Game San Marino gue di FM 2008 udah gue hentikan. Gue nunggu edisi FM berikutnya, yaitu FM 2009, keluar bulan November nanti. Sayang jg sih coz itu udah gue anggep sebagai sebuah tantangan yg berat banget: mimpin San Marino dari C2 ke atas untuk menjadi sebuah klub yg dikenal dunia.

Buat kamerad2 gue yg udah jadi fans beratnya FM, FM 2009 keluar akhir November ini. c Alfonso bilang: “bah … lama amat!”. Sebenernya biasanya FM keluar Oktober. Tp taon ini beda coz qta punya edisi baru yg luar biasa: FML, singkatan dari Football Manager Live.

Sesuai namanya, ini game dimaenin secara online. Server2 dibuat di Inggris dan di game ini u bisa bertanding dengan orang2 dari seluruh penjuru dunia. Gue beruntung bisa jadi seorang tester yg ngetes game dengan gratis. Sejauh ini gue udah bertanding dengan manager2 dari Inngris sampe Hong Kong dan dari Denmark sampe Turki. Kalah menang sih buat gue kg masalah. Yg penting gimana rasanya “beneran” bertanding dengan real people di universe yg udah lama banget exist.

Gue kg bakal ceritain gimana gamenya, gimana cara ini itu, gimana X, gimana Z, coz u udah bisa klik link yg di atas buat ngeliat screenshots-nya ‘ndiri. Gue ‘ndiri udah nge-post beberapa screenshots dari game gue sebagai comments buet beberapa rekan gue.

Game ini kg dijual dalam bentuk CD / DVD / BlueRay Disc / disket / ato benda mati laennya yg bisa u beli di toko game (ato di pinggir jalan buat yg lebih suka bajakan). u mesti register di website-nya dan bayar. Harganya sekitar €90 - €100 per taon. Meski bisa milih option 6 bulan dan 3 bulan. Basically u mesti punya PayPal buat transfer duit. Entah apa sebabnya (legal reasons, business-development reasons, atau kg termasuk dalam negara2 yg bisa melakukan pembayaran lewat PayPal) Indonesia termasuk negara yg masuk banned countries. Jadi … yah … buat rekan2 gue yg di Indonesia harap sabar aja. Ato u jg bisa kirim e-mail ke FML Support Team buat ngatur pembayaran.

Buat yg tertarik … selamat bermain!
