Anyone know if FM 2008 Databases will be compatible with 2009?

Misunderstood the question 
I've heard that there are some fairly heavy changes in how stats and attributes work/are calculated/something, so I wouldn't bet on it. I don't really know though. You should ask on the official SI FM forums.

I certainly wouldn't count on it, Uber.
Nice avatar, how'd that one come about?Sults had been so kind to use the photobucket-url to the last image-tagline I had, in case I wanted to change it myself if I came up with something good while he's out of tow - so I thought a man pooping in a handbag seemed appropriate
In theory yes - you can stuff a 2007 database into Football Manager 2008. However, since there's other things changed besides the database...
That said, why do you want to bring over older databases? The new game is going to ship with a new database, fully updated (i.e. Possebon's going to be actually decent in this patch).
I want to know about the tactics engine, thats the important part of this game, the current version doesn't have enough flexibility
You've made Carrick captain haven't you?
It's been improved. Football Manager Live has been used to get some feedback on the match-engine and Football Manager 2009 is going to be based on Football Manager Live's match-engine.
From what I gather, a lot of stupid things have been fixed (i.e. wingers will now actually try and beat their man head-on if you give them correct instructions) and any instructions you give them will be "stronger" (i.e. telling a full-back to cross little and shoot from distance frequently will make the winger aggressively pursue cutting in and shooting from distance - a bit like Philipp Lahm - at the moment, the full-back will sort of get forward, move a bit narrow in and shoot when he's in the correct position).
Arrows are going to be removed (probably to stop cheat tactics like this one) - which is a bit of a shame, though, because I like using these arrows to encourage certain traits, such as Hargreaves and Anderson moving into wider positions occasionally.
The match-engine feedback from Football Manager Live has been constructive and mostly positive and considering most will end up in Football Manager 2009, I assume that's a good thing.
In my game, Rooney is England and Manchester United captain, so anything's possible.

Doesn't compare in terms of addictiveness.
Red Pavan I was waiting for you to reply. You are banned from all Caf Network games... you cheated in the 2008 game.
Oh god, not this again. I cheated?Red Pavan I was waiting for you to reply. You are banned from all Caf Network games... you cheated in the 2008 game.
You can't ban me anyway
I'm sure Jacob, Solius, RedDevil and others wont want you playing in the next Caf Network game. We all know you used cheatsOh god, not this again. I cheated?
You can't ban me anyway
Please don't get me started and i can prove to you who cheated, you have no evidence that i cheated, so don't bloody blame me for something you have no right to talk about
Go on then.. prove Jacob cheated??Please don't get me started and i can prove to you who cheated, you have no evidence that i cheated, so don't bloody blame me for something
But, i will need an Extreme FM player to support me and so that you caftards would understand the tools he used to cheat... It was all a bit silly really anyway on Jacob's behalf
Tommorow...
I am an "extreme FM" player ffs. I avoided relegation with Birmingham!
I avoided it with Derby.
I avoided it with Maidenhead.
This was in the Caf Network game against other pro FMers
Who cheated and how?
Pavan cheated. We were mid-season when he took over Villa, they were doing shit had no money etc he then somehow gets a massive budget and puts Villa in the top richest clubs. I think there was more aswell but it was a while ago so I cant remember exactly but thats the jist of it*
He then accused Jacob of cheating by changing player stats.

Cheating bastards, the lot of ya
Maybe this season I'll join the Network game. tbh last time I played an FM network game I cheated like a cnut, though that was years and years ago now

Maybe you missed a takeover. In my United game, Arsenal got a takeover. They were worth 3 billion.
I don't understand this. Does this mean that if I play a player in a cup game it will appear in their history, whereas before only league appearances would appear in their history?
I think it means if you don't pick say, Belgium as an active league, that any player you send on loan there will stay play the correct number of games for that league, instead of an arbitrary amount like it does at the moment.
No, say you run League A but don't run League B. Say there's a player in League B - that player's history will now be displayed properly.
