I've started a career on FM11 after getting it from Santa. I must say it runs like a dream compared to previous versions. So silky smooth and so responsive. On the same PC FM09 and FM10 chug away and have noticable delays post click, but there is none of that on this one.
Everything seems better so far. Contract negotiations are more realistic and I love the ability to chat with your players. I started off as Everton with a £2m transfer budget and about £30k in the wage budget left. After sacking a few members of backroom staff and paying fees for their replacements I thought I would only be able to dabble in the loan market. However after spotting that I needed a right winger I clicked on Landon Donavan to see if he was available for loan so I could pick him up in January like Everton did. There was a button to approach the board about signing him. Kenwright got on the task and snapped him up for me as I told him he was vital to me achieving the goals the board had set. That is a ridiculously superb addition to the game. I guess you will only be able to do this so many times but it's a fantastic and realistic (Well, apart from old Bill pulling off a deal) addition. In previous games I was always really annoyed when a fantastic player was available for a great price, but you couldn't sign him because you didn't have any funds available to spend, despite there being £30m in the bank.
