Eurogamer gives it 9/10. Pretty good imo.

struggling in the demo

last my first 4 league games with everton without scoring a goal - worst defeat was a 3-0 home thrashing by sunderland.

Beat leads 4-1 AET away in the league cup, then went out to sheffield united on penalties.

Got off the mark with a 1-0 home win to villa so hopefully things are turning around.

Sold osman and spent all my money on Donovan who has been poor. Next signing will be clint dempsey as he is clint dempsey

The demo is splendid. Too bad I won't catch it when it releases.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

started a new game when it came as I was only running the vanilla demo.

went stoke, bought defour for 6.25million and a youngster from barca for half a milliond, go kyle walker and kakuta and loan. Kakuta got injured though so I terminated it.

Lost 2-1 away to spurs first game, then went 1-0 down to west brom at home before coming back to win 4-1

Can't decide what save to start. Part of me wants to do an obscure European league with the new dynamic league feature. Another part wants to do a lower-league or a mid-table first division German/English/Italian side...

horrible run of 6 games without a win, missed a 96th minute penalty at 0-0 against arsenal in that run, too.

had 3 penalties from open play, missed all 3 and drew. Those 6 points would have moved me from 11th to 7th at the half-way stage of the season.

Got it yesterday and started a new game with Spurs. I wanted to pick a good Premiership team which I had no affiliation to.

Made one signing which was Henri Saivet for 6.25mil.

Had a great pre-season, winning all my matches quite comfortably. I actually managed to get Young Boys in the Champions League play-off, and then Inter in my group. (is that fixed?)

So far my results:

Spurs 1-0 Blackpool
Spurs 4-0 Young Boys
Spurs 4-0 Blackburn
Young Boys 1-4 Spurs
Wigan 1-1 Spurs
Liverpool 2-2 Spurs

My Champions League group is Inter, Benfica and an eastern european team, so it will be tough but I reckon I can scrape through. I've got Inter next, and I'm going to give them a taste of nostalgia with a bit of cantenaccio

Did that decision have anything to do with the fact that Gareth Bale is in absolutely amazing form in real life.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

haha it actually had more to do with Spurs having Modric, Kranjcar and Huddlestone who are three of my favourite players at the moment.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

first season boxed off, finished 10th with stoke, not bad.

had 19th worst away form with 5 away matches to go, then decided to change my set up. Won the last 5 including west ham 2-0, (finished above me) arsenal and birmingham

 

[Bevab]

With Man City, I got Heinze and the Board Manager signed Torres on my suggestion for 139,000,000$.

Torres is really nice but the goalkeeper always defends his shots. Many players are injuried (eg:Boateng, Barry etc.) so it might be tough for me.

Started the game with Man Utd, bought Donovan and Beckham(again) and beat Chelsea in the Community Sheild 3-1 on penalties. Gotta love Van der Sar, he made 3 brilliant saves.

can't wait for this weekend. when i finally get FM11.

 

[P Squared]

Bloody disappointed that I lost to Wolves 0-1 but then came back in the next match to beat West Ham 6-0.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

5 penaltlies in the season, all 5 missed. Cost me 7 points for the season which would have put me in contention for 7th place. grrrrrrgh.
