game just using two different sets of developement teams, so there wont be any adverse affect on the production of FM09 or development of updates/patches etc for current versions.
The Beta for FM Live has only used a small number for game servers. However, the finished article will have servers depending on the users availability. For example one server is for people who want to play as real life and have the games on a daily basis, seasons lasting a matter of weeks etc.
Whereas there is the other end of the spectrum, the server world for those like me who can only play in the evenings (between 10pm-Midnight) so the game isnt as quick and no-one gains an advantage.
So, your little time excuse fails
Actually I have read up on FML.
SI Games is still working on two versions of the game. Yes its two teams but still one company. And there will be some people responsible for checking both out.
If you want to think that.You got that from my post
What tactic and training are you using?Sounds cool Twinblade.
So apart from 55 pages on Oxford on the SI Games forum, what else made you want to start a game with them? Local team? God was (is) the name of Liverpool player Robbie Fowler. Just a play of words with the Jesus saves line. There's another one "Moses said come forth", rafa said 'i'll win the cup instead".
There have been some rumours but SI deny them all. Its still early for them to tell us about FM09 release date and features. In the next 2 months they will I reckon.
You can in the editor but not in the game; you are the manager of the club. The chairman/owner of the club would choose ticket prices not the manager.
Yes. A mate of mine hasn't bought FM08 instead staying with FM07. He feels that not enough happened between FM07 and FM08 to justify the £15+ cost of the game. He thinks by buying it every two years he'll get better value for his money.
Well in FM08 the chairman sets the wages and the transfer budget. I suppose a manager could do what he likes as long as his total wages and transfer budgets stay within the confines of the original wage and transfer budget set by his chairmain. Plus in FM08 there is a point when your total wages is within a certain distance of the maximum wages that you can't move more money from wages to transfer.
Cool.
I just can't cope with the idea of not managing them and also taking over another team that could have to play them in Europe.
