Registered 10 years agoYep couldn't turn my nose up at it for £19.50
Enjoyed the difficulty of 2012, seems set just right if you play it on Sunday league manager difficulty.
Hopefully 2013 has better match engine graphics and better AI manager transfer dealings, then I will be happy guiding Farnbourgh to the football League -

Registered 5 years ago@Gruff £19.50? wow that's cheap damn me and my impulse buying on steam...
@faux_carnation it's name is a beta, but it is a pretty much near finished final version of the game. everyone says there are terrible bugs just after release but i have never run into any problems! -

Heard some horror stories, but I have my code, and it waiting in steam for the Beta, so we will see I guess. -

Registered 3 years agoI find the searching for facepacks and downloading/installing of facepacks far too tedious. Then there are the skins, club logos, competition logos, balls, and whatever else.
Each year I buy the game it feels incomplete by omitting such things. It's easy to say 'well don't download it' - but it's silly to release a game and only have faces attached to certain clubs such as Barca and Real. There are more than just those 2 teams out there.
FMC is the pull for me this year, but may leave it as I remember the hassle from last year. -

Registered 8 years agoIts on my birthday amazon wishlist and hopefully my mrs takes the hint!
Definitely interested in the classic mode, the recent ones have been too busy for me to get into no matter how much I try, I play for about 20 hours and I've done about 10 games. And I still prefer to play on the laptop than on a phone / tablet... -

Registered 10 years ago@philreeduk Well judging by the two destroyed relationships I have had because of the game, I think you should be cautious.gif)
Saying that, me likey lots, match engine now somewhat resembles footy.
Still finding my way around the interface, where has the training gone for example? -

Registered 3 years ago@vijay_UK Just download the 'mega-packs' from SortitoutSI.
Also, no reason why you can't copy you graphics folder across from FM12.
And I'm guessing the reason the graphics aren't included in the vanilla game for most teams is down to licencing issues rather than laziness.

Thx for your reply. Advice taken and, for yet another season, will attempt to emulate Djimi Traore and win the Champions League with Liverpool.

Registered 7 years agoI'm really quite excited for this, which is ridiculous as the time I have these days to play is so severely restricted. Not played one since FM2010 so I've given myself some breathing space freshness-wise in the series.D****** ******r

Registered 5 years ago@Gruff too late it's already destroyed my friday night and now probably the rest of the year!
Has anyone noticed this one is a lot more difficult than previous years? playing a game as Man Utd, signed Bale & Fellani so thought my team was in a good shape. First three games against Swansea, Reading and Wigan and i currently have 2 points! damn Van Persie missing two penalties in one game! -

Registered 1 year agoI had a quick go on the beta and after a few games decided to wait for the full release, as the match engine is a mess.
Everything else seems really good. I didn't play much of FM12, so hopefully this years can ruin my social life like it usually does. -

Registered 1 year agoThere's a patch to be released in early November when the game is properly released. I know it's a beta but the match engine is a complete mess at the moment. Unplayable. -

Pretty much every cross to the back post results in a goal. Full backs aren't tackling, nor are teams pressing properly. Not to mention short passing is bugged, central defenders not defending long balls properly and just stand around doing nothing when a ball is loose in the box. I could go on.

The match engine really is a mess, but yea throw another lame insult out there. -

Registered 10 years agoHmmm, I play a high line,pressing, short passing tactic (classic tactics, none of that shouts bollocks) and always start with a non league team.
Players press, keep possession and work angles in the attacking third, so not sure how you can say its bugged TBH.
I have had one occasion where players were standing around while the opposing striker was a on the ball in my area, but its a BETA, so that can be expected.
Not seeing every ball to the back post turning into goals either, I watch full matches as well, and have to say the match engine is a clear step up from last years.
Does seem more difficult as well, but as someone who has NEVER been relegated in an FM game, and I play on Sunday League difficulty, that is well overdue
Loving it, best one yet for me -
