SI haven't confirmed FM's release date to my knowledge, that's just Play making up a date

I'm not sure why preorder matters in this case usally it's that you'd get the game shipped to you earlier, but it will be available to everyone at the same time so I'm not sure why a pre-order or it's not being available yet matters

It was a misunderstanding from me. I thought it was a boxed version.

Okay, but I could pre-order FM2007 from a Swedish internet store. This is weird...

You can pre-order it but SI haven't confirmed the release date, so any dates provided on the internet is speculation

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 9:33 pm

Okay, thanks for the information. Then I won't be disappointed if it's not in our mailbox at 20th October.

Time to renew that Ehm addiction once more

, looks very promising with the fantasy draft imo, good way to keep the game fresh

All I can say is "WAHOOOOOOOO!". This is going to take up all my time. I am in deep trouble.

I love every shot that's coming out, especially because they all seem to have something new that will really help the game. At this point, the "cherry on top" for me would be finding out that they implememnted a way to mask all player attributes at all times("wizard mode" from the freeware).

... I'm not getting my hopes up, though... because I seemed to have been the only one at the SI forums who wanted it.

Man, this is getting better from shot to shot!!!!

Just a quick question: does the 2D game engine mean that the matches will look more or less like in Football Manager???
Because if its like that, then its real GREAT!!!!

Cant wait!!!

It will just like FM.

The 2D engine is ever so slightly jumpy if you watch it at normal speed but it is far better than last year's. If you watch the game at fast or very fast speed then it looks absolutely fantastic. It is such an improvement over 2005

WoW!!! WoW!!! WoW!!!

Man, cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

I just pre-ordered my copy yesterday (I was on "vacation" moving last week and didn't have internet access until yesterday, so I missed the discount). It's a good thing that I'm super busy at work lately. It's going to make the wait much easier! I can't wait to play this game though.

I have to say that as the database rounds into final form and they have worked to tune things the game is getting to be rather awesome

The latest version we've gotten for testing the Fantasy Draft which I've been testing for months now is really fantastic and quite the challenge, you guys are gonna love it.

You just wanted to rub it in our faces that you've already got the game, don't you?

Nah rubbing it your face in it would be to say that I've been playing the new game since June.

I've got the game, and this could very well be the landmark game of the series. Being able to finally watch all your games no matter what your GM settings... having the games play in real-time... and the expanded tactical options... My life will be dedicated to this version for the next year or so.

NOTE: DO NOT READ UNTIL SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2006.
