mije1983 0 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yes you can. You will need to transfer your saved games using a USB stick and make sure you also copy over the database if you have edited it. Also any training schedules or tactics you want to keep. Link to post Share on other sites
Welshace 655 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 yep... course.. and as mije said.... you will need the same version of the game on your new setup for the save to work... you'll find your save at : C:\Users\<your user>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\games Link to post Share on other sites
Berry-94 10 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah easy as hell to do if you have either a USB memory stick or an external HDD Link to post Share on other sites
bullybeef 0 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If you have at least a vista/win7 PC and laptop, you can transfer files via (modem) network sharing center wifi. Link to post Share on other sites
soundboyy 3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have asked the question multiple times with no answer - You also need to copy something to keep the hall of fame stats... It would be great if someone could clarify what it is you need to copy to the new laptop... Link to post Share on other sites

soundboyy 3 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 so just copy that one file? Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat121 15 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Another easy thing to do with multiple computers is use a free Dropbox account or any other online storage program that syncs. I have my main desktop and a laptop that I play on. I have Dropbox pointed at my FM folders I want on both computers. It makes it an easy set and forget way to have everything on both. As Im playing on my desktop anytime the game saves Dropbox will see that and move the new file to my laptop within a couple minutes. Same goes if Im playing on my laptop. The game saves and it moves it to my desktop so no matter which one I sit at I have my most up to date save file without having to do anything. It also gives you an online backup should something happen to your computers. Link to post Share on other sites

I do the exact same thing - and i've been wondering why i've never made it to greatest manager of all time despite winning multiple EPLs, CLs, FA Cups, SPLs (Spanish) and the World Cup It's obviously because I never kept the same Hall of Fame file synced between the two, is there any way i can amalgamate the two files now so that they have all my league/cup wins? Can't even find the file! Link to post Share on other sites
mikefeth 10 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Welshace - how do I save my FM14 onto USB and the retrieve it so i can play? Link to post Share on other sites
dow123 0 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 doing this with a later game, assuming it's done the same way but where do we transfer the files too? Link to post Share on other sites
bigmattb28 1,021 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Just save to the cloud, login on your new PC and load from the cloud, Or using a USB is easy enough. Link to post Share on other sites

Save games by default are stored in the following folder: \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\games (replacing 2018 with the version of the game you are using) If you aren't using the built-in Cloud saving feature, just grab your save file from that location and copy it into the same location on your other computer, then load up FM on the new computer and if the save isn't shown as the most recent one just select load game and then select your save or browse to the folder you saved it in if need be.

Not sure if editor data files need to be copied over if you are just loading up a save game (the data should be stored in the save file). Though if you want to be safe you can just copy over the entire Football Manager folder for the version you are using from the \Documents\Sports Interactive\ and if there is a separate Editor folder in that location for the version you are using you can copy that over as well. And if you want the hall of fame copying over that is located in the following location: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sports Interactive\ Again inside the FM folder for the version you are using. (Though I think it's included within the save files as well for the more recent versions). Then just copy the folders/files into the same locations on your other computer.

Weston 1,043 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If you are attempting to transport this sort of thing from one device to another I recommend using wetransfer.com instead of a USB. It's faster, easier, and has less chance of something going wrong. I think I might use my work laptop to play FM instead of my personal laptop this year because of how much better it is, and I've been thinking about this process in case at some point I change my mind and want to go back...

michaeltmurrayuk 1,171 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Though sending the files through the internet does depend on you having a decent internet connection - my upload speed is ~1Mbit/s so physically transferring files is quicker for me. Link to post Share on other sites
