Four years later, Nigeria has a strong squad and is fourth in national rankings. Through awesome forums and help with tactics, I have a good enough gameplan to actually win the World Cup in 2022 (0:0, 2-1 PK against Brazil. Epic watch. 2-1 PK! 2-1! Not 5-4! Not 4-3!). Awesome. I am now considered one of the greatest managers in the world; African Hall of Fame Inductee. USA fires their head coach. What would you do, stick with your Nigerian (World Cup Champ) team who you have no real affiliation with and try to win back-to-back Cups for another 4 years or move on to USA and try to achieve glory never achieved there, where the stakes are harder (I think ~20th in the world ranked)... on one hand, how do I leave a nation I just won the highest glory at, on another... come on, a chance to coach my country? How do I pass that up?

What Woud 'arry Do?

Steam has a sale going on right now for FM2012 for $11.99! That's 60% off. If you gift it for a friend on Steam it is 75% off and only $7.49! But hurry, it's only good for the next 45.5 hours. So if you are still on the fence, what are you waiting for?!

It's moments like this that the Steam iPhone app was made for.

Thanks for the alert. Does anyone know how this runs on the MacBook Air? Specifically, I'm concerned about the graphics requirement. According to my "About This Mac", I have this: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB.

MacroGuru · 03-07-2012, 04:06 PM

Hmmm, the demo didn't turn me into switching from FM11, but this price might.

Thx, bought it.

Blackadar · 03-07-2012, 04:48 PM

I'm interested in the promo, especially if someone wants to gift it to me and I'll buy them a $10 game of their choice. Yeah, the $11.99 price is nice, but I'm still a bit miffed that my FM 2011 doesn't work due to the copy protection scheme...

Send me your Steam ID (or whatever it is I need to gift it) and I'll gift you a copy.

Shepp · 03-07-2012, 08:40 PM

Looks like the latest patch got released today.

Big Fo · 03-07-2012, 08:54 PM

Are match engine changes just not listed anymore or were there none?

vex · 03-07-2012, 09:31 PM

I had no intentions on buying this version, but you can't say no to $11.99.

PilotMan · 03-07-2012, 11:23 PM

I think I'd like to get in on this one too. My last FM was 2010. Anyone want to help me out at the 75% level?

DaddyTorgo · 03-07-2012, 11:45 PM

Anybody want to, or shall I do it?

DaddyTorgo · 03-07-2012, 11:50 PM

Done PilotMan - what's your Steam ID?

DaddyTorgo · 03-07-2012, 11:53 PM

Anybody else before the deal ends??

SirFozzie · 03-07-2012, 11:57 PM

Sounds like no changes to the ME, they're working on a new one (for FM13?)

Thanks much for the offer moriarty, but I'm still a bit miffed at the security issues with 2011 and as such I've changed my mind - I've decided not to get 12, even for $10.

Oh boy - I thought the deal was ending last night.

27 hours to go on it.

If anybody else wants in, or wants to do the buying, go ahead and just post in here. I'm not sure what's coming out on Steam that I'm interested in game-wise, so from a practical standpoint it would likely be easier to trade games with others. But I can certainly just go ahead and do it too.

Haha - confusing enough?

SirFozzie · 03-08-2012, 11:00 AM

Just a reminder, as with all SI patches, you will have to go back in and delete all the lnc files if you want the German National Team, etcetera

Easy Mac · 03-08-2012, 12:00 PM

FYI, $6 at Amazon

Amazon.com: Football Manager 2012 [Download]: Video Games

sovereignstar v2 · 03-08-2012, 12:25 PM

Wow. It's now seeming like you are quite the sucker if you buy this game any time before March. Final patch and some sick deals.

Holy moly. That's a steal.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-08-2012, 01:23 PM

Looking at the Amazon page I notice that a Steam account is required for activation if you buy from Amazon.

Is there some connection between the two that I'm just stupidly unaware of? Is this common with Amazon game purchases?

dacman · 03-08-2012, 01:36 PM

Steam activation is a requirement for FM period. Doesn't matter where you buy it from.

Barkeep49 · 03-08-2012, 02:30 PM

Understanding I'm very happy in my current career (it's still probably the game I play the most) is it worth starting anew for $6?

Passacaglia · 03-08-2012, 02:49 PM

Geez, I was going to skip, but at $6, I might have to plunk down, even if I never have time to play it.

Thanks Easy Mac. Too good of a deal to pass up. I'm still heavily involved in a very good FM2010 game, but figured I would jump on this deal.

I bought mine from Amazon months ago. But as dacman states, all activation and updates occur thru Steam. I have had zero problems with that process!

MizzouCowboy · 03-08-2012, 07:13 PM

I almost pulled the trigger at $11.99, but at $5.99 there was no stopping myself. What a freaking steal.

Should be interesting going from '09 to '12. Now to decide if I really want to do another Maidenhead dynasty.

Oh and thanks for the link Easy Mac!

DaddyTorgo · 03-08-2012, 08:08 PM

Okay - so someone sent PilotMan FM already, so I have a gift copy that I've purchased for the next person who wants it...

Qrusher14242 · 03-08-2012, 08:18 PM

dang, just bought it for $15 a couple weeks ago, never thought it would get that cheap

SirFozzie · 03-08-2012, 08:36 PM

Looks like another minipatch just dropped for FM (and yes, they put those @*$_@% LNC files back again,s o go and delete them again)

JonInMiddleGA · 03-08-2012, 08:52 PM

So if the demo runs fine, should I be confident that the full game (i.e. with a reasonable number of nations/leagues) would run as well?

Wolfpack · 03-08-2012, 09:36 PM

I'm finally taking the plunge on FM. No idea when I'll play it or how much, but snagging it for $6 makes it almost embarassing if I didn't get it.

MrBug708 · 03-08-2012, 10:18 PM

Geez...I should have waited

JonInMiddleGA · 03-08-2012, 10:21 PM

Just bought the Amazon deal myself.

Will have to load/play on my son's laptop but at this price it was pretty much irresistable.

This exactly. I thought about all the dumb things I spend $6 on and this seemed like money well spent.

Someone else hit me up for it already. Want me to grab you another copy though? Still 13 hours left on the deal.

Or I guess the Amazon.com deal is even cheaper at $6 right?

Passacaglia · 03-08-2012, 11:19 PM

Yeah, I'm going Amazon. Thanks, though!

Ajaxab · 03-08-2012, 11:24 PM

$6 is a steal, but I'm so attached to my FM11 career...decisions.

BYU 14 · 03-09-2012, 12:58 AM

Its very deep, but IMO even as you are learning it is a lot of fun. You will develop a knack for tactics and training with experience, but developing as a manager is part of the allure.

Even if you are not a big soccer fan or don't know all the ins and outs of the game, it is still very addicting and immersive and for $6 you can't beat it.

Young Drachma · 03-09-2012, 02:39 AM

Yup, same here. I almost bought it a week or so ago at $20 and the site I tried to buy it on wouldn't let me. So I just gave up. Glad I did.

Is it just a matter of deleting those LNC files completely to get the real German team in the game?

GoldenEagle · 03-09-2012, 10:27 AM

Easy decision. Can't pass up a game like this for $6.

Buy the game now and when you get tired of your 11 career, starting playing 12.

You have to delete the lnc files and replace them with the Suzie "Real Name Fix" files.
