i didnt even know the fa cup was budweiser now LOL
James McCarthy was p much my first big signing once I got the sugar daddy money at Leyton Orient on the last game.
LOL you don't need to tell me about scouting knowledge, I have that game DOWN.
If I was to go into that formation, it'd be:
Chesney>ReinaSagna>JohnsonGibbs>Bale (more attacking than Vermaelan)Kos>Kelly (how is he in the future btw? Same for Wilson, Flanagan and Robinson? Worth trying to get?)Alder>Wilson (feel like pace is important in your defending, so Merte and Juhasz wouldn't work)Bender>LucasAyew>AdamsWilshere>GerrardKagawa>HendersonGervinho>SuarezRVP>Messi
Di Maria, Valencia, Ramsey, Song, Theo, Verm and Arshavin not really fitting in. :S
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
oh man that formation would work for you. Why not import it as your 2nd or 3rd tactic and try it in a game against someone.
i taught you all you know about scouting son, the threads are still in the archives!
Kelly (how is he in the future btw? Same for Wilson, Flanagan and Robinson? Worth trying to get?)
Oh yes. Season or 2 in reserves with cup games in 1st team and a few league games then chuck them in the deep end. Worked well for me. Especially when tactical familiarity is 100%. (i used fmrte to getTic-Tac krunccrni standard to 100% as season had started (i won 1st 9 league games)and dont have pre-season to work on it) but keeping fmrte to bare min atm. fitness/injuries only.Won every game since i got this tactic and im 100% in march for wins. left it on holiday for 3 months overnight just to see how it would do and it won every game so decided to save from there and keep going lol.
just about to play man utd in champs league quarters.

Sven

i thought sam was using that as a nickname for someone, lol
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
I bought him at the start of the game for 6.75m to sure up my midfield post-Cesc, p good- not amazing tho. Tried to get Mascherano this summer but couldn't agree terms (because fuck agents.) and then Barca changed their mind and took him off the TL.

i'll tell you who is really good. Thiago of Barca. he was great when i was there. if he becomes available i'll maybe go for him.

everyone keep http://www.fmscout.com/c-files12.html bookmarked
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
this http://www.fmscout.com/a-football-manager-2012-wonderkids.html list looks pretty accurate. The ones with gold stars all have great stats.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:01 (twelve years ago) link
best young keeper ive come across is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thibaut_Courtois signed him for barca. When reina is past it i will try sign him for liverpool.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:04 (twelve years ago) link
signed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mateo_Musacchio for barca too. He's a great prospect.
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:05 (twelve years ago) link
how is wellington silva doing for you?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
oh cool http://www.fmscout.com/a-fm12-stadium-backgrounds.html has just been released
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:08 (twelve years ago) link
I sold him cheap to Bayern for the 50% sellon fee. Overloaded with attacking flair players and he has a shitty attitude.
Musacchio imo is exactly why I don't like those lists. Refuse to buy any wonderkids that won't potentially end up on an All Time Players list, as opposed to 'well if Baresi got injured, I guess he'd do alright' types. Baresi or gtfo.
Courtois is the guy Chelsea signed and loaned to Athleti, right?
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
i got him from chelsea yeah. He's #1 ahead of Valdes now at Barca. So im guessing i wont get him back
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
Musacchio is playing alongside pique. He might not be baresi but he's damn good for a cheap buy.

So do I get this straight: do I need to install a shedload of add-ons and patches for this to become playable?
Why can't they include all this stuff and let you tick boxes? Idgi. I'd like to play the 2012 version but it's such a hassle to do all of this.
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
btw i use it as 'windowed' if that makes any difference
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
yeah to get the stuff we're discussing here you need add-ons but its dead easy to do. get them here http://www.fmscout.com/c-files12.html
if sam and i can do it so can you. its well worth it. im enjoying it even more. it just looks so much better. Why didnt anyone tell me before that there was an in game editor to do all this?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
I know I can do it, I just think I can't be bothered. Is it so hard to release this game with all of this, or most of this, included? It's not like the game comes on 40 3.5" floppy's.
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
you really dont need add-ons. they are alright but dont in any way effect the game. unless you are kerr.
i hate backgrounds. they make the game slower and esp w/ ones like yours, the colours make it hard to see certain things.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:45 (twelve years ago) link
repost for you G
here are the ones i got and say are essential Grab them all.
http://www.multiupload.com/3V5RWAGFQ7 d/l it really quickly via megaupload and about to install it
You don't need to search the internet any further. AT FMFormation we have the perfect solution for you. The always expanding FMF Exclusive logos contain more than 10,000 club, nation and competition logos from all around the globe to add the extra something in to your game.
Last Year our megapack had 4000 logos, this year it has 10,863 logos and we are still working.
How to Install After the download just extract the file to the following file: "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012" Once you have done that go to your preferences tab and untick the ''Skin Cache'' box and tick the ''always reload skin'' box, then confirm.
create a graphics folder in "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012" ie "Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012/graphics "then extract to there then do the skin cache stuff and bingo.
2) real kits download both http://www.fmscout.com/c-kits12.html instructions on the page or copy them toWin Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics\kits\Win 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\graphics\kits\
if kits and graphics dont exist create them.
3) http://www.fmscout.com/i-1387-FM12-Susie-Real-Names-for-Clubs-Competitions-and-Awards-Fix---BETA.html
Extract the files and save them to this folder: Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2012\data\db\1200\lnc (actually go in via program files/steam etc. its different to where the 1st 2 apps listed above.follow the instructions on the page carefully. 1 & 2 before you get this one.
once you have them all
Run Football Manager 2012 and go to: Preferences > Display and SoundMake sure that you tick the check box on the page called 'Always Reload Skin on Confirm' and un-tick then box saying 'Use Skin Cache'. Hit Confirm.There should be a box that pops up saying 'loading image data for the new skin'. Once this is done your graphics should be working within the game.
easy! (it must be, i did it, and im computer illiterate)

other skins http://www.fmscout.com/c-skins12.html apparently these can be customised so that it will contain all the info you want on 1 page rather than clicking thru stuff but i dont know how difficult that will be to use. Probably beyond me.

oh holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!! i downloaded the barca tactic and fuck me its absolutely amazing. I had 80% posession. Messi (yeah i signed him for £100m) runs riot dribbling round everyone,the passes are superfast and movement is amazing and im tanning teams 7-0. Sam you NEED to get http://www.fmscout.com/a-barcelona-style-in-fm-2012.html

yeah none of that is essential, it is just fm-nerd shit and you can ignore kerr.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I've always played without extra kits/logos/player photos/backgrounds etc.
been reading this thread both with interest and a deep underlying fear that I am on the cusp of diving into this yet again and wasting three months of time... :-/
― Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
Kerr please, that's just not healthy anymore, it's overload
the pictures package that was 4gb that we spoke about earlier is great btw but id get the ones i posted above first
but honestly, theyre great! if you get them you wont regret it.
Sam theres other skins optimized for these backgrounds. Just not tried them yet. Game isnt any slower either

that looks horrible imo.
first four games of the season 3-1L v. Spurs, 5-0W v. Leicester, 3-3D which had to be save from going 3-1 down v. Pompy, 0-0 draw v. Newcastle.
Deserve to be fired if this continues.Got the players and the tactics to suit them, they are just aren't listening to them.

sir fergie! there was injuries i assume.
got rid of the stadium things because it was hard to read. everything else i installed works great

fuck this, i am resigning. fucking cunts fucking won't listen to tactics fucking fuck them. losing 1-0 to lever at home because they won't fucking close down a man who is running at them, or the guy standing in the box absolutely free for him to pass to. this has happened like 5 fucking times, of course they scored from it. fuck them fuck them fuck them.

Does Balotelli play with fireworks in the new version too, or do I have to download a patch for that?
oh thank fuck the first major update. knew there was a reason why today would be the day i start again. ok must remember to pay attention in march. wonder if i can use trial days to steal other teams trial players.

an update?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:48 (twelve years ago) link
Sports Interactive have a habit of releasing the game before they sort the 4000 bugs and usually release an update the week it comes out. Dunno, steam automatically had a big update, so I presume its that.
― a hoy hoy, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
ahh. that means i will need to quit the game then restart to get the update? let me know the differences.
