FOOTBALL Football Manager Discussion

I know but I paid a bit extra so that I could start playing it earlier.

I don't get what you mean by I paid a bit extra. No one can play the game, disc or no disc until Steam's activation starts working on the 21st. When the game is released.
 
So it was a pretty embarrassing start to my time with Italy, as we drew at home to Ireland in a friendly game.
 
Can't quite believe that I actually lost 2-1 to Cruz Azul in the Club World Championship Final! The game was at 1-1 midway through the second half and Bosingwa then decided to give away a bloody freaking penalty! :facepalm

Over in the Champions League, got Lazio and going to play that tie later. Was hoping to get Teplice but Leverkusen will be the one facing them instead. Sunderland managed to get out of the group despite losing their first three group games(finished second) and will face Atletico Madrid in the Last 16. Tottenham also qualified for the KO stages by finishing second and got Real Madrid!

In the league, just got thrashed 4-0 by United at Old Trafford. Thanks to some hopeless defending and two own goals, I just suffered my heaviest defeat in FM! Thankfully, I played Coventry in the next game at home and managed to beat them 4-0 to improve the morale a little bit.
 
Have beaten Lazio 4-3 on aggregate. The tie especially the second leg was much more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. Thanks to my rubbish defence, they scored two goals from just three shots in the second leg! :facepalm

Next up is Lyon, again. With the first leg being played at home, I'm not quite comfortable with it because I've hardly kept any clean sheets lately and conceded quite a lot as well. Gonna tear up my rubbish defence at the end of the season IF I intend to continue the save.

Tottenham lost out 5-4 on aggregate to Real Madrid despite winning the first leg 4-2. Madrid now will face Sunderland! Incredibly, they thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-1 in the second leg despite losing the first one 2-0 at home!

The other two ties see Zenit facing Leverkusen and Barcelona going up against Bayern Munich. Fun ties all around it has to be said. :p
 
Our perfect season ruined by Madrid :(

We already had won the league though. But now I'm 33-1-0 from 34 games.

This award is rigged :facepalm

Also, why does it say Hazard has only made 29 appearances when he's made 32 league appearances (44 total including cups)
 
FM awards always rigged. BTW, did anyone try out the new game?
 
The average rating system in the game is totally crap and that includes the team's one at the end of every matches.
 
Got past Lyon 2-1 on aggregate in the quarter finals. Won the first leg 1-0 thanks to an own goal and I would have secured a 1-0 win at Stade Gerland in the second leg IF Phil Jones had not scored an own goal(another one)!

In the semi finals, had to face Leverkusen with the first leg at home, again! Won 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Rossi. Would have been 1-1 if Cech had not saved Ballack's penalty. Leverkusen then leveled the tie in the second leg with a fortunate goal before a late away goal from Hazard seal a 2-1 aggregate win, again.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid played Barcelona after both got past Sunderland and Bayern Munich respectively. Madrid won 4-2 over the two legs despite losing 2-1 at the Nou Camp in the first leg.

So, it's Madrid in the final and I lost it thanks to two long range strikes from Ronaldo which gave them a 2-0 win. Apart from that, there was hardly anything going on in terms of clear cut chances in the game. :facepalm

Overall, I'm kinda losing the motivation to play this game already. :lol

Is that FM12?

And I've started enjoying my Blackpool save again although I will resign at the end of the season no matter what but I might come back to it and guide another lower prem/championship side to title glory. I should do it until all the top teams are in the Championship :p
 
I never buy it until after a few months, I like keeping the same save game for ages but the game is always plague ridden on release, SI have a good online community that pull them up about mistakes and bugs so I'll wait for a couple of patches to come out.

looks ok, I skipped fm11 so a lot of it looks totally alien to me.

I hate the awards in old games, that looks even worse than normal though.
