FMC seems pointless to me, watered down and a season in under 10 hours... I do that already on the full game.

It's not really aimed at you though, lots of people wont buy it for £19.50 because they are worried about the time they need to put in to get to the stage where you can do a season in 10 hours :p

So the aim is to provide a mode where you can enjoy all the stuff you love without having to hammer through it like the life absorbing game it can be.

Plus it creates a situation where the challenge mode from the mobile game is accessible which is always good :)
 
Haha brilliant! :D (even if it is missing some of the game)

Just so long as it works for you that's what matters :p

Random blog for the round up of features


Never understood why you couldn't type the numbers in the contract negotiations before...
 
That online game was a funny evening of trying to break the Dutch league... One of the blogs said this year they have integrated the online functions though team and sorted out turn limiters and such like so it should be worth giving a go this time round.

Murray you prune! Try that code and see if it still works :p (actually it doesn't GMG20-FXYD1-7WHP1 gives you 20% off at GMG at the moment making it £24)

Bought, downloading. Connection is screwed :( Haha - looks like it'll be done in time for Saturday!

This is sad, but I always hope Brentford have a storming start to the season (in real life) not necessarily for the benefit of the team... but to make sure we're a little bit better on FM!

I went straight for Saints, I regretted it.

Haha - When I used to work 14 hours a day, I bought FM for two consecutive seasons just to see how good (read: bad) our squad was despite knowing that I wouldn't have time to play the game at all! What's Ramirez like?

This is driving me nuts - my internet connection at home is messed up. I'm having to reconnect to our network 4-5 times just to download a single percent! :(

Haha! Ramirez is the best player (and highest paid) player at the club. I played one game then decided I can't be bothered till this is released properly (have to do a season with my new stadium at Burton first).

Green Man has been the best so far for 24 ish.

Haha - loyalty, nice. Was tempted to keep the Bath City project going, but consecutive busy weekends ahead of the new release means I think it may fall by the wayside.

90%. I know what's going to happen. Log on, check the squad, see Clayton Donaldson has something like 9 for finishing, get annoyed, promise myself I won't play it, play it until 7am and then try to go to work... :p

They named a 42k stadium after me :D I promised a mate I would play till I got my new stadium (neither of us have ever gone that far with a team).

Your plan for Donaldson is pretty much what I did with Saints, had a look at everyone's ratings, been amazed most of the academy look quality/full of potential, then quit as its too new...
 
toshj said:
Yeah, I had the stadium named after me. Screenshot and sent to my dad straight away - bizarrely he was't as impressed as I was :confused:

Yup, Donaldson has 10 for finishing. hahaha, great.

HAHAHA! I wonder why... :p

I might buy some ties for different teams to manage this year, borrowed a red and white one for saints but I think I need to put more effort in to look the part this year (will do another Burton game I think).

Shame on Donaldson, could just edit it on release day...
 
toshj said:
You have ties? nice!

Will definitely have to edit - think they missed a "1" in front of Richard Lee's handling skills... I don't think he possesses 3/20 for handling as a keeper! :p
Click to expand...

Had a saints colours one, need a few for this season I think....

Ha! Only one keeper can have 3 handling and thats the all mighty Tommy Forecast (who we managed to palm off to Gillingham on loan for the rest of his contract)

Temptation.

I need money for driving lessons, and in the future, a car. How can I afford FM?!
Click to expand...

Haha! I didn't learn to drive till I was 22, worked out in the long run I saved my self loads as it took less lessons to learn being more mature :D

Plus FM is only one driving lesson over here so its just one lesson less....

Finally managed to turn it off! Started a game with Dover managed to get through to December and am sitting in 12th, not too bad :p

HAHA! Good man :D

They will be adding more pictures and logos and club badges to the final product right?
Click to expand...

Hopefully or at least all the usual stuff is sorted by the time its released, hate playing without the facepack and logo pack, makes it so impersonal (I think that's why I am not into this one at all yet)

Quick question, if I but FM2013 from GMG will it appear in my steam account as both a PC and a Mac download? I know if I purchase the game through steam it will be, and I would expect it would be if I bought it through GMG however I thought it was worth asking first as theres no mention of Mac on the GMG write up
Click to expand...

GMG are just lazy if it ends up on steam it'll be on mac too :)
 
No idea how to set it to only the 2d commentary at all times, it seems to randomly forget the odd setting on mine.

Worse still there is some sort of utter stupidity in the match engine, quite often from kickoff for either team they pass it to each other then hoof it out for a goal kick! Never seen it before in FM and happens almost every game now
 
I like the appearance generally, it's just the players seem to take a nose dive in common sense occasionally and hoof it for zero reason. Plus I have conceded quite a few from nothing moments, thought that could be the BSS...

Other complaint is there is no way to set someone as not available for the reserves without sticking them in the reserves and taking them out again. That's just a weird oversight.

Everyone playing the 'full' game? How many Leagues are people loading?
Click to expand...

All of England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland, Brazil, Argentina, MLS, Belgium and Scotland.

Makes a good balance for rubbish teams for lower league players and the champions league to still work.

What I have loaded -

Anyone else getting an insane amount of disallowed goals?
Click to expand...

Yep plenty, welcome to lower league....

Though I do get a lot of really bad offside decisions and a few stupid rebound tap-ins.
