football manager 2012 (release date is 21st oct)

you may as well use fmrte then

are you staying up all night playing it?

You don't need steam fyi. But it helps with updates and stuff.

you do. they changed it so that to play the game you must use steam. there was a big controversy about it

well, it HAS to be activated through steam to be able to play it

Well, not the cracked version obv.

Also lol at the notion of playing it all night long. At one time I would've probably, but I don't have the time, energy or instigation to do so anymore.

Is this the first release since 2007 that isn't faster than its predecessor? Speed is about the same, whereas in the past they'd really work on the speed with every new release.

Making it possible to switch leagues on and off during the game is a godsend!

one piece of advice- not having messi shortlisted in december. if i see another 'messi to win ballon d'or, some dick comments on messi as the best' story i will throw my laptop out the window.

has jamie got his game yet?
G if you dont play all night im not sure you belong here , lol. Who doesnt play all night when they get the game at first on a weekend? Unless you have a family of course (ie jamie)

Yup, I've finally activated and downloaded it. I'm going to be Southampton to start off with.

Kerr, like I said I understand I'm the pariah here ;)

I downloaded that Barca tactic you posted K, but how do I load it? I put it in the tactics folder, but I can't seem to find how to load a tactic, they changed the UI.

you have signed the kerr family?

roberto carlos has a preference to "be a chairman somewhere in Euope" - bloody hell those dagistanis must pay well

regens. Spurs signed martin o'neill from hamilton. Then guess who took over from 'arry?

didnt know that was an option. used to be coach/scout etc

Its pretty much always ex players who take over teams anyway in previous games.

what team did you go G?

PSV, always start with that to get acquainted to a new release. But I'm looking for a nice English team in the lowest playable league to bring success, money and titles etc

use the patch to start in the non league then!

Nah, I'm looking for the lowest active Northwest Yorkshire team tbh. Any ideas?

bound to be in the non league then!

if the game actually came packaged with that from the start i bet noodle vague would totally do it

actually i dont believe G.. i know he played it all night and just isnt admitting it as he wants to pretend hes 'cool'

there's probably a secret invite only elite De Subjectivisten online league where they all pm each other talking shit about us

The LOL English Premiership is the top division.

Ned will be there though because ned is everywhere

Ned just won that league shhhhht Kerr don't rat him out!

ok i have just spent about £30m on u17s

WHO????

i cant fucking get into my game. problem with steam. bastard steam

Castilla is essentially the worlds best youth team now.

Effing hell I've never seen my inbox so cluttered with agents offering useless Brazilians that are on a free with an asking price of bloody millions. Fuck that shit tbh

Lol Kerr, that's why you should go with a cracked version WITHOUT steam lol

nah it was peerblock that was blocking it

G have you installed fmrte?

Yup, how can one go without ;)

i had a funny feeling a pirate like you would have it.

i found some sort of user guide http://web.archive.org/web/20110703081909/http://www.fmrte.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=909

Player Match Exercise Cheat:
This is probably the biggest cheat possible for FMRTE, as it will grantee goals and that means certain victory. You can do this on as many players as you like it will work 100% of the time.This is best to do the day of a match, what you need to do is go to the player's information screen in FMRTE and at the bottom there is the details bar.

Select the players match exercise:

Change it to 32700 or 29634.

Save it then go back to the game and play your match, Ignore the players fitness as it will show something like 39%. That doesn't matter you will score lots of goals

Does that work?

dunno but that just makes the game pointless. woohoo i won 12-0 again, this game is so realistic and i am so good at it!

xp No idea, I don't tinker about with it that often. But I'll try to see what happens

what have you used it for?

apparently the match fitness cheat only works when your about to go to kick off

Tried it, didn't do nowt, sounds like bollocks to me

it says once youre about to kick off you change your players match fitness to 29634 and it should work

Tried it once but it didn't do anything. Besides I'm not down with trickery like that anyway, like a hoy hoy said

Ok, tried it again. Leading 0-14 at half-time. No fun. Don't know why they even build in these things.

lol 14-0??????

Yeah. Apparently, entering that number you posted in the match fitness box, nearly every touch becomes a goal

hahaha . handy to know that if theres ever a team i cant beat i could use that.

wonder why match fitness would make such a difference

what is it like watching that on the 3d engine? do they just shoot from wherever they get the ball?

It doesn't, it's just a stupid thing the programmers put in to use as a cheat. And I keep asking why they would do that in the first place and have it "leak" like this. Seems silly to me.

xp I never watch 3d. Classic 2d all the way for me tbh

if players get the ball in their own half take on 7 players and chip the keeper for a wonder goal i will totally try it!
