You can link in to your Twitter account from the game. As well as post your highlights to YouTube

That's technology for ya!

I don't like downloading demo's I'd rather wait for it to come out. How's it looking?

Just started a new one as Liverpool. Currently unbeaten in 16 league games, 6 CL games and into the Semi final vs Brum in the LC.

Team of:

GK Renia/ Cavalieri (went 999mins without conceding)
RB Johnson
CB Carragher
CB Danny Wilson (from Gers £4m)
LB Insua
DM Lucas
DM Mascherano
AMR Benayoun
AMC Gerrard
AML Babel
ST Torres

Bought Fleck (who has been a flop so far) but will make profit on him! 2nd in the league, 2pts behind Chelsea, drawing too many games but still going unbeaten. Topped the CL group on 14points.

I feel sick.

31 Games unbeaten = club record

94th minute vs Birmingham @ St. Andrew's. Blatant offside and they win 2-1.

It looks good. The interface is not a million miles from 2010, though as with all new versions it takes a little getting used to but I will admit it feels a little more instinctive as to navigating the game.

I'm looking forward to the full game

That'll do for me. I'm looking to it coming out this week. Like starting with a new version.

I prefer it when the style is similar anyway, I just like the updates and new features it offers. I'm not a big fan of a completely new game each time.

Just finished season 3 of my Bradford game by winning League One.

Going to need a major squad clearout over the summer though to get up to anything like the level needed to survive in the Championship.

First eleven at the moment is looking like:

GK - Ikeme (signed from Wolves)
DR - Kelly (Liverpool)
DL - Threlfall
DC - Downing (West Brom)
DC - McGowan (loan from Wigan)
MC - Potts (loan from Man Utd)
MC - Moussi (Nottm Forest)
MC - Ferry (Celtic)
AMC - Ritchie (Portsmouth)
ST - Nish (Hibernian)
ST - Arnoux (Everton)

Got a couple of promising young Spanish players in the reserves, Mode from Sevilla and Adri from Barcelona (regens I think).

pre ordered FM11 off play.com months ago, told me it would be here on day of release (last friday). still hasn't arrived. if i didn't want it on the release date, i wouldn't pre order it. now they've said it could be 3-5 days after the release date . plenty of other people seem to have had theirs on time.

Mate, the site is a waste of time. Ordered a book last Christmas, completely forgot about it, went on the site today and asked when would it arrive, they said 'we will get another batch in within a month'. Has it really taken them 12 months to bring in more stock for a book that had an order made 12 months ago?

Just go to the stores, all the supermarkets have it, the difference in price amongst the places is no more than a fiver. If you can't be bothered traveling, just download it via Steam.

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Mon Nov 08, 2010 7:57 pm  

was away in blackpool over the weekend with the girlfriend, expecting to be able to play it when we got home sunday night. actually had a look at the game box in game in blackpool, if it hadn't been on pre order i would've bought it there and then.

what has p*ssed me off is, instead of going back to work today, i used two extra holiday days so i could get a good head start on it and find some bargain buys/youngsters.

the speed of the postmen around here, if it comes tomorrow it won't be til after dinner. cheers, play.

Re: Football Manager 2010 : Mon Nov 08, 2010 8:33 pm  

Been playing it since Friday, I still can't seem to get a tactic to work no matter what I try, there was a good 4-5-1 I made but the players forgot you're supposed to put the ball in the net and not over the bar, 3-5-2 worked great pre season then got exposed in the league and 4-4-2 is pretty boring but I may have to give that a try next.

Good game though, and much faster than 2010.
