    Got any tips? I'm running low on coins and need a little boost.

    Looking to start an IF Miccoli fund as well. Only 350,000 to go :bandit:

    Only played it briefly at a mates house but it was very good. I might see if I can pick it up quite cheap online somewhere.

    On the other hand I haven't even started AC Revelations yet, and I've had it for over 2 weeks now. I just can't find much time for my PS3 at the moment and when I do I normally get distracted by FIFA.

    What's happened to the market? Players just don't seem to be selling at all. Is it due to the TOTY?

    Yeahh, everyone's trying to sell all their players so they can buy packs to hopefully get TOTY players, so the prices are all really low at the moment.

    You can't just make up overall ratings, it doesn't work like that on Fifa. Overall ratings are generated after you input all the individual attributes.

    Hatem's ability is still all there, you can see it. He's had a really bad injury and come back as immense as he was when he first came here.

    Only a couple of points till I'm promoted to division 4. It's been all easy up to now, does it get serious at Division 4 and up?

    Division 4 isnt too bad, but every time I get promoted to Division 3 I find it to be a huge step up and I've never survived a season there.



    Henry just scored a hattrick in my MLS UT <diva>

    Just started my 3rd season with Newcastle on FM 12 <diva>!

    I finished my first season in 7th, my second season in 6th and now I have my sights on breaking the Top 4. I got rid of Best, Guthrie, Gosling and Coloccini put in a transfer request cause City came in for him :( But tbf, I got 10 million on a 30 year old dude <diva>! I brought Erik Pieters for 4 million who was at Villa for exchange for Leon Best. Got Coutinho on loan from Inter too. I brought Erdnic too. Erdnic looks like he's gonna turn out to be a beast for me, he came on to score the winner against Sunderland in the opening fixture and scored in the Europa League after that then scored 2 against Everton.

    This is my line up so far:

    Krul
    Santon Tomkins Taylor Pieters
    Obertan Cabaye Tiote Ruiz
    Ben Arfa
    Erdinc​

    Bench: Elliot, Samba, Coutinho, Skjlbred, Jonas, Ba, Collison

    I find Ba completely useless on FM, he never scores for me, never ever! I got Collison as back up for Tiote as Graham Carr rates him very highly and I usually use him in the League after Europa League games as players are usually tired.

    Wish me luck :D

    Just rented Fifa12 from Lovefilm (bargain of a service!)

    Started my Virtual Pro season.
    I'm only 3 games into the season, And my Manager has already sold Raylor, Jonas AND Ben Arfa!!
    My team has no depth now..

    So annoyed!

    We've only bought in two players, Matt Dawson and Javier Marquez(?)

    Least I beat Sunderland..

    How much better is FM12 than 11. I've edited the squads on mine so i'm playing with the current team but i'm wondering whether to just buy the new(er) one

    I prefer it, but it's not life-changingly better. I'd wait til it's on discount or until FM13. I don't plan on getting a new one until FM14, if I can restrain myself.

    There are a few much improved features, but some bits are annoying. It's also a little bug ridden (what once a year game isn't?). For example, mine has randomly lost all the league position histories for one of my saves, and my manager (and possibly all staff members) have stopped gathering knowledge of places they work in - I've managed Standard Liege for nearly 2 years and my profile says I still have no knowledge of Belgium (this issue might only be cosmetic - my staff are still recommending players from where they should be, despite no knowledge beyond their original knowledge when I signed them). Plus, the opposition scouting is less useful than it used to be.

    Looks like I got a bargain on IF HBA.

    Payed 30k and Yaya Toure and the guy accepted the trade offer.

    He's going for around 75-80k minimum. <ok>

    Can someone explain to me why Lover is only a 70 for pace on Fifa now?

    He should be in the mid 80's. Not as fast as he used to be, but still very quick.
