Ahhh, Nani wants to come back to Man U already. I sent him on a season long loan (he requested a transfer) to Bayer Leverkusen and now he wants to be taken off the transfer list! :)

Also, Allardyce has been fired from Bolton and Shearer has come. Funny how some of the things in this game come true in real life.
 
Just started a new game with Sheffield Wednesday :)

SI Released a data edit for the things they missed :D

Can find a link easily from their forums / patch notes page, managed to get it working :)

Yay! How is L1 working out for you?? Still havnt done my saints game (think im holding out for Burton in the prem of the update for CHAPLOW)

Do a Saints game!!

Loving mine, straight into the Prem with two promotions on the trot :)
League cup first year, and then won the Europa league off that whilst in the Championship :)

No cheating in any way other than scouting, had some great youngsters!
Average age of the squad is rather 23, and I have two 35 year olds plus Owen leaving at the end of this season too.

The way the monthly fees work is a little suspect though, budget of around 40m at the start of this season, yet have managed to spend 100m with only 10.5m of sales...
 
Just started as Ipswich Town, 1.5m transfer budget. Need to strengthen the squad, so any recommendations for good, but cheap players?
 
My eyes are hurting, I've played this all day from 10 this morning until 8:30 this evening, I managed to drag myself away from it for a couple of hours but it wants me to go back and play it. When I close my eyes all I can see is the damn white boxes with the text inside, if I switch it to the dark skin it's even worse on my eyes!

Oh the humanity. :(
 
Right, just getting started with this game. Been busy with work and too tired afterwards. :p

Do any of the peeps managing Man Utd get rid of any players in the current squad either because of age or to raise funds for improved replacements?

Bahahahaha. :D
 
Leigh Griffiths from Dundee great striker.

Just too good! Had him in the demo I think... Cant wait for some money at Burton to get him...

Hahahaha! Its weird the voice I read "Do a Saints game" Im holding off till my mate gives up on his game (hes at the team you cant type on the net as they come up as a swear after dragging oxford out l2) or till the update for CHAPLOW!

L1 is so easy its silly, just a good run is all thats needed along with a few good free players. Setting your self up in le champ and the prem is much harder (though if you still get mental transfer budgets from cortase cant complain) :cool:

What decent transfers have you got? And did you hang on to our brest prospect since Bale/Walcott of chamberlain and lallana?

Managed to convince Thorgon Hazard and Lukaku to join in the first year (48 monthly payments :P ), and apart from that it was just loans, frees, and some very small transfer fees.

Lallana went to Stoke for 4m in January of my first premiership season, he just wasn't cutting it at AMC against such good opposition, and I don't play any wide players so he was getting played out of position.
Chamberlain went at the same time for 700k to Everton, he just wasn't quite premiership quality.

I make a big thing about only paying fees for young players, all older players come in on frees.
Had Owen, Beckham, Hargreaves, Gago, all on free transfers, was great!
Sold a few of them for a profit too :P
Took in a guy called Smolarek on a free last year, then signed some people better than him afterwards, paid him a months wages, he went out on a fully paid loan all year, then sold him for 825k!

Bought out by a tycoon just as this season ended, have 100m+ to spend now...
All I have thought of buying so far is Akinfeev :(
Really need a top top striker to play with Neymar.
 
About to press the buy button and I've never be so scared in my whole life.

£20 seems like a good deal. Don't think it'll be any cheaper on steam anytime soon.. not even during the sales.

Should I be scared? I haven't really really really played a footie management games since champ man 2001.

Just how much of a football mind do you need for this or is it easy to pick up and have fun? Do changing tactics and what not really make a difference or is the AI too dumb to do what I ask?

Just get it and kiss goodbye to your life. It's fairly easy to pick up, you don't have to know a great deal and tactics make a massive difference. If you don't know much about football you can always listen to your assistants or just copy real life tactics. You'll love it.
 
Installing now. Going to play as United and going to try and buy Eto'o or Gomez from Bayern Munich. Will also need a few midfielders.

Question, does Nani dive as much in this as he does in real life?

:D

I'm not sure if they dive in this, but Ihave had yellow cards for stuff outside of my control. Song mouthed off at the ref after van Persie was caught offside and he got a yellow card. :(

One thing you might want to look at doing is downloading some of the packs which add the real badges and logos into the game. I'm using one from FM2010 so I can't quite remember where I got it from sorry but I think they were mentioned a page or two back. As it stands there are some leagues with the proper badges and kits and some without, all the real players are in the game though. Just Google FM2011 megapack.
 
Was just going to ask what packs to get. I've read people talking about these logo packs and what not.

Are these the ones I need?

Yep any of the logo packs will do. I've just got normal ones from 2010 but the ones you've linked there are fine. Personally I haven't bothered downloading player faces and stuff as it's just a waste of bandwidth.
 
Leigh Griffiths from Dundee great striker.
Indeed. Bought him for Saints in the new year transfer window and he was great although he went through a quiet spell in March. Won the league (just about after a poor last 6 games) and now I'm after some decent signings for The Championship.
