***** Official Football Manager 13 Thread *****

Yeah had that happen to me earlier, are you playing the demo or do you have the beta? wondering if they've fixed it in the beta already?
 
Im playing the beta, just had the worst one yet, off the bar into the keepers arms, he then turned and throws the ball into the net xD. No idea who he was trying to pass to.
 
I finished my first season, managed to win the league despite only getting 73 points. Chelsea sneaked into the champions league with only 55 points. Tottenham did well finishing 3rd two points off me, then the next season they went mad spending £78 million, including £40 million in vidal.
 
keepers being beaten too often by 'flukes' - the number of shots from the wing that have scored after hitting the post and then bouncing off the keeper/defending ruining the game
 
Well have worked out a fun challenge for new FM (after a long car journey back from football yesterday).

This season we are making Baulkland alter-egos and trying to win lots of tiny leagues in the former Yugoslavia, then take our power across Europe! (in some sort of weird eastern european domination). Should be fun as England isn't fun till later in the game...

Oh and they ****ing better sort out the cross it at the keeper = goal bug, nauseating how much it happens with little or no balance or keeper interaction.

What? I'm up for any challenge.

Can't seem to find motivation to start a proper game knowing I won't continue it on the full game. I need my 'no scouting needed' option, and many nations available.

Basically we are making our manager names into made up relatives of mad people to do with the history of Yugoslavia then taking teams like Red Star Belgrade as far as we can go, though I am modding it a little to take smaller teams far.

General aim is to be the king of Yugoslavia and win all the in game leagues in the area before we can go to clubs we like/leagues that are fun later in the game. This means a league win in Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia to start with, but after winning those got to near by (and just as small) leagues of Belarus, Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania (without picking the big teams there).

That covers most of the leagues we haven't bothered to play in FM before and should be a decent kicking off point to getting a decent set of regens in the rest of the game. Plus it'll be fun trying to get any of these teams challenging in the champions league (though a one attempt only at that probably should be in force to stop us getting horribly addicted to a team in the middle of nowhere).

It seems like a fun attempt at something a little different and a good way to get though a bulk of seasons to get the mls playable (I really want to do the mls in the future where more current players can end up as washed up stars as there aren't enough at the start of this one).

I understand. Sound good, but not fun. I feel I will get bored after a few seasons :P Still no idea which challenge I will do.

Lol yeah I think the same thing will happen to us really, alter-egos of Radovan Petrovic will start applying for jobs in leagues I enjoy after a couple of infuriating seasons with the likes of NK Inter Zaprešić and FK Donji Srem...

I am liking the idea of winning the different champions leagues but it does seem quite time consuming if you try to do it from teams/leagues that aren't dominant forces already.
