Football Manager 2015 - The Official Thread

I thought I had but possibly not will check tonight, goalkeeper definitely needs improving and I do suffer from ridiculous backpasses ! If I connect to Steam does it do this automatically or do I need to do something myself ?

Yeah it does it automatically. When Steam boots it searches for any updates for you installed games and downloads them.

I had an issue because I started FM15 from the desktop icon; because it opened the game and Steam, I was playing the old version without realising the patch was downloading and ended up losing a couple of games due to defensive errors. Massive facepalm.

So yeah this just happened! SUPER CHRIS O'GRADY! and that is now 12 for the season so far and only in November!

I loaned O'Grady out to Huddersfield. 40K a week and 100% of his wages. His first game for them and he bangs in four goals putting Huddersfield at the top of the table. Above me. By one goal. *******.

I won the Norwegian 3rd division by a point after a long 3-horse race

currently preparing myself for the mighty norwegian second divsion, especially as a few big boys have been relegated. Going to try and tread water for the season, then jump ship to a bigger norwegian club if possible

Finally got round to putting this on. Was given the job of Ebbsfleet manager. Not a bad start as they have a good squad for the league. My number two is Steve Gritt too!

3games in sit 8th having LWW the last of which was Whitehawk.

Only had it in stalled 72hours or so and I've spent about 71.5 of that glued to it. If I could have a set up that didn't require me eating/peeing and washing it'd be simpler!

And this is only at half time! PEOPLE USE O'GRADY!!!

Just finished my 3rd season- managed to scrape a UEFA Cup spot which the board are delighted with. Just signed a 35 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic as my backup striker as well as a couple of class regens and Willy Caballero as a number 2 keeper. Very solid squad now, with Adama Traore on one flank and Deloufeu on the other. Kurt Zouma (on loan) at the back next to Siyandu Xulu, with Allan Nyom and Danny Rose at full back. Play a holding midfielder- my regen or a kid on loan from Barca and 2 just ahead of him (Darren Fletcher, Sergi Roberto or Markus Henriksen.

LOVE this game!

Speaking of skins/badges etc. FM Scout has a couple of user created skins - http://www.fmscout.com/c-skins15.html

Personally I can't stand the default skin so I'm going to give the White one a go tonight, looks good from those preview pics.

I need two points from the last seven or so games to win the Championship. I've definitely been more successful since the fixes to defending.

As soon as I've crossed the finish line I'll start giving game time to a trio of regens that were part of my youth intake and have the potential to be pretty good; a GK, a CM and a AML.

I've slipped down the table to 8th due to my inability to score at the moment. I have dominated every game but the ball just wont go in the net. Then the other team will have one chance at the end and score. Now where have we seen that before..

 

[BBassic]

Made a bit of a boo-boo last night. I'd started a new game with Brighton once I got familiar with the systems etc. and bought Pavel Savitskiy. Looks to be a great player for the future, got him cheap. Signed him and only then did I get the message his work permit had been denied. Bloom won't look for a feeder club either so I can't loan him out until he's gotten his EU citizenship. So this potential star is going to rot away. Shameful.

Also, in a panic buy after both Hughes and Dunk got injured I picked up some cheap defender who looked like he would be able to plug the hole. Didn't notice he was out with a broken ankle for the next four months. Damn it!

Victor Valdes has just signed for Fulham on my game WTF
