Christopher Cox Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Christopher, so what exactly do you want it to do? Not download the update? If this is stopping you even playing the game I'd suggest verifying the cache (this will most likely download the patch though), details on how to do this here - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/279162-Football-Manager-2012-*OFFICIAL*-FAQ?p=7184719&viewfull=1#post7184719In all honesty I don't know why it's tried to update if you don't want it to - are you still able to run the game as it is? I always play the game in offline mode, but today I went online in order to download the editor. I have always had it on 'do not update automatically', so quite why it's been turned on again, I have no idea. However, upon going online and downloading the editor, it began updating, or at least, saying it was updating. I've tried verifying the cache, defragmenting, the lot. It's just not happening. As long as it knows there's an update and that I've not downloaded it, it won't allow me to play the game. I HAVE to update now, whether I like it or not, to be able to play the game, but I can't and I don't know why. I've noticed that if I verify the cache, shut down, reopen Steam, the download appears in the downloads section, but it does not download. If I click 'Play', I am presented with the verifying cache window, and am then told Steam servers are busy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

psymon2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi all Couple of things I have noticed, not sure if anyone has the same: 1. all rounds of games (pl, champs league) are played at the same time, same day (no tv changes), 2. cant confirm selecting my back up tactic during a game Does anyone else have the same?

hhhonlyfan1984 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 major major issues with the update patch for myself firstly im managing bristol city 2018 season im in world class rep and can ask for a parent club this has to be a bug considering the only teams with a higher rep than myself is man utd and barcelona. secondly match engine is appalling now jerky slow and when making subs will show me highlights even though i dont have them on. next i cannot now ask for a new stadium or expand before this patch i played at 3pm uk time i had those options logged out and then fm updated im now 9 game months further through and still no option. hall of fame has a bug now where sir alex ferguson shows up in both 1st and 9th place in my hof. and the other bugs i have noticed so far are im getting players who are playing every game getting "unhappy at not getting first team action". my guys who this involves have played all bar 1 game since this patch. also the other problem i have noticed is signing younger players all considering contracts and not accepting or rejecting until after deadline transfer or in the case of the team who has the player not accepting 8 months on. overall this patch has made this game 10 times worse.

Christopher Cox Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Right, no joy. Backwards step even. Game doesn't appear in the 'downloads' section of Steam and it still can't decide if it's updating or not anyway, giving me the option of pausing the download (despite it not actually downloading) when it says 'update paused'. Also, despite me changing it back to 'do not automatically update' it tells me it will automatically update the game. Very bored of this now. It looks as if I'll have to reinstall from scratch, which is a massive inconvenience as I have to go out and find an internet connection fast enough to download it. Again, I bought the game, why can't I be the one to play it when I want to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff PaulC Posted December 15, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted December 15, 2011 The changes were so minor I didn't bother with a change-list to be honest. Main ones you may or may not notice: - Toned down corner delivery - Harder to get header on target under pressure - Better AI attacking corner set-up - Tweaked AI use of touchline instruction - Fixed a bug relating related to positioning of full backs in defensive third - Fixed defensive line pushing up on goal kick leaving team vulnerable to header back over their heads for forward to run onto Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevvy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I seem to be having a serious issue here. Before, if I wanted to make changes and go from say 4-4-2 to 4-3-3, I could just click on confirm changes when I'd made the formation change, and it'd change it. Now, for some bizarre reason, it'll happily let me make substitutions, but when it comes to changing players positions, formations etc, it either doesn't give me an option to confirm the changes, or it does, it says it's making the changes, but doesn't make them at all. This is VERY frustrating when you're trying to go for a late equaliser and you find your team not playing attacking football at all, players in their original positions when they should've changed etc. For me this is a serious serious issue.

stevvy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That's really bizarre, and to be honest quite confusing (compared to the old version where basically you just made the changes and bam, they were implemented). It also means (I'm guessing anyway) then having to change my different 4-3-3 formation back to what I want as my original 4-3-3 formation (if I'm losing with 5mins to go I stick 5 men up front, before that, just a straight 4-3-3, will I now have to change back from the 5 men up front version of 4-3-3 to the original version of 4-3-3 after each game, and make sure that I reclick on 4-4-2 as my starting tactic for the next game?)

FCCK Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The only people for whom I would recommend starting a new game are those specifically looking for a tough challenge, ie taking on a big club as an ex Sunday League player.

FCCK Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 No, as with all updates you never need to start a new save game - you're fine to continue your game.However some changes (such as competition rules and scheduling changes) you'll need to start a new game for them to take affect. Hi Neil Brock, Does the changes happen once a new league starts (mostly the competition rules) or by removing and then adding the league. Or the only way is to start fresh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff PaulC Posted December 16, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted December 16, 2011 The starting world reputation for Sunday league is now 0, so if you start a new game you'll get the full effects of that. Whereas if you continue a game where you started with Sunday League at a higher number, which may now be higher if you have done ok, it will be a bit easier to motivate your players than if you restart.

BiggusD Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 - User now gets to pick their feeder club when the board agree to allow the user to pick their own team rather than just pick from suggested clubs. Can you tell me if the success rate when I do pick my own club has increased from previous versions? Do we need to check club reputation in FMRTE to make sure that the target club is in a proper range compared to our club, because the gap between the lower levels of "National" and "Continental" is so immense that it is not very useful. I suppose over half the clubs in the world have "national" reputation... Maybe the board could hint a bit as to what kind of club they would think realistic?
