The Malaga Sugar Daddy is a fun time.

Think I'm going to try a lower league save again. My Leicester City save was a ton of fun, but after failing in the EPL with them, it made me sour a little. Perhaps I'll try a different league.

Did you try getting a different job in that save?

For those wondering how Barca could offer me those numbers:

Both Bari and Aston Villa.

And both were extremely meh. I felt unattached to the clubs I was managing. I wish I would have stayed and stuck it out at Leicester but I didn't.

So they're allowed to print their own Barca bucks? Nice.

But seriously, almost 2 billion?!

That's...insanity.

After playing with Barca in previous FM's, it's freaking easy to make money. That's why I don't like signing big name players. I like developing youngsters and turning them into stars.

Starting as Barca now and I have selection headaches. Cesc, Sanchez, Thiago lol

When the Asst Feedback says;

It looks like player x isn't use to closing down or is use to closing players down less/more, you have to adjust the said players closing down slider but how far do you move it to get rid of said advice?

I've found that advice is often inaccurate, especially when they've been closing down for me for multiple seasons, so I usually don't mess with the slider.

Well, it depends on the assistant and how well the manager knows his team. This is why I always watch, and even scrutinize the friendlies in my first year as manager of a club.

If a either a player or a manager is new, it's hard to tell if he's playing in a tactic that is comfortable early on. My tip is that you can click on the player in question, and his name will show above his head, so you can always watch him, even when he doesn't have the ball. It also works for the ref and substitutes on the bench too.

I do the same thing, but I've had players who have been starters in the same tactic for three years and the assman (with great ratings and also managing for multiple seasons) still says they aren't used to closing down players this much. So that's the one area of assman advice that I tend to ignore.

Where's the best place to buy this game?

I dl'd the demo off Steam and fired it up for a while during Hurricane Irene.
