Rating: - Match Engine Faults Intollerable
This is agonizingly close to being a fantastic game, but unfortunately contains enough irritations to make it (for me) unplayable.
Minor annoyances within the game aside, it's the match engine that's at fault. If they could sort out the following, all would be well:
1. The human player is unable to instruct the goalkeeper to distribute the ball to defenders, thus building from the back and retaining possession. Tick boxes exist for this, but they don't work. On the game ... Read More
Rating: - Annoying. Too random
I love this series. Started playing ChampMan in the 90s then followed it through the split and the rechristening. And FM07 was the high water mark of the series. Because FM08 is too annoying.
It's the randomness that gets me. Yes, Hull can end up 3rd in the premier league in real life. Stoke can beat Arsenal in the league and little teams can beat the big ones.

Rating: - Don't waste you life with this "RUBBISH"
First let me say this game cost me £10 pound - I got of lucky if I had paid £30 I would have cried because this game is frustrating, unrealistic and slow drive to madness.
Don't bother with tactics because this makes no difference one game you can win 3-0 away the next you lose 3-0 at home to Derby !
9/10 times goals from corners are disallowed.
You can have 15 shots on target and not score because the goalie is somehow superhuman.
Rating: - football manager loses it.
this came is awful. its far to difficult. Ive played football manager all my life and loved every one until 08. why have they made this one so hard?? whats the point?? i'm not playing it because i'm going to become a professional manager, or want to!! to sum up how terrible this game is and how flawed it is, i won promotion with hoffenheim and then found myself with a lower reputation than before!! its boring losing!
