How did you not notice his icon go red when you put him in the line-up?

I have no idea :lol:

Are they doing the whole 'online activation opens on the 21st' thing again?

On FM 2011 I was playing a Intrem Club match (Arsenal v Arsenal Reserves) and in the last 5 minutes a Reserves player got injured and the goalkeeper (Sean Mcdermott) came on at Midfield and scored a goal from nearly half way.. It was one of the best FM 2011 moments :D

:lol: :lol: :lol:


Also: Arsenal vs Arsenal reserves was the first televised game I think.

I have Tomas Necid getting Av Rating of 8.01 two years running but mainly because he is my main striker in a champions league winning Ajax team so has lots of easy games in Eredivisie

Currently pre-loading FM12.

Preloaded it earlier.

I shall resist temptation to call in sick.

Started a save with Marseille. Pretty good start to the season after giving up a 2-0 lead against Lille in the French Super Cup and losing 3-2.

Best Sochaux 4-1 and then Auxerre 8-2 away :lol:

Just got it, about to start downloading!

Took me 6 minutes to download :cool:

Started with Sydney. Sold Maekela, McFlynn, Moriyasu and Bruno for a combined total of $1,600,000, let Necevski go for free, then brought in Bouzanis, a dutch left winger, a Brazilian defensive mid and forward.
Emerton and the Brazilian defensive mid got injured a week out from the start of the season. So I put Bosschaart at dm where he has thrived. 4 man of the matches in 7 games, which included 6 assists and 4 goals. He scored a cracking goal from 35m out in the 4th match against Heart and decided he liked scoring so much he got a hattrick in the next game against the Gold Coast.

I'm starting unemployed, the true way to start.

Computer Performance: 1 1/2
Game speed: 1
:cool: Fine for me!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! Just realised that because me and my brother share the same steam account (to avoid paying for 2 copies of games) I can't play if he's logged onto steam and visa-versa :evil: :evil: :evil: Stupid STEAM & FM!! This was fine last year until they added this stupid system! :evil:

That looks like a reason why they have introduced the system.

Probably, but I also realised that Steam is just needed for activation. When I want the updates I'll just log on. Otherwise if I'm not I just can't get achievements which I don't really care about. It just has a screen on the desktop saying please log in.

Anyway got Wrexham:)

Oh Stephane Mbia you beautiful man. 4 games 6 goals from CB :lol:

Just starting up a game myself but I doubt I'll play it much tonight, tired as is and I have to work later :( Hanging out for Sunday when I can have a proper crack at it.

:lol: Mbia can't stop scoring. 9 goals in 9 in all competitions and 8 goals in 7 in the league and has scored in all but 2 of the league games :lol:

Created my usual little 'fantasy' a-league (not as in depth as last year, this one is just deleting the broken A-League and replacing it with a 4 tier league.

However for some reason my fourth tier (which I usually want teams to promote into without actually being playable) is playable.

42 teams.

:lol:

It also broke Singapore for some reason.

Back to good old LLaMa-ing.


Season 1: Portstewart FC, Northern Ireland Second Division, 2011-2012.

Funny you guys mention LMA manager.
I got bored and picked up playing the 2005 version on the old x-box. I got a bit stale playing FM and because you can make your own team from scratch and choose your own stadium i did that with LMA from the conference.
It's been good fun and i've gone to league 1 in 3 seasons which isnt too bad with not a heap of money.

The stadium building tool in that was great. You could have one side of the ground massive, completely modern, and the rest just old school:lol:

Raging at Liverpool's miserly 2m budget. Where the FUCK am I meant to sign a striker for that kind of money from?

Morale is fucking stupid. I went on a good unbeaten run to start the season, every fucking match half my team are at poor morale. Then one match, my half time team talk at 0-0 at home to Everton resulted in half the team being "angered" and us losing when we let Timmy run 30 yards without a challenge and score.

I find I always have a CB that goes through form like this and then they suddenly stop and never score again. :lol:

Has Steam actually taken the FM12 Demo down now that the full release is out? Because that's pretty bullshit if so.

What is with FM11 calculation for world player of the year. Necid for me has had a higher rating than Messi last 3 years and in the last two has had both higher goals and assists. While we play in Eredisie we won 6 trophies last season including knocking out Barcelona in Champions league.
