Football Manager 2012 News & Discussion Thread

[rsnomar05]

Same deal as last year. Impressions/Dynasty stories can remain in the Official Thread, but any news/information about FM 12 and discussion of that news/information should go here.

Credit to Whitesox for all this info, but they announced the release date: October 21.

And they released a great blog on the tactics in the game:

Good looking tactics this year. I like being able to create preset changes.

I can't wait for this game. It's going to be a sick game with the changes they have planned. I'm still playing FM 2011 to hold me over though

Wondering if anyone has seen anything regarding these questions:

Are we going to be able to capture video and upload to YouTube from any point of the match that we want? Or are they at least going to expand our options to include key or extended highlights?

The only thing I really want is a way to scream at Officials and critisize them outside of Press Confrereces.

I want the option to slap players in the face when they whine.

Yep, I ready somewhere that we can upload any portion of a game, which is a nice addition.

I want the option to tell my players to purposely get yellow cards Mourinho-style.

Re: Football Manager 2012 News & Discussion Thread

This is a new title/genre for me - can anyone sell me on this? I enjoy PES and FIFA, but find them somewhat lacking; I enjoy tactics and that more than fancy dribble moves.

Re: Football Manager 2012 News & Discussion Thread

Then this is the game for you. Seriously this game got me into soccer and is so deep that it actually makes it hard to play any other sports game "franchise" mode. The addictiveness of developing your club and going on a hot streak (or ending a losing streak) keeps you busy for months! Download the demo and you'll see.

Re: Football Manager 2012 News & Discussion Thread

Oh my. This is amazing. Verrrrry deep.

Can you manage national teams in this?

When I go to the FM website, click the link to take me to stream, and try to download the demo I get sorry this isn't available in your region.

Anyone else seeing this?
