    UPDATE 13.2 RELEASED for Football Manager 2013[/h]
    I’m very pleased to be able to announce the latest update for Football Manager 2013, 13.2 is now available. As always the update is save game compatible allowing you to continue your current save game, and we’ve provided a change list below.

    To update you will need to close the game down and re-launch for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam.

    Once updated the version number will be 13.2, more specifically the full version numbers are listed below:

    PC: 341019
    Mac: 341027

    As with the previous updates there are no database changes, if you start a new game the database number will remain 13.0.0.

    Also please bear in mind the two new challenges available for FMC mode will not immediately appear in the store as this may take around half an hour due to our product’s cache. You will also need to exit and re-enter the store to update the catalogue after this time.

    So on behalf of everyone at Sports Interactive I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and we hope you continue to enjoy Football Manager 2013 long into the New Year!​

sweet, just logged on to steam :)

Seems to be loads of tweaks to the match engine which should silence the moaners for a good 15 minutes until they lose a game.

15 minutes WITHOUT losing, as if!! (6)
 
anyone noticed the difference in a match yet?
 
Well, I was losing 2-1 to Blackburn with Aston Villa when I had a ...crash shall we say... and after the update I won 1-5...

However, I also got a shitload of new news messages from my subscriptions I never had before, about clashes between teams in the Jupiler League frex "Easy win predicted for SC Veendam" which I never got before, just more generic high level news items.
 
yeah I'm getting 50 e-mails a day about predictions for every match in every league...anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Just unsubscribe from it on the right.

Played my first 3 games, won one 4-0 away at Sunderland with 3 goals from set pieces, then lost 4-0 at home to Chelsea with 3 goals from set pieces and one absolute belter of a goalkeeping error (very basic handling error). Has anyone else noticed anything similar with lots of goals from set pieces?

Now that I've updated the game could anyone tell me what this exploit was?

It wasn't very well known, I wouldn't know about it if I hadn't looked in the SI bugs forum but you could accept the demands of a club and then go onto change transfer offer set it to £0 but then not press the make new offer button.

IMO, set pieces where underrated in the previous patch. I only had 3 free kicks resulting on a goal, in 55 games!! And corners, i had 11 goals, 1st post routine with Vidic. Without Vidic, zero!

Now (don't have installed patch, still at work) i aim for the 2nd post and i don't get nothing, it's ridiculous!

If they are as you say, then we have to give it more time in training.

When you accept, you say, which as no logic, since we want the money! What kind of exploit is that?

What do you mean? Here's how someone did it step-by-step:
1. Make offer for player
2. Get other team negotiating
3. When they get back to you press 'Accept Demands'
4. Then you press change transfer offer
5. Put initial fee to £0 and remove all clauses
6. Exit screen

I have to say how that worked I don't know.

Your words where misunderstanded. now i get it
 
I am reasonably pleased with the ME now...the flow of the game seems so much better!
Three things though...
I lost two an drew one :(
My keeper is now throwing himself at EVERYTHING! Doesnt seem to matter how far the shot is going wide, he still does a "brilliant save to tip it round the post".
When the oppositions winger/wide player has the ball near my touchline..all **** breaks loose in my defense! On four or so occasions my CB's, LB CM an anchorman have tried to close him down (which kinda ends up lookin like a chase scene from Benny Hill or abit like the conga dance) leaving 1 FB in the middle to mark 3 or 4 players lol
Anyone else notice this? It may well be my tactics need a little tweakin to compensate, as this never happened before.

Other than that..it seems an excellent step towards a great ME :D
