Dearest FM Players of OS,

I regret to inform you my Dresden save became the victim of a critical Windows error. (my own fault) I hadn't saved for two days, and the whenever this happens I feel the fun gets sucked out of the save, So I need a new challenge, so over the next two days, go ahead and submit your challenge, if I feel it's worthy, or if it gets a ton of likes, I'll do it and post results. With FM 14 coming out soon, I've only a month(So about 4 years game time) to do so, keep that in mind.

Thank You,

The guy who plays FM far too much because it's a great kidsitting distraction

I never learn. I also hate a messy save window. My last 4 or 5 low level games have crashed on me (I reinstalled FM fresh and forgot what setting I had to change before to stop the crashes in-match.) It's really thrown me off.

Tweaked the settings a bit and made it through a few games so far with no crashes. Fingers crossed.

Playing as Ruch Chorzow in Poland. Picked to finish 6th in the season, though we are in the Europa League. Here's my first Europa League match (and first competitive match of the season.) Looks good to me, though if I get through this round I get Zurich.

I really don't get why it's so hard to manually save after every match. It takes 30 seconds at the most. I mean, it's your game, but you always grind my gears when you're in here complaining about it when the solution is so damn easy!

I was saving before a game actually, and my computer encountered a critical error, that's how the save got corrupted :/

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

So my striker, Jack Midson, who led the league in goals last season had 7 goals in like 18 appearances. So i had a chat and told him he needed to pick it up or else I'd replace him with a younger guy. The next 2 matches he scores twice in each.
One was a 3-3 draw and the second was a 2-1 win in the FA cup first round.

Unfortunately all of my guys are made of glass and twisted ankles have them out of commission for 6-8 weeks (>.>)

Oh no guys. My life may forever be changed.



That's my tablet. This game is set up very very well to work with remote desktop programs, and I found a pretty solid one.

My game database? Yeah, I normally go with 91 leagues from 36 nations.

How are the challenges?

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

.... those load times(though i play on a laptop)


Right now Stoke is going surprisingly well, even after being rejected by everybody I wanted to sign, I'm 2-0 and have won 3-0 vs Sunderland and 3-0 vs Swansea.

Check that, 3-0, just beat Reading 2-1, up to 19th!

Check that, 4-0 handled Aston Villa(and Pulis!) 4-0!

Well, this is going to come to a screeching halt I imagine, vs QPR, vs Man City, vs Chelsea, vs Everton are my next four fixtures.

Well don't mind me guys, just gonna go 6-0 and beat QPR 2-1 and Man City 2-1.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Does the game process quicker with more leagues or more players? I've never had the patience to test it. I normally go for 2/3 leagues but I have around 90k players on a custom database, which is essentially the best players from each country.

I'd say this is a quick update on Portadown but I've only just come back to FM after a little break, thanks to GTA. I've just had my worst European season, going straight out to Swedish side Djurgarden 1-0 on aggregate in the 2nd Qualifying Round, which also means no dropping into the Europa League. I've responded by winning 10 straight domestic games to start the domestic season. This is going to be a long, boring season. Hopefully set myself up to capture every domestic trophy though.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Processes much slower, depending on your computer set up.

I have a pretty beefy rig, so the slowdown is there but it's not terrible.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

If it wasn't for Windows 8 near non-existent footprint, I couldn't load the 8 countries I do in normal saves, lol.

Lost to Chelsea and Arsenal, drew with Newcastle and Everton beat Southampton, and I'm sitting 15th in the BPL.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

So my goalie broke his finger and one of my younger guys i was going to use as a sweeper after i had a lead got hurt at practice.



So my defense is awful AND i have a 17 yr old goalie. and no transfer budget... and nobody wants to loan my players either hmmmmmm

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Survived! Finished 13th with Stoke after beginning the Challenge 16 points from safety.

Next up: Injury Crisis, which I'll be completing with either Hannover or Inter, I'm not sure which. Maybe even a french team.
