Thread: Football Manager 2008? (PC)

Hmmm I am undecided on this. Played 2 won 2 - 6-0 v Man City and 4-0 v Borough! Could be just me, and a good start, seems a wee bit easy at the moment.

I don't really like the new set up or the new skin, but we shall see how I get on

Well i along with alot of other people (read a forum) find it harder. I have been struggling to beat non league teams and i lost to Carlisle!

Hmmm. I'm finding it rather challenging at the moment. Condition, in paticular, depletes very quickly and a lot of players get tired after just one or two matches.

When I was playing CM 03/04, I'd go winning 10-15 games in a row, and I decisively beat PSV with a gang of misfits that would make a Conference side embarassed. So the difficulty is a change, at least.

Yeh it is harder with championship manager about three years ago i was PSV and i won something like 14 trophies in 4 seasons. Don't think i am going t be doing this on this game.

See I have bought all through the series and they have been progressivly harder, but my trust 4-2-3-1 works wonders,

That and I am Man Yoo helps

Yeh it does help when your Man Yoo.

Do you play the same formation/tactics or do you base them on the opponent and who's playing etc?

Typically same formation and player tactics, but change depending on the team I am against. Don't want to be attacking away to Arsenal for example. Changing specific player instructions to keep the full backs where they should be against counter attacking teams and using Mr Hargreaves primarily as an anchor to cut out any threats the opposition might have in the midfield/attack

I hate these football games, i do like football but to be honest, if you want to play football, why don't you just go outside and kick a ball around with your mates, its much more fun.

Call me boring but: 4-4-2

I'll give it a try though. I'm playing Dnipro next in the Ukrainian Cup, so it shall be a challenge...

Btw, if you're wondering "why Ukraine?", I started playing as a Ukrainian side as a joke (and to waste time). And then I began winning...
