Mine is taking soooo long to Download what's weird because it's normally pretty fast. I'm looking forward to involving the youth team in the Pre-season as I don't have much of a Life besides Football Manager
Sam Hoskins came on for me in CCRd1 and scored the 2 goals in the game ! lost 1st league game tho 2-1 already had reeves, hoskins, doble & shaw play, with ward-prowse an unused sub - with stephens and sinclair on the fringes (both 4 star pot)
Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Sinclair, and Stephens are all looking awesome. Cork, Schneiderlin and Lallana have great potentials as well. Bit of a shame about Hammond, Chaplow, Martin, Seaborne and Holmes all being severely underrated.
Match engine is improved, but Saints show up as all white and the numbers are really wonky and off-centre.
Wanted to sign J-Rod, they told me to pay £12m (!!) so I told Cortese to negotiate for me. Ended up signing him for £4.2m. Don't mess with the Don.
You could on the last game to be fair, I just never used it because the first time I did, it didn't work so it demoralised me. Fancied it on this one and it worked, felt a bit weird, I didn't have a say in anything, just one day heard that Jay Rodriguez had signed for me for "Up to £4.2m". Not bad stuff.
Couple of things to point out: The demo goes until Christmas then you can';t continue until the full game is released, then you can continue the demo game without starting a new one The star rating system is massively flawed imo, if Schneiderlin has 4.5 potential now, if you get promoted it will drop to 3/3.5 maybe lower. The stars are based on the ability of your current squad and the league you are in, not in general. So if Scheiderlin was at say Man Utd his star rating would be much lower. EDIT - If you want to raise any issues about Saints in the game you can do so here and the researcher will look into it http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/276410-ENGLAND-(Official)-Southampton-Data-Issues
