    12 years playing FM/CM - What's so different this year? Help me :|

    We've all had our bad patches on Football Manager over the years, where we throw our dummies out of the pram and say the game is broken or impossible. But we rethink our tactics and accept that the blame is our own and move on with a more successful save. Over the years it's got more and more...

    Overrun in midfield?

    My assistant tells me this with every single formation/tactic. It doesn't matter whether I have 3, 4 or 5 midfielders. Whether they're mainly on defend, support or attack, whether they're attacking, central or defensive. When you click on the advice though, it says "change mentalities" and...

    Away from home, what does this game want from me!!??

    I get that in real life, teams have a tendency to struggle away from home, and find more success with home comfort, but seriously, it's so unbelievably exaggerated in the FM series, none moreso than this years'. Couple of examples for you: An Arsenal save: Home WDL - 12-4-3. Away - 7-5-7...

    How to hold onto a lead!?

    I've never had problems in previous years, but I'm lost for words at how easy it is to throw away lead you hold. Having only had the one save so far, I have counted up 9 times where I've held 2-0 leads. I have lost 8 of those, ranging from 3-2 to 5-2. I understand the obvious ie sticking in...

    Crash Dumps - Online saves only

    Recently me and a mate have had a problem with this. We're never really had any major problems all year, but all of a sudden, we're experiencing crash dumps. This never happens on single player saves, but happens non-stop if we try online. I'm pretty much always the host as I have some...

    Editor?

    I use Steam, and usually it's under Program Files, Steam, Steam Apps, etc, but a while ago I dragged it onto my desktop to create a shortcut. I deleted the shortcut, and now can't find it on my computer. Obviously instead of creating the shortcut I've actually dragged the program onto the...

    Online?

    Sorry if this is a duplicate, can't see any mention of this. This year FM doesn't seem to work via hamachi, anything I might be doing wrong or any different programmes I could use? Cheers

    Manager Wages?

    Into my second season as Hull, got myself promoted but I've made the same mistake as they have done in the past year and find myself in debt - not quite on the scale of the real life, though. My wage budget is a real problem, is there any point in manager wages? meaning, would it be a good idea...

    Loan Terminations?

    Is it me being retarded or is there no way to terminate loan contracts on FM11? I'm sure you must be able to though, the screen shot suggests that anyway. Is there actually a way or should I just wait for the loan to run down?

    Graphics?

    Having serious problems with logos and kits. As you can see on the screenshots I currently have no club badges whatsoever. I've tried several different downloads and none show up. I can't see what I can be doing wrong considering I've got player facepacks + skins, so I'm obviously extracting the...
