Football Manager Society III

He became a club icon, sold him for 10 mil to rangers. He could have honestly stayed but I had a potential club legend(who became a club legend after winning the title) Griffiths wasn't exciting, but the guy sure liked his hattricks. Never got less than 20 league goals a season for me, even in the prem.

Is Griffiths actually still any good, though? He's been a monster for a couple of years but in the final patch for FM12 his stats were nerfed quite heavily...
His CA dropped from 111 to 105 and a number of his key stats dropped by 2-3 points. I haven't seen what he's like in FM13, and I know in older games he's still a bit of a beast, but they practically chopped his head off in the last FM12 patch, he just became so average

Don't you just get annoyed of the complainers on SI/FMBase forums it's like it's difficult to please people, somebody even said this is the worse FM he's every played :s.

That sort of comment comes up every year, and is often just not worth wasting any time over as they're a) never going to go into detail about why they think it's so bad and/or b) they're just trolling. Speaking as a wannabe developer myself, in the eyes of the SI devs there should be no issue for them about receiving complaints, but it's always better for those complaints to be worded in the form of constructive criticism as opposed to just "This is teh suxx0rz. **** SI" which doesn't really help anyone. Particularly those who do it on SI's official forums where all the devs have a greater likelihood of reading their comments, the devs will be quite happy to take constructive feedback on board and try to address any specific issues highlighted, but random outbursts about hating the game without explaining why is just stupid

Not wanting to start a 'proper' new game with the full release tonight, I decided to try out international management. I picked a very unorthodox squad for my first friendly (the likes of Hart, Gerrard and Walcott all missing, replaced with guys like Alex Smithies, Johnnie Jackson (Charlton midfielder) and Rickie Lambert) and got a few dodgy comments from the press...but having seen international call-ups in the beta already, I knew to expect that sort of thing...

But a few days before the friendly against Turkey, Kevin Nolan got injured and I had to pick a replacement. I was a bit confused as I had the option to speak to Nolan about the injury, which I'd never seen before, so I tried it. Starts off with "Hello, Kevin Nolan speaking?" (so it's hinting the chat's all done over the phone), then a few messages asking how the injury is and wishing him well with his recovery, then he asked if the injury might affect his chances of being called up to the team in the future, where I was given the option of saying "You'll have to return to full fitness then we'll see" or a line that's along the lines of "Ah, it's not that bad, just badly timed. You'll be back in the squad when you're fit, no problem."

Bit random, but seems a rather nice inclusion

I've just got my laptop back from the shop, I've added 200GB unto my hard drive, so I can run more leagues . I've also preserved my copy at Gamestation so literally after sixth form I can go pick it up, but I'm going to try and pull a sickie tomorrow .

how many leagues do you run normally?

I normally run all of them but only England (all), Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Portugal and Russia (top league only) playable oh and usually Argentina and Brazil top leagues too

my PC can handle more but it slows it down too much if you go too far beyond the above in terms of playable leagues.
