Football Manager 2014

[Gazz]

I didn't get the memo about the dissolution of the Netherlands Antillies.

[stokeriño]

I did!

...Seriously, it was important to my job at the time.

[EddieG]

I did, too, but that figures, as it was all over the Dutch news.

[Gorka]

Spurs' tactics in my game just seems to be:

Step 1: Give it to Lamela

Step 2: Run Lamela

Step 3: Lamela scores.

The Winter Transfer update has just begun downloading for me, so time to go back into the game and see how all of my favourite buys from the summer database are now either worse off or worth ridiculously more!

[The Lusophone]

My two favourite signings (Doria and Eder Balanta) both are a little worse off

[RazorsEdge]

Took over AC Milan who were languishing in 13th position at the start of the January transfer window. Now halfway through February and unbeaten in 11 games (except for a 2-1 loss at Bologna in the 2nd leg of the Italian Cup semi-final after a 4-0 win at home). Cannot heap enough praise on my newest signing, Mauro Icardi. Bought Inter's half of his rights for 6M Euro's as Balotelli has been injured on and off all season and not performing and I had shipped out two dramatically underperfoming strikers in Robinho and Pazzini so was down to Balotelli and the (also newly signed) Sebastien Giovinco in the striker ranks. An injury to Stephen El Shaarawy saw Giovinco move to AML and Icardi slot in as a lone striker and so far he has 6 goals in 7 appearances! Can't remember the last signing I made who had such an immediate impact and didn't require time to settle into the team.

This is £11.90 on Steam for today only, and apparently, Greenmangaming will have it listed at around £8.75 later on. Rude not to buy it at that price!

Well it's not as though he had a new league...or even stadium...to adjust to.

[King Ellis]

That just made me think, do you get to do the whole 'change the pitch dimensions' thing as Milan or Inter manager?

[Baddar]

I have this now!

I kinda want to do something different this year though. I always end up playing as United and getting bored a few seasons in. I tend to get motivated to play as a League 1/2 side and get them as high up as possible, but that interest soon wanes too, as I don't get as much time to play as I used to.

What should I try out? I'm also very open to getting a network game started with anyone who's interested, too. Had fun on 2013 with Ant.

Manage all the teams in a multiplayer game.

[METALMAN]

OR

Don't manage any team but go unemployed, view the highlights of all the Premier League games and pretend you are Gary Lineker and discuss each match with your invisible friends. Speak to Steve Bruce from time to time.

[Cymbols]

Manage all the teams in a multiplayer game.

I used to do that all the time! On 2006 I got through like 5-6 seasons whilst playing as every Premiership team.

[Gazz]

You sad bastard

[The Lusophone]

Said the "Mr Football Manager" branded pot.

[EddieG]

Anyone tried out the new "Encourage Agent Ownership" feature? Any idea what the point is?
