Its the 12.0.2 patch though.

So you have the goalkeeping bug issue to deal with.

But don't care really.

So many leechers Clubber

That works.

I'm still hard.

And goddamn are prices inflated.

by Highburied Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:00 am

Yes they are...

+80m for Lucas Moura, Neymar, Hazard, Goetze lol...

by lszanto Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:02 am

Do you have more money to buy them with? Or they are just really hard to buy?

by Sushi Master Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:17 am

No, same money. There is a lot of quality about, at least.

But all these young, future stars are all 30m at least. Nevermind if you're a rival club or in the same league, forget about it.

It's gonna be harder now starting off from a humble club.

by Amar Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:21 am

Its impossible to sign Gotze or Hazard.

Need someone for the flanks, but its extremely hard to find good talent at reasonable prices.

I've only signed Baines for £11.5million so far, and thats after I got tired of looking for cheaper and better LB's

by Sushi Master Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:31 am

Play a narrow formation. Central players are plenty but all the flashy wingers are expensive as hell. Or get a young one like James Rodriguez.

You're still gonna get raped, though, but at least they're buyable.

Oh, wait. You mean fullbacks. Try Cissokho, Contento or maybe go looking in the Italian league. Balzaretti, or Criscito.

Or be a man like me and play Santos in wingback attack role and watch your left flank be raped by anyone decent Laughing

FM just eerily predicted the Sagna foot fracture. Damn you, FM.

I bought them both for Porto on first season (no cheats). You just have to pay on Monthly Installments. Offer a high price and pay for the next 48 months Thumbs up

Also, for those who are looking for a good striker, I'd check Hulk out. In 5 years of Football Manager, I've never seen anything like this. After my first year, he won the following: Portuguese Premier League Player of the Month on 8 occasions, Portuguese Premier League Forward of the Year, Portuguese League Cup Top Goalscorer, Portuguese Premier League Most Assists of the Year runner-up, European Champions Cup Best Player, European Champions Cup Golden Boot and European Golden Boot(had a score of 78.00, Luis Suarez runner-up had 46.00 score).

He scored 79 goals in one season. Even scored 6 in one game (got achievement too Thumbs up

). I play him as Advanced Forward, all alone in attack. Just make sure you train Composure, because that's what he lacks. Looking forward for second season Very Happy

Loading up my first game on FM12! Very Happy

Na, I love my 4-3-3 too much.

The only narrow tactic I have is to park the bus Very Happy

I'm just going to tap the hell out of Hazard and Gotze during the season. Started off 5-0, and got alot of dough in the bank, so I'm in a good position. Just need to shred Squillaci's contract.

by lszanto Tue Nov 01, 2011 12:24 pm

Started with Wigan, trying to get some good kids on loan but McEachran + Sturridge rejected me Sad

by Amar Tue Nov 01, 2011 3:23 pm

My goalkeeping positioning is already taking a hit.

Might just wait for the new crack now, cause there's no point in continuing.

How far are you in?

by Vibe Tue Nov 01, 2011 4:10 pm

I'm 3 league games in and stats already dropped on Julio Cesar and Castellazzi.Not sure how much cause I don't know what attributes they started with...I even put positioning on their individual training focus.

8 games and Szczesny's positioning has dropped. I've put him on individual training but its not going to do anything.

SKIDROW cracked the 12.0.2 version of the game, but the 12.0.3 is the patch that fixes this problem. I expect the crack to be out soon, because really there is no point continuing on.

Anyways, many aspects of the game have changed. From the match preparation to the press conferences. The inflated prices is a piss off though, Dortmund won't budge from their asking price of £120million for Gotze lol.

The layout is also going to take some adjusting...I personally loved the FM11 style.

by Sushi Master Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:13 pm

Weird, but then again I started off clean and am only in my 1st league game. Haven't had any problems yet.

If they cracked 12.0.2, the next version should be coming out soon at least.

Yeah, the layout is excessive although I like how you are shown player's morale and what they're thinking. Makes it easier to motivate them.

I got Cissokho for 10m and Montolivo for 13m. I'm now looking for a last minute RB backup, since Jenkinson sucks here. M'Vila's like 60m. Going to wait till the summer, I guess.

I also like how Tevez is already transfer listed and alieanted from Mancini Laughing

by Amar Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:27 pm

Cissokho for £10million? Pretty good. When I start a new game once the crack comes out, I'll look into that deal Very Happy

I had a chance to get Tevez for £30million + Arshavin, but his wage demands are ridiculous.

by Highburied Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:37 pm

You can sign Tevez for 22M (monthly payment for 48 months) but can you pay his wages?? Very Happy

by Sushi Master Tue Nov 01, 2011 5:57 pm

His wages are insane, yeah. But you can get him easily especially with City constanty courting Arshavin, you can get like 13m for him plus money.

But, who are you going to bench? VP is VP and Chamakh is actually very damn good in FM. Walcott as a poacher also does wonders.

Sweet, thanks for sharing

by Amar Tue Nov 01, 2011 9:36 pm

Can anybody confirm that it works?

edit: lots of people complaining that there's still some issues and there working on a new crack.
