I have recently purchased FMH the original version. I have been playing it the last couple of days and i have became quite addidctive to it.

Im debating whether to splash out for the new version.

What I want to know is apart from the obvious squad updates what new features does FMH08 have and how much more detail does the game go into.

Best reason imho is that its an up to date and improved version of the original.

The new version has many improvements (player interaction, more media, editable database etc.) but its not the 'feature count' which is important imho but how the game plays as a whole which is what we try and improve with each version.

Compared to the original, FMH08 has a lot more to offer.

~ New Unlockables
The new one being the ability to remove work permits.

~ Media Interaction
Reply to transfer speculation, trophy and competition speculation such as 'Will you win the league'.

~ Editable Database
Able to create your own leagues by editing teams and players, add yourself in the game! And, you can update by the transfer windows.

~ Tactics
Create your own formations rather than use preset.

~ Reserve Squad
Basically, a dumping ground for young players or those who you can't sell. Increases squad numbers from 36 to 72 and, i normally loan players out and then put them in the reserves to free up space.

~ Much more
So much more, check out independant reviews at the following link

Forgot to add,

If you get the newest version of the game FMH08, then you can participate in challeges such as FMH United and the rest, which Ridley, MightOwl and others participate to.
