I have 08 and 09. 09 is much better especially since you can make a custom team. and I feel graphics are WAY better.

Just my feelings.

If you are using 09 database, I think that PCM09 is better only with creating the custom team and some more track disciplines... I think the graphics are only a bit better Smile

This is what I said to someone else:
I don't quite remember for how long time you've been playing CyM and PCM. But this serial follows a special cycle. One edition is bad, but includes many new features, the next includes a few new features and is less buggy than the previous version and the one after that is prety much a polished up version of the previous version - with PCM09 being the last-mentioned.

That said, I'd say it's all worth it. The game is cheaper than in previous years, and the gameplay improvements really are better than one might think at first sight. Also, DB making is a hell lot more easier which means that we'll see more and better DB projects.

Also, the new track modes are a lot of fun, especially online.

So, low price, almost bug free game, better gameplay - I'd say go for it.

Imo you did lie on the "no bugs" part there Pfft
But I'm liking my first experience with PCM alot. Though Football Manager is still at a higher level as a manager game.

Well I just jumped from 7 to 9... that was definitely worth it.

I was worried it wouldn't run.. but it actually runs betterthen 7 did on my POS machine.

football manager gets worse and worse in my opinion. more and more...perfect, but more and more...boring. too much stupid stuff like the computer got it in for the manager in the 2nd season. etc. no soul. pcm09 is worth it. its preatty cheap, and as crue said, an improvement. i for one dont want to play pcm08 when i know i can get 09 for the worth of an extra hour at work Smile

Cool thanks for the feedback, i think i'll probably give in and buy it if i get a minute today heh. I just reeeeally wish there was a "Be a pro" mode as i'm sure most people would agree with my given the number of stories that are centered around just one rider.

Yeah, a Be a Pro-mode would be pretty geniuos Wink But you could create yourself in the game and watch him/you develope Smile Not quite the same, though, but it does the trick Smile
 
Stijn_vranken
you would overbias yourself
the best be a Pro-mode i know is that of Madden , its genius
prevent hangovers --> stay drunk
pozzato, basically the most stupid cyclist around

RIP WW. Gone but not forgotten

I havent seen the one in Madden, how does it compare the one in FIFA09?

So you can create your own team in 09? That would be awesome if i were any good at making Jerseys or equipment lol and i'm excited for the new track modes, I always wanted something that had a different strategy than "Draft then come out to win last second" like a points race or something of the sort

Will007 and Rasm and many other shirt makers, have made threads where you can request a fantasy shirt, if you are lucky they make it. Wink

Important! Only request when they say so, otherwise they get a little mad I think Grin
(Will and Rasm, please correct me if i'm wrong) Grin
