Cosmetically, the new skin is easy on the eye, but it’s still names and numbers. More significant is the introduction of FaceGen for all the regenerated players who appear as seasons progress.

Of course, the biggest change, and for many FM regulars worth the ticket price alone, is the fully updated, ever reliable, ever more comprehensive database of players, clubs and competitions from around the world. It is, as always, truly impressive and it - along with the equally excellent match engine - remain the rock-solid foundations on which FM 2008 is built.
