Football Manager 2009 3D Engine Really this time

Here is the link for the video.

Well I was wrong about the Betaworlds with the official announcement that they all go down on Monday, apart from Gw24 which stays open for a little longer. I had started to get attached to the GW22 squad and it did look like we were about to put a run together. In one full season we did have one minor honor in the XEFA U21 Cup so at least we didn't come away empty handed.

As far as I know we still are not allowed to discuss 1.0.1 which I'm not allowed to talk about (started to write something more there but stopped myself). As I write every server has gone down and with less than a week to the first commercial server going live doesn't bode well.

I've been keeping an eye out for FM09 and the demo is out Sunday ish. The big news is the 3D match engine which looking at the video looks functional. Can't quite understand why it's taken them so long to produce that though I did notice there was a leaked video of Championship Manager in 3D around April so maybe it was a case of something they had to do.

It's pretty low quality but this is it.



I think I've mentioned this before but I liked the single player series before it went and tried to simulate man management and human interaction. So FM09 doesn't really excite me and when the announce new features like you can relay the turf at the ground it's reminds me that I do like football games but don't have anorak that's quite as big as that.
