Thought it was for 4.99 on steam, no ?

That was during the steam sale. Finished ages ago.

Just won the 2021 Champions league for Liverpool in Istanbul, same stadium too. In Istanbul, we won it 8 times!

Do you need to have a different football manager 2012 for mac compared to a PC?

IPad version of this is a little bit odd, no Kelly or Spearing on it which I found odd. Got 44 million from Barcelona and 20 for Agger from them as well which enabled me pretty much to get a whole new team. Cavani and Subotic and Montolivo were all great and Carroll is a complete beast on this game!

I love the Ipad version. FM has become way too complicated for me.

Jay Spearing knocks me out of the FA Cup with Leicester last season. Daniel Sturridge scores a hat-trick to derail my title charge with Leicester this.

Fucking ex-players and Leicester.

How do I have players train certain moves in this game?

I want one of my players to run with the ball less and look to pass more often.

BIGdavalad · « **Reply #5768 on:** August 7, 2012, 06:36:20 AM »

Look on their training screen, in the top left corner you'll see what training schedule they're on and stuff like that. One of the boxes there is 'individual training'.

Go to the player's profile, click the drop down menu for interaction in the upper right corner, select start preferred move training, select a coach to do the training...

Noticed that they always sign Dempsey on mine aswell, crazy.

Dempsey always goes to Inter on mine, and Liverpool always sign Gaitan from Benfica.

Thanks for that, just searched Gaitan, needed a winger and hes pretty good.

I am in a bit of a fix.

Started a new game with Aachen, 2. Bundesliga team. And till 4th game, played with a 4-1-3-2 and won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. And then, set individual training to CBs, FBs, DMs, CMs, AMs, Wingers and Strikers and segregated my 30 first team players accordingly. Signed three decent first team coaches. One for attacking (att-16), one for defending (def-17) and one for goalkeeper (gk - 18). In addition to them, there is a good physio a very good fitness coach.

After this, the form was pretty much relegation. Drew 3, lost 7 and won 2 in the next games. And the worst part is, the workload slider sits close to the upper medium, the players are happy with the training and none of them are playing out of position.

I have looked around if I am doing something wrong here. But I cant seem to find any. Can anyone help me as to what I should do?

Buildup of injuries is stupid. Basically had to play my first XI in a 4th round LC game. Sterling's now played 3 games in a week and I've never made him do that before.

Need these injuries to clear up sharpish.

'Mondzz' · « **Reply #5778 on:** August 7, 2012, 03:03:14 PM »

Anyone else ever groundshared on here before? In my Fleetwood town game my stadiums getting expanded and is closed for 9 months so we are ground sharing Bloomfield Road with Blackpool.

Never seen this happen on FM before.

Sometimes it gets so inane I remove their injuries through FMRTE. There's no reason my world class fitness and medical staff should have 8 first team players injured for a quarter of the season. I mean, come fucking on..

Cheers everyone who answered my question above. Couldn't figure where the buttons were. Sorted though

Has there been any word on what new features will be in FM13? I feel like usually by this time of the year they've already announced some of the new features for the next game.

Anyone have a link for FM12 for mac that they would like to PM me?

I can only seem to find those who work on Win32..

I've been managing loads of small nations recently. It is actually quite fun. Managed to get Benin and Kenya into the AFCON before going out in the group stages and got to the semi final of it with Burkina Faso. A 90th minute own goal got an equaliser for Ivory Coast then they won in ET. Was heartbreaking. Close to qualifying with Uganda now to.

BigMarcs · « **Reply #5784 on:** August 8, 2012, 06:04:48 AM »

Illicic is a good signing for mid table teams, he comes relatively cheap for his quality and can belt some long rangers.

Not really. But I removed everyone and put them on the general training again, they worked wonders again.

Leandro Damiao is a bit good on this, first season with Liverpool and I'm just coming up to January, 22 apps, 45 goals and 10 assists so far...

Haven't played FM for two months due to getting a new job, finally got time to play and Steam wouldn't update

I got some stupid error. I now have to uninstall steam, which means uninstalling FM. After I do all this I have to install everything back again. I officially hate steam.
Rant over

Anyone else having trouble with youth players potential ability dropping all of a sudden? Start of the season Suso's potential was 3.5 stars and he's played 27 games so far this year (13 starts) and scored 9 goals in all comps yet his potential has dropped to 3 stars. Id have though it should go up if anything? Ive not played him as an am though which he was predicted a 3.5 in, could that be it? I think his potential has drop 0.5 for every position though! Dont want it to happen to Sterling and Joel Valencia.

Shinie · « **Reply #5789 on:** August 8, 2012, 11:12:28 PM »

It's the end of 2d season with Liverpool and Premier League has changed a lot. SAF got the sack at the end of the season. Wenger and Redknapp both retired. Owen went to manage Sunderland and Phil Neville is in charge of Fulham, because Jol went to Arsenal. I don't think I've ever seen something like that...

I think it rates them compared to the other players at your club, so if you've improved your squad he might have gone slightly down in comparison because of that (I could be wrong though).

after 8 months of having the game, I've finally installed and started playing it.

Bought Sven Bender and James Rodriguez, sold Maxi. Doing alright, one of 3 teams on 33 points at the moment, 2nd on goal difference. Spurs pissing it on 39. after 14 games.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #5793 on:** August 11, 2012, 02:45:45 AM »

Campeone! and FA Cup winners too. Not bad for my first season.

Scraped it in the end though, couldn't string 2 wins together in my last 10 league games and lost 3 of them. I see this game is just like previous ones with a season following the usual order:

Start slowish with a few draws, go on a mad run where you can't stop winning (13 league wins on the bounce and 15 in all comps), then get to the end of the season where you get injury after injury, Suarez gets sent off and suspended and you can't buy 2 wins in a row.

Can anyone recommend a decent CM? Looking to replace Henderson, who's partnering Lucas in a midfield 2 of a 4-2-3-1. Hamsik, who I would have gone for has just gone to City. Looking at Kwadho Asamoah, although he's now at AC Milan, or Ramsey/Wilshere. Any pointers? Looking at more of a sitting/recycling type player than attacking as my front 4 is Neymar - Suarez - Hulk behind Damiao.

mickdelick · « **Reply #5795 on:** August 11, 2012, 11:46:40 AM »

92 points with Liverpool in my first season and still didn't win the league.....AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH

Maxi was a beast though 15 goals and 18 assists. Won players player of the year.

Won the fa cup but now starts the difficult job of improving an already good side on a limited budget. Suggestions welcome....

Gk - Reina/Doni
RB - Johnson/Kelly
CB - Agger/Coates
CB - Skrtel/ Carra
LB - Enrique/Robinson
MCL - Oscar/Henderson
MCR - Lucas/Romulo
AMR - Maxi/Sterling
AMC - Gerrard/Shelvey
AML - Downing/Sterling
ST - Suarez/Rondon

voodoo ray · « **Reply #5796 on:** August 11, 2012, 01:13:19 PM »

^ harsh that considering I won it with 87.

They generously gave me £41M as a budget too. Added to that by flogging Kuyt for £10M to spurs, Cole for £3.6 and Bellamy for £1.9, but can't get anyone to buy Carroll though. Bought in Douglas Costa, Kara, Saviola and Bocchetti. Yes I'm using genie scout, no I don't care if anyone thinks that's cheating.

and I've got the GB job for the Olympics too!

Caston · « **Reply #5797 on:** August 11, 2012, 02:03:47 PM »

Erm so last game of the season and I have Man U at home. Table looks like this:

1. Man u 93
2. Liverpool 92

Win the game 4-1 and pip the fuckers to the title! Also won the FA cup.

Leandro Damiao - 50 apps, 96 goals and 24 Assists
