Hi Hannay
Glad to hear you'v registered! Like yourself, I struggled with the Beta after a while but I reckon it's going to be superb being part of it all from the very beginning and will be addicitive in no time.
Plus imagine how great it's going to be when they continually update the game whether that be with new features, match engine etc.
One element of the Match Engine I noticed immediately when playing the Beta was the fact that the players now surrounded the ref whenever it said they were - this only happened once in FM08.
I used to think that playing FML would stop my FM08 game but I don't think it will because there'l invariably be nights that I will set aside for FML and then people may not be online - so I'll just play on FM08 instead
Im in gameworld Lineker and my team name is : Old Hill
Here's my badge (got it done initially from fml badges and then I modified it a bit) and a strip I created:
