Football Manager 2010

This thing is coming out on Friday and i find myself contemplating buying it to wile away the evenings over the winter.

Anyone else thinking of doing likewise?

I had one of these games years ago and it was mighty craic. The demo of this years game has been out about a week now and it seems to be getting excellent reviews.

The Total War series is my choice for the winter evenings. My invasion of Scotland is underway and going well, and not an english cunt to be seen in Ireland. Truly I am the king of kings.

What’s this Total War thing is it like Civilisation?

It’s too good to be compared to anything else. Have a look on youtube. Medieval 2 Total War is the one I have now. The latest one is Empire Total War but you’d nearly need a supercomputer to run it smoothly. Rome Total War is probably the best of them, it’s the first one I played. There was a BBC TV series called ‘Time Commanders’ that was based around it. Watching an episode of that would give you an idea of the battle side of it. The games are massive though, so much detail on every imaginable front.

Shan we can continue our conversation here.

In the fifth season in my game Valencia have a superb team.

David Villa and David Silva are unreal altogether.

They’ve also signed Vidic and Moutinho amongst others.

The money problems must have been solved.

I find it tough to manage outside of the premiership.

I hardly ever manage outside of the Premiership or Championship to be honest.

Rafael and Jonny Evans are class a few years in you should hold onto them.

What format is this game in?

The Total War series is PC only. Rome and Medieval are fantastic, my computer wasn’t quite up to Empire so I can’t vouch for that.

Bought FM2010 today, as a rule I can’t really stand soccer but I’ve a soft spot for sport management sims.

I don’t seem to be in control of the reserves/youth, how do I change this?

I think you need to pass Garda vetting to get control of the youth team Turenne. Pop into your local station and they’ll sort you out.

Manager options.

Where would these be?

Is anyone here any good at this? Installed it the other day and will welcome all available expertise.

It’s an excellent game in fairness, i’ve been playing it on and off for the past few months. What would you like to know?

Tell me some of your golden rules dunph

That’s a bit vague, you’ll have to give me some of your preferences.

The one thing i’d say is you’re going nowhere without making good training methods for your players and assigning players to these based on their strenghts/weaknesses or positions. Bring in the best of coaches. This area is the first thing i look at when taking over a new club…

I was class at the 2008 version so assume I’m red hot at this also.

4-2-3-1

That is all.
