Football Manager 2014

[Gazz]

Some of the different packs have torrent links, use them instead.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Wow, those torrent links really do help. Never even noticed they were there before.

So a World League has been released via Steam Workshop and, from the comments/reviews, it is a pretty enjoyable little romp.

Anybody interested/fancy a net game?

2013, but I'll put it here.

I tried a little experiment yesterday to see how my FIFA UT would do as a team on FM.

As I use the Genoa home and away kits, they were my team of choice.

I removed every player already there over the age of 22 and replaced them with;

Buffon; Abate, Chiellini, Barzagli, Criscito; Muller, Gotze, Kroos, Gomez, Schurrle; Cavani

Plus guys like Santon, Ogbonna, Bender, Drogba and Dzeko in reserve.

Would they do well?

The answer was no. Shockingly bad in fact.

I managed 1 league win in 7. It was strange. Whatever I tried didn't seem to work. Players were getting around the 7 rating each game, yet they weren't 7's in front of my eyes.

So it begs the question...

Is it the team rep/ability that matters most, as opposed to the players? I kinda figured if I'd done this with say, Juve, I'd have been getting the results.

So sick of seeing the ball hit the fecking bar. I swear this bug happens EVERY year.

[Gazz]

You're both just shit

[9 to 5]

Well there is a woodwork bug in there.

I started my career game last night, let the game pick my team by random, okay, Partick it is. Let's make a good impact with this team despite looking like we will be lucky to stay up and let's be sensible about this.

Ten minutes later I am after getting Jari Litmanen on board.

I've come up with a cracker of a tactic.

I call it the Christmas Tree.

It's early days but the proof is in the pudding and I've just stuffed PSG as Newcastle. Even Cisse is scoring the gift wrapped chances HBA is creating.

Turkey.

[Whisper]

So just updating to 14.1.4. Is it noticeably different? Been reading indifferent things about it.

[9 to 5]

Full backs actually work.

[Whisper]

I didnt notice too many issues with fullbacks before, some poor positioning at times but nothing game breaking.

Admittedly though, I didnt play all that much on 14.1.3.

[Benji]

Full backs actually work.

I've not noticed that they do, but maybe that's because mine suck

[9 to 5]

Well, my two full backs are like the best two players I have. >_>

I made something like this once in a previous game... 4-3-2-1, all down the middle?

[Benji]

Yeah, Christmas tree is a pretty common formation.

[9 to 5]

I used to play that alot, either 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-1-2 depending on players I had.

We're getting all set for a Terry Venables comeback

[Noah]

I saw this reduced to $57 at eb games today. If its reduced further during the online eb mass sale on Monday, ill probably get it.

It evolved somewhat...
