Mattio Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I'm starting to get really P1ssed off with FM12 now, my team just won't put the ball in the net, has anyone else had this problem and if so, how do you fix it! Here's an image to show what I mean... The game ended 0-0 after 100% control over the whole game with most of the possession in their third. Most of those shots were point blank headers that were put wide or over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 You have to change the striker training as it defaults to "shoot off target". You need to change it to "shoot on target". That usually works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 3 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 May, 2012 I wish it would tell you when players come back from suspension. My star CB was missing for one game but missed 2 because I clicked "submit team" a split second before I noticed he was available again - and I then lost 3-0, two of them the fault of the stand-in.

Benali Saint Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 Signed Marc Muniesa on loan from Barcelona only 19. Can play Left Back or central defence. Quality player.

Saint_clark Posted 8 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 8 May, 2012 Not sure about selling (unless you could set a minimum asking price and not just a valuation) but loaning would work well, I hate having to go through my entire reserves squad trying to loan all my youngsters out for players every single transfer window.

Crazy Diamond Posted 8 May, 2012 Share Posted 8 May, 2012 First game of the season, away at Old Trafford. We took the lead THREE TIMES but ended up drawing due to Fergie time. Not bad I suppose, it's not every day Jay Bothroyd scores twice at one of the big four plus I had two key players out injured after they picked up knocks on international duty.

Colinjb Posted 12 May, 2012 Share Posted 12 May, 2012 Finally converted over. Although the now infamous steam issues are preventing me from playing at the moment. First season, Championship and League Cup winners (narrow victory over Liverpool in the semi final set up a final v Wolves) Signed no-one in the first season, the squad did me proud. Now, with Europa League football next season and a good amount of money to spend I have signed up: Adam Johnson Hatem Ben Arfa Niko Kranjcar (Yes, yes I know.....) Jordan Spence Nathaniel Clyne Mark O'Brien (Derby, young CB) Mark Schwarzer and Vito Mannone After 6 games I am comfortably in the top ten and looking forward to an away day at the San Siro in the Europa group stages. Tadanari Lee has been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 13 May, 2012 Share Posted 13 May, 2012 Finally got around to carrying on my Eastleigh game... Despite having the smallest wage budget in the league, I managed to keep Eastleigh up in the Blue Square Prem twice, but the repayments on the massive 5k stadium the chairman drunkenly built after we won the playoffs in my first season in charge finally did for me in the third season, with the club falling into administration, and the 10 point deduction killing the players' morale as they fell to the bottom of the league. My star striker getting a hamstring injury and being out for 3 months just after this happened didn't help either. I've been sacked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training ground improvements are already in FM12 and will continue into FM13. Sugar daddy status still to be decided, but given the turning of debt into equity it may return. I'm not sure how sugar daddies will work in FM13 given the FFP rules. Lambert and Lallana are getting big boosts, as are most of the Saints squad.

Crazy Diamond Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 Had a bit of a mare recently. Upgraded my MacBook to Lion 10.7 only to find Steam is incompatible with it. For some reason I couldn't update to the latest OS, 10.7.4, so I had to roll back to Snow Leopard. It took up valuable game time! Finished seventh with QPR in the top flight, am looking to spend my entire £28 million transfer budget on a decent defence. Robert Acquafresca, who I signed on a free transfer, ended the season as the highest goalscorer in Europe with 36 goals in a fewer number of appearances. Torres was second with 33. Highlights included a 4 - 1 victory at White Hart Lane, a 3 - 2 win at Old Trafford and a 1 - 0 victory over Arsenal. If you've got money to spend, Kara at PSV Eindhoven is a very sturdy defender. The Stevenage trio of Bostwick, Laird and Wilson are three solid signings for any Championship/bottom half of the table Premier League side. Farkin 'ell, I've just got Charlie Adam on loan for 30k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 I seem to do absolute toss with every side over a full season. In fact I usually get sacked. I thought 9th in the prem was good for saints, but I was sacked after a bad run. Was 4th at one stage so I can't be that bad. But at big clubs I always get sacked (other than Barca where it's easy). Smaller clubs I have some success but usually end up getting sacked. Rangers starting on -10, I finished 2nd by 1 point, so effectively won the league by 9 points, but got sacked 5 games into the next season without a win and out of europe. Improved the squad, all looked good, and opened with a 0-4 loss to st mirren!! Must be a training or tactics thing as I always assemble good squads and massively underperform. Training always seems fine. Can't much be bothered with it now as know how each game ends! Give this tactic a go. It's got me to third in the Premier League with QPR. http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2012-tactics-training/96393-mr-hough-fm12-2-tactics.html Beat Man City 4 - 2, pretty happy with that!

skintsaint Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 sometimes FM makes you sit back and go 'yeah right'....in my Guimaraes game, trying to outdo the big 3, I finally finish 2nd, just behind Porto, they sell Hulk and I strengthen the team over the summer thinking this season I can overtake them. I play them in their version of the charity shield I guess...oh they have Van Persie up front on LOAN....WTF. So basically he rang rings round me and I can see Porto winning the league again!

Mattio Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 Coming to the end of my season with Saints now, going very well, as I've officially been promoted with 5 games to go and 4 points ahead at the top of the table following a 3 game drop in form, where I lost 3 times for some reason... Just beat Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi Final 3-1 and now randomly playing Blackpool in the final, so have a good chance of winning the FA Cup & the Championship in my first season, not bad!

Won the Carling Cup and finished sixth, having at one stage looked a dead cert for the Champions League we had a barren run of form and had to settle for the Europa League. Beat Arsenal in a crunch game that meant we stayed above them and I've just splashed out £6.5 million for Gary Cahill and £9.75 million for Seamus Coleman - part of the never ending quest to stop conceding so many bloody goals.

Mattio Posted 18 May, 2012 Share Posted 18 May, 2012 I ended up winning the FA Cup final (which was actually against Swansea not Blackpool) 2-1 AET, after Swansea equalised on 85 minutes, so straight into the "Euro Cup" which is awesome, but even better, suddenly Southampton is the club to be at with agents offering up some pretty decent players to me, I've also been offered the job as Team GB manager, which should be fun! Adam Lallana got his first cap in a warm up game for the Euros and did pretty well so hopefully he'll stay in the squad for them. Regretfully I've sold SDR, KD and FR, albeit for pretty inflated transfer fees and also looking to get rid of quite a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I signed the same player twice on a free and sold him on again for £2.5million both times - he never made a single appearance for me. Another good way of making a bit of dough is asking for loan fees for your promising youngsters/players you don't want but can't get rid of.

Finished fourth with QPR, made the Champions League semi-finals where we blew the chance to beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp by missing two penalties. Miffed at this, but in March I agreed to talk to Spurs at the end of the season and am now their manager. Was never going to get QPR any further with their small attendances and constant financial problems. If you want a good centre half, get Inigo Martinez.
