oh dear, upto about the middle of August and not liking it very much at all. The new layout is ok once you get hang of it but so many missing features like not being able offload players by circulating their names to other clubs, Media interaction. I started as Southend and straight away something was amiss
Fan Expectation - Promotion
Media Expectation - Champions
Ron Martin - "Bravely Battle Relegation"
Freddy Eastwood value - 4.5k
The game itself doesn't feel that much quicker, where the game goes horribly horribly wrong is the match engine. The speed of it, there's no happy medium, 6 speed is still too slow and then the next speed up from that is 60 speed which is insanely fast. The 2D match engine is very buggy, I've seen an own goal nearly every other game. And not just deflections either, defenders actually hoofing it into their net under no pressure! the goalkeepers serve little purpose except to deflect shots into the net.
meanwhile Man United have signed Rory Delap from Southampton for 5.5m - Realistic player data eh?
all in all it seems Eidos have rushed this out to the unsuspecting public before the magazines can get their claws into it.
Think I'll be sticking to Football Manager 2005!
