ericagradus · Sep 8, 2012

LFC Marshall has released an update (4 September) the final on the 15th September, with the summer transfers and league transfers and relegations for FM 2012.

Just about to give the Cov in league one game a bash...

If only this was really life...

More than rumours www.footballmanager.com, confirmed before christmas

CovLis86 · Sep 9, 2012

They always say that. Expect it within first couple of weeks of November

On FM12 the CPU always gets Cov relegated first season without fail (or more accurately, with it) whereas I finish comfortably mid-table as a bare minimum. Proof if needed that I'm smarter than my PC, even if it knows more words.

Oh nuts I wish i'd got this on the Steam sales now, it was only about £5.

Not paying £20 for it now though, will wait for the next sales or just for 2013

The FM Weegie update on Sortitoutsi.net seems to be the most comprehensive update I've found so might be worth a look before you embark on your glorious League One campaign.

Speaking of which, I don't want to throw the 'next Cov manager' betting field in disarray by introducing a surprise candidate, but:

Obviously the update has just taken a Championship team and plopped them in League One so when FM13 rolls around proper we'll be adjusted accordingly and depressingly.

Ahh the downfall to that game is I found a tactic where Malaga scores 3 every game from corners, think it must be a cheat yet all I done was used the tactic editor. I'm bored of it now cause I win every game. :facepalm:

covcity4life · Sep 10, 2012

never had that happen before!

Joelly · Sep 10, 2012

Starting this now and in pre-season. Only signing made was Lenny Nangis on loan from SM Caen. Lets do this.

Try and get Niang too and also Sanogo on loan, dynamite together. Lalkovic from Chelsea too. Lenny Nangis is the man too AMR for me with him from the start. They will win you glory

Edit: Don't be put off by their stats, in League One and Championship.... they rip it apart.

ajsccfc · Sep 10, 2012

Using the Weegie database I cancelled McGoldrick and Ball's loans (we were paying £6000 per week for both) and got in Rob Hulse and Chris Wood for season loans paying big fat zero per week. Jennings' cover came in the shape of Jay Tabb, and Herita Ilunga on a freebie for the tricky left-back slot.

Eight league wins out of eight and beaten Norwich en route to the third round of the Capital One Cup. Unless I've magically stumbled on a bug that makes big Will the 6-goal centre back he is so far, I'm having a hell of a honeymoon period. THAT'S how you do it, Shaw.

05rengla · Sep 10, 2012

Anyone got to link to where you can download this update?

ajsccfc · Sep 10, 2012

Here's the one I'm using - http://www.mediafire.com/?tsy6jzx86ddolgv

Save it in the 'editor data' folder and enable the file when you start a new game.

ajsccfc · Sep 10, 2012

Lost to Spurs in the League Cup, but on the upside:

That's how you do it Hoffman. Fiction > reality, yet again.

Joelly · Sep 10, 2012

Brought back bigi on loan for the season and a Moroccan left back.

Then have 5 or 6 very talented u18s brought in from various places for free (already building for the future). Currently 3rd but got knocked out of the JPT by fucking Bradford on pens ffs.

covcity4life · Sep 11, 2012

lenny nangis? i have in my chelsea team! how you get him? he must only be 17,18?

Joelly · Sep 11, 2012

17 on loan, loan fee of 50k i think too!

skybluebeduff · Sep 12, 2012

On the set piece editor in game, move the strikers to half way line(or just one) and bring BOTH CB's to each post, set the corner taker to always aim at them defenders, watch the goals fly in, your CB's will be you top goalscorers

Edit: make sure them defenders have heading stats at 15 or above.

covcity4life · Sep 13, 2012

i won the champions league with chelsea last night

nangis was suspended for final poor chap,so 35year old adebayor lead the line!

ajsccfc · Sep 14, 2012

So the league position might be rendered slightly artificial with it dropping Championship Coventry into League One, but ain't no faking this:

I'm King of the World!

LFC Marshall's final summer update out today

CovLis86 · Sep 15, 2012

The Fm 2013 release date gets announced in 2 weeks.

skybluebeduff · Sep 15, 2012

I would like someone to beat these stats....... A challenge to you all

Nonleagueherewecome · Sep 15, 2012

This thread sums up why I stopped playing FM: it's just too darn easy!

ajsccfc · Sep 15, 2012

No way, I'm just that good. I don't remember if my PSV team ruling the football world a few years ago ever made the news, but it should have.

Nonleagueherewecome · Sep 15, 2012

In particular their research when it comes to lower-league players leaves a lot to be desired. Same for youth team players, whose positions & strengths they often get wrong. And this is at least 3 out of the last 4 versions of the game that has had a huge corner routine exploit!

bamalamafizzfazz · Sep 15, 2012

I tried the update this week.

I'm playing with past experience as international footballer. It's a piece of piss. I'm top after 10 games scoring 24 and conceding 7. I'm Cov and beat Sunderland 4-1 and Everton 5-2 both away in the league cup. The Edge in defense has scored 8 goals in 12 games and he isn't even top scorer as Elliott is a machine!

You have to set the manager experience lower to make the game harder.
