Stadiums - Quite a Fuss

As soon as I saw stadiums I realised it was a game changer. Lets be honest prior to this the game was 'here is £200k a day GO GO GO', a mad rush to sign as many of the top players as possible. It was more fantasy football than MMORPG or FM09, actually the short route to success was to trade.

The quick route is still open although you'll only be getting £160k a day, you have to choose do I take that path and peak early or take a long term view.... The ones that take a long term view will eventually have such financial might that they'll overtake the short termers by quite some way.

Prior to stadiums owning five or six world class players was simply a race to trade up now you'll first have to make sure the club can support that type of player. To Qualify for this what is required? Time, quite simply put the time in and you'll get there.

I suspect it's a dam sight easier to get there in an old gameworld rather than a brand new one of course there is no telling that to any managers.

The main issue now remains is keeping the old gameworlds active, rumours are starting to wash through that Si are planning to make them more attractive makes me a little nervous in that it's already a cushy ride to the top compared to starting in a new gameworld.

A minor criticism of SI would be that they when faced with managers saying it's not fair seem to try to make it fairer, ala lets give everyone £250k a day :)
