The Official Football Manager 2010 Thread

I'm considering a small upgrade to try speed up FM2010.

With 24 leagues from 17 nations with 65,000 players, I get 1 star out of 5 with the rig in my sig.

Could anyone with good hardware tell me what they run in FM2010 and the performance they get from it?
 
I run 11 leagues i think, with a large database. (3 playable though).
Quad Core, 4Gb of RAM, gives me 4/5 stars for system performance iirc.

A Quad Core, which are fairly common now-a-days, is probably your best bet.:)
 
I used to run a really big game, so slow on my laptop, made it not fun.

Started again with three or four leagues, so much better, quicker and more enjoyable.

Do miss having less players though!

I just like the choice of browsing loads of different leagues for players and regens.

You don't have to run leagues to have the players from it, it's all the fixture processing that will slow you down. When you start a game go to database size > custom and play around in there.
 
Has anyone else ripped their hair out due to this game? On no less than TEN occasions this season I've conceeded late goals in winning positions. Substitutions, different tactics, different players... It all makes no difference.

As such I now find myself 7 points off relegation with 10 games to go. Unfortunatley however my next 4 games are:

Arsenal (League Cup Final) - Don't ask me how I got there, I'm still not sure.
Arsenal (League)
Chelsea (League)
Man City (League)

I'd say in the last 10 games there are 4 winnable ones, whether it will happen is another matter.

At least it gives you time to turn things around :p.

In fairness, any problems post January are my fault as I didn't bring another striker in during the transfer window. Managed to make around 12 million though selling players at Blackburn however have only been given 8 of that to spend. The players I want won't come and the players I don't want are still too expensive for what they are.

Kalinic has decided he doesn't like England and McCarthy has decided he doesn't like football so neither can be relied on for goals. I'm tempted to just play a 6 man midfield :p.

Yeah I have 75-80 minutes to score 2 goals and normally manage 1. :rolleyes:

I normally manage 1 :D. Not in game at the minute so I can't check but I'm fairly sure only 3 players (McCarthy, Kalinic, Reid) have scored for me this season.

Managed to sign some youth players given my budget but I need someone like Milevskyi. Signed him in 09 and he basically won me the league single handedly. He's just out of my price and wage range on 10 though.
 
quite happy with how my game is going

Got a massively defensive setup with Newcastle

Flat back 4 then 2 defensive mids, a centre mid, an attacking playmaker followed by 2 strikers

Got rid of the dead wood from my Newcastle squad and won promotion, Got 7.5 mil to spend and again with some selling off dead wood my squad inc loans looks like

Santa Cruz (£4m) Jo (£10mil - silly money)
----Guti (loan)
---Diaby-----(£3.5mil)
Smith ----- Gago (Loan)

Enrique ---Collo ---Henrique (£5mil) ---S Taylor


-----B Foster (£3.5mil)

Quite happily sitting midtable in my 1st season of the premier, used no dodgy tactics or programs apart from Tugs Training, going to push for Europe hopefully:)
 
Started a new game with Notts County. Did have a game going with Rushden and then one with Corby.

Thought i'd choose a team with a bit of money to spend.

We have signed Nabil El Zhar from Liverpool, John Bostock from Spurs, Rhys Murphey from Arsenal, Mifsud on a free, along with some other less known players.
Also have Danny Rose from Spurs on loan until the end of the season.

Currently just manage to take top spot off of Shrewsbury, 12 games in, still unbeaten, but a few have been draws and a lot have been last minute goals too.

Also i have around 6 players injured including, Mifud 5-6 months, Bostock - 5-6 weeks, Nathan Clarke 3-4 weeks, Ade Akinbiyi - Awaiting Treatment, and a few of my other starters who have just began training again. :(

Not too sure why I always seem to get squads who are injury prone :confused:. I've lowered the training intensity, but all of the injuries have been during a match, none in training.

Tempo is just normal i believe. All of the injuries are Muscle tears, groin strains and twisted knees or ankles.

So nothing to do with collisions or tackles from opposition players?

I think you can have training intensity at the high setting but make sure the individual training areas aren't too high. Maybe download an example training set and compare it to yours, see where you might be overdoing the training.
