Dodgyknees Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Finally, a day off! Doing the relegation challenge with Villa, started off 11 points adrift at the beginning of Jan, but have pulled that back a little now. Great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 anyone else finding it's too easy to piss your players off during the teamtalks??... i'm only in the first pre-season matches and give it the old 'there's places up for grabs' and half the team switch off, the others get angered.... Even when they play well and you give them a little praise, the same result... it's pretty shit and spoiling it for me (that and the match engine doesn't quite replicate what you tell the team to do - ie, press their midfield and tackle hard only to see my players running backwards away from the opposition.... also, even when on 'overload' the defence (and midfield) seem to be quite happy punting the ball 50 yards back to the keeper...) Seriously considering cancelling my order. The Villa team is shit too! (No offence Andy!!!! You've done your job too well!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Don't forget it is just a beta and as such is not necessarily representative of the final product. Also SI are well known for tracing problems and fixing them even it the fix isn't instant. I think the data is pretty good this year, I'm please with how it has come out, all the right players seem to be in the right squads and other than Stephen Warnock, most of the players perform as they should do.

Dodgyknees Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah the defending is very off, crosses and closing down. Just had a very average player run the whole of the left side of the pitch, turn towards goal from the byline and then score from a very narrow angle.

Daniel Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Demo is out this weekend. Any idea what day mate? Alot of people saying different days. Do you also know if it will be a different build (newer/older) from the beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Every goal I leak is from a cross, it really is insane. Makes the beta unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Wow, the other issue is certainly the technical ability of the lower league players. Just one example is the amount of those in the lower leagues who can bend shots in from 25 yards out and further, I have seen 7 so far and have only played a few games (and watched a few). I am Eastleigh btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lp_villa830 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Not downloaded the beta yet, is it worth playing or should I hold on til demo or release day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not downloaded the beta yet, is it worth playing or should I hold on til demo or release day? I'd wait. The crossing thing kind of ruins it at the moment, I'm assuming that'll be sorted for the full release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 We’re pleased to announce the Football Manager 2013 Demo is now available to download via Steam. As with previous years, the demo will allow you to get half a season of Football Manager game-time in before it ends. Then, if the user wishes, that save game can eventually be loaded into the full retail version of FM13 and continued. For the first time ever, this year’s version contains a half season version of Football Manager and Football Manager Classic. The FM version allows you to choose one ‘quick start’ league to play, whilst FMC will allow you to choose three leagues to run from the start, exactly like you’ll find in the full game. As the demo is only available via Steam, you will need to have a Steam account to play. If you haven’t done this yet, you can do so here – http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Then, when Steam is installed and you’ve created an account, follow the instructions below: 1 – Launch Steam and sign into your account 2 – In the search bar, type Football Manager 2013 Demo (alternatively go directly to the game here - http://store.steampowered.com/app/207890/) 3 – On the right hand side, click the ‘DOWNLOAD DEMO’ button (you may need to scroll down to see this) 4 – Follow the instructions to complete the download 5 – Once downloaded, launch the game and it’ll install and load up. If you have any issues launching the game, please verify your game cache as shown in the link below: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...=1#post8165123 If you encounter any type of 'Virus' message when attempting to run the game, this is a false positive. There are no viruses within the FM.exe. We very much suggest adding the FM.exe to your exceptions list. This issue has been encountered when running Avira and Avast! We very much hope you enjoy our FM13 Demo, please feel free to leave feedback within our forum feedback thread found here – http://community.sigames.com/showthr...02#post8199602 Thanks. The Sports Interactive Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I downoaded the Beta then and I find myself really struggling with GUI on the full mode. It seems very cluttered and untidy,almost like there trying to put to much info on the screen at one time. Classic mode looks and has a better feel to it but loses to many features.
