    I've given up playing until I get my new laptop for Christmas. No point in starting a league with only a few leagues when I can start a game in 3 weeks and use loads of leagues :D

    Just thought I'd give those of you that haven't bought the game yet (like me :o) a heads up that you can get it for £14.99 from HMV... link. Not sure what delivery costs are though

    No they don't, it's £2.50 per item and delivery takes far longer than amazon.

    Have this game now for the best part of three weeks but just cant get into it like I did with the champ managers of old.

    Last football manager I played and was addicted to was fm2007. Since then ive found them to be VERY hard get into.

    Say I create a tactic, will do well for the first maybe 5 games then say I could beat Chelsea 2-0 only to play wolves at home and not even manage a goal against them.

    For those of you who are doing well are you constantly changing settings and sliders for every game and formations, or can you find a formation and adjust the sliders accordingly to find a nice balance and leave it like that for the rest of the season?

    Your staff usually say the next team does badly against this formation, this width, this tempo etc. I just do what they say.

    I set up 3 reasonably different tactics in the match preparation thingy and use one of those based on the match itself (home/away, team I'm playing against, players I have available etc.).

    Is the "Qualify for the World Cup" achievement bugged or something in FM11? Seems no one has actually unlocked it...

    http://steamcommunity.com/stats/FootballManager2011/achievements

    Right down the bottom, same with "Qualify for International Competition".

    Would 3GBs of RAM be enough to run this game well on a laptop?

    You're lucky, you'll be able to play the game minus a gazillion bugs and flaws as 11.2 patch will be out before then and hopefully alot of unrealistic stuff will be sorted.

    Have the patches downloaded and ready to be installed before starting your first game.

    You could download the facepacks and other mods that make playing the game more enjoyable too. The christmas dinner could even be left in the microwave! :pac:

    Its Sept 2013 in my game and a 27 year old Edin Dzeko is a free agent and no other club is looking at him. I could sign him but I dont want to take advantage of this flaw and the game is littered with this type of scenario plus all you have to do to sign a player is put him on your shortlist and wait for the inevitable blowout between him and management and sign him for a fraction of what you are suppose to.

    I remember these type of bugs on FM10 with Adler and Akinfeev, looks like the changes in the transfer system has made them widespread.

    i love these flaws!!

    I have always found it ridiculously hard to try and sign high profile players in previous FM games, so Ive found it very enjoyable this year to be able to unsettle players and get them for realistic prices, or to have players not want to re-sign with their clubs and being put on the market!!

    I dont want them to patch it!!

    Picked up my laptop today. 3GB HP laptop, Intel Premium Processor or something (the two star one), for €480. I wanted a 4GB Dell for €530, but I couldn't afford it.

    It'll be harder now knowing my laptop is hidden away in my house somewhere. Also, I don't think I'll be getting FM11 until the 28th. I can always download the demo... :rolleyes:

    Ordered a Dell laptop yesterday. I was hoping to have it before Christmas but I think I forgot to select pre-Christmas delivery :( (It said yesterday was the last day to order and receive it on 23rd of Dec, but the delivery date in the confirmation email says Jan 5th).

    Core i7 processor, 6GB of RAM. 2GB Nvidia GeForce 435M graphics card. Should do nicely for running Football Manager 11 & FIFA Manager 11. That'll be my Christmas sorted providing it arrives on time!

    11.2 is now released, thank GOD!!!

    Watching players like Edin Dzeko not be able to find a club for 6 months was pathetic

    I downloaded the bloody patch and installed and now i can't load my game save. I checked the SI forums and apparently any game that has the polish league active will not load.

    Bloody SI. This is the second patch i've had problems with. I'm just not going to bother with patches anymore since they seem to make things worse.
