Posted October 17, 2009 I downloaded the demo earlier this morning, been playing it most of the day They really have freshened it up, and i think it's alot better than the last one. It seems so much more fluid, and it looks better, as last years looked very bland. Very happy with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2009 well just downloaded the demo bought to see if it works on my netbook. I missed out last years version and went for the handheld version instead and it lacked the depth to keep me entertained long term. Just cancelled my Football Manager Live subscription after nearly a year because have lost interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17, 2009 Just tried the demo and it works fine on my laptop which was a suprise as the FM09 demo didnt, thats why I had to skip that one. Very happy that i'll be able to go back to playing the latest versions again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, are there any other games that can run on it? Like Plants vs Zombies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't get FM10 to run I go to load it and nothing happens! FM Live runs fine but then thats only really a client with most of the processing being done server side. Plants vs zombies runs like a treat...Braid runs fine...Peggle, Lumines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 18, 2009 I didnt get last years one, so im still playing FM08. I'll probably pick this up in January after the inevitable patch that makes it actualy playable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2009 I believe it is extremely playable at the moment. The game is a lot smoother than 09. I've started with Hull, as I always do and been given a 7 million budget. One thing I will say is I just, somehow, bought Beckham, for Hull, for .5m. Hummmm, Some realism still needed to be worked on. Bought Rivaldo as well.

That's a bit disturbing to hear FM has always had excellent realism...although Beckham is desperate to whore himself out to any club who will give him the football so its not too unbelievable...Also Rivaldo has played for some odd teams recently... I still can't get the demo to run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention the post Christmas price reduction that always happens. Think I'll give this seasons game a miss, I've got last years, barely played it. Plus from reading the text it doesn't sound vastly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 29, 2009 Well picked this up finally after some guy on the sigames forum created a great netbook skin. It works fine runs like a dream and having missed FM09 in favour of the handheld version so theres a ton of new stuff... Plus playing as pompey is rock hard...no money to start with so you have to wheel and deal (can't even afford loan fees) but then if you sell players in Jan transfer window the board release funds but you can't spend them until deadline day due to transfer embargo. Makes for one bloody hard game! I'm 20 games in 7 points above relegation but not won for 5 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2010 sorry to bump this thread but i need to find out if this game comes with a french language option? My mate wants to know and we've tried googling.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 15, 2010 I dunno for sure, but I'd assume so. I've seen my friend play it in Dutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Bump as i've just picked this up. Started a game as Totteringham, Modric threw his toys out of the pram so I ended up selling him to Man City for £35 million replaced him with another Croatian midfield Milan Bedlj or something for 1.1 million :awesome: Is Pavlychenko normally really good in this game? he finished the first season with 37 goals from 37 games including 14 in the last 6 games that powered me into 3rd. Man City finished 8th . Sold all my strikers apart from pav in the transfer window and bought Edin Dzeko and Lukaku who my scouts where raving about also bought in a few youth players. Currently top after 4 games won them all scored 12 goals conceeded 1 I have just drawn barcelona in my Champions League group though Edited May 3, 2010 by Noodleman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
