    How do you get these shortcuts in the menu bar?

    I've always liked the look of these shortcuts being in this particular place on the screen, but never bother changing skin and always thought they were built-in to certain skins. Is that correct? Or is there another way to get them? Can't find anything in preferences.

    Any FM13ers willing to de me a huge favour..?

    I just wondered if there is anyone out their kind enough to perform a massive favour for me that involves booting up FM2013 and taking some screen shots? I'm looking to examine the default player instructions from last year and beyond that we could see for each role. I don't have 2013 on my...

    Squad competition

    Does competition for places have an effect on a player's attitude in Football Manager? In the real world, it is a good idea to have good squad depth not only to cover for injuries but also to keep players in your starting XI (if you have one) 'on their toes'. A good example of this is the...

    A guide to choosing player roles in the attacking quartile - with fancy tables!

    I am doing this 'guide' partly for my own future reference, and partly to help anyone interested. I often find that, particularly if you are aiming to create a fluid tactic with a focus on shared responsibility and teamwork, over-analysing and over-specialising the roles you ascribe to your...

    Erratic Backspace

    After I use any formatting in a post (i.e. bold, italics etc.), the next time I hit the backspace key it often jumps like 50 characters backwards and deletes a random letter instead of the one I'd just mistyped. This has been a problem for me since I first started using the site x years ago, not...

    One-touch football - narrow or wide? And an answer to the age-old question of tempo.

    It's always been a hotly contested topic in FM tactical terms whether the tempo affects solely the pace with which your players pass the ball to one another, or if it has an impact on both passing-speed and build-up play (as in, how much of a focus your team places on 'attacking' or 'forward'...

    Older FM causing system shutdown

    Apologies for having posted this in the 2014 forum, but didn't want it to go unnoticed in one of the seemingly inactive older forums and I would really, really appreciate any help I can get. The other day I downloaded the demo of FM2007, by far my favourite of the pre-2012 versions. I got...

    A.I. trigger happy youth player purchases

    Has anyone noticed or does anyone else agree that AI teams in the game, particularly the big clubs, seem to be forking out an unrealistic amount of money for other teams' youth players? I'm seeing a lot of players move for comparatively large sums of money before they have even turned 18, and...

    Ever scored a corner?

    Only moments a go I had an Antonio Valencia in-swinging corner fly over the goalkeepers head, only to be cleared off the line by a defender - though it very nearly resulted in a goal! This led me to wonder, have any of you ever experienced scoring (or being scored against!) directly from a...

    Tie Breaker - Alphabetical?

    Playing international and in the 2014 World Cup Russia and Netherlands both finished on 4 points, with the same goal difference, goals scored and a 0-0 draw against each other. It appears there are no more criteria in game for sorting between two teams, so how has it been decided that...

    Pretty huge glitch - can anyone help?

    I am playing with two users as managers of different clubs (in the same division). With both teams I have given individual instructions to specific players each position. When I go onto the Player Instructions screen, I can see the players and their instructions from the other team in the...

    Individual training a hopeless attribute - is it worth it?

    Say, for example, I have a fullback in my Premier League side who is good going forward (which is what my tactic requires) with decent attributes in all the required areas for an attacking fullback, but has a Crossing of only 5, is it worth focussing his individual training on improving that...

    Jan Update

    Quick question: roughly when can we expect the Jan/Feb update? Is it just any time over the next few weeks or can anyone be a bit more specific? Thanks!

    San Marino Challenge - Best Ever?

    Can anyone link me to the some of the most successful San Marino Challenge threads/stories they've ever come across? It's one of the oldest and most notorious FM challenges and there are pages and pages of results to read through, so I wondered if anyone knows of anyone who's achieved notable...
