Just got a text informting me that FM 2010 will be here at 7am. Not long to go. God bless shopto.
 
Mine's awaiting despatch from Zavvi, and delivery's not as quick as shopto, so probably looking at Thursday at the earliest for me. Need to carry on my game in the demo really anyway, not even started the proper season yet.
 
Yeah, i played a couple of friendly games in the demo then put it to rest. I'd rather wait for the full game persoanlly.
 
Finished 3rd with Everton, runner up in the Carling Cup and semi-finalists in the FA Cup. Not a bad start. All i'll say for now is Jack Rodwell is essential and Andy Carrol is a brilliant bargain. You can also get Van der Vaart on the cheap at the start of the game as long as you flog Yakubu to get the cash.

How the hell do you play seasons so quick in FM? I take forever to get through 2 or 3 games let a lone a whole season.
 
Had it since Saturday (<3 Zavvi. ?17 well spent) and loving it. Not doing brilliantly as Everton, and have been sacked, in December :laugh We weren't actually doing that badly, and were sat in 11th when I got sacked, but the 2 games we had in hand could have taken us upto 6th. The nail in the coffin came when I applied for the vacant Valencia job, not a good idea. I apoligised but the board weren't having any of it, and sacked me. I've since got a job at 20th in La Liga Malaga. Not going to be easy keeping them up!

Matt's spot on though, Rodwell is an absolute gun!

Edit: Oh brilliant. My Malaga save-game won't load, so I'm back to October. Great. =/ Bugger that, I'm starting a new game.

So, what are all the new features like, how does '10 compare to '09? Can somebody who has it already elaborate on the new features such as the tactics arranger? Does anyone bother with it or does it just look nice?
 
Quick tip for anyone playing FM 2010. DO NOT buy Hulk from Porto. Awful, just awful. On debut, against Burnley, he missed 4 sitters in the first 20 minutes, including a 1 on 1 in the area and an open goal. Worst ?19m I've ever spent. Should have bought Jovetic.

Edit: Ok, maybe I was a little hasty. I changed him to a 'Complete Forward' and he played very well, scoring a goal and getting a 7.6 rating, only being beaten to the MOTM award by Andrei Arshavin. Maybe he's not 'too' bad after all.

Mine's not come from Zavvi again, today. Should come tomorrow, but been saying that since Friday. Not their fault really, postal strike meant no post at all on Friday or Saturday.

Unlucky, bloody postmen. Mine arrived today from Zavvi. Downloading the patch now.

Not sure who to start as in my first game. I'm thinking perhaps Lincoln City as they're quite close to me locally. Or I may just start as a small club in Spain, Germany or Italy.
 
Due to having to change my card details on my FM10 pre-order from Amazon has meant it hasn't arrived yet, Hoping it will come tomorrow.

Blake, from playing the demo I can tell you it is much better than 09. The whole layout and improved features makes it very enjoyable to play. Plus it seems to be a hell of a lot faster than 09, although don't know how much of that game speed is because it's just the demo.
