KHV Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hows the game now? Still buggy or is it pretty much sorted? the game is fine for me. people moan about the tactics but I like the fact you have to change. I learn 3 different systems each season and mix up my style of play each season. I tinker more than ranieri but it works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The game keeps referring to me as a tinkerer lol, i tend to change from game to game depending on the quality of opposition, easier opponents i will play a 4-3-1-2 and harder opponents i will go for a 4-1-3-2. Occasionally i throw a curveball and change my formation altogether! Playing as Crewe in my game, got a regen player who is only 18 but who my coaches say would be a good signing for most premier league teams, they also say he can still improve a lot so i'm hopeful i've got a real talent on my hands!

AVFCforever1991 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Crewe have a great youth academy, always producing 5 star regens in my save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have got another 5 star regen who is a striker, scored 30 goals in the Championship last season, needless to say the vultures are circling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was thinking of buying this as theres usually a new patch after the January window, thought buying it 2nd hand would be cheaper but people listing it on ebay are saying registration code has been used. What does this mean exactly? Is it only allowed to be used on one computer? I usually have 3 installs of it, one on my laptop at work for night shifts, one on my laptop upstairs and one on my desktop in the living room and what I usually do is carry the save game on a usb stick depending on which machine im using. So even if I buy it new I wouldnt be able to this right? I havent had the game since 2011 (may have been 10) but it didnt used to have a code im sure.

KHV Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I run it off steam. have done the last 3 seasons, it updates automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarjei Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I think you're able to set up steam on multiple computers. You just won't be able to be online with more than one at a time. You could do the same USB-routine with steam. It works the same way. You would need internet access on all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 OK so with steam it costs £30 and I can use it on multiple machines, but the disc version costs roughly £10 less but comes with a code and i can only use it on one computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 No, the code on the hard copy is your activation for Steam. You have to use Steam either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Downloaded the demo the weekend. Only played a few weeks on it but it doesn't seem to 'flow' as well as FM12. It just seems to have got more complicated over the years and there is too many different screens, things you can tweak, etc... and the layout, especially during the games, is difficult to navigate compared to previous years. Maybe I'll get used to it, but so far I'm thinking of sticking to 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm leeching goals, got 3-4 of my players closing the same player happening over and over again. Never had this problem in any other fm version the fm 2013. tried pretty much everything to avoid without any luck. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 what system do you play and what instructions do your defenders have? Playing with a deep 4-2-3-1. Central defenders on defending duty. An anchorman and defensive midfielder in front of them. Tried both a rigid system and a very rigid system. Yet my central defenders keep pulling out to close down a player all ready being closed down by wingbacks or defensive midfielders. I've instructed them to stand off more as well. I use closing down in opposition instruction on 1-3 players, I know they override the instructions all ready given but surly both of my central defenders shouldn't leave their position to close down a player all ready being closed down by my wingback or defensive midfielders?

Tomaszk Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My mate is in his 14th season with Fleetwood and keeps going between Champ and Prem. Even when he goes up he condedes about 80 goals, he just scores 160. He's got a Czech regen who he signed as a 15-year-old in League Two and treats him like his real life son Gets down if he plays badly and all sorts.

tarjei Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Playing with a deep 4-2-3-1. Central defenders on defending duty. An anchorman and defensive midfielder in front of them.

I was struggling too. Conceded more than 2 goals a game up until the january window of the first season. I think a lot of it has to do with the match engine, which will be updated but SI can't say when. A few pointers that will help out (It certainly changed my fortune): * In pre-season put match prep to 50% and choose Tactic Only and Team cohersion as focus. When the sesason starts or team has become fluid put it to 30% and Defensive Positioning. (last one make a huge difference in my opinion) * Use individual talks after matches to comment on performance. This will raise moral. Do it as much as you can, but be careful you are acurate in what you are saying to the players. * Make a rigid, counter attacking system to use when in the lead or playing diffiuclt away games. I made one, basically a 4-4-1-1 with two DMCs and two winger, one AMC and a CF, that has proven to be very effective. I think it's important to avoid using advanced wingers. This ME version favours crosses heavily, and often a AM R/L will not track the fullback which will lead to goals. Last season, before I made these changes, my away form was bad. 0-7-5. Villa Park was fortunatley a fortress, but I was still bottom half. I went on to finish 6th, only a point from CL-qualifing. This season so far it's 7-3-2 away and I'm 2nd in the league. * Consider using a targetman.. It's close to being an exploit in this version. I have Gabby as targetman and he has scored 25 goals in 26 games this season. Benteke is my 2nd choice for that role and has managed 22 in 27 (mostly cup and europa league though). Bent plays the poacher role and has 24 in 26 and his backup, Destro has 19 in 27. Scoring a lot of goals to put it mildly!

kurtsimonw Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Started unemployed and got the Inter job at the end of December. They were 14th in the League and I took them to 8th and the Italian Cup Final. After 15 games in charge (won 8, drew 5, lost 2) I was sacked! Worse yet is that they sacked me to bring Stuart Pearce in. Took the Udinese job and kept them up. Early in the 2nd season went to play Inter at the San Siro and won 1-0. Di Natale doesn't score many on this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
