If you want graphics, play Far Cry 2.

If you want graphics, play Far Cry 2.

3D match engine is one of their main selling points this year.

I personally believe it's a failure, I'm gonna revert back to the 2D match engine rather.

And to suggest Far Cry 2, that is completely irrelevant. Graphics isn't the only thing I want obviously.

I'm with Puma on this one.

The graphics was never, ever the main thing about this game. And even with adding 3d it still won't be.

What are the manager games out there?
Championship Manager, which is a left over after SI Games left Eidos.

Fifa Manager and CM, are not on the same level as FM though, even with all the bugs that are in FM year after year.

3D match engine is one of their main selling points this year.

I personally believe it's a failure, I'm gonna revert back to the 2D match engine rather.
The 3d isn't about "nice" graphics. It's main purpouse, is to show the real situation on the field, better than 2d can. It will never look as good as Fifa, or PES, but that's because a football manager is about something else.

I'm satisfied with the 3d if you ask me. Sure, it looks like Fifa 96, or worse, but I don't care, as long, as the situation presented in the game, is anywhere near the real life situation.

As for the demo itself... it has 1 BIG bug, that everybody is talking about on SI forums.

INJURIES.

There are far too many injuries, that can drive you nuts. Guys from Si already said, they will release a patch on the day of the official sale of the game. This "little" thing makes this game really unplayable.

I had a game where 6 of my players got injured. 3 got red injuries, and 3 others got slight injuries. Many other people are talking of the "hospitals" in their teams, and I can too.

fifa manager is unrealistic in player ratings, has repetitive actions while watching 3d mode and in training it gives you possibility to train specific attribute making it possible for lets say figo to be like crespo

FM09 demo didn't really appeal to me, but demo's never have expect for the one of FM05.

Anyway - I'm giong to play FML starting from Monday as my LIVE GW will kick off. It's fabulous, fabulous, fabulous.

I think there are almost too many factors involved now. I can't make Inter beat Anderlecht. Perhaps it takes some time to get used to.

Wow. To me there are still not many enough ;)

For example, when swapping players, they get the instructions of the player, who "played here a minute ago", but in most of the cases I don't want to do it.

For example, if I have 2 wingers, say Mancini and Figo, and I want them to swap positions from time to time, I don't want Figo to run with the ball, because... well he suck(he is 36 hellooo ;) ). Also I don't want Mancini to cross ball, just like Figo does(often), because, well... he suck with this :p

There are many many things, I would put there, but I understand that there are more and more people frustrated, because comparing to the new one, say CM 01/02 was a very, very simple game.

ps. But I really like it, and I honestly want even more :)

I was hopping they changed that Luka, but seams like if we want to swap played positions we will just have to do it manually...

I am not playing demo cause there is million of bugs there, demo is just for us too see what it looks like, they dont make it playable...or at least serious playable.

I'll wait for the full game and will play some club for fun, nothing serious before some patches, which means, no playing serious FM till around Christmas...One patch wont be enough....

I want to play serious full match games with Bilbao, as always. It will go slow, with tons of thinking and stuff like that...
meanwhile I also take one club I like where I dont do it that serious, just to relax...

About Fifa Manager...it sucks...poor database, and if you want some bugs, just go to youtube and write Fifa manager 2009 bugs...
I saw player taking FREEKICK from inside the box, with all the players standing on 30yards, and guess what, freekick taker hit the ball so hard it went 1.5 yard from the palce he took it...hilarious...

and to add on Football manager 3d match, and not so good graphic, I love the idea! still have to see it but I want players to move properly, play football, I dont care about his perfect eyebrows, same hairstyle like in real life and stuff like that..

I am only scared to find out that some black player in real life turns white in game and stuff like that...

The thing that can really be pissing somebody off, is how SIGAMES treat gamers.

I mean, they didn't have no beta testers whatsoever. Just like I've seen couple of direct questions about it, and no reply, none, from SIGAMES represantative.

The injury bug would be noticed in day 1 of the beta testings. There is no way, beta testers wouldn't report that problem.

It's really simple. People who are playing Demo are pay-free beta testers for Sigames. And what is worse, is that they won't admit it.

I'm really getting sick of it all. I'm not "beta tester" myself, but I can get into others boots and I clearly can think of how I would feel.
