Love the series and will buy soon. Friend's really enjoying it.
What have you done with United in terms of squad, tactics etc? Will be the first team I try out the game with
The only player I've brought in is Kyle Walker, and only because I bought him out of spite (17 mil, when I already have Rafael and Smalling at RB)
In terms of tactics, it's pretty basic (and working very well)
Standard team is
Rooney Hernandez
Young Nani on the wings
Ando Fletcher in CM
Evra Vidic Ferdinand Rafael
It's near enough set up like real life United. Rooney playing as a deep lying forward, Hernandez as a poacher, Nani and Young always attacking, the 2 full backs playing as wing backs (and supporting the wingers). Ando set as a deep lying playmaker, and Fletcher as a ball winning midfielder. Ferdinand and Vidic set to defend
Wooooop
I'm Newcastle and because I cba with Mike Ashley being a tight c**t I cheat and gave myself a sugar daddy lol
Average start to the season for me really (forgot my record) sitting mid table.. My team is
Krul
Simmo - Collocini - Subotic - Santon
Saivet - Cabaye(when fit -_-) - Tiote - Gutierrez
Ben Arfa
Ba
Bought Rondon as another striker and well he got injured in his first friendly, got fit and then went international duty and got injured again then made 2 sub appearance went on international duty and got injured again...

It doesn't run without Steam anyway, so why buy the disc
Thats pretty much been the review for the last 4 years lol
Football Manager is like crack - for the past few years I've been just using the iPhone app. Now though, I'm back.
Been addicted since I bought it, am Oldham and am currently on a 10 match unbeaten run.
I had a save on the iPhone going up to 2055, but lost it when I upgraded to iOS5. I was delighted that day.

First save is always with United. Do a season or two, then switch to a making a journeyman save.
That's what I do but with Liverpool.
I finished 2nd in my first season with Liverpool about 12 points off United
() and 10 points ahead of City which seems like massive gaps... Chelsea dropped out of the CL spots and AVB got sacked the day after they couldnt qualify (lolol)My challenge now is as I have signed Tevez for 22mil I'm going to give him a season to try and increase his value as much as poss then shift him on to someone like Madrid, Malaga, Eto'o's team or back to City for as much profit as I can possibly manage before he refuses to play for me
This is what I do. I think it's acceptable if you're a United fan you always want to be your own club.
I was late to the party on FM11 but had a great save with United. I completed either 4 or 5 seasons with them. Getting some quality midfielders in and winning the league a few times and also winning the champs league once IIRC. Then I got offered the Bayern job so went over there. They had fallen from grace but I immediately restored them to the dominant team.
Ah happy days. Couldn't find any copies in store yesterday and it's £30 to download from Steam which I didn't wanna pay as you can get it for £25 in places lol. So ordering from Amazon today at £25 with free delivery roll on tomorrow!!
The link I posted has it for £23.99, and they give you a key to put into Steam.. worked fine for me

Already ordered with Amazon but cheers anyway.
I just had a mass clear out of coaches on my team.. Mainly the fitness ones as the amount of goals I have conceded in the 80th minute onwards was getting annoying and it was clearly their fault and not my managerial talents ..
Now I have atleast 3.5 stars on all training so quite happy.. Signed a few decent youngsters too and changed for 4-2-3-1 (after city walked through my team using it) and it seems to have upped our game a bit

I wish I knew more (read - anything) about football as I'd be on this, no messing.
The only footy manager game I put a lot of time into was the original Football Manager by Kevin Toms/Thomas (?) - back on the 'ol BBC Micro at school. I was a bit pissed at the time how the computer science teacher wouldn't allow us to save games to the network drive. It was massive storage back then - came with 20MB of capacity.

It puzzles me how in this day and age there's no way to save your FM12 save on your computer. Then load it and carry on, on the iPhone app. Then load it again on your computer when you're back in front of it. Save it to the cloud, load it from the cloud.
I would actually love if that ever happened. Ideally in the next 24 hours.

Well I got the game yesterday and I'm hooked! Started with Man United as I support them so natural choice for me really.
Had a cracking pre season winning all my games. Then I really did not get off on the right foot with the fans, losing 2-1 to City in the Community Shield and again 2-1 in my opening league fixture at Old Trafford. Both times they seemed to have a lot of posession and chances and I think I'll be cramming the midfield out next time I come up against them!
Next was Arsenal away which wasn't ideal either, especially when conceding after 3 mins and then a few mins in to the second half. However I managed to claw it back and escape with a 2-2 draw. Next up was QPR at home who I thumped 5-0 and then Norwich away who I beat 4-0. So 7 out of 12 points not fantastic but it will do.
Signings purely focused on youth. Signed Lucas Digne from Lille (promising looking 18 year old left back) in a deal worth about £2.2m. Signed a player called Verratti from Pescara who's a midfielder (also 18) who was dubbed the new Pirlo! Gave him his league debut starting against Norwich and he scored a 30 yard screamer! Also signed Sanogo from Auxerre (18 again, striker) who was decent on FM11 and hopefully will come good in a few yeard and add depth when Owen / Berbs are gone.
Hooked? Oh yes big time!
Because we're not talking about some pictures or some contacts that are light enough to be managed on a Mac or an iPhone. We're talking about a huge game that without being heavily slimmed down just would not be playable on a phone.

Yes, I appreciate what you're saying - with a big database one save could be massive including everything related to it. However, whats to say you can't have exactly the same database on the existing iPhone version of the game, and just be able to access your save on save on it? as in just the actual save, so a potentially tiny file.
I can dream.
blah.
LOL you on crack bruv? Think about the processing needed -_-
I had the best defence in the league (Derby) and one of the best attacks. This was about November. Steam installed the patch - haven't won since!! Now in March, ain't playing the game now it pissed me off.
Drugs are bad mmkay
