At last all those annoying bugs and limitations in CM4 have been fixed! CM4 came in for some justified criticism, as it was barely beyond the status of a technology demonstration. In fairness, it did break new ground, but I found it largely unplayable. CM0304 is almost there! The match engine is more true to life, insofar as players now are less likely to do the completely bizarre (although my fullback did pass back to his goalkeeper from well inside the opposition half instead of crossing into the box ... he'll never play for me again). All sorts of improvements have been made, such as better implementation of training. It seems easier to sell players, which is good if you want to offload all those no-hopers in the reserves.
I would look for more detail improvements now. One example: if a club has set an asking price for a player, say £500,000, then I should be able to make an offer for that amount and have the club accept it rather than wanting to haggle with me. Often such details make for frustrating game play. Or if I've let it be know that a player is not for sale at any price, I don't want to see every manager south of the Alps enquiring about my asking price - d'oh! Score: 8Readers Review by Mac Gamer
