Well actually yeah Liverpool because they are prob a little overestimated in the game. That's 7 teams to compete with. The big clubs are far too inconsistent in FM which allows player controlled teams to achieve things like finishing 2nd in the EPL with a championship club after 4 seasons

Starting a game in the MLS (couldn't handle all the losses with Cork City).

Any tips?

EdenHazard

MLS is really fun imo, they have really improved it. There's still limitations because its so unique but they have improved it a lot. I think you should load up all players form Honduras and places because in reality a lot of players from there play in the MLS and it provides a pool to get players.
Any questions lemme know.

Never have got that in all my seasons think its buying and selling to many players at once give ti a few months should be fine.

Bought it myself this morning, might wait till I hear of patches published to fix a lot of problems posted here. But handy price none the less.

Yeah. Used mine no problem. Just does a check on the postal address. So once you add an American address to your one click settings on Amazon.com, it'll be fine.

ALso, if you use amazon.co.uk, it doesn't change the settings there for one click.

Not great. There isn't much customising that can be done.

me too. Its muck.

Its really aimed at the mobile phone market tbh.

They really need something for kindles, nexus 7 and the samsung tableys etc which have plenty of disk space, a Gb of RAM and decent enough processors.

It didn't cost me anything so I can see myself deleting it at some stage. I don't think you can give team talks in it and you can't make up training schedules according to the players preferred role.

Yes, and with the very limited text commentary and non existing highlights its impossible to know what to do to try and influence a result.

Really? FM13 is the first game I haven't had crash on me...

Nolars

Fm13 is the best FM yet apart from the match engine which is quite bad.

question: Do tactics really matter... or is it just a case of having enough money to buy the best players and you'll win anyway.

Tactics matter more than the players imo, my Forest team really lack and technical ability but I have them packed into a tight defense and tend to nick results by a goal or two. It's only this season that I'm starting to spend big on decent players (mid-table in the premiership in 3rd season).

I've had two great games so far, with Villarreal(FMC) and Man Utd. For the first time in a couple of years I've managed to go 1.5 seasons unbeaten with Utd (I found it easy to make an 'invincible' team in 08 and 09, but almost impossible in 10, 11 and 12).


For people complaining about crashes: I had crash dumps on an earlier patch, I just reinstalled the game and it was fine.

token101

Has anyone tried to put in their own club logos yet? I have the correct unique ID , the logo is in the same folder as all the other clubs in that league, same size as all the rest, but still isn't showing up :mad: I've cleared & reloaded the cache, unticked every box about ten times and it's still not working :mad:

How does the game play when playing on 13.1.1? Or is the update a must?

danniemcq

any reason why you don't want to update it?

Playing as LA Galaxy atm, changed my tactics mid-way through season and we've gone from mediocre form to winning streak. Same players, different tactics, makes all the difference...

new update gone in there.
