So Andriy Shevchenko is out for 6months in my game just before the first season started.
Have 9.5Million Pounds to buy someone to cover him.
Scott Sinclair, Didiler Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are my only strikers I have (rest on loan)

I'm happy with Didiler Drogba and Nicolas Anelka but dunno if Sinclair is good enough yet. Any suggestions?

Bojan.

 

[Retox]

Bojan.

If I could get him for 9.5mil I would

In other news I got Liverpool in the 3round while all the other "big" teams had easy runs in the 4th round I have bolton and Man U has Charlton and Arsenal the Wolves

 

[roseboy64]

if you have only just played your first friendly then they shouldnt be coming in for about another year yet...

Meant the upcoming season. . Already played a season winning the league and cup double.

I remember on CM01/02 the team that won the champs league was usually the team that had crespo, or his regen. That was my one gripe with that game, there were too many players who were ridiculously good, raul, christian vieri and crespo would score 40+ goals a season on a regular basis.

Haven't noticed this, despite playing with the original database. Crespo has spent most of his career with Milan IIRC, who have only won the CL once despite dominating Italy. As for other players being ridiculously good - I have always thought this is somewhat realistic, for example on 07 the better players hardly had a superior average rating to the mediocre ones I noticed. England have been well represented in the CL - United have won it twice (one as part of a Treble) and Liverpool have retained it the past two seasons despite coming 3rd domestically both seasons.

new patch is good, downloaded a sensatioskin its black n12 or something like that. some good logos etc.

playing as yes you guessed it Liverpool, after 22 matches i am struggling, 14 points of 1st whom is chelsea. i am 8 pints of 2nd , man utd and 1 point behind everton who are 3rd.....i just beat arsenal 3 - 2 , still in the fa cup, champions league. ju going through the motions to hopefully catch chelsea.......nots ure its possible with them so far out in front. see if the board sack me and i will just keep this game going and try and get a job else where. enjoying the new patch though!

I think on 01/02 strikers stats are fairly realistic, however after a few years (when regens kick in) there seems to be far too many awesome keepers and hardly and great midfielders. But overall i think strikers stats are pretty much spot on.

 

[Majin]

One thing that's starting to bug me about FM08 is the amount of disallowed goals, again I don't know if it's a tactical thing (other team playing offside rule a lot or something) or whatever but I've been getting a hell of a lot of disallowed goals recently and it's bloody annoying. Should have just comfortably beat Swindon 3-1 but had two goals disallowed. Other thing is I think opposing teams have had about 2 goals disallowed against me all season, but that one is around goal #10 disallowed for me. Pah.

edit: the new patch definitely fixed the crazy goalscoring matches up, though. Been going good guns generally, sitting pretty at the top of the table at the moment.

 

[sledger]

hmmm the patch is meant to stop the amount of dissalowed goals as well, i noticed that with the patch i see far fewer dissalowed goals (particularly from corners), havent played FM for a few days now, havent had the time, however my cars going into the garage tomorrow morning so I should have plenty of time to play it when i'm waiting around before I can go and collect it.

 

[bugssy]

i just got sacked by liverpool was running 4th but still in the championsleague 1/4's and still in the fa cup so i took an offer from west brom, running 15th in the championship....first game v blackpool won 2 - 0

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Finished 4th in my first season with City with the new patch, good stuff so far. Won the FA Cup as well, knocked Blackburn off in penalties after taking out Chelsea in injury time in the semi.

The best bit about this season, for me:
So going into the last round, Man Utd were 11 points clear on top and assured the championship. Then, out of nowhere, they're docked 9 points for going into administration, then lose in the last round to Championship-bound Wigan. Chelsea won the league by a point.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Noticed that United's finances were somewhat unrealistic on 08, myself.

Anyway on my game Everton ended up retaining the league with a record number of points, and Liverpool were a minute away from making it three CLs in a row before finally losing on pens (SI seem to have got the English teams out on pens algorithm right).

Now time for another charge at the CL, season has started none too convincingly in the league, mind, general good form but sporadic losses to sides I shouldn't be losing to.

 

[Johnners]

Gah, need to install the 08 patch. Sick of my strikers hitting shots straight at the keeper in one on one situations, and I'm also getting annoyed at the plethora of disallowed goals. I'd been putting off installing it simply because I cbf downloading it, but yeah, will be doing so now, before I break something in frustration.

yeah i've noticed this as well, it seems the developers of SI have overestimated the amount of debt man utd currently have, apparently unless you fix this on the editor every game you play will see man utd go down the tubes financially somewhere down the line.

I have no problems with this.

 

[sledger]

still enjoying game with fiorentina, in 4th with about 12 games to go, milan and sampdoria breathing down my neck. After Mutu demanded to leave and neglected to show up for training on three occasions I decided that he had to go, so off he went to Chelsea for £15, decided against signing vicente as a replacement and opted for buying the young ajax full back urby emmanuelson for a fraction of the price with a view to converting him into a left winger of sorts. Will have done well to still be in fourth at the end of the season tbh, but an UEFA cup place is as good as guaranteed.

Will post some screen shots tonight maybe.

Yes, I shall be editing it a bit when I start.
