So just to update-as you can see I have yet to write the "ton of planned posts". Why not? The problem is I have in the past become quite compulsive about things, so am giving it a break for a little while. (although I have now only done about 2 and half seasons game time, in terms of hours...

things that help me; Scouting - when you get a scout report it often will tell you a rough price you can expect to pay. They are not always accurate but can be helpful Transfer Listed PLayers are usually cheaper Short List - I have a big short list. This has 2 advantages; If another team go...

Thanks for the encouragement, I've got a ton of planned posts now. Hopefully will have some time over the next week or two to get a fair few written. Also just wanted to say Tom Finney who I mentioned above was 90 yesterday!

Got him on a free. He's not up for tutoring which is annoying- seems to have primodona characterstics. I've played him a fair amount at right back as he's been a liability in CM, but might give the BWM a go

Lesson 2 - Standing On The Shoulders of Giants So I decided to start the game in late February 2012 (actual game date) - the reason was it was close to the real life date. Wherever Preston were in the league was where I would have to parachute in from.... With 14 games to go, I would come...

or you could wait 2 seasons and pay £9m like i did in the end.. tshabala is about 300k I think and defo worth it

Guys (and gals), just wondering for those that are happy with their Fm and non-fm lifestyle how you play the game? i.e. how much a week? How you stop yourself going OTT and playing too much etc. Do you set boundaries etc? Any tips or examples of what the sweet spot for you is?

this may be a similar issue; Sports Interactive Community

it'a probably a devicesive subject. Same with how much time people spend on the game. and it's also a general trend in games. Lots of games have become more immersive and complex- and their are great benefits of this. But it can also mean they take up more time or mental energy- a commodity...

there is an option on the editor which if ticked on a player means they will retire when there stint at their last club ends. I believe Giggs has it for example. My memory is hazy but I think Fergie may have had it aswell

yeah I agree. it's a problem.-they do have the iphone game - have you tried that? as long as you don't have a slow PC there is a slight workaround; You simply set up your own rules to make it a faster game yourself and play it with less depth. E.g. You only watch games on text mode,but keep up...

as the others have said-probably play another game. i've just started playing this again and it took me a while to get into it, and it is very time consuming. i'd try and look at how much you have and find somethign that gives you a good level of satification in that timeframe.

i agree with you totally, but probably not enough of the other people that play the game. It's the same with age-ism in tha game, it's always been there and for me it makes the game very unrealistic-but not many other gamers I think notice or care. Lots play the game souping up all the youth and...

Just looking at another 2020- save from the old 12.0 game, it's a little different. This one has more players loaded; Obviously this is just one save, but the above could suggest that on this game, England are producing (in terms of just Potential Ability), a similar amount of top top...

maybe it varies a little, but how many players under 20 are there with 180+ of all nationalities? probably not many? looking at the 2021 save 12.2 time machine I downloaded from here http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/challenges-scenarios/95217-football-manager-12-2-time-machines.html there...
