Now I still struggle to find live games early morning UK time, but with the changes I will have more to do and spreading myself thinly will be a problem so I am cutting back to 3 live and 1 beta because I love my first team and 2 are currently doing so well, and the beta will stay because I want to help develop the game I am currently in the process of closing some of my teams, I currently have 8 (7 paid and 1 beta) and the reason I started each of them was the same, the gameworld I was in had only a few people online, I was bored and threw $12 at something new to do for the night, each time I couldn't bring myself to close the old team.

The standalone PC game will no doubt be a massive success. The screenshots of FM2010 look great and for those that want to take a known team with known players and make them their own – I can see FM Live managers investing in FM2010. However, the difference between FM and FML for me is huge as I’ve written in a previous article. [...] [...] Football Manager 2010 is coming as is Football Manager Live v1.3.

Personally I'll be trying to make the most out of the AI teams in 1.3. The AI teams are all rated 1 to 20 stars, so the obvious challenge is to start with 1 star rep AI team and then work your way up through to 20. I got through to 6 star rep and this self-imposed challenge I can see being fairly common. It's certainly a step closer towards the "challenges" that we'll see in the future. Nice one. :) That makes loads of sense. Personally I’ll be trying to make the most out of the AI teams in 1.3.

Right now, you can only play games, scout for youth (you cant buy the best due to 20k wages) and chat in the lobby. I need some challenges to do for myself, something to do when people dont want to play. I am really looking forward to academies, to see if they will convince me.. but that is half a year away.

Now I am a bit bored there.. Got the star, won the tournaments, dislikes the community.. So it was to try out a new tactic.. wheater or not it gave me something or not, I am not sure.. But I am now an experience richer. I did sign up for the calla account because a friend convinced me to, now I like the place and want to stay there..

I was 8 seasons in Saunders, then things happened, and I moved to Whiteside.. That GW is okay, but I have had my focus more on another gw (callaghan), where I have great succes and are really active in the chats.. In Whiteside I am a top10 team as well, but I dont know / dont like the active players there.. So I am thinking of moving back to Saunders, just to catch up and see how everything is. Then I might jump to a new GW when it opens as the subscription is a one year one. For me the community is the most important thing.. Without bragging, I do now what it takes to get to the top30, so I could do that at any gw, so I might move a bit around to find the right place for my second account.. I think it is possible to active in two GWs.. So I hope I find another great one at some point.. If they start a new GW I will jump from Whiteside to that..
