Balthazars Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 13GB? Are you mad? There's no need for anything like that. Most high end games will run fine on 4GB! I have 8GB in my current rig (it's 5 years old now). I went for that amount at the time cause I figured it would keep me in step with 'hardware inflation'. I assume gav is simply doing the same.

Did you see and reply to the mailing to the researchers sent out asking what format you wanted the game in ? (boxed or digital).

One-touch football at its best, and the sign of a team confident, comfortable with one another, and enjoying their football. Quite brilliant, surely a contender for goal of the season already!

Jibby123 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I am going to the Emirates this week to see the Dortmund game, but it's going to be weird. From 1991-95 we followed Dortmund all over Germany, out to Dresden and closer to home to Schalke, and I even called my hamster 'Chapuisat' after their main man back then. We all left Hemer and moved to Fallingbostel before they won the Champions League but Dortmund games as a group of English squaddies was a bit mad; good and bad. The 91-92 season where we lost the league in injury time was cruel, but looking back: mad. German touts, German alcohol bans within a mile of the stadium bypassed and just the whole time was brilliant. The Westfalenstadion literally bouncing on a Friday night fixture has not yet been matched in any game I've seen since, including the so-called big nights at Anfield or Old Trafford or anywhere in England really. We're having a bit of reunion in London this week to bore each other of days gone by. One of us is a mad gooner. He's torn, I'm not. I don't want to look at any visiting Dortmund fan under 20 years old and think "I was following your team when you were a baby" but I will. Football. Mad eh?

They're looking really good at the moment and I can't wait for them to come up against one of the bigger teams in the league, should be interesting. Well, Liverpool at home and United away are coming up real fast. Honestly I believe that we're in with a shout of getting maximum points from these two fixtures. Liverpool is in better form and we're shipping goals so I see it as the more risky fixture of the two. On current form, I honestly believe we have what it takes to roll United at Old Trafford. Before that though, big game against Dortmund in the Champions League. Win and we're in a really good spot for qualifying for the knock-out rounds, while having lost their opening game, Dortmund will really want at least a point, if not all three themselves. Should be a cracker, but I hope we can boss them like we did Napoli (unlikely as that is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistahc Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Typically, because of this board and the story writing, I am still playing FM 12. It's the first time in 20 years I haven't bought the latest version on the day of release. Is it okay to put a cheeky Movember message? Please remove if not. I wouldn't do stuff like this normally, but it's something I believe in. For the last few years I have done Movember and this year I've got about 40 workmates and even made some video's to promote it. Not all of them joined my group as they are lazy (hence why they don't want to shave). For those that don't know, it's to promote men's health. So please check it out if you've never heard of it. Lastly, if you want to see what I look like; you have a chance to look at my page - http://uk.movember.com/mospace/1635102 I'm not asking for your money (I'd rather it went to the Philippines if I'm truly honest), just raising awareness. We all like football, so it's worth making sure your balls are fit to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavrenwick Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am still playing 12, but squeeze a go on 14 every now and then. Also, two wins and Newcastle look so much better. It's beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Is anyone actually playing FM14 or have we discovered hibernation ? To be truthful I don't think my laptop could cope with FM14 But I do have FM13 going full force with one huge save going off which could take ages to be transferred to a story, my Man.Utd save and a career one eventually It does however look like there is a state of hibernation going off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have a feeling I might not buy any more future versions of FM. There seems to lots of huge changes with each passing version, so it means wasting more time getting used to things. I still preferred the simplicity of FM07, and I'm actually perfectly happy with FM12. Also, games (and the computers needed to play them) are expensive.

Panpardus Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've been playing 14 and it seems decent enough, a couple little bugs here and there which can be a little annoying but nothing game breaking for me. I did just get fired though because I agreed to drop a player when talking with the board, but it was at the end of the year and when the new year started he played the first few games, I was a bit annoyed when I got fired because of it, especially when we were leading the tables at the time. But then I thought hey this board is nuts anyway and went on to continue looking for another club, had a couple of interviews but nothing eventuated for a while. It's not as hard a learning curve I think the newer ones, the tactics side of things is a bit easier then playing with the sliders anyway. I like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spav Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm another who hasn't bought FM14. I never really got into FM13 though and instead I'm still playing a couple of my best-ever career games on FM12. I suspect I will buy FM14 after a couple of patches, probably in the New Year.
