Okay, played three pre-season games with Liverpool.
Surprised the budget was only £3M, but I have a decent enough squad. Just spent £2.8M on Ivica Olic, as I want another pacy striker in my ranks. Nearly signed Heskey but went for Olic instead, as I don't think Heskey would get enough first team chances.
Had Edgar Davids on trial for a couple of games, he performed well but signed for someone else during my trial.
I am impressed with the 3D match engine... still prefer the 2D one for normal play though.
I am sure a few times the game has chosen a different choice to what I clicked, as I accidentally said I was interested in offers for Gerrard, when I am certain I gave a hands-off warning. Also, whenever I type, the letter comes up twice... so when searching for England, I got "EEnnggllaanndd" which is a bit silly.
Anyway, I have two questions about FM09, about things from the guide:
Tutoring - it says you can get one player to tutor another player, how do you set this, and what benefits does it give?
Trial matches - apparently out of contract players will play in special games organised by the player's union to get managers to buy them. Might be useful if I could have any idea how to view them?

You don't have to use steam, at least, that's what I did. :unsure:
Yeah, It tried making me install it through Steam, but, I used the normal installation after that, but, now I uninstalled it, because Steam had released the new patch for it already, and then tried to install it again, and it wouldn't let me because SIGames are down and steam doesn't recognize the code.
It's one of the most stupidest games to install...EVER.

That's what I'm getting. :faceplm:.

I fully agree. My Uni internet blocks all gaming access, so I had to do it the long way, with the gaming code... which is printed very badly... I failed the first two times because the T looked like a 7 and the O was an 0 (silly me).
