tomtuck01 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Been suffering from food poisoning the last couple of days. Have to say that its one of the least enjoyable experiences I have had.

tomtuck01 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 How come Tom? Some of the data changes to the Swansea players are sensational - in a good way, I'm not saying they've been rated too highly. Joe Allen and Leon Britton inparticular look quality and make the versions of themselves in my career save with the previous data vastly inferior.

Nottingham Forest Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 May have found a bug already, unless they've changed it. Can't see it in the changelist, but it's quite possible I'm being blind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Even Ashley Williams is vastly improved!! If I wasn't in the middle of my career save I'd start one with them. Only thing is Scott Sinclair still looks disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The board interaction thing, it sort of freezes and I don't get a response once I've asked for something. If you back out, you can ask again but the same problem occurs. You used to get your response straight away. Don't know if that's still the case or if they've changed it so you get it after a day.

Nottingham Forest Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hmm, wonder whether it's jsut Forest. Frank Clark's not properly set as the chairman and they've not put the club up for sale either. Although I don't think we are yet anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Specific Man marking is what you need \o/ I've never done man marking on a CM/FM. It takes one of your own players out of the game. Or atleast that's how I feel about it in real life and thus don't use it in FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man marking is mark a player who enters the defenders so called zone. Specific man marking you can select your wide players to mark their wingers or MC's and then they track back when you loose the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Given I already knew the changes I'd submitted for Granada CF, it does tempt me to start a new save with the update. Now featuring young Brazilian gem Henrique. Golden Boot and Golden Shoe winner at last years U20 World Cup. The only other players to previously win both awards? Sergio Agüero, Leo Messi, Javier Saviola. Just saying... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathxxx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, it's why I never really bother with man-marking in FM. I always do fine with a mixture of zonal marking and opposition instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

milnerpoint Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So is everyone enjoying the new patch? I only played a few games last night, i was too busy drooling over Messi, but as usual i dont really see any difference lol, i guess thats a good thing. Still cant get a feeder club tho oh and my Romanian feeder club is now useless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I started a new game with Swansea because of Tom On a plus side though I'm doing good Messi last night was awesome, although I felt Barca didn't play that well. Was more like training for them. Can't believe how much stick Messi still gets though on how good he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Tom - How you set up at Swansea? I gotta say I'm loving this save already. 4-1-2-2-1 Sweeper Keeper - Support Wing backs L/R - Attack Central Defender - Cover Central Defender - Stopper Defensive Midfielder - Defend Deep Lying Playmaker - Support Advanced Playmaker - Attack AML/R - Attack Deep Lying Forward - Attack Tempo is set at just two, as is time wasting. Basically that ensures we play slowly, yet there is still that zip to our play. Defensive Line is set to six, and width to seven. Also Target Man Supply is set "To Feet". I would go into individual player instructions, but I assume you have your own ideas, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
