wow! after the 8.0.2 patch FM 2008 IS THE BEST IN THE SERIES!

big_bob · 02-14-2008, 09:09 PM

I played a lot of games after the 8.0.2 patch with the new database and I must say it looks like a total different game.

1.The match engine has been fixed - finally, this is the best match engine so far in all FM games.
2.The player rating problems has been fixed. Except to see a lots of 9 and 10's after the patch.
3.SI tweaked the injuries with this patch - except to see few injuries in training and in games. For me, this was the biggest problem with the 8.0.1 patch - a lot of injuries. But not anymore, after 8.0.2.
4. More realistic transfer fees and stats of the players have been tweaked refelecting their evolution in real life with the new database (Silva is stil a god in FM but I can live with that.).

For me, those were the essential things that needed to be fixed.
If you noticed other things fixed by the patch, post here and share your thoughts about the new patch.

Sounds good. I am about to start a new campaign myself so can't comment yet.

One thing I am going to specifically look for is the Board Expectations issues to have been ironed out.

That was my number one gripe .. and made it unplayable in 801.

*fingers crossed

Board expectations aren't fixed

i wish i could get the bloody thing to work! It is not running at all and I do not have a clue on how to get it to run! Why did they not make it simple like all the other downloads?

It was simple ..

Open the torrent in Uttorrent. Wait. Wait a bit more. Double click newly downloaded exe.

How much more simple would you like it to be, seriously?

wish it was that simple for me!

I have played so far only 1 month and I already have about 10 players injured and the goalkeepers suck.
