Re: Football Manager 2012 : Wed Apr 18, 2012 5:43 pm  
FM2010 and FM2011 were far easier than FM2012. In 2011, I managed to win the Premier League, League Cup, Carling Cup and Champions League in 2019/20, and I had the best squad in the world by far. Yet in 2012 I have really struggled to get into a game. I've been sacked a couple of times (my defenders can't seem to defend, which means that I ship far too many goals) and atm I am currently playing as Scunthorpe in League One. The chances of being sacked are once again pretty high due to the lack of available goalkeeper or strikers. I have a good midfield, and a solid enough defence, but my keeper is awful and my strikers can't score. After being so addicted to FM10 and FM11, I am very disappointed with 12.

Occasionally......I'm in my eighth season with Chesterfield, third season in the Premier League, semis of the FA Cup, semis of the Europa League, about to play Inter!!

Biggest problem is getting the real top players to join me.....Most won't even discuss a contract, never mind turn it down!!.....Any advice?



Have you got that important Champions league spot yet? IMO, It's like the holy grail of getting top players to join you. Failing that, get some really good scouts and start developing your own. Get some newgens as soon as there countries intake is, should get a few potential wonderkids that also have the potential to become world class players. Hang in there.

Anybody still playing?


On and off.

I won the Championship with Swansea with over 100 points and over 100 goals, and am currently 4th in the PL having won all but 1 of my opening 6 games which was a 3-2 loss away at Champions Man City having led twice.

Playing a lot more now that I've got my new computer, it's definitely more addictive when the game is running faster.

In 2019 with Everton, just retained the Premier League so 2 in a row. I've got through to the Champions League Final (due to play At. Madrid) and FA Cup Final (due to play Man Utd) got to get revenge against United for knocking us out of the League Cup in the Semi Final.

Still got a lot of debt but while the going is good that is being reduced. Due to that debt I've needed to rely on signing promising youngsters and developing them, which has worked well. Of course I've had some that haven't lived up to their potential.

Unfortunately lost in the CL Final and FA Cup, oh well always next season and I'm sure the team will be better for the experience. Also turned down Chelsea who wanted me.

Stadium currently being expanded to 50,000.

Big enough, have pretty much all the leagues that the PC version does, it's just not got all the players from the foreign leagues.
Has all the Premier League players, all Championship and Leagues 1+2 and Conference leagues too.

Cool, shame you lost. Ive been reading a blog recently called footballmanager story and there is a guy on there that talks about something called a youth to gold system, it basically involves signing promising youngsters under the age of 21 preferably and grooming them into wonderkids and potential world class players. These should be ready to step up as 1st choice players are being sold, right in the middle of their prime, to guarentee maximum value from them. It's worked for him, he's got 120mil in the bank and he's just won the Champions League final with Scarbrough Town. Good reading, and I'm hoping to implement something similar with Huddersfield Town shortly. Need to get to Premier League and consolidate first though.

Currently in the 2013/2014 season with Basingstoke Town and have got them into League Two. Helps that Pablo Counago is willing to sign in Conference South and then bang in 25 goals a season.
