Downloaded the beta today and it seems to have most of the features of the full game ... Just wondering is it worth paying the extra money for the full version ? or just wait for next year's game?

You only get 1 season in the demo. Hang on a few weeks until the steam summer sale it will be going cheap, you'll get it at least half price

Ordered this on Monday

Here does anyone with a retina 15 inch macbook who moved there saves over from there old macbook. Have a problem with now heaving a 2D match over a 3D match ?.

The game as rates my GPU as worse then my old one. Considering i am now running duel GPUs LoL. A 750M should have no problem playing the game in 3D as on my 3 year old macbook i had a built in Intel card and that was running it no problems at all

I play with 2 advanced wingers, but during games they keep automatically getting switched - one is naturally left only and the other is naturally right only, so when my game switches them automatically during a game, they're completely out of position

Any ideas?

Check your team instructions, you must have clicked allow wide players to swap

Only bought this with the steam sale, played through one season with United, as I normally do when I first get the game, brought in Matuidi for £1million + Evra, sold Rafael to Real Madrid for £45million! How could I say no to that? Was a January sale, and he kept getting sent off in big games (3 in a row!) and didnt like me disciplining him for that so he had to go. Sold Michael Carrick for £5.5million, Hernandez for £23million and Valencia for £32.5million, oh yeah, and Vidic for £10million (he was going to leave on a free, Id rather then cash and play Smalling/Jones)

Had a very healthy budget then, in addition to Matuidi I signed Shaw, Sandro, Ramsey, Santon and brought in Lucas Ocampos on loan, would like to make it permanent but Monaco not really wanting to sell so not sure yet, I signed Will Hughes from Derby but loaned him back straight away for the season as he would not be getting a look in really and his development would be better served where he was. I also added Stephen Liechsteiner in January for a small fee, about £5million iirc

Outlay was around £100million, maybe a small bit more

Played 3 different formations over the year, they were all fairly interchangeable too, the main one was a 4231 with a variation of Kagawa (who bossed it) Mata, Januzaj and Rooney normally, operating behind RVP and a midfield pairing of Sandro and Ramsey behind them, Shaw was excellent all year at left back, and Santon was great as he provided a very good option at either side of the defence, Liechsteiner was a very solid right back for me, DDG was outstanding all year, 20 clean sheets in the league

Jones was the stand out centre half and was partnered by either Evans or Smalling, sometimes Rio.

Other formations were the xmass tree 4321 with Mata and Kagawa operating behind the striker and a very solid midfield usually of Sandro, Fellaini/Matuidi, Ramsey

The Barca style 433 was the other, with a DM, 2 CM's, and wingers (Ocampos and Nani, but could have been Mata/Rooney/Kagawa/Januzaj/Welbeck)

Found it easy enough going for the most part, City pushed hard for the league but I ended up coming away winners by 7 points, best defence in the league and best attack, RVP with 31 league goals and 17 assists, outstanding contribution all year from him, who I made my captain when I sold Vidic.

Obviously Steve Round got the boot as soon as I took over and I hired Tassoti to be my assistant, very good knowledge of the game. I had a poor showing in the domestic cups in fairness, going out in the semi of the league cup and the sixth round of the FA cup.

Some big development of players on loan which will give me some things to think about over the off season, Buttner had a really good spell with Ajax, Zaha was brilliant for Cardiff, instrumental in them surviving, Lindegaard was keeper of the year in the Championship with Forest who he got promoted with, Bebe was a tank in Portugal Henriquez was brilliant as was Powell and Will Hughes had a very good season also.

The big one, I was unreal int he Champions League, defensively the best team in it, and hammered the likes of Dortmund, Juventus and Barcelona on the way to a final with Real Madrid, that was a tense affair but I squeaked it with a second half penalty from RVP to win it 2-1

Great season and as I said, I found it pretty easy going, so I may be starting one of my journeyman saves quicker then I thought!

Edit: Just to say, the combination of Kagawa, Mata and Januzaj playing different roles behind the striker was the most effective one over the season, some fantastic football played by them
