football manager 2012 (release date is 21st oct)

i meant do i need to restart steam to get the update?

i guess

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

the update was the 27th. i already got that

did you d/l the game via steam or buy the dvd?

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'

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?

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

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.

it does your individual player instructions and your setpieces too. it really IS barcelona tactics.

if you dont like it or doesnt work great for you then you can scrap it.
have you started a new game as barca?

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.

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?

seems to!

are you gonna install the tactic to try? you really should. its terrific.

what is your steamname btw?

now finding this works even better. esp as messi and bojan swap positions with each other (no wonder gerrard was scoring so many)

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

my stream name is Sutrarama

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.

(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.

no-one iirc

that explains why its there then. That will make it more realistc teamsheet wise then

are we the only guys playing fm 2012 or is pandemic playing too? G needs to join us.

Feb 29th I come back from holiday and wonder where to get a job only to see that Jose had been sacked a week before! Real in 4th with a need for someone to sort them out? Shit yes.

boooooooooo

are you sacked yet?

as i lost my first game, at home, i presume its coming any day now.

ronnie in a huff yet?

this club is a fucking shambles. no coaches (maybe they left w/ jose.). conceded as many as the clubs around the relegation zones. morale is fucking low. the one player they bought in january was fucking fellaini.

lol ayew went to arsenal anyway without me being involved. some transfers are just so fucking obvious.

are you going to sign coaches?

well obviously. i've already p much got my first team coaching sorted, gonna look into sweet yut coaches now.

just take the arsenal ones?

it is march 26th and i still don't have my youth day - whats going on? do i have to ask my assistant to do it? because i want control, not someone else to be at it.

do you have it unticked under team policy?

wow may 27th 2014 wenger,ferguson and redknapp all retired. Mourinho wants man utd and arsenal jobs. poor spurs.

ok wtf there must be a bug in this game, mancini just resigned to take over at COLCHESTER.

loooool

i always thought that a manager shouldnt really be considered great if they can win everything w/ like utd or barca and should do the 'go through the leagues to win it' for true immortality. maybe mancini thinks the same.

also lol at me complaining up thread - it happened the day after.

they probably got taken over by some oil rich sugar daddy, but still. its even more ridiculous than the time fergie left utd for leeds in my 1st game.

my current game of fm10 has just seen alan shearer retire after 15 years at the helm of a still obscenely rich real madrid. Total trophies won in that 15 yr reign? 1 Spanish Cup!

you gonna update to fm12? you maybe can still d/l it from steam via discount vouchers for £26.

sam were all your trial youths shite then?

gonna hold off until 2013. i'm the kind of miser that wants at least 3 years out of my games. This thread is testing my willpower tho i admit.

as it should. i buy it every year and more than get my moneys worth, ie i play it until the new one comes out. But this year is the dogs bollocks. Esp now ive found out about the ingame editor and faces packs and the other things. And ive not even delved into fmrte yet.

i love seeing all the players managers and even coaches faces on the screen. it may not be essential to the game but fuck me it does enhance it. esp considering how quick and easy it is to do. i thought you would need to be a programmer/designer to do it, but no!

of course fm11 and fm10 have all the addons too for their versions if you dont upgrade.

i expect theres patches to have the correct teams in the correct divisions or you can use fmrte to change the teams in the division.
Apparently you can edit tables so you could put the game on holiday to todays date then with fmrte you can edit the league tables etc to the real life results as they stand now. tho it would be easier just to buy fm 12 tbh!

and just for you here are all the patches for fm10 - enjoy!

Very kind of you mate. I've never used any patches or stuff before. Which ones would you say are essential?

ones with player transfer updates. They usually have real league divisions too in them. obv you would be starting in 2009 but with 2011 line ups. But im sure if you are still using an old game you can handle the dates being wrong.

i assume you have the actual official game update first?

its the one for the game itself
