*****Ultimate Football Manager 11*****

Just bought and installed from Steam. 3 questions:

1. Should I install any updates.
2. What team & league do you recommend for first game? I haven't played FM in ages!
3. Any obvious tips?
 
Hmm good idea, though the only thing that annoys me with clubs outside the top four is that everyone tries to steal your players. And in the case of Arsenal you constantly get Real Madrid trying to buy Fabregas. -_-

never happens to me...............
 
What a season. Won everything basically.

EPL
CL
FA Cup
League Cup
Community Shield
Euro Cup

Edson broke the average rating again. What a beast.

Want to repeat the season and add the Club World Cup. After that, I will retire or play as a national team.
 
Okay started another new season going to try diff stuff this time!, Sold allot of my older crappier players This window brought in Henderson,Lee-Chung-Yong,Niko Krancjar.. I did get Christian Rodriguez but in Jan and he got injured so i will hopefully be able to give him his proper season.

But i need a back up to Glen Johnson at RB as i only have him and Kelly who can cover but he is not naturally a RB so makes it difficult at times. So i contacted Sunderland for Kyle Walker but they will only let him go for 17m is he worth it? He is 23 so i guess as he is young he may improve over time? Need some FM Pro`s advise please
 
Started again as Arsenal. Mid way through the season and I'm out of the Champions League, but still in the FA Cup, Carling Cup and currently first in the league. I went unbeaten for a while but eventually lost a league game. I'll post my team and stats at the end of my first season hopefully I'll guide the team to the league title as well.

The board gave me a ridiculous amount of money in the autumn and my transfer budget is now £65,000,000 but the only signings I've made have been Hazard for £13,500,000 and Thiago from Barcelona for just under £4,000,000. Almunia and Diaby have been sold and Denilson will be offloaded in the next window. I'm looking to bring in another defensive midfield as I'm currently rotating between Song and Frimpong who has been very solid. Wilshere is coming along excellently and often outperforms Fabregas, van Persie has been slightly disappointing so I was considering switching him from complete forward to poacher.

I need to sign a few more coaches and get rid of a couple of the poorly rated ones though it's probably best to wait until the end of the season when some players may retire. I've got my eye on bringing in Pirlo as a coach and possibly Henry if he is open to the idea. I'll post some screens at the end of the season.
 
Started a game as Swansea doing ok so far.

Played 6 games so far and I have won 5 of them and drawed 1. Two of the games where in the cup. :)
 
People still playing? I've set myself a managerial challenge of people want to play along with me.

You need to load as many nations and leagues as you can, I can't remember mine off the top of my head, on my phone in work right now but I think I've got, Brazil, Belgium, Germany, Holland, England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Greece, Russia. Maybe one of two more.

You start unemployed as Semi-pro experience. You'll probably get offered a job at some bottom league Portuagese side. Now for the challenge... Every time you are offered a new job you have to accept it. If you are sacked from a job the first job you get offered or the first from an application you have to take (if you are sacked you can not apply to top flight teams).

The idea is to get yourself offered a job at a top flight team of what ever European League which you accept. With that team your aim is to do the double, win the league and CL. Once you have done that you resign or apply to vacant / insecure job at a top flight club in a different country. I think resigning straight after will probably be easiest to get a job at a different club else where.

So for example, I manage a couple of seasons and get offered the job at QPR who are in the PL, I have to win both the PL and CL in one season with them. Now that I've done that I quit and apply for the vacant manager job at Valencia.

The overall aim is to gain a double in every EU nation you have available with different teams.

I know it seems long and weird, but I think constant changes of club in different nations it will be exciting and when you finally get a top flight job it'll be a challenge especially if its a weak team.
 
That is one amazing challenge! Definitely going to give it a go over the weekend! Need to jam on Brazil and Argentina there too, gets the best new players coming out the game... Edit im a tit and didnt read you already had Brazil so stick the Ukraine and Mexico on :)

Just need to win everything as cafc at some point (should be done this season) then time to start all over :)

Also so everyone knows MURRAY SUCKS! :p

Think I am going to try that I am not sure I will be able to load all those leagues withought it running a little slow though I will check. :)

Who is Murry? :p

Ninja Edit -.-
 
This is a long shot but does anyone play this on a Mac? I'd like to play with the game in windowed mode but unfortunately the bottom of the window is underneath the dock. Usually you resize a window by dragging the bottom corner but the bottom corner is hidden off the screen and I can't get to it. Any ideas?

I do, depends what resolution you start it up in, I think there is an option to put it at 1024x768 as you windowed size in preferences, then you can press the green button to make it fill the screen but not full screen :)

My game :p


I got offered :

Andorinha - Portugal 2nd Divison North
Canical - Portugal 2nd Divison north
Serra - Portugal 2nd division central
Saturn - Russian Football Championship(top divison)

If I take the Saturn job do I need to win the league and europe with them?

Cheers I'll try 1024x768. I'm currently on 1280x800 but I ticked windowed mode which hides the bottom. :D

EDIT: Still cuts a huge chunk off. :( ****ing thing. :mad:

Just so you know I've no idea how good the game works at offering you new jobs. :p I've had a few in previous seasons but that's when I've been a PL club for the start etc. For example if you're the manager of a 2nd division Portuguese side, I don't know if the AI will offer you a job if there is one going in the French Leige 1 for example if you have a good record. :p


I got the Canical job, was offered another at Serra as well but chose that one. lol Murray, but how on earth did you get offered that one?! But yes your aim will be them until you win the league and CL in the same season, and then you can resign and go else where.

It's sort of like the ultimate manager journeyman career.


19th December for me, currently 2nd in the league, pld 14, won 9, drawn 3, lost 2. The leaders Maritimo B have not lost a game yet. :( I went 2-0 up against them as well and drawn 2-2 earlier in the season.
