Football Manager 2013

[Gazz]

Spoilers

Ernie III: English Invasion

[Lineker]

Oh yes.

[Pesci]

Aye, I'm only just getting into 2012 so I'll probably wait until March or something to get this one. Only things exciting me so far are being able to tell a loan player what role he'll have in your team and being able to choose what your director of football/chief scout/head of youth deal with. Might be interesting to try and play a game where you defer all responsibility for player signings and try to make a solid team out of whatever you're given. I don't like the new graphics they've added, though.

[Gazz]

If you all wait till March, who am I going to tonk online?

Lineker?

Pfft!

[Baddar]

Lineker?

Pfft!

Anyone you play - you big cheating tactic downloaderer.

[Lineker]

I don't have time to play with peons such as Gazz.

What sucks is that I'd love to play in an EWB network game, I just don't have the time to dedicate to one. At least with my own, I can play it when I feel like.

[Jimmy]

Ooh me! Pick me!

Pfft!

As if.

The only 'cheat' tactic at the moment is the 4-3-3, you could even win the league with Villa using it...

[King Ellis]

Challenges could be ok, I know a lot of people get the itch for FM but can't get into a full game. Like, I think Lineker was saying at the time that the EWB Challenge league was great for him but then it died out.

[Lineker]

Yeah, you bunch of dicks.

[Gazz]

Yeah, you bunch of dicks.

QFT

I'm only buying this to set up the Ernie game. Pentagon's gonna last at least another 15 years (real time). :/

[Dan]

I'm sure that's my name as the manager on the screenshots

[Lineker]

Eurogamer speaks to Miles

[Gazz]

I'm sure that's my name as the manager on the screenshots

The mighty Don Biggins?

[King Ellis]

I'm still sceptical as to whether merely moving to England will help Ernie but it can only help. A lot of people are pansies who can't manage in these foreign climes. I was wonderful with that Finnish team or wherever they were from.

Hail Bogdanovic or whatever his name was!

I just remembered that the challenge mode on the Android version at least, let you pick whatever team you wanted regardless of the scenario. 'Chelsea in relegation battle' indeed.

[Dan]

I'm sure that's my name as the manager on the screenshots

The mighty Don Biggins?

The PES version of me

[Lineker]

The 'You Can't Win Anything With Kids' challenge sounds good.

[Gazz]

It sort of sounds like the scenarios that came with Grand Prix Manager 2, 'You are Simtek, you have $50m and Renault engines, win the title... or else'.

I would heavily assume that you get given a Steam key and you'll just download it from there. Anywhere cheaper than that?
