    Hi,

    Did anyone buy FM09? What a farce! I spent £30 on a game I couldn't play for hours! Glad to say I've got it activated now and I'm managing Stoke City

    Mario Mandzukic of Dinamo Zagreb is over rated. He is great in the FM game, but not so much in reality.

    Not quite. Everton bought a contract allowing them to get access to the full FM database. Not sure why a multi-million contact is needed when you can buy the game for £30!

    Not too happy with the new release tbh. Very slow compared to earlier versions, and the 3D option could have been so much better...

    I agree about the 3D match - When you change the detail of the 3d match from 'medium' to 'high' all you get extra is a stadium shadow!
