Idiotic. Fm-base have made their stance on piracy crystal clear and yet you post this hear? The game is down to as little as £19.99 in some of the christmas sales, buy the **** game for gods sake.

I'd be surprised in all honesty. I'm running a Toshiba with 4gb of RAM and a 2.3ghz processor and I sometimes struggle, even with small databases. I don't think your laptop is designed to do much else other than your basic internet and word processing jobs, FM13 is a extremely memory hungry game.

It can sometime take a very long time, depending on how comfortable they are in that position to start with, how versatile they are, and how much they play in the position you want to train them in. For example, I trained Phil Jones to be a natural right back at Man Utd, I wanted cover for...

Basically a negative PA is assigned to a young player who hasn't done enough to be given a precise fixed PA. -10 means the player will be given a fixed PA between 170 and 200 when your game is first started, -9 means 150 to 180, -8 is 130 to 160 and so on.

First off, forgive me if such a thread already exists, I had a little look and couldn't find one so I thought I'd start one. Basically, this is just somewhere to discuss and suggest good players with low minimum fee release clauses in their contracts. I'm going to start the ball rolling with...

I see people are complaining about a lack of a ball winner in midfield. I heard a quote from Fergie in the summer saying how he didn't think we needed one as players like Iniesta and Xavi and a few others cope fine with the physical battles that football demands. I felt someone should point out...

Being a big United fan, I pretty much always play with Man Utd, and at first, I struggled in this game. However, after a while, I managed to develop a 4-3-3 that is working pretty nicely for me. De Gea Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra Sandro (Bought from Spurs for like £15 million) Carrick, Ayew...

Can I also say, is anyone else quite impressed with Rooney out on the left? That's the second time this season I've seen him play there, and not only does it seem to suit him coming inside and linking up with central midfielders and Van Persie coming deep, but he gives Evra far more defensive...

Tell you what, being a Man Utd fan has never been good for my heart, but this season is taking the biscuit! Fantastic comeback, but that doesn't hide the fact we were given a scare by Villa. For me, we lack pace in defence. I know Smalling is a quick guy, but he's just back from injury, and you...

I disagree. I find it hard to believe he could achieve all he has, goal wise, if all he ever did was smash and hope. I think he is a world class player, who has world class mental abilities to match. It may look like he is just hitting the ball as hard as he can, but I think he knows exactly...

I agree his composure is a bit low. Look at his goal in the 2 all draw against Barcelona when Benzema played him in, he stayed calm and composed, you can literally see him pick his spot, and he coolly blasts it past Victor Valdes on his near post. Again against Barcelona, in the Super Cup when...

9 goals and 3 assists in 12 games (if I'm not mistaken). Can we all agree now that £24 million for Van Persie is a steal? Him and Rooney already appear to have a great partnership, and there isn't a team in the league that can stop the 2 of them when they're on form. Secondly, as perhaps...

A flat 4-4-2 seems to be a good choice, a lot of people were talking about crosses being the way to go in the game, so I signed Bale for £24.5 million, and just told him and Valencia to get down the flanks and get the ball in for Van Persie and Rooney, seemed to work better than any other...

Haha, same as me actually, I tried to recreate the diamond that Man Utd are using just now, with Carrick, Cleverley, Anderson and Kagawa, got ripped apart, brought on Valencia and Nani about 55th minute and went to a 4-2-4, managed to stop getting outplayed but still lost. Really struggling to...

Play fullscreen. For some reason, the FMC Skin doesn't show your formation when you're in windowed mode. Pretty simple bug, will presumably be fixed when the full game is released.
