AndyClarke Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Where have you got that information from? Villa should be a good challenge from day one, I have tried to replicate the current wage/transfer circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Right, I'm gonna download the new game tonight and start a Villa game. Been a while since I've played FM but the current state of the club has made me want to spring into action and sort out our squad, wage bill and finances. Everyone will be available for transfer except the youth academy graduates (Gabby, Bannan, Clark, Gardner, Weimann, Herd, Delfouneso, Baker, Albrighton etc...) Might be a turbulent 1st season but as long as I survive relegation I'll count that as a win and build on it. Any recommended players on free/cheap to pursue?

AndyClarke Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wait until the patch is out to start your Villa game, current situation is better represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Might just start a quick one then and get used to the interface / menus / tactics etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Tried to stop Randy chucking a load of money at you and make you either sell/free or run down the contracts of 2 or 3 hight earners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a VillaTalk forum in the game where you'll get castigated no matter what you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Don't know what exactly you're saying but I was just wondering not having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Don't know what exactly you're saying but I was just wondering not having a go. You've lost me mate. You asked what had been changed, so I've given you a brief outline, there are of course a whole host of changes to players some that people will like others that they may not!! Not sure what you think I've said that would make you think that I thought (bit of a tongue twister) you were having a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think he was probably on about keefa.. Patch probably out soon then I guess if you've made changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah I was on about Keefa, not you Andy. Cheers. Doesn't really matter to me anyway. My first game every year is Villa, then I do different ones after that, and I've already done my Villa one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh right, no worries. I think he was just suggesting that no Villa manager can do anything right and gets hammered on VT regardless, so that should be in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefa3011 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah, I was Andy, no offence was meant to you Rhys Anyway, I've just started a game as Penley in the Welsh National League Divison 2 (Wrexham Area). It's my first ever game with edited leagues, so I hope it's going to be okay! The level 14 database in England doesn't appear to work, but someone is hoping to upload a database that goes down to level 11 tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, I suck at this game. Unbeaten until late October and in 4th place with Villa. 14th place in January, with only one or two goals scored in 3 months, losing every game by at least 3 goals. Sacked. Laptop out of window. Sulk. Girlfriend laughs at me. I don't remember much after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ^^^ More than any previous edition, games on FM12 do seem to have a tendency to turn completely on their head for no apparent reason. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Rhys and Joe, I will be on tonight for FM if you're around. Quick update, we have 9/10 games left. Table is: 1st West Ham (Joe) 73pts 2nd Boro (Rhys) 68pts 5th Blackpool (Tom) 61pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulk. Girlfriend laughs at me. I don't remember much after that. XD It can be a bitch of a game. How hard is it to sell players at the start? I'm really struggling to offload some high earners so I can get my wage bill down. Managed to get rid of Dunne for 2.5m but I still have to pay him 20k a week as he wouldn't move otherwise. Beye got sold for 250k, luckily no wage contributions there, but thats it. Still waiting on someone to make a move for Petrov (3m) and Ireland (3.5m) but no-one has offered owt yet. Heskey is a non mover even at 200k. Might offer him a mutual termination. Debating sticking Bent up for sale but I can't see anyone offering anything above 15m for him, even that if I'm lucky.

It's solid! Did Blackburn buy Beye by any chance? I've started three Villa games since I've had it and they've bought him everytime. I've always just had to wait for Heskey's contract to run down. He just won't budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
