munf1987 Posted 26 October 2012 Posted 26 October 2012 The layout will take some getting used to. Think it'll be much better than the old one in time. I agree, loads of new features to get use to, I'm holding back from getting into a game at the moment, got it in my head in the final version Knockaert will be better than he is currently. Torn between a game with Leicester and Spurs / Everton / WBA
Ozwin Posted 26 October 2012 Posted 26 October 2012 Just wish the full game would come out now. Anyone know if the badges and that will work fine from last year's? Saves me from downloading them all again if so.
Finnegan Posted 26 October 2012 Posted 26 October 2012 Just wish the full game would come out now. Anyone know if the badges and that will work fine from last year's? Saves me from downloading them all again if so. They should work on any version. The code files that link from the images to the database entries hasn't changed in years. You run the risk of some being out of date but other than that, go ahead. I personally will just be dragging my whole pictures folder from 12 to 13 and just overwriting the kit packs.
Ozwin Posted 26 October 2012 Posted 26 October 2012 Yeah same. I thought with the skin being different it might muck it up. Also I look forward to our back and forths this year Finnegan you old dog you, although with training being updated I might have to actually do it this year

Also I look forward to our back and forths this year Finnegan you old dog you, although with training being updated I might have to actually do it this year I might come across as a nob at times but I'm honestly only ever trying to help. In my own way... Depending on what skin(s) you use, it may muck things up a little bit but for the last few years FM has been quite good and re-sizing and readjusting your images, so they might look a bit iffy but you won't break the game or anything. For example, I use the Trinity facepacks that are pretty large portrait size images. The standard skins didn't support the full size, I needed OPZ to get the most out of them (which, hopefully, there should be a 13 version of) but when I changed to the standard skin they still worked, they just shrunk to a slightly crap size.
The People's Hero Posted 27 October 2012 Posted 27 October 2012 Is the demo quite glitchy with big balancing issues as usual? I'm best off waiting for not only the full game, but the 1st patch, aren't I?
GLC Posted 27 October 2012 Author Posted 27 October 2012 Why is West Hams ground called The Boleyn Ground? and not Upton Park?
The People's Hero Posted 27 October 2012 Posted 27 October 2012 Why is West Hams ground called The Boleyn Ground? and not Upton Park? That's what its actually called.
The People's Hero Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Right, I've taken the plunge. Got a fancy to manage Port Vale for some reason, despite knowing nothing about them. Anyone got a recommendation/link for all the images/faceoacks etc. Looking at Finners here. Thanks mate
GLC Posted 28 October 2012 Author Posted 28 October 2012 Had to sign Rob Hulse on a free due to Ba and Jovetic being injured for 2 months and Cisse getting a 5 game ban for a sending off He scored on his debut against Reading though

Thanks mate If you've got any for previous versions of FM you can just transfer them over, if not http://sortitoutsi.net/graphics would be a good start
Finnegan Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 What Mark said. Also, I'm at breaking point, I don't think I can wait another week. If I start the beta and a save now, will I be able to carry it on the full game or will I need to star afresh?
Danizen Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Yeah you can. You could carry on from the demo in the previous games.

LCFC FOX Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Started as Liverpool, Anyone got any ideas of a good LW and a RB for them? Because Downey is hopeless and Johnson is out for months.

LCFC FOX Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Bernard? i've got him and he's a wizard on the wing, but he's a little pricey How much did you get him for?
GLC Posted 28 October 2012 Author Posted 28 October 2012 Just been sacked, no surprise really, lost my last 5 and now sit in 10th
Mark_w Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Can't really get into a game at the moment, not a fan of the GUI and have had a few glitches during matches, but otherwise some very nice additions.
Finnegan Posted 28 October 2012 Posted 28 October 2012 Oh **** you, SI. Chivas want 7m for Fierro and 11m for Torres.
GLC Posted 28 October 2012 Author Posted 28 October 2012 How much did you get him for? 20mil, all upfront
Ozwin Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Is this out this Friday? Can't wait to properly get into it.
Finnegan Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 What the **** have they done to training? It's nice being able to hire staff for more specific roles but training itself seems very dumbed down. Am I missing something obvious or have they ridiculously simplified training schedules? It looks like you just tell it what role you want the player in and it assumes attribute levels for you. Not keen on that, is there a screen somewhere I've overlooked? Good to have more feedback but not at the cost of input. Started as Dortmund which is a buck in trend for me because I rarely play with a club that starts as a favourite but I wanted to have Reus, Gotze and Lewandowski and I figured it'd give me a chance to sign a few good wonderkids. Little did I realize I'd get a 2.8m budget. Still, I've managed to squeeze Kara Mbodj out of it as well as two big, big tips for this season - Ademilson from Sao Paolo and Oskar Hiljemark who looks a stunning prospect. Heads up to all, by the way, Alan Dzagoev starts the game with an expiring contract. If CSKA don't tie him down by July you can pick up one of the best free signings you'll find on this version.
MooseBreath Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Might buy this when it comes out. I'm still on fm11, my game is in about 2040 and i just became the best manager of all time after starting in the non-league. Probably time for a change of scenery.
