Football Manager 2013

[Jimmy]

It's karma for you being an awful person. :/

[MDK]

Maybe, but that doesn't help me, you tit.

[MDK]

Oh, and up yours, I fixed it

[Jimmy]

Now go take the Orient to glory!

[stokeriño]

I know FMC is meant to be a simpler/easier game, but I'm up to the first week of January and I haven't lost a match since the Community Shield.

Come on now. :/

[MDK]

I'm a third of the season into my game and I've got Orient up to 7th in the table, this is how I know my game is broke.

[stokeriño]

I knew that the moment John Mikel Obi scored a goal.

A winning goal.

At the Etihad.

*brain explodes*

I really really hope they are going to update/fix the match engine when the game releases tomorrow.

I like FM13 a lot, but one thing that has been frustrating me to no end is the sheer brutal difficulty of the AI in classic mode.

Playing with Twente it doesn't matter if I step up against a shit amateur or a team like Ajax, they all kick my ass across the pitch and most of the time I end up either inching a victory or just flat out losing. I also draw way too much.

I have tried multiple tactics across multiple saves, but nothing really solidly works. Even though that makes it fun in a sense that I can't just use one tactic as the ultimate win button, but seeing a team that should be top 5 sit in 12th place because every team is dominating me is just not fun.

Also seeing amateur sides play one-touch football that would make Xavi jealous is also just plain damn stupid.

The game is freaking brutal in the cheap kind of way.

Or that...

But it's just jarring because in FM12 I was succesfull, I didn't dominate everything and I am pretty sure I haven't won a CL in 12, but I was succesfull nonetheless.

But in FM13 I am just pure dissapoint in every single way, my team gets dominated by minnows and giants alike and when my team isn't shooting +70% from long range, then they are derping around defense and letting Roda JC win 4-1 over my Twente side...

I am all for a challenge and all, but I just feel that either the AI is being given buffs, or the engine is just causing my players to play like utter retards...

And it doesn't really matter if I am playing 532, 442, 451 or whatever, I am struggling with top 4 teams against everything and everyone.

[EddieG]

The team just doesn't like anybody taking away their precious Shteve.

I'll have a look at the Twente squad tomorrow and hand down some magic.

I don't get any props, I won 10 Premier Leagues in a row with Newcastle and 3 Champions Leagues. I've got to be some sort of higher power
