Sir Alex Ferguson: The Career

[fuelledbypassion]

Enjoying this so far, some good results too. Keep it up!

Well done on the Rangers win but your team need to buck their ideas up and be a bit more consistent.

Yea. We have brutal defenders! Combined with the beta's questionable match engine it just leads to shots on my goal. Hopefully with an update due over the weekend results should improve and become more consistent

 

[W4NKER]

Oh! Update out now I hear. Will install now and continue this.

Yep, everyone is having problems with their defence though. I've been reading through the ME change list and it does sound like they're improving general defensive and goalkeeping AI since it has a lot of fixes for highly noticeable and highly frequent defensive and goalkeeping mistakes.

How can you resume the game after the update? Will it automatically fix the bugs on that patch??

SHould do. All match engine changes are saved game compatible

Yeah so are you going to go from East Stirlingshire > St Mirren > Aberdeen > Man United? Or skip St Mirren again?

Yes I hope so. Have done this career on FM08, 09 and 12 but never managed to get the St Mirren job once! ha

 

[W4NKER]

I'll continue this once I sort the tactic out. Nowhere near as effective since the update

Glad you're doing this again, loved it in 12

Alex Ferguson Programme Notes

With two home games we really should have cemented out play-off spot. However more lapses at the back mean we slip further behind the front two and are within touching distance of the teams behind. We must buck up our ideas! Quickly!

The team need to pick themselves up.

Whilst our overall form improved I’m still unhappy at our poor home form. Turning draws into wins is a must!

Alex Ferguson Programme Notes

Well our home form picked up at long last! Following recent home performances I was thrilled to see a couple of boring 1-0 wins, especially as one of them was against runaway champions Rangers. Our form against them has been outstanding this year.

Having qualified for the playoff let’s aim to continue our rivalry with Rangers in the Second Division. Come on lads! Lets do it

Alex Ferguson Programme Notes

FANTASTIC! No one gave us a chance. They said we’d finish bottom. How wrong were they!? Admittedly there was some dodgy moments but the players dug in. Credit to them. Some are out of contract and will leave now as we rebuild for the Second Division. It’s going to be tough but I’ll move heaven and earth to ensure this club continue to progress.

[CantGetEnoughOfJelavic]

Congrats on promotion, just been promoted via the play offs too! Struggling a bit in the SD2 though! Good luck and KIU!

 

[Death Ball]

Well done, man. Interested on seeing the summer transfers.

 

[gogogo golem]

Well done on promotion and with Rangers in division three I think you may be able to get the St Mirren job this time round.

Actually just looked at the job centre for the first time as I wanted to do at least one season with each club. Turns out some managers are under pressure so I declared an interest.

First one....

That's great but the United one shows there's an employment bug in this game since I've seen people get the England job after achieving very little.
