longdon Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Why, when downloading the game... etc was I asked to connect my Twitter and YouTube accounts to Football Manager? What are the benefits? Can you download your games to YouTube so your mate in Iceland could watch how you beat Inter Milan in your bedroom in Halifax?! Thanks in advance. I've been out of the loop in the Football Manager world for a couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FudgePacker Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 You can upload Match highlights and individual goals to your Youtube account. Don't know what you can do with Twitter, i don't use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo3289 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm not a Twitter user either but I read here in the forums that once you win competitions (leagues, cups etc) in FM you have a choice to post this on your Twitter profile! If chosen, this is done automatically I think... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiitastic Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 with twitter, when special things happen in the game like if you are Manager of Liverpool, it posts twitter posts concerning cup/league wins, high scoring games, and other special achievements in the game. It's quite good actually the twitter feature Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightLad5 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Im not a huge twitter fan, still dont really understand the benefits appart from stalking famous people, but its a good feature if you are a twitter fan and your mates are too. The youtube upload is good. It didnt hardly work for me in the demo but the full game it works perfectly so far its a shame you cant upload match highlights (penalty misses, offsides etc) but one step at a time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Might want to be warned that if you have unified your Gmail and YouTube accounts, the program will have access to your Gmail account too, so any attacker may be able to exploit this.

Rem-8 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yeah, if this goes via unsecure communication, you'll be able to easily gather gmail login and password. Let's hear from SI, how communication works there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cscully Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 with twitter, when special things happen in the game like if you are Manager of Liverpool, it posts twitter posts concerning cup/league wins, high scoring games, and other special achievements in the game. It's quite good actually the twitter feature I take it they're meant to be other achievements to go on twitter. Not the in game unlockable achievements. I thought it may have been the unlockables but i haven't seen the option to tweet yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite good actually the twitter feature Are you serious? It is terrible. Imagine if you're a student supposed to be studying for your annual exams and your mum takes a look at your twitter and finds out that you have just won a treble in your first season in the past hour. Goodness me. Or you telling your friends you're sick so you can stay home to play FM and then every hour it updates that you have won manager of the month award or progressed to the next stage of the FA cup. Need to remove ASAP imo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to remove ASAP imo! Er, the issue is the student not studying, rather than it being put on Twitter... That said, I disagree with "live-blogging" your life on Twitter and find it kind of sad that this feature is in the game. YouTube I can understand, though.
