New features in FM2009

Posted by Unknown Friday, November 28, 2008 at 11:00 PM

Currently I started to explore the new features in FM2009. For beginning I managed my favorite team Arsenal. Now I want to tell you my impression and experience during playing this new FM.

TV view

In this view we can see the players play in 3D format. I really like this feature because I can see the style of play. When counter-attack or during offside. We can see it clearly. This excitement continues when you can see the ball hit the post or save by goalkeeper. You can feel the nervous and pressure. I guarantee.

In this view you can also set the widget that you want to appear on the screen. I like to use player formation widget.

Gender

This time we can choose either to be male or female manager. Of course I will choose male.

Press Conference

Before the match and after the match there will be held press conference. Usually the press conference will be held during derby match or important event like new job. This element add a new dimension in this game. It feel like in real life. The manager feel the pressure during the press conference.

Transfer Rumours

It will tell you the rumour between the player and the team that have interest with them. With estimate fees.

I have finish played for one full season with Arsenal. For next post I will tell the story about my managerial job with Arsenal.

2nd Season Begin

Posted by Unknown Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 9:29 AM

I'm back. Now I want to continue my story with Tottenham in football manager 2008. This time I start with second season.

First thing I do to strengthen my squad is by buying a couple of player during transfer window.

My major transfer are Felipe, Ever Banega and Wijnaldum. This season I prefer to make my defend more hard to break. I also buy Felipe as a replacement for King.

After 15 match of the season, I can see that I on the wright path to qualify for champions league or even challenge for the title. But it is still early to make a prediction. Anything can happen.

Because of the brilliant performance, I got award manager of the month two times on the row.
Steed Malbranque and Matias Fernandes are on form. Both of them score 11 goals. I hope they can continue with this form towards the end of the season.
