Olly Hunter Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Less than a week and counting the days until FM12 is released! But what will you do first? Here's a list of the things I might do come midnight 21st October! Maybe the first thing will be the graphics. I'll find up-to-date graphics packs, download and add to the ones in my FM11 folders. I'll copy and paste those (many courtesy of FM-Base and sortitoutsi) from FM11 to the FM12 folders and of course un-tick the "Use Skin Cache" button in preferences . This ensures I have all the badges, player pictures, kits and everything else to make my game look as slick as possible.

dirtyscarab Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Copy several gbs of graphics to the graphics folder (Already downloaded and ready to go), fire up the editor and add an wonderkid to an obscure league with zero reputation (I do this every year - It's fun to track his progress), put the kiddies to bed early, crack open an alcoholic beverage and begin a non league save.

AndyPass Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've already pre-loaded but I live in Oz and so I don't think the game will be unlocked until 10am. I'm at work on Friday so it'll have to wait until I get home. Although The Queen and Prince Phillip are visiting Canberra so I might pop along to see them at Parliament House before firing up FM12.
