Should I get it?

I was thinking about nabbing the game within the next couple of weeks. Should I get it?

Yes, you should.

Yes, absolutely 100%.

What you still doing here,get out and grab it now!

If you

a) don't mind wasting most of Christmas Day waiting for the damn thing to load, only for it to NEVER load, and in its so doing..

b) curse like Peter Reid on crack

c) don't care that good money you spent has gone down the drain and that you will NOT get the chance to play it this Christmas

then please, be my guest and waste your precious recession pounds.

As for me, I'm calling up Amazon first thing tomorrow demanding my money back and warning everybody I know not to buy this or future Football Manager games until Sports Interactive and SEGA get rid of that ruddy annoying STEAM thing.

Thanks for ruining my Christmas, assnuts!

Well that was pointless posting that, not mentioning any real problems at all.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

I'm afraid that if this is what you've experienced, then you're part of a minority. It is certainly not the game maker's fault. You have the choice as to whether you use Steam or not. And I'm sure SI and SEGA will not be encouraged to 'get rid of that ruddy annoying STEAM thing' if you address them as assnuts. I understand that people should be happy at Christmas, so if you've had an unenjoyable day then I have the utmost sympathy for you.

Back on topic, I'd recommend this game 100%.

WelshWizard - just don't use Steam. I haven't and never will do and as a result have had no problems at all installing the game

yep definetly get it its sooo good im addicted yet again

I used steam to buy it this year and have had no problems at all. I would say most problems have been caused by older computers/laptops not being kept up todate or people using the editor and not knowing what to do properly

Appreciate the comments, but sorry my blood has boiled so much it's now vapor.

Tried both Steam and non-Steam and no good - about as useful as a wet fart in a volcano.

Will not ever buy again.

Thanks for taking a dump on my Christmas SI and SEGA.

Personally i would wait until patch 10.3 is released , hopefully by then they ( S I ) will have sorted out the bug's ,better late than never i suppose !!! .

I'm sure they're very grateful.

Whoops, sorry. I guess I let that one slip. I meant, **** you.

I hope you understand.

I've been absolutely woeful on this game and just can't get anything right, I'm over-complicating tactics, in fact I've only had one game in 2/3 months that has lasted more than a week. Some might quit but I find the tactical side of things very addictive and is a must buy.

Anyone would think FM was what Christmas is about with a comment like that and saying it ruined your Christmas (which with all due respect, makes you look a bit pathetic really). To say you won't buy it again and you'll warn everyone else not to until they get rid of Steam is bordering on comical, purely because you know full well you don't have to use Steam (and then you say you'll never buy again regardless). I chose not to use Steam and it works fine. Was nothing stopping you not using Steam in the first place. You haven't helped yourself with comments such as calling them 'assnuts' either. You're in a minority if it doesn't work for you using Steam or any other way, but no need to make some of the comments you have.

What are you waiting for OP. Get outside whichever game shop you buy from as soon as they open in the morning. you'll probably get it at a below average price in the sales as well

Well it's up to you really. You're best to try the demo and see what you think yourself.

It's good. Don't listen to the multitudes saying it's bugged to hell. It's not. The match engine has been good since 2010 was released, but there were bugs with league structures. They seem to have pinned many of them down and the match engine has improved. There may well be small problems. Wwfan noted a small issue with straight down the middle one on ones, but it's simple enough to get around that.

Much of the fuss over bugs is merely the disgruntled posters not understanding what they are doing wrong. If you're unwilling to change things, or you change things too much then you'll hit snags.

Try it yourself though.

That guys a nut job, steam is the BEST thing to happen to FM. This FM is the new one, if you like football, get it.

If you dont like football, your a mess.

If you don't like Steam, just don't use it - install the non-Steam version. You're ranting about something that is OPTIONAL.

Ruining Christmas? Sounds to me like you were determined to ruin your own Christmas.

Explain? Are you saying you are unable to install the non-Steam version of the game because you are about as much use as a wet fart in a volcano?

Maybe ask one of your parents to install it for you, or a friend of the family that knows how to use a computer?

without a doubt. get it now.

I am quite picky(but not as picky as some people on these forums), and love it. It is not perfect, but if you understand the difficulties with making the most beautiful game realistic and fun at the same time, then you will more than likely have an enjoyable experience with the game.
