Does anyone on here play it. I think im addicted , spend all my spare time playing it, when im at work all i can think about is tactics. ive forgotten what the wife looks like, havent shaved for days, keep waking up thinking about 15 year old brazilian strikers . its brilliant and ive been on it just over a week.

You're probably not alone Peza!

I want to get it, but I daren't, through fear I'll become addicted to it. If it's anything like Championship Manager I will be. And it sounds 100 times better from the reviews I've read...

It is 100 times better, and you start at the bottom. you cant just set your tactics like you do in the normal game. you have to earn coaching badges etc to set forward runs ,tackling etc. you design your kit, build up your stadium.

you can choose what league you join by what time youre around computer, people on there are really helpfull.

cant reccommend it enough.

Cool! So the more you build up as a coach, the more options become available to you? What happens if you take charge of Man U and don't have any options available... must be exceptionally tough to win games? All part of the challenge though, I guess!

By this, do you mean the time of the in-game calendar?

Used to play FIFA 2007 with my housemate at uni... and it was the only time where I'd really swear my head off and get angry and frustrated. We'd often both play on the same team - me on keyboard, him on gamepad, both of us against the computer and we'd do something like Grimsby Town vs. Italy and try to beat them. Phoned him last night as he's just got engaged. It's amazing how much emotion you can get out of a computer game!

Did he get engaged to the computer game? :D

Today of all days outlines the variance of intelligence and logic in your posts, Vegy, my good friend. :D

But I will say one thing - that one made me laugh. :)

Not if you're at home as you'll get all the decisions anyway :wink (just kidding Peza and Scooby :D )

it doesnt use real team names, you make up yor own team from scratch like everyone else had to. there are daytime leagues, evening leagues eaely evening leagues etc.
