Football Manager 13

[Everz]

Release date has been set as the 2nd November 2012 but those who pre-order early can get a two week early access for the Beta, where the save games will be compatible with the full game.

However.. Wazz.. why no editor in Beta?!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Nothing to do with me!

Bastards, ruins the point of pre-ordering for me as the 'main game' is no fun these days. Editing in lower/additional leagues is the fun .

 

[Aoami]

i hope it doesnt take so long to come out on the pirate bay this year

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yeah that was a real shame last year, watching all the hackers and piraters cry because it took them a while to crack it. And then crack it again on every update

19th October for 'advanced beta' yes?

Bar the editor, what will I be missing?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Very little to my knowledge. I'm not sure on the exact details regarding that but you'll have a pretty much (if not) full game experience on slightly earlier code.

I read somewhere that there was DLC and shit with this one? True/false?

Fantastic.. 19th October bring it on

I read somewhere that there was DLC and shit with this one? True/false?

This is indeed true.. worrying news for editor tbh as I have a feeling SI will try and merch off 'additional leagues' as DLC.

They're 'unlockables' for the FMC which are also DLC, these range from no work permits to tycoon takeovers.

 

[Raven]

ergh, sounds dreadful then.

Other than the DLC, what has changed from previous years? I thought the last one was pretty good so it might be worth just updating the playerbase to this year or something.

 

[Everz]

On the 'main game' there is just a minor update to the playerbase and nothing else bar fluff.

There is a newmode called FMClassic which is taking FM back to the CM01/02 days of just setting out the team and going on, there even an instant result button you can press and the ability to plan out a match for this.

All in all, if you prefer the main game then it's nothing more then an update and a more confusing looking skin. Oh, and deadline day has some interesting twists now.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

FMC has unlockables which you achieve via playing. If you're shit or lazy you can purchase these unlockables. It's not striclty DLC and they aren't necessary things at all.

 

[Raven]

Ah right, that sounds better.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Anyone playing this yet?

 

[Gwadien]

Anyone playing this yet?

I might actually have a look at getting this one, I haven't played FM in about 5-6 years

 

[Litmus]

I started a game up, then thought I cba atm and closed it again, that's about as far as I got.

Fantastic work managing to bugger up what good you did on FM12. The match engine is horrible, it's like bambi on ice except it jumps alot and it seems that bothering with defense is pointless, which is great for LLM.

As for the skin, did you give acid to a toddler when designing this? It's an utter mess, far too much clutter and crap.

Honestly, I'm disappointed. You have alot of work before release or will it be the usual patch?

 

[Raven]

Might check it out in the steam sale at xmas, other than that I am not overly excited by the release (I have bought them all for the last few years)

 

[Aada]

Anyone playing this yet?

Any info on iOS version?

 

[Angrist]

Apparently my brother is included in the playerbase this year. Guess i have to buy it now.

[megadave]

I bought it a week ago but haven't really played yet, don't know whether to do normal or classic mode. Started a classic game, seemed a bit basic so I started normal game, seemed to complex so I quit

 

[Shagrat]

Been playing a fair bit this week getting quite into it again last two never really seemed to grab me, not sure whats different about this yet but its definitely pulling me back to play again.

Randomed my first team and am at Mansfield woohoo

25 games of the first season played and top of the blue square by about 4 points due to some inspired (even if i do say so myself) bargain signings. young keeper i managed to get is an absolute god between the sticks.

not had a single crash or problem yet. the only thing that annoys me is the interaction with other managers, need some more choices other than "hes the nicest guy in football" and the other one thats very similar as positive responses.

thumbs up from me

Guess I can't help you then. Where was it crashing? Sure it was legal, as the cracked version we know crashes ALL over the place. The shame.

 

[Ormorof]

if i buy the game do i also need the DLC (or whatever you guys are calling it) to get the full experience or is it just fluff for fanatics?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

DLC is only for FMC, and they are fluff really. Stuff like turning off transfer windows, turning off work permits etc. They're all unlockable in the game so you don't need to buy them, just if you're lazy.

 

[Ormorof]

then i shall be buying it the next time i am not broke! (so not immediatly )

 

[Everz]

Made a 'restructed' Scotland following the new system to be introduced in 14-15.

Lothian Thistle to glory!

 

[Everz]

I wish SI would stop fucking with the engine, so fucking tedious having to totally redesign a tactic after 2 days. You make it fucking worse each times, bunch of fucking morons.
