Downloaded from disk, but seems to take a while playing the games, so I just go on holiday for the games. Play my tactics and team selection though etc. In a few week, Will probably download via steam and check for updates and then I cana ctually play the game without much freezing.

I've done 2 seasons with Leeds.
year 1 - 2nd in the league, got to the final of the Johnstons paint, bought Lauren. (my job was insecure as I only managed 2nd).

year 2 - 1st in Championship. Bought Tomkins and Benjani, Opare (Real madrid right back) and a few others. Spent 5million in transfers. Also, a new chairman has replaced Master Bates. No changes to the funding though.


Year 3 - Done my signings for this season, and spent 20+ million. Concentrated on young hot prospect youth (one or two from Turkey and Norway) so if/when I go down, and then bounce straight back up, my team will have matured and I will then be able to hopefully finish in mid table.
Also, brought in top quality scouts and coaches along with a new assistant manager.

Half way through the first season with Shrewsbury and in 2nd place. Signed Andy Kirk and he is scoring a goal a game for me . Seems good upto now and the tactical side is a lot better

So can you buy the disk (pc version) and just put it in and play? I have the 07 one at the minute and only have to put the disk in my laptop and hey presto. All this talk of downloading and streams sounds just confuses an non IT whizz kid like myself.

Halfway through 1st season with Bradford City in 3rd place. Sold a few fringe players to get the wage bill down and bought in Seck(free), Anthony Basso(free), Bakayoura(spelling? free) and Ryan Conroy(6k from Celtic). Just got David Noble on a free aswell. Seems a good solid player and will replace Stephen O'Leary who refused to sign new reduced contract after his 6month one. Also Chris Brandon will be coming back from a 6month loan, so wage bill will be a bit messed up.

Probably the most fun i've had to the start of a FM game inawhile. Can't wait to get into League 1.

Im sill on the 08 xbox version. E625 specs. Judging from them specs, think you would have issues with the graphics and processor. Graphics might not be such a big issue but think the processor speed may make the game very slow or unplayable. An alternative is to try the FM09 version (should be able to pick a copy up for bout £10) and see how that runs as it has the same specs as FM10.

Yes mate you can, you have the option of steam (didn't do it for me) or just running straight from the disc (which requires the disc to be in at all times)

Cheers, is there any way of enhancing the processor or anything i could buy for the laptop that would enable the game to play?
