BristolCity1992 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 My laptop is a few years old and it runs pretty well. I am slow myself though, nearly 2 hours and all I have done is sort through my first team and have a look around the free transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRERE Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Are the specs quite high for this game in recent years I haven't even been able to run it on my old laptop, just hopong they release it on the ipad like they did with FM11. I think I read somewhere that they were expecting to release FM12 on iPad etc before christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm still in the office so will only get about an hour in tonight, I'll let you all know how I get on, I did bring in a young striker from everton in on loan before I went to bed because Maynard Beattie and Pitman all got injured leaving me with chambelin and Stead up front, his name was Jose Baxter his stats are decent enough and came off the bench in my 2nd Cardiff game (See previous post about my results) and caused some problems with his pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Get Stead attacking the back post at corners, the guy is an absolute demon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted October 27, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Got off to a great start like others, winning virtually every game. Then all of a sudden my form just vanished & I went 9 games with just the one victory, shipping goals left, right and centre. I had been using to variations of a formation to try and stop the AI figuring out how to play me but I think they were a little too similar so have changed again and won my first game in 5. Hopefully I can build from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevered Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 currently top the league although haven't won either of last two. maynard and pitman both have scored 14 each. 18 games gone! Sanchez Watt is a great loan signing whilst Kieran Gibbs is even better! Sign Jamie Proctor from Preston, young and a talent. 100k should seal the deal..

EastendFanatic Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Some great tips and stories yet again! But some how everyones form seems to dip after a great run, i'd suggest mixing match preperation up a little. Dont concentrate on one thing like teamwork etc. Mix it up and also a BIG thing is to interat with your players a few times a month. Let them know how there form is, or how good there training levels have been or how bad they may have been Mixing the formation is not the only solution! also mix up the fluidity of your squad and change up the actual player positions and ideology's! And for team selection everyone seems to forget our close neighbours of Weston-Super-Mare are in BSS. A great team to use if just starting your career. Guys remember to use sights such as FMbase.com and FMscout.com etc... all of these have fantastic blogs and guides that can help your tactical knowledge of FM and also your player knowledge!

At the moment it doesnt wanna load and within a few secounds i get a error message saying "sorry it doesn't work at this time". My question is why does it load up steam everytime i wanna play this? and is there a way i can just bypass steam all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh if i knew you had to load up steam everytime you play the game i wouldnt have brought it in the first place,i paid for the game and i expect to play it anytime i wanted. I had this problem, its because there is a patch, What you need to do on steam is as follows right click the football manager 2012 game on your stead then on the menu click "view downloadable content" next on the menu tabs at the top of this new window click local files, followed by "verifiy integrity of game cache" this will run then steam will download the patch then you can play again Right my story so far I've played a few more games tonight and had a mixed bag, Bristol City 0-1 Nottingham Forest Doncaster 3-3 Bristol City (was pleased as I was 2-0 down at hslf time so changed tactics and gave an aggresive team talk the lads responed and went 3-2 up only for done to score a 3 yard off side goal in the last minute) Man City 1-0 Bristol City (Cuo great perforamnce unluck to lose) Bristol City 1-0 Leicester City (they were top I was 5th) Millwall 1-1 Bristol City So the lads are doing ok but injuries are mounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneybcfc Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I've put my City game on hold mid first season as the call of trying non-league football crept up on me. Started as WSM but struggling mid table as despite my defence now a rock and midfield not bad i can't for the life of me find a striker (in the 7 or so who start at WSM) that can finish. I've been reluctant to release any of the strikers as they are all rated pretty good if not now then good potential but i just can't get goals. Anybody recommend BSS free's bearing in mind im several into a season already so most are probably taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
