Gypsum_Fantastic Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 it has been quite frustrating but after a bit of tampering of tactics just had my best match ever! Sunderland VS Newcastle, Toon went down a goal twice only for it to end up 3-7 to the Toon, MAGIC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Have you played the demo?Of course i got it as soon as it was released, i think its fantastic, a bit cluttered but hopefully they fix that up a bit, but the new tone system is great, and the the team meetings and stuff have been needed for a while. Im just looking forward to another 30 years in charge of the dons Have you tried it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm still playing FM09, but I might delve into FM12, as it's about time. Will missing FM11 affect my understanding of the match engine at all, or is it similar to FM09/10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it still stupidly easy to score 40+ goals a season from corners? I kind of hope it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that would put you off or not there has been a big hoo ha on the SIGames forums because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmaxwell Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 steam is a load of pish and I'll not be buying it as a result. This is a shame as it looks excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 not that i want to get into another steam debate, but they have greatly improved steam over the past 2 years, and a recent update has greatly stabilised the offline mode but its obviously up to everyone what they install or not.

Imagine you couldn't listen to a CD unless you logged into a website first. Pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Its not pointless, its a form of DRM, its the way PC gaming is moving, there are very few titles that dont use steam or another form of DRM. But like i say i have been over and over this on the SIGames forum, and i dont want to bog here down with the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Played the demo and really like it as usual, they have well revamped the team talks, shame it runs so slow on my computer. I was doing utterly shit in charge of Cambridge United - under pressure and battling relegation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
