Football Manager 2012 - Official Thread - Demo Out Now

[g180aj]

i used to be an absolute pro on this game. i skipped 2011 though. just downloaded the 2012 demo and am struggling big time! its in depth now.

do people fiddle about with the tactics alot or mainly leave them as default. im struggling even with city. Aguero hasnt scored once in about 7 games!

Also one of the coaches keeps saying that we should be practising a number of tactics in match prep. I have two backup tactics but it still keeps saying it! any ideas on how to stop this?

ta

In my first season won league, lc, fa cup and europa got nocked outa champs with barca, lyon and dortmund in my group came 3rd with 9 points behind barca 11 and lyon with 10. sergio got me 31 goals nasri got 22 and silva, dzeko and vinnie got 15 goals silva had 36 assists. im in feb of my second season now undefeated apart from euro super cup sergio has 29 goals in 29 starts and 3 of the bench kagawa has 12 goals and 9 assists too signed popadopalus for 60 mill and he is worth every penny. jessim mahaya is at oldham for the season got 25 in 36 so far at 20 years old and vadillo is quality had to pay 12 mill tho(am) kovacic is good on the game as well.

The lad I posted on the previous page; Eduardo Jiminez, he bagged 62 goals in 55 in the season just gone (9th season). 46 were in the league. I had an absolute stinker though. Came 2nd in La Liga, won Spanish Super Cup, Club World Cup, Euro Super Cup and Spanish Cup but got dumped out of the Champions League in the last 16 to the rags. Was riddled with injuries towards the business end of the season, which saw me drop silly points in the league. I'd normally be pleased with what I won, but was annoyed at how poor I did in the league, Mancini's Barcelona won it by 9 clear points :-(. Starting 10th season now, making it my last with Athletic. Contracts up at the end of the season so hopefully I'll have a few decent clubs after me.

I just signed this kid as well!

A ginger Spaniard!

Oh yeah, after going 24 games unbeaten since 2017 with England, and taking them from 21st in the world, to 4th. I took them to Euro 2020. Topped my group, drew Austria in first knockout round... Got beat on penalties. Resigned straight away.

Took a job with Borussia Monchengladbach in the German league it took me 2 years to win the title with them. Now I am running down my contract 4 months left currantly 3th 4 points behind Bayern. Hoping to get a job in the Spainish league again and see if I can win that title beating Barca and Madrid on the way. Gladbach has some decent young players scout that club and there are some decent players a young squad that will get better as the years go by.Also I gave Andy Cole a job as coach and he is a top class coach his attributes are so high think I will be taking him to my new job in Spain.

Anyone who gets bored, Bilbao is great fun if you get into it, different experience to any other club.

With the impending loss of Llorente (33) and no like for like replacement around, i'm developing a newfangled formation to try and incorporate the vast array of very similar attackers i have. Early signs are fairly promising, if a little inconsistent, especially away from home.

Finally beginning to get the youth conveyor belt up and running:

New signing rescued from rotting in Real's B team, hoping his stats will shoot up with a bit of first team football.

Pretty worried at losing San Jose and Martinez in addition to Llorente in a few years though, no real physical players coming through so no idea how we're going to defend set-pieces and crosses.

Played it today and my laptop crashed when I was playing it. Has this ever happend to others. Was on a decent run with Osasuna as well took them over in my first full season there. But if this happens again I might well jack it in.

Is it just me or is the Spainish league the hardest league to win? If you dont pick 1 of the big 2 it just seems so fucking hard to win that league. I had some top class teams in this league and the fuckers have a knack of taking your best talent off you as well. As soon as they hear its Barca or Madrid they want out straight away.

Turn auto-save on, how many leagues are you running and can your laptop handle it?




Just loaded up my Newcastle game, almost in 2016. Currently first, almost January. Lost one game so far, was on a run up until December than lost against the shite at OT.

I only run 1 league at a time. Cant be arsed running to different teams at once my head will be all over the place. To be honest not too sure the laptop will be able to run many teams at a time. Just done my head in was doing well as well beat my main rivals then bam gone only have to play 3 games to get back were I was but its a pain in the arse when shit like this happens. I know I wont win all those games and my team was banging them in as well.

Being Linfield (N.I) and in every final possible apart from the European competetions. Lost to Carrick on pens in the league cup final which was a dissapointment. Though with a few games remaining I've won the league, only 17 points clear. In the semi final against non-league opposition in the Irish cup and beat shamrock rovers 6-4 on aggregate in the semi of the all Ireland cup and have bohemians in the final. So hopefully a treble. Going to try and work my way up in this save. Had an offer from Getafe but wanted to do the job at Linfield. Barnsley are interested in me so at end of season and hopefully with a treble I'll move on.

Just hit the 2016/2017 season preparations and I couldn't resist this, I was after a new inside forward to bench Sturridge for the upcoming season so I had plenty of ammunition for Europe and simply had to pick this lad up from Sunderland who were relegated the previous season, I should mention I'm Newcastle. Shat on from a great height, they're not happy!

Leaves my starting eleven looking a bit like this;

Can't wait to get the team back from the Euro's/holidays so we can start preparing for the upcoming season.
