Mods, please sticky this one again

It's out now and I just went and got it, quite excited about the United team

Any hints, questions or random game info u want to share, do it in this thread.

I downloaded it yesterday (I'm just going to wait until somebody gets it for me at x-mas as I don't play it enough to go and buy it).

United are brilliant on it. Scholes stats are finally fitting of the great player.

I've went Atletico Madrid - was going to go Juve but I ALWAYS go Juve.

I never played this game before, but this time I think I'm going to try it.

I'll have to wait it goes out on PS2, because I hate playing on the computer...

Ive been playing it for the last few days, and its more or less the same, with upgraded player stats/roster. They have a menu called the "transfer center" thats suppose to make organizing all your transfer's easier, but I find Im not using it much.

Juve is set for a while. Criscito, Chiellini, Palladino and Giovinco are already very good and will improve alot.

It is largely the same, but they've improved certain areas of the game substantially, like the development of young players, if u play your youngsters a little bit their stats really improve, I'm United and I've got loads of young players and I've had messages from my assistant telling me that the amount of game time the players have been getting has really helped their developments. Also the coach reports are much more useful in this version.

It's only on PC and PSPs lionel, but it's miles ahead of any management games u can ever get on the PS2 (and I've played several, Total Manager, LMA Manager & Premiership Manager...)

I don't like playing anything but on the PS2 (untill I get PS3).

Robinho4Ever · 12-11-2007, 08:04 AM

Bah, ugly game !! I don't know how you find it entertaining playing this game . . .

The Realist · 14-11-2007, 10:31 PM

Ive bought it, great game

Im currently 8th with Boro, had a great start and i was 2nd for a while but dropped down to 8th. only got about 5.1 million to spend.

**kyan** · 14-11-2007, 10:37 PM

how many games in are u?

I won the quad with United so I started again and now I'm playing as Everton and im 4th at about halfway...

I like how u can change the budgets in this one.

Has anyone found any wonderkids?

I tried finding some on the net and the best was a Brazilian defender (Breno) who apparently develops to be quality, he starts off as 17 but u can sign him in January & he gets a work permit.

Havent made any superb signings really..

signed Justin Hoyte from Arsenal, Some Bulgarian attacking midfielder (who is playing awesome) and Bpbp Balde from Celtic.

**LAF** · 14-11-2007, 10:46 PM

Shit I just typed alot of players out but my computer just deleted it all.

Oh well.

I got Newcastle to 3rd in my first (and only) season, two points off United.
