The "Post Your Football Manager Game" Thread

[dada]

Great to hear the Roda game is going well.


I recently decided to do the Brazilian league again and I am honestly convinced no other league compares is regards to enjoyment. I would post a bit more about it right now but I just spotted a roach (first time in ages) so I'm gonna go handle it. BRB

[Mark.]

@ Jae I meant Renato Augusto, yeah hes young, but I think he turns out to be quite good. Ill have a look into those players you mentioned, im into the second season so they may be a bit more developed.

[J@3]

Bonaventure Kalou is my lord and saviour.

I started a game with Portsmouth while waiting for this bloody draft to end. They are an alright team, not great but not bad so I figured it'd be challenging yet enjoyable. I signed Bonaventure Kalou for 4.2 million... not as good as his brother at Chelsea but still decent enough for Portsmouth.

As an AMC...

12 games, 10 goals, 4 assists.

He's currently equal 2nd in the EPL in scoring, with Fernando Torres. And only 2 behind Drogba. We are currently 4th.

Anybody giving the FM08 demo a run?

[Drex]

Yup, but I'm kinda busy so I'm not playing that much for a week at least.

[Mark.]

I think im just gonna wait for the full release eh, enjoying 07 too much currently

[Jugs]

I'm up to the year 2020 on a different game than the 1 posted before.

I'm the greatest manager of all time, dick-riding the money of Real Madrid then Juventus.

Carlos Vela is practically the GOAT.

I got bored of Juventus around 2018 so I went through some other teams (Kamen Ingrad, Southend, now with Strasbourg)

[Mark.]

Yeah Carlos Vela is perhaps the best striker of the game, I dont think ill get to see his briliance as I wont get far into my current save before 08 comes out.

[SVG18]

I just got FM 08, gonna try it tomorrow

[Mark.]

08 is pretty good, the game runs a lot smoother, but there are a few bugs, players dont close down at all which sucks, so the possession stat gets pretty skewed. Also the bloody GK wont follow his instructions and keeps booting the ball down field instead of feeding it to the defenders.

Still a great game, started a game as Arsenal, brough in Adriano, Silva (from Valencia), Kompany and Mertesacker, all the while only selling Senderos.

[Jugs]

08 owns. I love it and it runs sooooooo much smooother.
I've already finished a season as Real Madrid and I won First Division, Spanish Cup, European Champions Cup, European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup

[Ty-Land]

Can't wait to get my hands on it, just got to wait to exams get out of the way. Then I will buy and play 08, plus have the chance to play skate and the new FIFA and NBA2k8 whenever that comes out now.

Did try the 'white' version of the demo. Enjoyed it. Played a few teams, had mixed success. Really focussing on doing Lower League teams, trying to take them to the top. Learning the ropes so I can become a true LLaMa.

[J@3]
