Aguero :D
 
Does anyone have a link to a latest squad update patch/database?

That hopefully includes everything that went on in the last day of the transfer window?
I think this one has it on. Post number 112.


I see the announcement on FM09 is out but on youtube. As I've got no soundcard on this pc :(, could someone please summarise the changes / new features that have been announced?

TIA

edit: ^3D pitches? not sure I'm that bothered by that, hope that isn't something they've done instead of overhauling confidence / transfers.

Part1 was spent talking about the success of the series, although they did show a 1 sec vid of the new 3d engine.

Thanks :) Sounds like I didn't miss a great deal then. I take it they'll be releasing a few of these vids in the run up to the demo then.

edit: Thanks Frank!
 
Release date - November 14th.
Assistant manager feedback dramatically improved.
Press conferences added with media as a whole improved.
Training and player interaction more indepth. Players can be tweaked more.
Can now play as a female manager.
Board confidence improved - club stature and squad harmony added.
Competitions all updated for all 51 countries.
350,000+ players and staff in database.
Every single financial area modeled correctly.
UI updated and improved based on user feedback. Widescreen support added.
Transfer system recoded from scratch. Shortlisting more efficient and accurate.
Match engine - NOW 3D using motion capture. Tactics system tweaked. 2D option still available.
 
WOW going by the videos this game does sound immense.

Obviously, proof will be in the game itself and not in a PR video, but it certainly sounds impressive.

All the areas that I don't like about the game seem to of been improved, and the inclusion of a 3d engine that's been in development for around 3 years sounds good.
 
Signed Aguero.

Loaning out Bojan for this season, and maybe Shevchenko if anyone wants him, lol.

Zapater is also on loan.
 
How much did you get Augero for?

How much did you buy Bojan for?

£47.5m for Aguero (release fee, was worth £38m).

£41.5m for Bojan (release fee).

Is Rooney worth having for £15m?

I'm gonna end up with a lot of people in the AMC/FC position :D.
 
How on earth do you keep all your players happy :confused:

See one of my posts on the other page.

I rotate my team most games.

I have a squad of 25, with a few players that will be first team at some point, on loan.

Waiting for the likes or Pirlo/Gattuso/Nesta/Zambrotta to age a bit more.

Rooney for £15m! Buy him! This at the start of the 3rd season?

I want your game :p

He went to Barca in the end.

I had £15m accepted then rejected, lol.

£30m was rejected by me with 30% sale on. So he went to Barca for £27m rising to £66m, no way im paying that.

Need a promising left back, or should i just use Ceglie. I need some of my older players to ... get old :D.
 
I'm in 2016/2017 in my Stuttgart game and signed him for £37m :)

:eek:.

Hes at Bayern atm, on a season long loan.

Nihat is reaching 30, so he will end up being the rotation striker anyway.

Built a very strong team.. it only took;

£242m, but £57m sales :p.

£62m a season average, nice :p.
