    Would love to be able to sell my players.......

    I've got top quality players going for dirt cheap, or on loan where i cover 90% of wages and no one wants : /


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭louthguy25


    Id also like to give players a testimonial, Phil Bardsley has just retired from my Sunderland team and hes played over 300 games for me and has been at the club over 10 years. It would be a nice touch as all i could do is offer him a coaching job

    I've offered players for free before and not a single club in the entire game was interested. That definitely needs to be improved. I find it very hard to believe that no club would be interested in a player for free.

    Same with loan deals where I cover 100% of the wage and allow cup matches.

    There's two things this game really needs which I would love to see. The mechanics of the game are really good already and are constantly being improved, but what's missing?

    Atmosphere. Apart from the same press conference lines and news reports over and over, there is very little of the atmosphere around big games and cup matches to be found in the game. This could be fixed with better crowd sounds, things like chants and flags in the stands etc. Maybe some sort of Sky Sports style intro to the bigger games. Magazine and newspaper articles with more variety. I'm sure there are many other things that could be done too.

    Personality. It's impossible to get attached to players in the game, whether players at your club that you love, or players at other clubs that you hate. Same goes for managers and staff. Everybody has a few of the same rehashed statements they make, there's nothing unique about anybody. There should be a database of thousands of things that players and staff can say and feel that fit with their personality profile and mood, along with some sort of "player story" arc for each person. This would add a bit of character to the game and create a bit more immersion.

    As it stands, I have no problem chopping a player who has been at my club for years once he hits a rough patch, because I have no attachment to him as a character.

    I wonder will buy back clauses come into it as Barca seem to be putting them on every player they " sell " nowadays.

    It would be an interesting idea if you have a good young player that just cant find away into your squad and you put a buy back clause in place somewhere down the line.

    These are already in the game?

    Are they? :o

    Something I've missed so, I've seen the % of next sale and % of profit from next sale, never noticed the buy back clause.

    Would have been handy for a few transfers. :o

    They are. Whenever someone bids for a player I don't want to sell, instead of rejecting it and potentially annoying the player by refusing him the chance, I negotiate and ask for a huge fee and a tiny buy back fee. Shockingly, not a single team has been interested in my offer of £600,000,000 and a buy back fee of £1 :D

    Excellent. Definetly something I'm going to have to look into for FM13.

    Side story, could have done with it when I left a young re-gen go with Chelsea in 2016, 3 and a bit star, didnt think much of him, let go for 800K, 2 seasons later hes top scorer the last 2 seasons and worth 15 Million and his stats have sky rocketed. :(

    Lesson well and truly learned for the new game. :pac:

    The tax class for each country sounds like a good idea!

    I'd like the ability as well to call a press conference if i wish to slate the international friendlies, respond to speculation etc.

    And i don't like the current system that beacuse you manage say Man Utd then from the word go Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal & Chelsea managers all Hate you!!

    For some reason, my manager has an irrational hatred of Paul Dickov, even though I've never had any form of interaction with him! :confused:

    Wait, does this mean you can only play classic mode and challenge mode in the game? That would suck.

    Classic mode strips away some features and brings in an achievement system, making it easier basically.

    Challenge mode is something like you're given 6 months to improve the team, save the team etc.

    The normal mode was fine already.

    No, the normal "simulation mode" is still the main focus of the game.

    They have added classic mode and challenge mode to attract lapsed fans who no longer have time to play the full simulation as it has gotten more complex and time consuming.

    Hey everyone.

    This year I'm finally going to get back into FM. I was a big CM/FM player years ago. I used to play it way too much, like I'm sure everybody does. Anyway, I haven't played it in years and I'm really excited about getting back into it. Just a quick look here and I can see it has come a hell of a long way since I last played it.

    Looking forward to getting stuck in and chatting with you guys here about it. I'm sure I'll be looking for hints and tips very soon!!

    FM06 was the last one I played :eek:

    For those interested in FM 2013, a release date will be announced tomorrow:

    Link: https://twitter.com/milesSI/status/251264553063690241
    It's not just you who wants a release date for #FM13 it's SEGA too. Decision has to be made today, so will be announced tomorrow I expect.

    Also, they're going to have some sort of incentive to pre-order, which will also be announced tomorrow.

    Link: https://twitter.com/milesSI/status/251264848116199425
    This year we also have what I believe to be a brilliant pre-order incentive. Just finalising that, so will announce tomorrow too.

    Got it in an email from aid the boss

    I'm really debating whether to get it or not. I haven't won the CL with any team in FM12 yet!

    That's my quandary too. If I get new game I'll have to say goodbye to my existing team...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    Might give it a miss. FM12 hasn't grabbed my attention that much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,830 ✭✭✭✭dulpit

    has anyone pre ordered? have to say that this years edition seems like it will be the full package. Its got a better main game but theyve also got classic for when you get frustrated. Best of both worlds, and the options they seem to be giving now are getting really in depth and hopefully they will turn out as intended. Released in a months time so beta should be around 2/3 weeks time. Anybody confirm for me that the beta access is the preorder bonus they talked about or is there going to be something else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    I usually wait until around January before considering getting it. Not only does it tend to be cheaper, other people find all the glitches and have them reported so they should be sorted with a patch :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,296 ✭✭✭EdenHazard


    exactly!

    I got FM12 in April this year, probably played it more than the last two versions, which I got on release, played for 2-3 months, never to be played again! Its kind of become that game for me, hugely addictive for limited periods of time.

    ive heard it does but there is some uncertainty, Ive ordered a boxed one from amazon to be sure, they say it qualifies on the page.

    I think so

    i have tweeted asking sigames themselves, so ill guess we will see.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    In Australia at the moment and FM13 is a scandalous $80 (€65)!

    I reckon I'll be sticking with FM12 until I get back to a sane part of the world.

    Did you try looking on Amazon.com? They should be cheaper.

    I got it confirmed by the @footballmanager official account that the greenmangaming website is included in the pre-order beta offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,655 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    Reply from greenmangaming reagrding the pre-release beta
    We've now received confirmation that we will be able to offer the beta access to Football Manager 2013 to our users. We can also confirm the release date as November 2nd 2012.

    Beta access begins approximately 2 weeks before the above release date, and when it ticks over to the release date, your game will automatically update to the final release version. We've also heard that all game progress from the beta will be accessible in the final version!

    keys will be distributed nearer to the beta release and can be found under 'keys' on your GMG account.

    I don't understand why its branded as beta, is it actually testing? Surely its just a stripped down demo like before, no?

    There's no sign of it on Amazon yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

    On GamersGate where I got FM12 for mere pennies right after release, FM13 is $89.95! :rolleyes:

    I went on using a UK VPN and it defaulted to £stg using the code it goes down to £19.50 (€25 using Paypal). I submitted my address as Ireland and it didn't seem to matter, payment gone through.

    Doubt there will be a cheeper legit price this side of Christmas.
