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

Is there any sort of multiplayer/competitive leagues in this one?

Not sure whether its worthy of a purchase if you get my drift.
 
I paid £29.99 for it on Steam.

I'm easily going to hit 1000 hour played (I managed to play almost 1300 hours on the previous game, and average about 1000 on each game since '97) so that works out at £0.03 (near ish) an hour.

How is that not amazing value and why would you not purchase it? :mad:

Because unlike you I wont have 1000 hours of free time to play it.

Probably get around 4-5 hours of play time per week.

Plus I havent played FM since 08-09, so unsure whether it'll be something I can devote my time to again.
 
4 hours a week = £0.14 an hour over a year. Again, how is this not brilliant value?

Miles said last year that with ~higher sales and ~lower pirates that they're able to do much more with the game as they have a higher budget.
 
I started my BSS Dover career last night (beta) after picking up a copy from GMG for £22.50.

Not sure about everybody else, but I really enjoy the whole Assistant feedback during the match without having to dive into the menus. Also, the coach report on each player role helps when I'm putting my team together.

One of my best players is an AM-Treq, so I'm playing a 4-4-1-1 controlling/rigid tactic.

GK(D)
FB(D)LB(D)LB(D)FB(S)
W(S)BWM(D)CM(S)WM(S)
T(A)
TM(S)

You may notice, I'm useless with tactics.

Pre-season went well. Even managed to beat Portsmouth 2-0. Had a bit of an average start to the league though. Managed to lose a 2-0 lead and end up drawing 2-2 against Basingstoke.

Really enjoying all the improvements so far though.

So I'm assuming by the fact you aren't answering my question that there is no multiplayer/community features? :D

Im more than happy to buy btw.

There are some new multiplayer modes, you can now take your fm teams head to head online and other stuff. It's all in this video from page 1/2

You've assumed wrong :)

You said that if it contained these features you'd buy it, if not you'd pirate it. Support Si games by buying their game.

Nope, bought it as a download. It's just stuck at the beta version, tried everything!

Hmm. Have you closed Steam down and restarted. That's what I was doing last night to try and get FM to update until I realised I needed the code from the box to get the beta to convert to the full version.

Alternatively, check out the SI Games Forum for more information and help. I've found this for you: http://www.sigames.com/faq/fm13.php?id=101. It suggests verifying the game cache.

How's everyone finding it? Not played yet as still at work/need to download, but am a little bit nervous given the outcry on the games' forums.

I genuinely hope this is a small amount of people being very fussy but it seems buggy as hell!? :(

I played 11 and 12 and this is certainly, by a long long way, the most buggy. The match engine is broke as hell. Defending is awful and the keepers make blunders every other game. This was the BETA build though, not sure how far they have came with it since then in terms of fixes.

Done this mate, think I must have ordered a physical copy :S. I'll have to wait and see when I get home.
 
Started again as wolves from the beta, defenders are still dumb and watch a ball instead of trying to beat a player to it, the keepers being idiots has been fixed from what i can tell, its a lot harder for me to score though and seem to be having a lot less chances in a game.

BS! With higher sales comes more money in their pockets.

They get enough. Mind you, its a great game, but that is just stupid.

Not really, they hired more staff with the extra money :)

No doubt that the big wigs at the very top got a bit extra too.

I've not yet started an actual match on the full version of FM13 yet. Syke will tell you, if he ever posts in here, that I take about 3 months to cover the time between starting a savegame and the first pre-season game. :D:o

When I have started a match, I'll let you know what I find, unless you beat me to it! But I do know what you mean. Some of the missed interceptions my players, er, don't make, are flaming impossible to miss. I could react to them and intercept a ball but not my players, no. And I know SI have made some match engine changes in the last few weeks so hopefully the full version will be better than the beta/demo.

Yeah, sounds like it. Well let us know if you get it solved and what the issue was/is. :)

Was worried there until I read you said, "from the beta". :o Hopefully, as I've said above, we'll not see this match engine bugs in the full release.
