Ive been tempted to start again as Milan with the 8.0.2 patch, and gut the entire team bar a few players.
Problem is, that with the AI unwilling to shell out any decent money for players over 28, coupled with a paltry £30m possible budget, its extremly hard to do.
Depending on the formation that i'd want to play, thats at least 5 top players i'd have to buy.
Very difficult to do. :(.

I'm sure you could find a tougher challenge than that :p
 
Nah just got knocked out the Champions League to spurs in the quarters. Had a nightmare with injuries. Need some attacking midfielders with pace but can't seem to find any worthwhile anywhere. Hopefully I'll be given more money in summer if I qualify for Champs League again. In 4th at the moment, 5 games left. Fingers crossed...
 
Should be getting into league 2 this season.

Got a goal scoring machine at the minute, scored 61 in the league so far, 39 by one person already!!
 
Hi there,

Boy did I miss this game when I was changing between laptops. Glad to be back on it again.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a good data update including kits, badges etc? Not too bothered about the players pictures, but if its included then its a bonus :)

Also, does people have trouble when using a widescreen res and the game?

Im running 1280x800 atm. Now on the game all the text is'nt as clear as the text on my desktop, FF etc. Its like the game has been strecthed.

Any idea how I can get round this. It looks bloody horrible :p

Cheers
 
i dont use a widescreen res tbh just play it windowed, allows you to browse these miughty fine forums at the same time :p


also the latest patch 8.0.2 includes a data update :p
 
Downloading the patch again :p Did'nt realise that it contained a data update too. Does that include kits and badges though?

Cant select the window option. Says that my settings wont allow it :(

Not all of them. You'd need a graphics pack for that. I've not heard of any data updates containing graphics.

I sometimes use the FM Weegie update, which is now on Facebook.

Check out http://sortitoutsi.net/index.php?page=downloads&area=gfx&game=fm2008 for kits and graphics.

This is the official forums for Susie. You'll have more luck getting stuff there.

Think you need some code in your Properties of FM2008.

[space]-small_screen -windowed

Put the above in the target of your FM08, and then select windowed in the Preferences.

Hope that helps.
