I'd say it'd run fine... Wouldn't be lightning quick, but not slow either. What graphics do you have? That will determine whether or not you can run the 3D graphics...

So why did my Newcastle team keep 19 league clean sheets last season?

A bad workman always blames his tools...



19 clean sheets doesn't mean anything... I'm doing ok in the league, that's not my point - it's the defenders reactions that are still shit...

I'm also finding there's way too many own goals... I literally have one virtually every game. Both for and against me - so it sort of levels out - but it's still annoying!!

Has the match engine been fixed yet!? I'm assuming not! As my defenders don't seem to have any reaction at all... Too many times is the ball passed/knocked/rebounded near them, and they just don't move to it. Strikers then pounce in, take the ball and score!!

This is rediculous - it's nothing to do with tactics, morale, stats or anything like that... It's just shoddy coding, etc!

Although I'm still persevering with the game, I am quickly running out of patience!

Sort it out SI!!!!!
#25969 Too many injuries

i went through a stage of having quite a injuries, but all better now... It does happen, and i'd imagine it's very hard to get the right balance. In real life, very rarely to teams have a fully fit squad with all players available...

I don't think one result makes a shit game... The fact that you've got as far as you have means it's playable... Freak results will happen in real life... Remember Man U Vs Bayern, Champs league final - 2 goals in injury time!?

It can happen.

However, I agree that the Match Engine / Tactical side of things need work. I wouldn't call the game a joke though...

Yes, thank you, I'll do the sarcasm if you don't mind.

I'm closing this and removing the download link. In future, ask before uploading modified versions of people's work.


:-) - Ok... actually Tom - while you're there.... I'm using your Steklo skin, (thank you very much) - but would like to change the attribute colours permanently so I don't have to keep changing in game... I won't ever upload anywhere else - scouts honour!! :-) Is there a way??

My god - so you edited something that someone let you have for free, and put in their name, so as not to get all the credit...How very dare you!!!

There's war outbreaking in Israel, but this.... this is something else!!! You should be hanged!!! I'd have you up in court charged on FM Skin crimes... you'll rot in jail for the rest of your life!!

Ok, so I've been playing FM for over ten years now, and have always been pretty good, I'd always make my own tactics, and training etc, and been successful wherever I've gone... But this game... I'm struggling, big time!!! I'm hoping it's all down to the Match Engine "bug" - As I've watched my tactics in action, and my players just don't seem to tackle, they don't track back, and they don't play well!!

Is it just me, something that's not quite right?? I've tried a few different tactics, tinkered around with them but still it's no better!!

I've just retired in disgust at my payers performance!!!

Anyone else having similar problems?? Admittedly I've only tried playing as West Ham (three attempts), and most recently Arsenal... but I now give up until a new big update comes out!
#22138 A few issues...

In no particular order:

My custom attribute colours never stay after closing and re-opening game - any way to stop this?
I use the Steklo skin, so I assume there is a file I could edit to do this?

The Match Engine still seems a little off - I concede too many goals from tight angles, too many from opposing strikers running through without my defenders following, and a few little issues like that.

Team talks - If I start as a Sunday League Footballer, my team talks have little to no reaction - I would assume that is because as a "unrecognised" manager, the players don't respect my opinion... I may be looking a little too much into it though.

Whenever I close FM, Windows says an unexpected error has occurred - Anyone else get this?

There seem to be too many goals in both my games, and AI games... I very rarely see a 0-0 score!

Team/player inconsistency - One game I will destroy a great team, the next I will draw or lose to a minnow - I know this can happen in real life, but ALL THE TIME!? - again, could be down to team talks, but I'm not convinced.

There may be a few others, but these are the only things I can think of for now.
#13984 BETA Vs Full Game

Does anyone know just how close the BETA version is to the final release?? I don't really want to get into a game just yet to then have to start a new game to get all the full/fixed features on release day...

I started doing a challenge the other day, but it's a cut down version, so not really interested any more...

So I'm a bit stuck, waiting now...
#10929 Steam Install

So... I've just pre-ordered FM 2013 via Steam, against my better judgement, as I like to have the DVD. But, I did it anyway, and may live to regret it unless....

Is it possible to force the file location of specific games else where? I have a SSD and HDD on my laptop, and want FM to be installed on the SSD - so... hmmm, wait there - Just checked - Steam was installed on the SSD anyway - so my problem is solved/non-existent - it will install on the C: / SSD drive. So why do I carry on typing / making this post I hear you ask?
Well, partly because "I've started so I'll finish" - but mainly as the question is still there, and I'd like to know... Can you specify where a steam app/game installs??

and, this just came to me - anyone that downloaded/bought FM from Steam last year - how long did it take to download on release night? Or could you download it early, and just not play it until 12:00am on release day? I may book a day off work, as I am sad, so would like to know I can play it straight away, and not be in a long line of people waiting for it to download.
