Heh. Good try.

The SI site is seriously slow and has been noted by many of the official forum members. I have been trying for ages now, but have to go to work. Hopefulkly it will work.

Have you got it?

[Shave]

ooooh i'm loving the sound of some of the feaures :D esp half time team talks

[Thomp]

\o/

I'll definitely be getting this. The new features sound awesome, half time team talks will be great :)

Yep. Seems really good although you tell it's the BETA version obviously.

Doesn't seem radically different but should be worth buying. :)

The team talk option is an excellent idea. Many matches are turned around by managerial input during half time, and it was frustracting being about to talk to players OUTSIDE of matches, but not in them.

Downloading now :)

[streety]

I had to stop playing management games after CM4. Used to never get anything done and would spend all day playing it.

Damn you and your To Madiera!

[jonffm]

The team talk thing was pretty good, and I like the new stuff like being able to pick how the ball is played to target men. Me thinks i'll set Crouch to 'Head'. :)

Couple of data errors, unless it's because it's the BETA version so it doesn;t include everything...like when Garcia scored, it said it was a debut goal :s

Alot more transfer activity too, which is good, and the rumours you get about your players are good.

I'll be buying it when it comes out, me thinks.

I want an option to 'be less shit'

You are sitting there and you just watch a huge hole open up in your defence and then a goal is scored.

/me puts head in hands

[AngryPaul]

Can't even get onto the SI site now, let alone to the download page :mad:

Edit/ Getting it from Gamershell.com

[Mr stabby]

Im getting it for xmas, without even playing the game, im such a Fanboy.

Oooh, me likes the injury thing too. Sometimes if your players are injured, you can give them pain-killing injections so that they can play in the next game, but it means they will probably be out for longer afterwards. Snazzy :)

Yup, the new features seem very cool. The actual game itself still needs work though.

I seem to get a lot of injuries, and it's very goal hungry:

Still, looking very good for the full game. :cool:

:D Currently playing as Tottenham:D I've had a reasonably good start to the season, drawing with Villa, beating Chelsea 2-1 and Wigan 3-0, and losing 1-0 to Man Utd.
And I've signed this guy called De Cock:p
Does anyone know if you can use non-real players in this game?

[dogincognito]

Not in the demo. I'm sure you will be able to in the full version.

[Thomp]

Yes, it's taking ages to download for me too :(

Hurry up, I want to play what appears to be one of the best managerial games ever...

edit: Tried getting it from Gamershell, but 1 and a half hours!? :( I'll get it tomorrow instead

[streety]

I need broadband... :(

[Nuclear Spoon]

:(
I'm so shit at this game.
I lost 2-0 to Coventry then 2-0 to Charlton...
I want to cry.

I want to cry.Could be worse. Could have lost 1-0 to Grimsby.

[Shave]

ouch! :p

[jonffm]

XD toche, AP.

I wouldn't get too arsed off about it not downloading, there isn't THAT much new to see. The matches seem more realistic, and there are alot of nice little touches dotted around, but nothing MAJOR.

[Nuclear Spoon]

I've now given up on club football, I'm hopeless. However, I have now taken up the job of coaching Holland to World Cup glory under the alias of the Gambian "Shitface McWillies". It cracks me up every time I get mentioned.

*No offense to any Gambians here. I chose the nationality randomly.

[Nuclear Spoon]

I apologise for the double post, but...
The gold demo is
