I got mine from Game in Eldon Sq for £1.99. It's the 2003 version, the 05 version is still selling full price, but is apparently a huge improvement. They're bringing '07 out at the end of the year, I assume when the season starts, so maybe as soon as September.

I must add, it was initially on the "3 for £15" stand and I bought it as one of those, but then the lass said it was the wrong price, so I took it anyway and nabbed Black & White as part of the deal instead.

It all sounds completely barmy to me, where do I get a cheep copy then? It's really easy to pick-up to be honest - especially for anyone who has played CM0304 (which it most resembles interface wise). The tactics and games themselves are a doddle to work out. The multisquad/reserve system is just like Real Madrid +B, C, D and the selling/buying system is really pretty fun. Throw in a seasons worth of 82 games and players who average a point a game (and expect to concede at least 2 a game) and you have a completely different experience to CM's "2-1, 1-0, 1-1" range of scores. 6-4's, 5-1's abound! S'great when you're winning I must say - hell on earth when you can't fathom out why you're losing. Morale/form seems to have an ungodly effect on performance so a good start is essential. I await EHM2007 as I refused to buy the 2005 version given that they didn't know if/when the league would be back.

I might take a look in Game, next time I venture into Bootle centre then. The last time I saw it there, I think it was going for £5.99 or 2 for £10. As I know nowt about Ice Hockey I decided I wasn't going to shell out that much on the off-chance it would be any good. [/cheapskate]

My fault, Pops, but I thought we were allowed to talk about games in this thread.

Tied a breeze block to his penis because he thought it would attract a better class of lady. We've all been there, we know. Hnar. One has to live up to one's status as a curmudgeon. Although I admit, I did think that was a kind of duck.

Pops is just bitter because he supports only the 3rd best club in Scotland. 'Best' is such a subjective word. I would say Hibs were third best at the moment. Three qvotes in a row- do I win a prize to be stolen and then found under a topiary exhibition by a small terrier with an amusing name?

I have to side with Pops on this one, as much as it pains me. Anything to do with Ice Sticks should be tucked away into a sizeable chest with holes bored in it and chucked into the ocean, never to be seen again.
I mean, really, does anyone need a sport that is played all the bloody time? No. No they don't.

Hockey is for fat people who want an excuse to keep really oversized shirts in the market. It ain't easy buying oversize when you're portly, and some people here could accomodate quite a bit of shipping.

I play hockey. Or at least I used to, until balls and knees sorted themselves out and I ended up with a side cruciate injury. Though, I am talking about grass hockey, the one sport where you can legally swing a stick and if someone gets in teh way after you hit the bal or they come in on the back stick sidel, it's their fault :cab:

They play hockey on grass now? Isn't that a bit girly?
Or are you used to the grass stains now. Poof!

I still maintain it was your fault. You never told me that there was a bit of grass there. Or two cats.

The girls play harder than the guys, plus they are much better to watch too as they play better. Thank God for unlimited interchange too, as it gives us time to sharpen our skates.

He was playing Astra hockey. Close, Astro hockey, with guns that shoot out our arses and boots that have rockets in them.
