The9 Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 (edited) Ooh, sounds like some of my requests will be met be the RTE then. Just for the record, will the RTE allow people to change team names for an ongoing game ? Is there a "club killer" option ? Can someone put together a decent mass player creation and editing facility - literally just allow extracting to xls/csv, editing and reimport to the same IDs...? Also for the record, just finally managed to get "my" Wales file working (haven't checked the Aberystwyth Div 2 yet though, that team sucking vortex) - though as it's based on the already existing file and I've "only" made 90,000 changes to that I can't share it with people according to the best practice rules on the SI Forum...

The9 Posted 22 August, 2013 Share Posted 22 August, 2013 One more moan - I set the entire of the Welsh Leagues below tier 2 as "Amateur" and the game STILL insists on making clubs semi-pro as low as Tier 11, and all your players STILL sod off elsewhere as soon as possible. I know some of them (i.e. me) are too good to play at that level but not the entire squad, it's bloody ridiculous. Are there any known workarounds or settings that will keep amateur players at clubs ? I've already set them all to 19 loyalty, makes no difference.

That's cos he ain't no player, and don't worry, I have no interest in his boring changes to FM video either, couldn't even get to the end of it, and I'm sure some of that stuff is in 13.3.3 anyway.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 8 September, 2013 Share Posted 8 September, 2013 Does look good MLG to be fair. However, I guess the proof is in the pudding. Previous versions have also looked good but in reality 'realistic' formations have not worked. The best formations and tactics have always seemed to be some strange overload thing. Hope this one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 13 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 13 September, 2013 It will be released on 31st October 2013. - a beta version will be avaialbe for those that pre-order 2 weeks before release - a free demo will be available to everyone 1 week before release [video=youtube;oQqV1v-BaA8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 13 September, 2013 Share Posted 13 September, 2013 The latest one felt a lot slower to me so I just stuck with 2012, hopefully this one will feel a bit smoother.

skintsaint Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 I downloaded the Beta, played for 5mins as had to go out the door, but what has changed apart from players etc being at different clubs?

Tokyo-Saint Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 Skint saint, you not been watching the videos? Loads has changed. Bigger pics for blind people, save online for savers online, cheat mode for cheaters and loads more. FFS keep up with these massive advances in technology or you won't understand any of the changes when FM2015 is released with all it's overhauls.

pap Posted 17 October, 2013 Share Posted 17 October, 2013 Has anyone got a good tactic for FM2014 beta? I just want something that I can use to steamroller teams. I only really care about the end of season praise. MLG - perhaps you should suggest that. Football Manager Climax. A game featuring nothing but season platitudes for the time poor.

Yep, the Lyon researcher reduced him in the summer. But if he continues performing as he has for Saints so far he'll be getting a boost for the January update. But as I said a lot more Saints players got an increase than those that were decreased. Edited 19 October, 2013 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunna put it down till its all ironed out...probably in about the 5th patch! game seems the same as the last one, just touched up the game graphics and a few menu screens but haven't played enough to find out if anything major has changed with the game yet.

Clapham Saint Posted 21 October, 2013 Share Posted 21 October, 2013 I didn't buy FM13 but quite enjoying this one so far. Compared to FM12 it is exactly the same game with a graphics update and some presentational tweaks giving additional analysis. I don't know how many of these were included in FM13. Currently about 30 games into my first season and having lost my first 2 away games 4-0 and 6-0 I've managed to spend most of the season in 5th/6th. Dropped down to 8th/9th recently though - not really sure what has driven the change in fortunes. Playing 2 up front from Osvaldo, Rickie and J Rod. I'd say 90% of shots miss the target by miles (crossing the goal line outside of the penalty area) - which is frustrating. Clyne has been awesome as has spiderman.
