Play have it for 37.50 with a free USB flash drive

edgecutter · 27-09-2011 6:17pm

I for one want to see players leave clubs more often. Many of the best players remain at their club until they retire without transferring to another club, Van Persie would be an example of this.

Mr Velo · 28-09-2011 12:24pm

CDWow have it for €28.99 with free delivery.

I've pre-ordered it from that site.

I've never bought a game online so fingers crossed there is no problems.

I've bought plenty from CD WoW. Realiable. Thumbs up

Possibly a silly question but will the game be delivered to your door on the 28th? I would buy it through CCD Wow if that was the case. Otherwise i'll take the day off work and get it good and early from the shop.

I dunno to be honest! I was wondering that myself but it doesn't bother me as long as I'm not waiting a whole week...

But if it is in the shops here on the 28th you can get it then. Ordering it, if it doesnt arrive on the 28th, will mean the following Monday at earliest delivery, no? Think i'l just walk to the shop

raglinroad · 06-10-2011 4:16pm

Demo out right now! Just released today!!!

October 21st release date

:D:D

Dempsey · 06-10-2011 5:03pm

Cant see the demo on Steam yet

I wasn't impressed one bit with the releases of the previous 2 versions but I'll probably end up buying this on steam like a crack addict clucking for a hit come the release date

raglinroad · 06-10-2011 5:08pm

There's a delay in getting them synched across servers, so I'm told.

Should be up shortly, I hope. I'll let you know if I hear anything

Yakult · 06-10-2011 5:11pm

Looking forward to this now, still a bit meh as to whether I''ll be buying this release day or not. Might wait a while to see how it goes and if all is good I'll get it!

raglinroad · 06-10-2011 5:13pm

Feedback on SI forums from people so far have been positive. Then again it's only been an hour. Looking forward to it myself. There goes my weekend, there goes my job.

raglinroad · 06-10-2011 5:15pm

Some people say this works

copy this to your Run command

steam://install/71280#

busyliving · 06-10-2011 5:46pm

Anyone know how long the Demo will run for....Like half a season or a full season?

V9 · 06-10-2011 6:22pm

Half a season.

markesmith · 06-10-2011 7:04pm

Downloading now, cheers raglinroad!

Keeps unexpectedly quitting on me when launching.

That wouldnt fill anyone with confidence!

You sure that you meet all the specifications? You have a look at the SI forums to see if your problem is a common one?

2011 worked for me on the demo and I still play 2010 regularly. I always feel it's a game of luck when it comes to games and Mac's. I've been updating my system so I hope that works.

EDIT: Nope.

This is what I am met with.

Oh and I have uninstalled 2011 from Steam and I never ran 2010 on Steam...

I dont have a Mac so I cant really help but if you browse/post in this thread

You'll see if your issue is common and the demo release is at fault, which is likely with SI, or you can post and the SI's QA guys will give you a proper solution to the problem.

I've FM09/10/11 installed through steam on a PC and I've no issues or conflicts between them.

I posted the screenshot to their facebook page and I think my graphics/video card isn't enough.

Hopefully an update will do the job...

Mars Bar · 06-10-2011 11:43pm

It seems unless SI figure out a way to make the game work on Mac OS X 10.5, I'll have to pay an additional €30 to upgrade my laptop to play it. :mad:

Although, it might be a blessing in disguise. It's never had a proper update in the 3 years I've had it!

raglinroad · 07-10-2011 9:46am

Have you tried updating your graphics card driver?

raglinroad · 07-10-2011 9:49am

Only got a chance to play it last night for an hour.

First impressions were good. Once again, it will take me a few weeks to get used to the UI. But it all looks good and some neat little touches added.

What's everyone elses first impressions?

Sgt Pepper 64 · 07-10-2011 10:49am

Any 3/4 month injurys happen in the first 5 mins of a game?

Gonzovision · 07-10-2011 11:01am

Will only get to play it tonight, does it include large db this year?

I've only played a little bit, the new UI is brilliant, on the players profile in particular. There is a lot more detail and information available...Also some of the new contract options, such as "release anything" and the "pay as you play deals/Amt contracts" are savage additions.

But the biggest feature, isn't available yet, as its a demo, but the add and remove leagues will be a big thing and will make long term games a lot better

Only played a handful of games, only one 3 week injury so far

On the demo? no chance, preset quick starts is all they have

I only had about a 10 minute look around, looks grand. I couldnt be arsed playing 6 months of a quick start league though, the sense of dissatisfaction is too much :pac:

I do remember the FM11 demo being all nice and shiny but I also remember being immeasurably frustrated when it was released because I ran into so many bugs trying to play the game.

I've been on the official forums and there seems to be no real bugs found, just a few goals being scored from corner(well...higher than average that is)

I wouldnt expect to find many if any in the demo releases

I dunno, wouldn't know how to do that!

There's nothing about graphics updates in the software updates. I hate doing those updates coz I have to do them standalone as the laptop always freezes on restart.

Gonzovision · 07-10-2011 8:04pm

Really liking the player info screens, loads of useful info in one place, also the comparison screens are great.

Yakult · 09-10-2011 2:25am

After having a quick gander around the demo, it's not bad.
Like the UI, looks very smooth! I'm not 100% on the new player profile, some great ideas but I think it could have been executed better. Maybe it just needs time to become easier on the eyes.
Over-all, not too shabby. No doubt we will still get out moneys worth from this game!

Dempsey · 09-10-2011 12:27pm

Thats one thing that you will get with FM, value for money, steam users can see the amount of hours they have clocked up playing the game. I'm too embarrassed to say what my total is!

:eek::pac:

spirit_77 · 09-10-2011 4:33pm

Demo taking ages to download:mad: Can't wait to buy the game hopefully no bugs

BeanFlicker · 09-10-2011 6:24pm

Its safe to say that my evenings will be taken over by FM12. Had a few games and the UI is fantastic, **** load of detail, and very handy to navigate around, loving the tactics set up and transfers, huge step up from FM11.

So far no negatives and the game just oozes class, can't wait to get stuck into it

Zapp Brannigan · 09-10-2011 6:42pm

Spent ages downloading the demo and then it won't even load up on my Mac. I don't even get the application opening up, just nothing.

Hoorah.

Same here. Don't bother ordering the game or buying it. If your graphics card isn't good enough than it's tough tits for us.

I have it ordered and can't seem to delete my order on CDWOW.

busyliving · 09-10-2011 9:34pm

To the guys on Mac's...

There is a problem running the game on certain versions of different OS's apparently...

What OS's/Version are ye running

Also, can you post a screenshot of the error message your getting?

My screen shot is on the previous page.

Even on 10.6 and 10.7 this is happening, it appears to be how old your machine is and the graphics card specs.

These are my specs:

Intel GMA X3100:

Chipset Model: GMA X3100
Type: Display
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 144 MB
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

Can I ask how old your Mac is? I've a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 edition.

A lot of the problems are occurring on Mac that are under spec and also the same can be said for a few of the PC issues

I don't know how many hours I've clocked on FM11, not as much as Fm10 I know that which is at 1112 hours from April to October :pac: I'd say about 500 hours 600 max!

Zapp Brannigan · 10-10-2011 2:44am

I'm on 10.7.1 and I don't even get an error message. I have a GT330m card in the machine as well so it's not a specs thing. It just won't even load up the app.

Giggsy11 · 10-10-2011 7:42am

I expected FM 12 to be better than FM 11, but tbh never expected that game engine will be 100X better than the previous versions. Game is just class.
