Football Manager 2011

[Taurus]

For those of you who missed the announcements. Here's a run-down on what you missed...Newly revealed features:Set Piece Creator – Much like Football Manager 2010’s Tactics Creator, we’ve now added a Set Piece Creator to the game which allows you to set up your set piece routines in a much more intuitive and user-friendly manner.Press Conference revamp – Not just a new user interface, and not just 150+ new press conference questions, but also all of the previous 500+ press conference questions have been fully reviewed, with possible answers revised where necessary, leading to press conferences being more intuitive and in situ.Match analysis improvements – Lots of new options available on the match analysis chalkboard, with offsides, free kicks, corners, throw ins, clear cut chances, half chances all now available to analyse via the system, as well as the option to show all of the players match actions at the same time, rather than having to look at them all separately.Squad registration / squad number split – We’ve separated out the squad registration and squad numbering screens, so you can now give squad numbers to players who don’t need to be registered.Newgen revamp – Newly generated players, or newgens as we call them, are now created using a new system that looks at player templates for different styles of player, as well as taking national traits into account, to ensure that the types of player in the game are constant throughout the life of your own saved game.B-Team & Amateur revamp – Due to lots of feedback from our community, particularly from Spanish and Danish users, regarding the way that B teams and amateur work in the game compared to real life, we’ve had a revamp on the way they work to make them more accurate than ever before, including the chance to set up your own clubs B team at the start of the season in appropriate leagues.These features are in addition to those already announced, which you can find out about at http://www.youtube.com/sigames.There are still lots of other new features in FM11 that have not yet been announced. Some of these will be announced in the coming weeks, and some will be left for people to find out for themselves once preview code is available.

Cant wait.

Trust. Usually a second patch will he out them times.After the final patch I will go IN on this game. FM10 nearly ended my relationship couple times.

I didnt even get FM10Just makes me anticipate this release even more

[Mongy]

Looking to buy a cheap laptop that is capable of running this. The one I got gets slower and slower as seasons pass. Playing FM 2008 and after 5 seasons its unbearable. Anyone know the best place?

Over the weekend, Football Manager 2011 on PC & Mac went “gold” on 5 of the 8 versions of the disc that are due to be manufactured, with the other 3 discs turning up later today.That means that work has now started on the demo, and I can now reveal when it will be released.We are releasing the demo this year in 2 phases, with strawberry on Thursday (Steam only) and vanilla and strawberry torrent & direct download on Friday.There are many reasons that we’ve decided to release the demo in this way this year. We basically don’t have enough time to get all the different versions built and tested by Wednesday night, so had to decide whether to release them all on Friday, or split them.So last week, SEGA’s global marketing teams started talking to various possible partners to release the demo that would mean that everyone who wanted to get the strawberry demo on Thursday could do completely for free without breaking SIgames.com & FM.com (as happens every year), and those that were more patient, or didn’t want to use Steam for whatever reason, could still get the demo on what was the originally planned date of 2 weeks before release.As mentioned above, the only other option was to delay all of the releases.Our partners for the demo will be MirrorFootball in the UK, Marca in Spain, Veikkaaja in Finland and L’Equipe in France, but that does not mean that customers in other countries will be unable to get the demo. We will of course provide information at SIgames.com and footballmanager.com as soon as the demo is available so that any customer in the world is able to download the demo via Steam as soon as it goes live.The demo will have 12 playable leagues – England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and is available in all languages.At some point on Friday 22nd, we’ll make the demo available for direct download and torrent, and a vanilla version of the demo, which will feature just the English and Scottish leagues.I know one of the first question I’ll be asked it “why choose to go with Steam first, rather than one of the others?”. Now that it’s a PC and Mac distribution platform, everyone can get it via the system, it provides great download speeds, it will once again be one of the two options for installation for the boxed game (with lots of benefits, which I’ll be blogging about in the next couple of weeks) and is a system most of us here use without issue. I’ve seen some posts on the forums that unfairly castigate Steam, such as blaming it for the activation issues regarding FM2009, which were nothing to do with Steam, but were caused by a denial of service attack on Uniloc’s servers, or blaming a bug in the game on Steam – a bug in the game is a bug in the game, and nothing to do with Steam at all. Hopefully that answers that question.As mentioned above, the links to the demo should be available here from Thursday morning – I would advise that if you’re looking to grab it quickly, that you download the Steam client in advance, which is available at www.steampowered.com, and then you’ll be just a couple of button clicks away from being able to grab it.

First impressions.I hope some nice skins come out before i purchase this because i really dislike the default skin.Like the inclusion of Match Preparation and the fact they automatically have seperate training schedules for each position.Agents>>>>>>>>Feel alot more interactive when it comes to contract negotiations. I feel like i can do alot more whereas before it was 'What i want or nothing' moretime. Set piece creator is decent.Seems like it has the potential to be the best management game so far providing the Jan/Feb patch is perfect.

The legacy of Necksta has started.Almeida in on loan, banged 4 in 4 so far.Sold Routledge for 900k, gonna sell quite a few players.. got £1.5M to spend and no wages.Trying to shift Barton/Smith/Lovenkrands/Ameobi/Harper.Signed Enyama for 200k, and also Kapo on a free transfer.Gonna get mid table imo.
