Football Manager 2013

[SuperRickyFuller]

Update to 13.0.2 is available now via Steam

"First of all we just want to thank everyone who has posted on our forums or contacted us via Facebook or Twitter since the beta was released. We’ve had a huge amount of feedback which have proved incredibly valuable in the development of Football Manager 2013.

Available now for you all is an ‘update’ of the pre-order beta, if you have automatic updates on your game will update the next time you open Steam (if you’ve got the game open now, shut it down and then re-launch the game and it’ll update). If you find it is not updating at all, try verifying your game cache as instructed in the FAQ HERE

Once your beta has updated it will make your version number the following:

PC: 326362
Mac: 326348

Included are a number of fixes listed in our ‘change list’ below. Bear in mind if you’ve raised an issue and it’s not been fixed for this update that does not mean it won’t be fixed for release. Although this is a beta update, this version is still a ‘work in progress’ and is not complete.

Just a quick disclaimer that although we try to include as much as possible, not every single fix which has been made has been included in this changelist, only the major issues raised. Thanks.

Nice, time to start a proper save I think.

If anyone wants the FMC skin are normal check this out. I think he is ironing a few issues out stil but should be ok. The default skin is horrendous, I cant be doing with SI skins on any FM.

[One-Two]

3-2 down, one minute left, on overload. Shawcross and Huth passed it back to Begovic 7 times, no-one even try to get into their half

[SuperRickyFuller]

That pisses me off, there's never any fucking urgency

[SuperRickyFuller]

Didn't need to sign a striker but I've signed Fuller

[Butters]

Another FM, another year getting butt fucked by Yarmolenko. The basterd signed for Arsenal.

[Ribanjo Fuller]

You know when the tactic that worked great last season suddenly doesn't work anymore...

[Butters]

;D ;D

My 4-2-2-2 tactic from last year is doing pretty good, although i've changed it slightly and had one CM sit back as a DM basically to accomdate N'zonzi. Currently sitting in 7th with a win over Chelsea under my belt.

[Butters]

Just scouted Sebastian Boenisch. He's rated as a good league 1 player.

In Pulis we trust.

[Ribanjo Fuller]

Gone balls to the wall attacking and turned it around.



Pulis is at Villa and 2 late Walters goals beat them, lulz.

[Deleted]

Is it now then?

It's reviewed at 9/10 on Eurogamer

[SuperRickyFuller]

One thing that fucking pissed me off yesterday when playing it was seeing gash teams like Brechin, Dumbarton and even non-League team Cove Rangers play quick, expansive, one touch football like Brazil and not seeing any of my midfielders close them down

[Butters]

I've had 5 penalties so far and every single one of them has been fucking saved.

Only missed two in one and a half seasons

About right

[Ribanjo Fuller]

Just spent two hours playing, beat Arsenal away, sorted out all my contracts and finished the transfer window. Didn't ask me if I wanted to save when I quit so I presumed it must have just auto-saved.

It obviously hadn't, fucking waste of time.

[SuperRickyFuller]

Thought I was getting somewhere with my own 4231 tactic but after two pisspoor draws and scraping past Morton in the Scottish Cup, it appears I'm back to square one

Defensively, it's an abomination. Going forward though, it's not too shabby

[Ribanjo Fuller]

FFS Huth

[Ribanjo Fuller]

Fuck off Arsenal.

[Butters]

What the fuck are Sunderland doing up there?

[Ribanjo Fuller]

They were top of the league for ages, unbeaten at Christmas. They haven't even signed anyone really, bizarre.
