I think I am done with this franchise, it is no longer a game that can be played casually. If you aren't a tactical genius and have hours upon hours free to dedicate to the game you will get no where. SI should realise that not everyone is a no life simpleton who can spend every waking hour...

If you aren't some kind of tactical genius you are pretty much screwed. I can't even get United firing so I am concluding that I am just **** at the game and should stick to FIFA.

I'm finding it hard to put together any kind of consistent run. Beating Spurs and City, losing to Villa and Liverpool, getting absolutely hammered by Chelsea, drawing far too much. I'm coming to the conclusion I'm just ***** at the game. A handful of individuals are keeping me in the job.

I guess I got lucky with Young as Spurs wanted him. Martial has had a couple of injuries which is quite annoying but Barbosa has been doing well for me as a F9 so far. I'm thinking I should probably change the DLP to a RGA in my tactic as it has quite a high defensive line and high pressing...

Well, I can see United being a popular team this year with the overhaul to their squad in the summer and a generous 60 million transfer budget at the start, so I thought it'd be a good idea to have a discussion on our experiences (and perhaps where those of us who aren't tactical geniuses can...

Not possible, I'm afraid. I lost the game in a truly impressive hard drive crash. It's not even my tactic. It's shamelessly stolen from teh interwebs.

Give this tactic a go. I had some great success with this one and was gutted when I lost the save. Though I did change the DM to a DLP and the CMs to BWMS and APA.

I signed Munoz for CB and he is pretty darn solid. There is also John Stones if you want to go HG but he may be more of a long term option. I signed the latter in the 2nd season after off loading Smalling for £17m

I have been having success with IFs on support duty with instructions shoot less often, more direct passing and hold up the ball. All cards on the table though, I am United and my IFs are Mata and Januzaj, plus my F9 is Van Persie. Also set you FBs to cross more often and have a CM on an...

Was it cheating for Ferguson to sign Ronaldo for £12m, make him one of the best players in the world and sell him for a massive profit too?

Well, finally got around to starting a game with United and here is the story so far Outs: Young, Fletcher, Lindegaard, Anderson, Amos Loan Outs: Thorpe, Borthwick-Jackson, Blackett, Janko, Vermijl, Willock, Lingard Ins: Munir, Lucas Romero, Tielemans, Balanta, Horn, Bakkali, Munoz, Mats...

No, we are at 14.2 and the ME is just shocking. SI need to sack their quality control people for releasing such a shoddy game.

Appalling patch. Shots to shots on target ratio is ridiculously low and you get stupid amounts of long shots no matter what you do. I have selected Work Ball Into Box and applied individual instructions of Shoot Less Often, and still players shoot from stupid ranges. When selling a player, no...

Found a workaround for the Alt-Tab issue Press Shift-Tab to go into Steam overlay mode then press Alt-Tab

Xubuntu user here and I can confirm that I have had both those issues and since I have my task bar at the bottom it is doubly annoying.
