I can't wait for 08.  Have already placed my order.  I've also heard rumors that the NZFC may be playable.  HN do you know more?

No.  Playable NZFC is unlikely in the immediate future. 

If the Aussies get the state State leagues playable under the A-League we might manage it, but it's a nightmare with the NZFC squads not being closed until 6 weeks after our data deadline.

We need to get the Nations Cup and O-League rules right is the next goal, and the pacific islands vaguely accurate.

No. I'll give this a miss. Sigma games were good till they got bought out and then when they went their own way gain, it doesn't quite seem right. Champioship Manager in the early 2000's was good.

Def be buying this one. The last FM 2007 had some bad bugs, but they should be ironed out this time around. CM series has gone downhill, but the database of FM makes it all worth the while.
 
On pre-order through Amazon!

I have yet to check, but in theory I'm in the Aus credits and Oceania.

Edit : Actually, I think I'm in the Aus credits twice.  Does it mention KORB ?

Hey HN, do you know why NZFC isn't playable when other average leagues such as Hong Kong and Singapore are.  You did mention the squad thing, but as we both now, very soon after the release of CM / FM SI always releases an update pretty much on the day of release which would obvioulsy allow the correct squads to be updated.disco_mart2007-10-19 22:26:17

I knew I should have pre-ordered from  overseas.
 
Bloke said in the shop the other day, "well football isn't all that big over here...."

Did you slap him ?

Point out more people watch the Phoenix than the Lions, more people play the game and that he's a clueless t**ser ?

Just an idea.

Personally, I find it great for wasting time. Doesn't require physical skill, can pause and come back to it at any time, works great on the bus etc.

I took Exeter about halfway, but I've taken Nuneaton, Alto Adige and a French side (Les Lilas ?) to Champions League glory in 06 or 07.

Also took Skive to the top in Denmark, just couldn't get past Copenhagen though in 7 years, but got out of the Champions League group stages.  Just research took over so I stopped playing it.
