im on a laptop so it took me ages to work out how to print screen when i got it last year.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
So do I get this straight: do I need to install a shedload of add-ons and patches for this to become playable?
Why can't they include all this stuff and let you tick boxes? Idgi. I'd like to play the 2012 version but it's such a hassle to do all of this.

btw i use it as 'windowed' if that makes any difference
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
yeah to get the stuff we're discussing here you need add-ons but its dead easy to do. get them here http://www.fmscout.com/c-files12.html
if sam and i can do it so can you. its well worth it. im enjoying it even more. it just looks so much better. Why didnt anyone tell me before that there was an in game editor to do all this?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
I know I can do it, I just think I can't be bothered. Is it so hard to release this game with all of this, or most of this, included? It's not like the game comes on 40 3.5" floppy's.
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
you really dont need add-ons. they are alright but dont in any way effect the game. unless you are kerr.
i hate backgrounds. they make the game slower and esp w/ ones like yours, the colours make it hard to see certain things.

repost for you G
here are the ones i got and say are essential Grab them all.
http://www.multiupload.com/3V5RWAGFQ7 d/l it really quickly via megaupload and about to install it
You don't need to search the internet any further. AT FMFormation we have the perfect solution for you. The always expanding FMF Exclusive logos contain more than 10,000 club, nation and competition logos from all around the globe to add the extra something in to your game.
Last Year our megapack had 4000 logos, this year it has 10,863 logos and we are still working.
How to Install After the download just extract the file to the following file: "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012" Once you have done that go to your preferences tab and untick the ''Skin Cache'' box and tick the ''always reload skin'' box, then confirm.
create a graphics folder in "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012" ie "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012/graphics "then extract to there then do the skin cache stuff and bingo.
2) real kits download both http://www.fmscout.com/c-kits12.html instructions on the page or copy them toWin Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics\kits\Win 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics\kits\
if kits and graphics dont exist create them.
3) http://www.fmscout.com/i-1387-FM12-Susie-Real-Names-for-Clubs-Competitions-and-Awards-Fix---BETA.html
Extract the files and save them to this folder: Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2012\data\db\1200\lnc (actually go in via program files/steam etc. its different to where the 1st 2 apps listed above.follow the instructions on the page carefully. 1 & 2 before you get this one.
once you have them all
Run Football Manager 2012 and go to: Preferences > Display and SoundMake sure that you tick the check box on the page called 'Always Reload Skin on Confirm' and un-tick then box saying 'Use Skin Cache'. Hit Confirm.There should be a box that pops up saying 'loading image data for the new skin'. Once this is done your graphics should be working within the game.
easy! (it must be, i did it, and im computer illiterate)

Training http://www.fmscout.com/c-training12.html <---- looks very useful.

other database stuff http://www.fmscout.com/c-data12.html
other skins http://www.fmscout.com/c-skins12.html apparently these can be customised so that it will contain all the info you want on 1 page rather than clicking thru stuff but i dont know how difficult that will be to use. Probably beyond me.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker,
oh cool http://www.fmscout.com/a-fm12-stadium-backgrounds.html has just been released
oh holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!! i downloaded the barca tactic and fuck me its absolutely amazing. I had 80% posession. Messi (yeah i signed him for £100m) runs riot dribbling round everyone,the passes are superfast and movement is amazing and im tanning teams 7-0. Sam you NEED to get http://www.fmscout.com/a-barcelona-style-in-fm-2012.html
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
yeah none of that is essential, it is just fm-nerd shit and you can ignore kerr.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I've always played without extra kits/logos/player photos/backgrounds etc.
been reading this thread both with interest and a deep underlying fear that I am on the cusp of diving into this yet again and wasting three months of time... :-/
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Kerr please, that's just not healthy anymore, it's overload
the pictures package that was 4gb that we spoke about earlier is great btw but id get the ones i posted above first
but honestly, theyre great! if you get them you wont regret it.
Sam theres other skins optimized for these backgrounds. Just not tried them yet. Game isnt any slower either

that looks horrible imo.
first four games of the season 3-1L v. Spurs, 5-0W v. Leicester, 3-3D which had to be save from going 3-1 down v. Pompy, 0-0 draw v. Newcastle.
Deserve to be fired if this continues.Got the players and the tactics to suit them, they are just aren't listening to them.

Phil Jones and Wellbeck in midfield? What madman is running Utd in your universe AG?
― pandemic, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:05 (twelve years ago) link
sir fergie! there was injuries i assume.
got rid of the stadium things because it was hard to read. everything else i installed works great
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
fuck this, i am resigning. fucking cunts fucking won't listen to tactics fucking fuck them. losing 1-0 to lever at home because they won't fucking close down a man who is running at them, or the guy standing in the box absolutely free for him to pass to. this has happened like 5 fucking times, of course they scored from it. fuck them fuck them fuck them.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
10 fucks, kudos :)
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
Does Balotelli play with fireworks in the new version too, or do I have to download a patch for that?
oh thank fuck the first major update. knew there was a reason why today would be the day i start again. ok must remember to pay attention in march. wonder if i can use trial days to steal other teams trial players.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:45 (twelve years ago) link
an update?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
Sports Interactive have a habit of releasing the game before they sort the 4000 bugs and usually release an update the week it comes out. Dunno, steam automatically had a big update, so I presume its that.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
ahh. that means i will need to quit the game then restart to get the update? let me know the differences.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:00 (twelve years ago) link
add pfunkboy1973 to your steam friends. let me know who you are obviously hehe
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
oh apparently f12 does ingame screenshots if thats of use to you sam
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:05 (twelve years ago) link
you don't need to start again w/ updates, or at least you didn't need to last two seasons.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
i meant do i need to restart steam to get the update?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
i guess
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
i restarted my laptop a window did come up for a second saying steam was updating but thats it. doesnt look like the games any different and it didnt say fm12 had been updated. dont think the version # has changed
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
the update was the 27th. i already got thathttp://www.footballmanager.com/news/5440
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
did you d/l the game via steam or buy the dvd?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
bought it like a normal person
hey kerr in yr barca tactic, under player instructions how are players passing stats shown? i've just cut almost everyone down to at least 'short'
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
let me do a screenshot, i was actually just looking at them!
i bought it via steam so maybe we got priority for the update 4 days ago?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 19:59 (twelve years ago) link
http://i41.tinypic.com/ws1tky.jpg
or do you mean all the player instructions? each one is different. i can take a screenshot of then and email it in a zip for you if you want

http://i44.tinypic.com/fxtlz7.jpg
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
tbh why dont you just download the actual tactic and use it?http://www.fmscout.com/a-barcelona-style-in-fm-2012.html
you can have 3 tactics so install it and decide if you want to use it as your starting or not.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
it does your individual player instructions and your setpieces too. it really IS barcelona tactics.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:09 (twelve years ago) link
if you dont like it or doesnt work great for you then you can scrap it.have you started a new game as barca?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
can anyone tell me how to do the schedules in training? apparently that makes a big difference when done properly
i d/l and installed from http://www.fmscout.com/c-training12.html
i imported as it said. but i cant see where i can actually implement the schedules as 0 players are down as using it,theyre all still on the default ones.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
i did but it doesn't feel right. they are too good to manage. its like im using cheat codes.
high line you have there - sure it works for the likes of kelly and johnson?
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
seems to!
are you gonna install the tactic to try? you really should. its terrific.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
what is your steamname btw?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
now finding this works even better. esp as messi and bojan swap positions with each other (no wonder gerrard was scoring so many)http://i41.tinypic.com/5eu3ys.jpg
also could play suarez in where bojan and downing or bale on left. its quite good to have so many options. Was well worth retraining bojan to an amc.
also lol at fm12 advert at halftime of arsenal game

i'm gonna have to figure out a team to manage. Thinking maybe do Arsenal again but turn off first window transfers, go on holiday till Jan and then start.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
(before i think about tactics.)
oh yeah i shoulda known that as its your lastfm name
if you turn off first transfer windows does that mean noone signs players or just you?
i kinda like that idea myself of holidaying til jan. might do that next time i start a new game.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
no-one iirc
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
that explains why its there then. That will make it more realistc teamsheet wise then
