    New quirks for 2013...

    Has anyone else noticed this in the new release? In only three games: - I have hit the woodwork 13 times! - Have picked up 7 injuries! - Have watched an increase of roughly 40% in goal kicks and corners - as the ball seems to travel way faster than it used to - and runs off the end of the...

    Match Confidence....?!

    So, 2013 - - they still haven't sorted the match confidence comments, then... 2nd game in with new season with LL club. I have 5 (!) players injured and one banned from first team (in itself a bizarre situation), so I had to field U19s and a few reserves. I held strongly favoured team to a...

    Scheduling Slider?

    Hi, Looked everywhere for an answer to this - and I am sure it's a simple one... Why is my 'scheduling' slider greyed out? I can't move it to adjust the weekly settings....!? Thx. .

    Team Chat - angry??

    Can someone explain what is wrong with saying: "Great performance out there lads, let's make sure you can do it when it really matters"? I said it at full time after my team comprehensively beat a lower team in pre-season - and the whole team (bar the goalkeeper - who got more focus) - got...

    Formation confusion?

    Hi, I posted a few days ago about not being able to break a massive losing streak after I had a massive winning streak for weeks. I tend to keep my sliders all ticked, ie they are not affected by the overall team orders (push up, play narrow, more direct etc) as I manually micro-manage almost...

    Bad Form

    I posted a few days ago and didn't get a reply, and now - before I throw my computer out of the window - I thought I'd try again. Simply put - I had a LL team that obliterated the low (Swedish) div. that it was in, in my first season- then after promotion, and a few tricky games - sailed to...

    New blood - bad blood?

    Hi, I (always) manage a lower league team. (In Sweden this time around.) First season, against all expectation I sail through to promotion untouched. Second season in the league above, I start poorly, but end up unbeatable and top the division - and against all the odds are about to be...

    A few WHY'S??

    After playing this game for many years, but specifically overdosing in the last few days - I've noticed a few annoying traits of players that I remember from way back that haven't changed... Is this bad programming or just unrealistic? 1. WHY - is my striker with 12-13 speed and 12...

    Closing Down

    Still confused about the wording on the closing down instruction. I understand that the sliders give a general indication of how quickly my players will look to close down the opposition, but I am confused about the wording. The 3 levels are own area, own half, whole pitch - as we know...

    2 more quickies...

    1. I got this from another forum: ...cutting inside means a winger moves inside when on the ball and moving into channels is moving inside and finding space when off the ball... Surely you would want your guy to be able to do both and not have one type of attack rule out the...

    Quickies...

    Some quick questions that require answers please. Discipline: 1. How can I stop several of my players consistently picking up yellow cards? There is no option to 'privately chat' about it - as they're not getting red-carded, just a yellow card almost every game. Plus, they are always 'in...

    Player 'Studying' ...?

    I bought some fellow for my lowest league Swedish club (which, btw, is now sailing at the top of the div... ;)) ... only to see that he is 'Una' for every game. When I look at his status - hidden down by the red card/bans section - it says "studying until Oct. 2012" ... Wtf is that and...
