Tokyo-Saint Posted 2 March, 2014 Share Posted 2 March, 2014 Yep - couldn't stop it updating because as soon as I loaded steam to turn off auto updates, it started up dating. 4 games in, 1 home match I should have won - drawn, out of the champs league and 3 defeats. Cheers Dobs! I am not against an update, just don't want to update something that will mess with the match engine at a key point of the season. I hate you football manager.

Black Sea Saint Posted 5 March, 2014 Share Posted 5 March, 2014 Another update! Damn, I'm in the same boat as Tokyo, absolute nightmare. Why do FM do this? I've built an entire team around a tactic that no longer works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 5 March, 2014 Share Posted 5 March, 2014 Would it be too much hassle for them to have a pop up asking 'Do you want to update now' with a 'don't ask this again' button, like they do for every other useless pop up in the game?

Matthew Le God Posted 5 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 5 March, 2014 You could have started a new save game to test out your old tactic in the new match engine, made tweaks to it and then used your adapted tactic in your old save game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sea Saint Posted 7 March, 2014 Share Posted 7 March, 2014 actually the only major difference on the new update is that I can no longer score goals, despite having 50m of talent upfront. So far this season it's been 2 nil-nils and a 1-0. It's like managing Arsenal or Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted 20 April, 2014 Share Posted 20 April, 2014 In my third season with Saints: 2013/2014: 6th - Premier League Winners - FA Cup (beating Arsenal 2-1) 4th round - Capital One Cup Top goal scorer - Andre Ayew 13 Top rating - Dejan Lovren 7.59 2014/2015: (Katarina injected an additional £40m into the bank to top up my £18m, safe to say I went on a mad one) Lukaku, Ranocchia, Zieler, Subotic, Walcott and Barkley all joined the squad. I made £11m by shipping out the likes of Sharp, Fonte, Cork, Davis, Gazzaniga, Lambert, Boruc. Then imagine the smile on my face when Valencia offer £17m upfront for Dani Osvaldo! Winners - Charity Shield (beating Man Utd 1-0) 6th - Premier League semi-finals - FA Cup Winners - Capital One Cup (beating Everton 5-4 pens) Winners - Europa League (beating Barcelona 2-0 in Tibillsi) 2015/2016: I had all of Europe's big boys sniffing around twelve of my squad so decided to cash up and play with the strategy of only using English players from the academy. We raked in a whopping £292M in one window. Luke Shaw and Victor Wanyama headed off to Paris for a combined £70m, Lukaku joined Juventus after they matched his minimum fee of £35m Lovren joined Inter for £28m and Ranocchia headed off to Madrid for £25m. Andre Ayew joined Atheltico for £17m whilst Morgan signed for A.C Milan £29m. Gaston also departed for Italy for a fee of £29m and Martinez headed back to Porto for £11m. Finally Robert Zieler signed with Dortmund for £19m and Neven Subotic left for Spurs all in one summer. I brought a couple of English players in to back up the squad (Ryan Bertrand, Alex McCarthy GK, Will Hughes, Eric Dier, Magnus Thomas). Team currently looks like: McCarthy Clyne Chambers Dier Bertrand Ward-Prowse Reed Walcott Lallana/Barkley Simms Gallagher/Jay Rodriguez We have a Super Final versus Juventus coming up but have to play Liverpool and Cardiff first in the league.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 22 April, 2014 Share Posted 22 April, 2014 Not too sure how I feel about this. I recently made the leap, and became a mac guy. Transferred over my Derby file and cracked on. Had a decent summer after a 3rd place finish, with some good acquisitions and came flying out the traps. Looked set to have a real go at the title. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, I had my bag stolen and the beautiful brand new mac book was gone (along with iPad & headphones - the latter of which were a very nice xmas present). After a period of mourning (yes I became one of those guys very quickly, back on my knackered old dell now and I positively hate it), I decided to boot up the file from where I was. Miraculously had a storming end to the previous season, and won the league (also thanks to Arsenal unexpectedly losing to an already relegated Sunderland on the final day). Gone an an epic spending spree, though squad looks pretty similar as it did prior to the loss of the macbook. Does this consist as cheating?

ant Posted 23 April, 2014 Share Posted 23 April, 2014 Anybody given the Vita version of Football Manager Classic 2014 a go? By all accounts it's a faithful recreation of the PC version (and has cross-save functionality) but is slower and requires a stylus to get the best out of it. I'm teetering but we've never had a speedy PC at home so I haven't ever been bitten by the FM bug.

That said, I still bloody loved it. Yes, it does make it slightly better tbh, I may well get a Mac at some point to complement my existing setup. They are pretty nice machines for everything apart from gaming or Android connectivity; I've still got the PCs for everything else. I don't see the point in cheating. It's just pointless, where is the challenge? This wasn't intentional. I'm with you on almost every other game (unless it's broken!). However, with FM I genuinely feel like it can be too damn random. Oh, didn't win anything this year? Never mind; just spend another 14 hours of real time trying next year, yeah? I've long said I'd like a mini-version of Football Manager (smaller than classic, even) that just tells me how great I am at managing football teams, even though it's demonstrably untrue.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 24 April, 2014 Share Posted 24 April, 2014 I was reluctant at first, but the love was pretty instantaneous. They gave me a pro, and it was just great. I only played a few games on there, and had no problems with any of them - though appreciate there may be trouble with some games. I guess the android thing could be annoying, though work provide me a phone and tablets which are both apple - so the syncing was pretty good (I know, I'm weak, I'm easily bought with shiny things).

I've not had a FM game since 09 as don't have time to sit at my PC, but being able to play it anywhere now is brilliant. The interface is a little tricky to get used to, but once you figure out how to do everything it's fine. I don't use a stylus but then I don't have fat fingers... Matches can be quite slow, but the fact a full version of classic is running on the vita is amazing. So far I've taken Saints to the bottom of the league with a 14 game winless run resulting in my resigning and starting a new game... Went for Eastleigh and won the league and got to fa trophy semis.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 28 April, 2014 Share Posted 28 April, 2014 Started a game a few weeks ago, and just finished my first season in 9th. Slightly disappointing but considering I lost Rodriguez, Schneiderlin, Lovren and Ramirez to proper injuries (minimum 5 months!!) by October, it could have been worse. Lambert has scored 33 goals for me this season (28 in the Prem in 35 games) which has been a highlight. Signed Fraser Forster in the January window, turns out he's utter sh!te. JWP has also done very well for me considering he's been shunted into whatever midfield position I was strugglling to fill. Got Manual Fernandes coming in on a free in the Summer, he's got decent stats so hoping he'll do a good job for me. Just waiting to see what money I have available to spend before doing a clear out of the remaining players I couldn't rid myself of the previous year.

Seen lots of people say they'll wait until FMC 15 comes out on the Vita with the inevitable refinements, but unless sales of this version are good I'm worried Sega won't give it the green light.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 22 May, 2014 Share Posted 22 May, 2014 I have two formations I flit between depending on injuries/fitness/form/opponent. Both working quite well for me at the moment. 4231: Sweeper keeper Cwb bpd bpd cwb Rga/dlp anchor Treq AM/SS Treq AF/TM Usually go Control, fluid. High Tempo, pressing, hassle, retain possession, short passing, overlap, roam. It's risky, can come unstuck sometimes bit have doled out some impressive spankings. Also use 41212: Sweeper Keeper Cwb bpd bpd cwb Anchor B2b dlp Treq TM AF Can't remember instructions on this one, though it is a bit more reserved. Usually counter attacking.

I am now about to start my 5th season having just won the league and the CL. I have just got the England job too my team -----------------------Szchezney (sweeper keeper) --------------------Marquinhos (CB) Stones (CB) Coleman (CWB)--------------Matic (HB)---------------------Gibbs (CWB) --------------------Henderson (CM) Wilshere(CM) -------------------------------Ozil (AP) ----------------Lukaku (P)-----------Rooney (AF) Subs Trapp (GK) Zouma Oviedo Will Hughes Ibrahimovic Matuidi Ramsey I do notice that you HAVE to change/tweak your tactics at the start of every season.
