Oh yeah! Got my copy today and I must say the new features really work well!
The team talk is very effective, I was 2-0 up and it gave me the choice to say "Dont get too complacent" which really made my team defend well while also trying to get in more oppotunities for Henry and Reyes.
Theres quite a few other features like the 'Manager Snapshot' which you can view by clicking on your manager name. It has lots of info on one screen, everything you need to know like your next opponent, league position, transfer budget etc.
This game has so much depth it's unbelievable.
Go buy it.

I do tactics, and bring in some talent, generally not obsesing over youngsters.
Usually bring in a player in each (general) position, GK, D, MF and ST.
On another note - is FM2006 worth £30? I mean, my CM / FM cycle is usually to buy it once every two years... And from the looks of it, FM '06 doesn't update FM '05 all that much.

I do the same as Kawada.
I don't do anything about individual tactics but i do change the team's tactics. Often go for an quick attacking short passing game down both flanks with the option on the counter attack

I usually spend quite a bit on tactics...usually do everyone's individual tactics too. I don't think you can really win anything by just sticking players on the pitch tbh.

I was wondering, how do you guys usually play the FM games?
Is it a case of buying the players, sticking them on the pitch and hoping for the best, or do you spend much time on tactics?

Despite being a football fan this is my first ever dip into Football manager.

First poor result as Arsenal - lost 2-0 to Schalke in the CL group stages, not a good start... :(
Arghh... Paid for 1st class delivery, and hasn't come yet (Obv. wouldn't come today) Anyways, if it ain't ere tomorrow, heads will roll...
Recoba's gotten 8 for me in all the matches he's played in (4 so far.) £11 million for Messi? I got him for £4 million ^_^ I also bought Alex from PSV for £9 million, my defence needed strengthning.
Is Recoba worth getting? I actually need an attacking midfielder and was going to get Leo Messi, but Barcelona wont even accpet £11M for him so I might try and get Recoba instead.
