Thoughts about FM2008

Have you played FM2008 yet? What do you think of the new skin? Any totally new good players that you have found yet? What about the new features?

Well Marcelo (Real Madrid), Anderson (Manchester United) and John Obi Mikel (Glorious Chelsea FC) are all described as a 'Wonderkid'.

Looking forward to seeing their potential ability for sure.

In theory, all players described as 'wonderkids' should have the potential ability to get described as 'world-class players'. By saying should have, the creators of the game suggest that should have = if trained well, whatever that means.

I've never seen a wonderkid becoming a world-class player in the past though, probably because I've never played more than 4 seasons any team I ever managed... ok with one exception (the team was Histon in the UK... an almost amateur team which I was promoting every year to the higher division until I reached Premier... 5 years!)

i found a few good players benzema - lyon , nasri - marseille im sure you know them... other guys are marcos arouca da silva - fluminense and matias fernandez - villareal. only had the game one day and that who i found

if you can take some time posting those players to the Best FM2008 Players Database, it would be cool. see how i have posted the ones already existed and try to gather as much info from those as you can, to post.

in any case, if a player is not mentioned anywhere in this site, it is good to have people sending their new findings. and so far, only 4 players are posted. i have a lot more to post, but currently no time. hopefully, soon ^^

It would be useful if you made a simple submission form entering info for new players like:

Full Name:
Position:
Description:
Age:
Team:
Nationality:
Other Nationalities:
International Caps:
Value:
Sale Value:
Personality:
Height:
Weight:

you are right, i will work on it tomorrow and let you know.
thanks for the hint ^^

I've submitted a few players I've found just tonight

I've noticed and quickly edited the posts before validating. I'm very happy to see at last someone posting something
Thanks for your contribution dude, I hope you will stick around and post some more in the next days

Henri Saiviet is amazing for my youth team. In one game he scored 5 goals for my under 18's!

Hey man you might want to just change this and your opening post to "Thoughts about FM2008" just removing demo from it since it is released now.

Done... I was replying to your new post (that I guess you deleted before my reply) and saying about my demo experience and some key players I had bought that helped me progress with dignity in all competitions (even European ones) with Aab... and then I lost my msg the moment I clicked Reply lol
I must write it again now :con

Ah sorry man, I just thought that we didn't need two especially cause we'd have been talking in both.

Check out my new amazing goal man, its unreal.

At a glance:
I selected to manage a Danish team called Aab. A great defender, Michael Jacobsen plays there.
So I bought these players:
- Rodrigo Fabri
- Eduardo
- Cahais
- Torje
- Alamo
- Mtiliga
The team did very well. In 40 games I won 34, I lost 2 and the rest draw. So, I think with a good tactic and 4-6 good players, you can get through most matches a winner.

However, the whole FM series is rather unhealthy, since I have heard of people losing their actual jobs or getting divorced by playing this game lol

Yeah it's a great game to buy if you want to fail some courses at uni (as I found out last year)

I guess that the game is more realistic now and is harder.

But I've never really played the game without the scout. Maybe thats why its so hard.
