I know that this has been mentioned on official site - Pedersen's corners are 3. Surely a typo

Did you see our last corner against Sunderland on Monday?

[AndyNeil]

just downloading the 'Strawberry' demo now ... could take sometime, but better than watching x-factor!

[Heldacarite]

Surprising,at the start of the game,we have MONEY

[Tim Southampton Rover]

How much? 50p?

[DE.]

How much? 50p?

1.5M. Which is obviously wrong since we couldn't afford that to buy the Bulgarian chap.

[Clitherover]

New release date confirmed 29th October.

ignore that ######, it's 5th nov. dodgy email from play.com

How much? 50p?

it's 1.5 million and we've got a fit banjoni from start of season.

The new 3D engine is fantastic, the skin is HORRID though, and you can't change it.

I dunno if you were involved in the creation of Rovers overall tactics Dirk, but whoever implemented this has got it spot on. The CPU has our tactics pretty well nailed down, right down to MGP's long throw (as useless in the game as IRL). We're a tad too attacking, but otherwise it's very realistic. I'm impressed.

It does look better, I am very enjoying screaming at the board and not getting sacked for a change. Its also nice to see our youth is playing in a proper league, so thanks deadlydirk.

My only gripe with the new match engine is the ball, whether its my crappy graphics card or not who knows but its very difficult to see it. Also why when I have split screen in a match say one showing motivation, the other stats does it not change to full screen for the highlights?

Oh and get Hanley sorted for the next patch, he's gash.

Nice job on Rovers this time Deadly, very impressed do we get a takeover at any stage?

[Shabani]

One v v small disappointment is that neither MGP nor Olsson are accomplished at AML from the start, i thought they both would be

Which teams are dominating the Premier League at the moment in your demo's?

Just out of interest, Is Matt Jansen in the game for Chorley or can you not load up those teams?

Chelsea are top of mine at the moment at the end of the demo, I'm in 8th as Rovers Just gone on a 6 game winning run to finish the demo, beat Chelsea (h), Spurs (A), Wolves, Blackpool (a), Newcastle (h) and Wigan (A). My new tactics seem to be working, I also drew with Man Utd (A) in the game before Chelsea.

As for Jansen you can't load Chorley on the game.

[BigJackWalker]

it keeps saying theres a number of errors?

Ok so after yesterday it wasn't a typo

[Hughesy]

Not played it - could anyone tell me what improvements the game has other than the 3D engine??

[BuckyRover]

It's bloody good. Get it downloaded from Steam!

There is a review on Eurogamer.net.

When it comes to ground-breaking new features, Football Manager 2011 is unlikely to have your ticker skipping like a three year old with a lollipop shaped like a bear. But thanks to a truckload of intelligent tweaks and a generous shovelful of innovative and well-integrated additions, it turns out that this year's FM is the deepest, most complete and cohesive offering Sports Interactive has produced for some years.

There are too many new features to mention

[Glenn]

As at least one person kindly asked, here are some pre-order links the generate a little cash for the site

Play.com (includes free FM2011 mouse)

Shopto.net (couple of quid cheaper, but no mouse)

Whats the best ones then?

Is it a big difference to 2010?

Negotation now plays a big part, whenever you list players etc they request meetings with you, agents also play a much bigger role in contract negotiations and your offer has to be acceptable to them before it even goes to the player.

I haven't played any manager games since LMA for the PS2. I've pre-ordered this from Play, along with the free branded mouse, and hope it lives up to the hype. I enjoy the wheeling and dealing aspect of football manager sims so I dare say this will be right up my street.

Started unemployed as an ex semi pro footballer and took the vacant York job. Got York to top of blue square premier with a six point lead, still in all the available cups and thoroughly addicted but reached the end of the demo last night, just waiting for my copy to arrive now.

If i continue my saved game will any of the bugs i've encountered be ironed out or is a fresh game recommended?, Cheers.

[Blueboy Downunder]

i bought the 2010 version on the day or release last year, and i am yet to conquer it......part of me don't want to buy it tomorrow, until i have had success on last years version.

[BuckyRover]

Going to purchase on steam tonight. Can't wait

[DE.]

Will probably get FM11 when the patches start coming out. I'm in no rush to buy it - didn't start playing FM10 properly until April of this year!

[chaddyrovers]

is FM 2011 good? haven't got it yet till next week. What is rovers transfer budget on the game? do rovers get new owners on the game?

[Eddie]

Struggling to set up a network game. Usual port-forwarding hasn't done the trick, does anyone know if there are some new tweaks required for that?
