    Manually Swapping Players During Match...Worth it?

    In older versions of FM, you could have, for example, a right wing inside forward swap with your advanced forward using player instructions. In FM 14, you can't. Is it worth trying to replicate this by manually swapping them occasionally during the match? Will that drag the opposing center...

    Team cannot set quick players free...help!

    I'm playing as Arsenal about 4 seasons in. I have very quick wing forwards (Schurrle, Walcott, a regen), and I want to develop a tactic that revolves around Ozil pinging through balls into the channels for the inside forwards to race onto and get 1v1 shots off against the opposition keeper...

    Funny/Random things in FM2012

    Real Sociedad isn't resting on their laurals. After being last seen in this thread hiring Jose Mourinho away from Liverpool, they tired of him not being able to get them above 6th, and a year to the day after they hired him, they fired him. Now they've hired league leading Real Madrid's head...

    Funny/Random things in FM2012

    I don't know why he would chose to do that. Real Sociedad is 17th in Liga BBVA and haven't finished higher than 7th all through my game. Liverpool is 4th currently.

    Buying on Steam

    If you look on the steam store page, FM 12 has the Mac + PC Steamplay icon, so you just need to buy one copy and you can play on either a Mac or a PC. Your save games won't automatically transfer between computers though; you still have to do that yourself.

    Features missing in FM2012 and new features for FM2013

    You can already basically do that by setting the transfer date to "end of season" instead of immediately. Then they stay with their old team until June.

    Manager Languages?????

    Being Swiss is pretty useful, give you French, Italian, and German. Being Belgian will get you French and Dutch. Picking small countries on the border of many or colonial nations are your best bet for getting lots of languages. I think South Africa gets you four (Sesotho, English, Zulu...

    Adapting Bielsa's tactic - need some help

    Have you looked at Zonal Marking's tactical writeups? Athletic v Barca and Chile World Cup 2010 are two that may help. Looking at those writeups, I'd guess playing aggressive wingbacks with Wide Play: Cut Inside would be one way of instructing them. I used wingers who cut inside when I was...

    Will Marseille ever get any transfer money?

    Yeah they do. They have a really large balance, so I ended up with them adjusting my transfer budget to 30m pounds in the winter of season 1. By not going crazy, I was able to have budgets north of 100m in season 3.

    Post Your Successes

    Playing as OM in season 3. Just beat Barcelona 5-1 at the Nou Camp to win the Champions League Semi-final 7-3 on aggregate. Hat trick from Loic Remy running in from the left behind Maxwell just tore them apart. I beat them 2-1 in the Champions League Final last year. Thrilling match for me...

    Best lone striker role

    I've always had good success with inside forward attack, poacher, winger attack for my front 3 of a 4-1-2-3 system. Using a winger instead of two inside forwards helps stretch the defense and keep them from shutting me down by playing deep and narrow.

    Best tactic OM season 3

    My best 4 attackers are Andre Ayew, Josep Ilicic, Hulk, and Loic Remy. I already have a 4-3-3 with a winger that worked quite well last season, but it plays Ilicic at inside forward, which he doesn't really have the pace for. He was also injured a lot last season so I'd shift Hulk to AML and...

    Skin custom colors won't save

    SOLVED: I was able to keep custom skin colors and my logo pack by unchecking both boxes (skin cache and reload skin). I don't know if that will have issues with photo packs, but it works so far for logos.
