Football Manager Society II

From past experience with all leagues playable it's PAINFULLY slow (a day or more to holiday through a season isn't out of the question) and the game physically can't handle the amount of data so you have to save just about every time you want to press continue because particularly during days when matches are being played (i.e. most days) the game will more than likely decide to crash.

With all leagues set to 'view-only' except the one you're actively playing in, it's much more manageable, and not too much worse than having just the active playable league on its own (results in view-only leagues are simulated based on club rep and so on rather than being played out in full detail like in playable leagues and managers in view-only leagues are about as passive in the transfer market as when their leagues aren't on at all). But of course remember that with FM12 you can now turn leagues on/off whenever you feel like it (league is activated/deactivated once it's time for a new season to start in that country) so there's a perfectly good possibility that Cataquack's just been having one or two active leagues at a time and switching leagues on/off when he wanted a change

What are your computers stats, if you don't mind me asking?

The main thing I'd be worried about is my laptop overheating.

Is FM unavilable for anyone else at the moment? It keeps telling me to try again some other time

Anyone got recommendations for a decent young keeper I can develop around 2013/14?

...it was a pretty good PC when I got it a few years ago. Few games struggle on it (Crysis crashes a lot, and it really doesn't like Skyrim with the HD graphics plugin, but aside from those and games with dubious code optimisation like STALKER, it'll run most games at 1680x1050 (or close to it) at max graphic level (or close to it) with no problems at all) but I may look to upgrade later in the year, and probably next year at the latest.
If you're on a laptop then running loads of leagues probably wouldn't be the best idea, no

Guys, I need advice. I'm in November 2025, still with Chelsea, my first club. I've won eleven or twelve Premier League titles, four Champions Leagues, eight or nine league cups, four or five FA Cups, four Club World Cups and ten or twelve Community Shields. My aim was to win the most Premier League titles (twenty, as it stands) and then get another job. I've just been offered the Barcelona job; they're 15th in La Liga, and they've offered me 235 K per week, a 443 million transfer budget and a 5M p/w wage budget. I have an amazing squad at Chelsea, so...do I stick or twist? I've asked for a week to think things over, so...

Is it possible to get a job at a team from another country if you ticked the box in the beginning for only one country (I'm the manager of A.C. Milan)?

Toss a coin on it. And, yeah, I am being serious.

You will be able to take over them in future seasons, I'd get the record before you move on

In 2012 it is, but not in 2011 or before that. You have to enable that country somewhere (don't actually have '12 so I don't know where!)

Thanks

So does anybody else know how to on 2012?
