And it what way am I not a good manager ? That's the point isn't it. What does the AM do that I am not because there is nothing obvious.

I can never ever find decent coaches. All the good ones want to be Fitness Coaches, Manager of Heads of Youth Development.

Do people find that their team does better if you go on holiday? I just got fed up of the team losing or drawing every game (11 straight with a conference team, fictional players, had to avoid relegation) so I decided to run the season 'on holiday' telling the assistant to use the same tactics...

All game pre determine outcomes on certain things.Is jus how they are designed to work. On attack im getting plenty of goals from all my attacking midfielders. Rightside seems to be better than left with players getting 3 and 4 goals in games.

BLASPHEMY :P

What triggers players complaining about a lack of first team football? Obviously if they are not playing or not getting regular games then I can understand it, but I just had a player who, out of 12 games, had 6 starts and 6 subs, and complained he wasn't getting enough football. Another has...

Well i started again. I changed the way my defenders were playing but still lost in the community shield 3-1. Then I saw some comments about not using so many instructions, I think I was using 12, so I dropped all but two team instructions and instead looked at the roles I wanted my players to...

Well as i said, i've tried multiple tactics. The one I use most however is a 433 tactic where I opted for trying to outscore my opponent by lots of goals rather than by preventing goals. You guys are probably right about the tactic being overly attacking so i'll try something new and see. I...

Currently i'm using watford

Ok, in past FM's you've always been able to sign young talent with a lot of potential, but in this one it doesnt seem possible for teams not in the premiership. I cant get any player with a potential over 140 to sign with a championship team. Is there anything I might be doing wrong or is this...

Teams include Arsenal, Chelsea, Watford, Shrewsbury, MK Dons. Its the same for every team. Tactics vary but i've had most success with a 4-3-3 system.

Hi all, Only just got round to buying fm2012 so i'm working out whats good and whats not and there are two shooting issues that are bugging me. 1. Players right in front of goal, shoot the balls, and hits the corner flag, why the **** do my players shoot so wide all the time. Im not even sure...

Training When assigning coaches to aspects of training, is it best to have coaches training in multiple aspects or single aspects? I have always had them training their best aspect and all aspects have at least a 4 star rating. However, I find that players are not developing and that their...
