i'll probably get both.

there's talk that FM2009 will have some major changes, namely theyre
adding a 2.5D Match screen, apparently.

2.5 D? Slightly more isometric than, well, 3/4 isometric? I suppose that
means SI are going to add a false perspective in height since the old way
of expanding dot size just would not do. Good though.

Eventually they would have to take the plunge and go whole hog 3D. The
tech and gfx are mature enough for it. The niggling little problem is
tying it in with the AI. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)

well, i've been told they've been playing with the 3d engine used in a
PS2 game sega did, called "Let's make a soccer Team" or something,
though obviously tweaked and altered.

Basically I want what I get from the previous FMs. I'm not interested on
going online to play, I just want to play my game. Would that be FM09?

More important: drunk management can be continued with fm2009

Great, cheers guys. When I bought FM07 I was hoping it would be the one and
only edition where Oxford started in the Conference, FM09 will be the third

I'm hoping FM09 will be the only edition with Gillingham in League
2...

(waits for the obvious comments about FM10 and Conference...)

The Gills will do a Luton and fade out of existence in FM10. But with the
magic called 'the editor', they rise to the Premiership and become richer
than ManUtd and a transfer kitty bigger than Real and Barca combined.
Shame their rep will still be Sunday pub side grade.

I'll probably pass again, unless I can actually manage Durham City.
There's still plenty of life left in the saves I'm running on FM06.

I may consider FM09 if there's a huge amount of new stuff in it, there
wasn't enough in FM07 and 08 for me to go out and buy it.

As for FM Live, I have no interest in that whatsoever.
