Actually, FM09 cost £17.00 if you looked in the right places. Besides, you shouldn't compare CM10 to FM09. The clue is in the numbers!

It isn't a penny to buy, it's £2.51. However, a low price is no excuse for being rubbish!

Some of the player stats are unaccurate.

I don't think anybody expects the behavior of players to be changed or the game to be perfect but it can be overlooked,they have a great interface and in-game gfx and I'm sure future versions will greatly improve + I think even you can agree it's much better than FIFA managers or LMA managers and it's only 1 penny to buy(!) so I can't see the reason of bitching especially since FM 09 costed 40 pounds and it had major problems on release and needed 3 patches and I think many FM players still swear when they hear about FM 09,that is the reason why the account of sigames on youtube banned comments on their page :P

Look, the problems won't be fixed. They've had two years to work on this game and haven't even got it to the standard of FM2005. If you consider that it's still the same ME that was in the first post-split CM, there is NO CHANCE that issues that have been around for half a decade will be fixed in two weeks.

btw in the demo: romanian players are "non-EU" but Romania has been EU member since 2007,I hope this won't be so in the full game

even if the demo has flaws and lacks options this is the most fun manager game I played,congrats

good game but I hope these problems will be fixed! like players falling over when kicking the ball and just general behaviour of the players also nice PWYW offer.

As gillsminnow has showed, the ME is terrible. It's very shameful that you've spent two years on this, and it still has a terrible ME. You're also guilty of false advertising, because SI's ME was developed for football management, except the animations were borrowed. Furthermore, you've only been making the game for five years, producing four versions- prior to that it was a different game, now known as Football Manager. Football Manager has been going for 15 years, Championship Manager as we know it has not.

its good but the beta demo is far to slow

looks like the match engine will actually be worth watching football managers was a disgrace this one looks awesome and smooth
