I seem to remember there being a few members on here who play Football Manager, so are there any with the new one?
I'm a member of a forum about football manager, no I won't bother plugging it, I feel it's tacky, but I mention it more to show how much I play it. I've been a member for about 5 years now, so I kind of am a bit addicted... well, I'm actually a member on about 4/5 Football manager sites, but I usually only go on one of the main one of those, anyway I digress (as I seem to quite often).
For those who aren't quite sure about getting it or not, but are fans of the series, in my humble opinion it's the best of the Football Manager era. It's hard to compare to say CM 01/02, because it's gone completely the other way. It aims for realism, but they've kept it very much playable. The new tactics creator is absolutely superb. I think it's the best new feature I've seen in a Football Manager game, it really is just that good. I'm one of those sad bar stewards who spends hours tweaking their tactics, but now there is actually no need to, it just works so well. The 3d match engine now looks brilliant. They've added crowds, and they react as well, but more importantly the game looks realistic. The passing, the movement, it looks like just like how you'd expect a real game to look, I'm not sure what they added, but it works.
So does anyone have it? Who are you playing as? Yes, I'm hoping for updates... unless no one's bothered, then it'd be foolish to expect updates, but still, here's hoping.

it gets about an eighth of the way through then it spits out the disc, any ideas? 
Still, I took over Chelsea (naturally), and having £68m in my pocket, decided to strengthen the squad. I've brought in 12 players plus one on loan: -
