Football Manager 2008

Earl Hafler · April 15, 2008

Every couple of years i try the newest version of Football Manager to see if they've improved it and, yet again, it's absolute shyte.

Liverpool 38 shots

Aston Villa 2 shots.

Score ? 2-2. Just one example of many. It happens in football but far too often in FM. Poor keepers with an average rating of 6.7 suddenly put on a 9/10 MOTM performance.

Shevchenko runs around like he's f***ing 21 ! He outpaces most of my defenders whereas Torres struggles to get away from defenders he outruns every week in the Premiership. Maxi Rodriguez doesn't seem quick whilst Walcott and Wright-Phillips resemble the spot ball set to the fastest speed on the old Atari tennis squash game.

Ballack scores every f***ing time Chelsea play me and is ludicrously overrated.

In two seasons i've had maybe 2 penalties given in 90 minutes whilst giving away umpteen in injury time - usually against the Mancs or Chelsea - which results in a potential draw turning into a screen-smashing loss.

3 cup finals, 3 penalty shoot-outs, 3 losses with Gerrard and Torres missing the crucial pens.
