So its only half a season?
If I recall it was a full season in fm10 wasnt it?
That sucks

Cant wait til its downloaded tho :P

Agents are mo fo's!

I'm with Southampton and had an offer for Brian Murphy(ex Bohs, now Ipswich keeper) accepted for 250k, freakin agent wants 205k just for his part in the deal, got him down to 100k, but thats a 5th of my transfer budget!!

Started with Accrington Stanley for the craic, just beat Covs in a friendly 2-0.

I feel I'm not going to be half as sympathetic towards footballers when I get into the game fully!

I started with Southend United. 0 budget.

When the real thing comes out, I'll start properly with a different team as I managed Southend United in FM10 too. Looking for something different!

Actually, we will be able to load our FM10 into FM11?

Afraid not!!

Nope its always been till Jan, makes sense, I get bored so easily if they gave you the entire first season then loads of people wouldnt need to buy the game just restart once they've finished the season.

With 6 months if your doing well it makes you want to keep it going and see how you finish, much more likely to purchase the full game then!!

yimrsg · 22-10-2010 10:23am

Any one else getting a load of penalties. In one friendly I had 3 then another one there was 5 with chelsea.

I like the replays where they show if your player was offside or not, had a stinker of a decision against me where I scored from a corner and they gave it offside despite having two players on the line!

Yeah I got two in one match and both were saved.

Dempsey · 22-10-2010 1:10pm

I've come across a few bugs already, do SI actually have beta testers or do they just rely on the community for bug feedback. Some bugs are so obvious

PerrinV2 · 22-10-2010 1:32pm

Anywhere to download the demo apart from steam??

I love lambasting the FA/referee when that happens! Better when the FA don't wave the banstick too!

Gonzovision · 22-10-2010 5:51pm

It's great having spouts with other managers. My dislike list could be a lot more than five.

Really enjoying it so far. Improvements in nearly all areas I think. Once the bugs are ironed out it will be fantastic. I've put 12 hours into it so far and am nearing the end of the demo.

On a side note I won't be starting with Fleetwood this year as they are in BSN and they have money :eek:. Start with a bigger budget than I had with them in League 1. Time to find some poor BSN/BSS team.

antomorro-sei · 22-10-2010 6:36pm

Whens the full game gonna be released lads?

Cheers. Not so long, won't have to play the demo for too long

Gonzovision · 22-10-2010 10:43pm

I just hope there is a dark skin on release

Yeah, I'm sure there will be anyway.

Horrible looking, this demo one is.

If not, you'll get some fairly quickly on fm-base.co.uk anyway. Does be some nice ones on it.

Gonzovision · 22-10-2010 11:41pm

As I remember last years default one was pretty bad too. Complete eye sore. Surely they realise when designing the game that it looks horrible. Browsing the sigames forums and it seems to be the biggest issue. Luckily it's only a small matter.

I think this will be my favourite iteration so far and I can't wait to see how dynamic league rep works out. Think I will start in the Irish First Division this time as Fleetwood are far too good :P

They've said there will be a dark skin released with the first patch, which will be released on the same day the games out

Yakult · 23-10-2010 12:19am

Played it finally for a few hours!
Pretty impressed with the new features. Makes the game that bit more real which is always a plus! I got kinda bored of FM10 due to Fifa (And reading these new feature on 11) but glad to say this has enough to bring me back into it big time. Cant wait to get the full version!

p.s Forgot how horrible it is to play without the logos/player pictures.

paddy_joe · 23-10-2010 8:04pm

Have demo downloaded and any time i try to play it i got a message saying"The Game is currently unavailable, please try again at another time"

Anybody any ideas on this?

Pat

Dempsey · 23-10-2010 8:08pm

Restart Steam?

paddy_joe · 23-10-2010 8:12pm

Tried that and restarting laptop. still no joy.

Try logging out of steam and relogging in

I'm having no issues starting up the demo

Do you have any firewall apps or peerblock running?

paddy_joe · 23-10-2010 9:13pm

i have avast running. thats all i think?

I'm stumped so. Sorry!

Maybe go onto the steam website and look their FAQ/Help section, could be an answer there

pablomakaveli · 25-10-2010 12:48am

Hmmm. I was thinking about downloading the demo but given that the Irish teams are unavailable in the demo and downloading it would eat up a sizeable amount of my download allowance i might just wait til the game is release.

I have my hands full with fallout new vegas right now anyway.

Jonah42 · 26-10-2010 10:07pm

Anyone know how to stop your team getting complacement against teams of a lower repuatation? It keeps coming up in the backroom advice but I'm not sure what to do

Paul Tergat · 30-10-2010 12:26am

Should this be preordered you reckon or better just to go down to the shop on the day?

Mars Bar · 30-10-2010 12:34am

Is anyone else hitting the woodwork a ridiculous amount of times? It's like having a team of Kenwyne Jones just taking shot after shot...

Nope, I don't plan on *buying* it, if ya catch my drift.

I've got a couple of youngsters on FM10 that I want to see how far they get so it'll be a Christmas before I properly get into FM11.

Dempsey · 30-10-2010 12:52am

p_larkin99 wrote: »

I have and I havent played the demo properly because of the limitations of the quick starts.

Delighted with the following:

Dynamic League Reputation
Training System much improved
Transfer System much more realistic
Player interaction done better
Board interaction improved

Hopefully the full game can handle lots of leagues and long career games and not become a mess

Anyone playing the old sega games they give you for doing so?

Super Thunder Blade & Golden Axe take me back to a blissful childhood!!

mikemac · 30-10-2010 12:57am

I told a player he showed poor form in the last game and he made me feel terrible for saying it, he was upset.
Look, I'm sorry

Great game. Will preorder

Took Sheffield Wednesday to the top on League 1, no great achievement you say.

There are some good free agents for League level.

Danny ****tu
Michael Ball
Seamus Coleman on loan from Everton is good
Nile Ranger from Newcastle bangs in the goals!
Darius Vassell is ok, Aliadiere, ex Arsenel player is good also

Jay DeMerit, ex Watford brilliant, made him my captain. One of the best players in the league

When you pre order FM11 on steam they give you 20 old sega megadrive games free.

Golden Axe, the memories flooded back when I played it

That's what I love about this game, the fact that they can pull at your heart strings!

I don't play with wide players, I like my 4 1 2 1 2 so I was getting rid of a few of the players and it didn't go down well at all.

mikemac · 30-10-2010 1:23am

I'm 4-4-2.

Two wingers and two holding midfielders. I want solid defensive centre midfielders, not playmakers.
Andy Reid won't be signed by my team

Target man up front partnered with a pacy striker.

I'm all about the width, direct passing and attacking from the wings

The Volt · 30-10-2010 2:19pm

Haha, Danny ****tu. The player who's name is never seen on internet forums :pac:

No issue with Scunthorpe on boards.ie I see

Was just testing it

Yakult · 31-10-2010 4:14am

5 days

only played a few hours with the demo as Im not wasting my time. Just fine tuned the settings and new features so I can jump straight on in when its out.

mikemac · 31-10-2010 12:53pm

Great that it works on a mac.

Can't wait

Sheffield Wednesday are going to be in Premiership in no time!
Peterborough and Brighton are my main rivals for League 1

I'm know all the best free agents though

Well I have to the club are broke

LanceStorm · 31-10-2010 3:10pm

has to be the best pre-order option surely :

http://game.gamesplanet.com/buy-download-pc-games/Football-Manager-2011-2073-34.html

digital download, works out a little over 30quid compared to Steam charging 50quid!! plus you get both Sega Megadrive games packs!!

kronsington · 31-10-2010 3:25pm

Hi guys,

Im not new to the game, been a fan for many years but i am new to the patches and have never used them before- can someone tell me how you use them/ how does it work etc? is it fairly straightforward- you can pm me if you want

thanks

Gonzovision · 31-10-2010 3:28pm

Simply download the patch and double click on the .exe and it will do the rest. As far as I know FM 2011 is steam only so it will do all the patching for you automatically.

Gonzovision · 31-10-2010 11:32pm

Game has been leaked. Unfortunately it won't be released early for those of us who have pre-ordered.

Gay, im only gonna be tempted now :pac:

Btw, has anyone experienced the demo just randomly crashing? In the past 2 hours it has happened twice and no save as its random as hell.

mikemac · 01-11-2010 1:39am

Running it on a mac, never crashed

Just my experience
