Is it worth buying lads? I have FM10 and that got boring pretty fast. Have they done anything with the press conferences and made any decent changes to the game?

Always worth buying every year!

3D system is updated

More player interaction. I told a player he was surplus to requirement and he mad me feel like crap so I apologized.
Yeah, I'm a weak manager

Now there are agents, annoying bastards and demanding payoffs. Hate them! Little more then leeches.

I tried out the version that got leaked. Dragged Sheffield Wednesday to the Premiership with some astute free agent signings. The club is broke

The difference in TV money and prize money between the Premiership and Championship is astounding. If you're not in the Premiership you're nowhere!
You can say the same about money between the UEFA Cup (forget the new name?) and Champions League. Make it to CL and watch the money roll in
Gonna pick the game in Gamestop tomorrow

So does that mean that the files people upload on file hosting websites and the likes work on a mac too? Most of them say "Platform: PC"?

Anyone finding a bit easy? I remember last year struggling to get promotion, but now I have shot straight up to league 2 from BSS and am sitting in the play-off places again after 15 games. Seriously I spent 3 seasons in league 2 last time barely surviving the 1st. All I have signed is frees.

I know, I know!

I don't have the money at the moment but wanna play it (despite my head telling me not too as college will suffer). I'll get it for Christmas if it's all good!

I usually play a similar game when i get a new version. Start in the bottom league in england and work my way up. It usually takes a few years to get a decent squad together and then you start to make progress. Your experience sounds a bit off. Maybe your having a lucky run. Of course striking it lucky with a formation is always a key to doing well in the game.

Going to pick up a copy next week.

Could be a stupid question, but I've never done it before.

How simple is it to download real crests/facepacks/logos etc? Like is it just a matter of downloading and saving to a folder? A lot of links I've found seem to be "torrents" and I'm not entirely sure how they work.

Shamrock Rvs v Inter - 2015 Champions League Group F.

Some strange things happened at the World Cup also..

Think I'll start a real game now.

Stuff like that used to happen in FM09 as well:

Shamrock Rvs vs. Liverpool, Europa League 4th Qual: (I think)
http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/80802475-4.jpg

Liverpool won 4 nil or something in the return leg :pac:

Basel vs. Bohemians Champions League 3rd Qual:
http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/80813336-4.jpg

Basel won 3 - 2 in Dalymount then if I remember correctly.

Yep it's simple. Most of the downloads need to be opened in winrar though and then you just extract the files to the graphics folder for everything. Easy enough anyways.

Hardest part was actually downloading them lol too much traffic and poor download host.

When you go into the training section and click on the coaches tab,there's a button there "auto assign",it'll give each coach one or two schedules then.

kronsington · 07-11-2010 3:31pm

how do you change how your squad is presented?

mikemac · 07-11-2010 3:49pm

Don't quite follow, what do you mean by presented?

Tactics?

Does anyone know how I can change the squad view from the FM2011 one back to the one I used all the time in FM2010.
I've checked the ''views'' tab, that's where you changed it in 2010 but I can't find the option. I'll be disappointed if it's gone. I prefer it side by side.

what oatsey said. can u get it side by side anymore????

SantryRed · 07-11-2010 5:38pm

Right lads.

I downloaded the kits from here: http://sortitoutsi.net/forum/topic/37278-ss091011-kits-requests/

I then extracted the files to a kits folder I made. I have the skin cache turned off. Any reason why they aren't working? Does it have to be a new game I start?

No I don't think it has to be a new game. Is your kits folder created inside a graphics folder? I dunno would that be the reason but give it a go.

did you tick "always reload skin on confirm"

Gonzovision · 07-11-2010 9:10pm

Did you reload skin?

MrStuffins · 07-11-2010 10:46pm

Kicked it off with a game as Man Utd for a seaon just to get used to the new features (as i do when starting the new game every year.)

Those bloody agents, a pain in the bloody hole! And the enhanced player interaction? Players can be such little girls.

Loving these new features, especially the agents, and others.

ShaneU · 07-11-2010 11:16pm

The agents are all fictional right?

SantryRed · 07-11-2010 11:40pm

I ticked the reload skins one there lads. Still no hope. I have the kits in four different folders in the graphics folder which I created. Could it be that?

I'm sure there's a disclaimer somewhere

There should only be 3 folders, logos, kits and faces.

Always reload skin should be ticked and use skin cache should be unticked.

Mitch Connor · 08-11-2010 12:00am

getting seriously pissed off with the amount of chances my team wastes.

Have a load of 1-0 victories where I have had near 20 shots. Really getting on my nerves.
