I'm using fake players, and they all get a unique and realistic face drawn that changes with age and morale. Just this one change adds a lot to the game.

Match day is fluid, as there are well-written pre- and post-match analysis, pre-match, half-time and full-time team talk, real-time tactic changes (no need to pause).

Media are m,ore active than in FM07. For instance they will hound you after your team wins by a dodgy on-off-side goal, and you'll form rivalries with other managers in clubs. I even complimented a manager after his recent success, but he turned round and said he was flattered but thought I was incompetent.

On the subject of incompetence, club confidence is also improved, having clear subsections fully detailing your fan's opinions on you. For example, it has a section on transfers, and the fans think I've made a brilliant signing, although a crushing 7-3 defeat against a non-league team overshadows the positives...

All in all, very good, and the interface and UI are nice. Lots of player photos if aren't weird like me and prefer to use real players, lots of kits and logos.

Only problem is, my wonderteam from 03/04 have gone bust in real life so aren't in the game... not so wonderous in reality I guess.
I got it yesterday and i have only done friendly's so far but they still haven't fixed the really annoying bug which is there are injuries and red cards in alot of games. Apart from that it's good but i can't believe they haven't fixed that bug.
