Newcastle – April 2012 game
Since last month, i’ve been taking a lot of half-season challenges. How you do it ?
Simple. Either you start a new game in the League you want (in my case England) or you start a game in January 2012 (you can start in Norway or other northern countries and just add England leagues).
In my game, after 19 games, Newcastle was last, with just 14 points. I take control of the team and of course that the first game wouldn’t be easy: Arsenal. And i had a lot of injuries. Hatem Ben Arfa, Chiek Tiote out for about 2 months, Demba Ba was on ACN (Africa Cup of Nations). I was happy aldo with 2 of the transfers that Newcastle had done in the Paul Lambert period (yea, i’ve replaced Paul Lambert on Newcastle): Michael Krohn-Dehli and Vasily Kobin. Unfortunately, i didn’t had Pappis Cisse (excellent goal scorer IRL for Newcastle).
Anyway, even with that team, i managed to smash Arsenal at home: 3-0. Jonas Gutierrez was involved in all the 3 goals, as a substitute.
After that result, many more good (and some bad) results game.
Now, after 31 games (12 in league for me), i have 35 points and i am in the 14th place. Decent, but not good enough, yet.
And now, some screenshots. First, the matches played since i’ve come to the club:

FM 2012 is out now!
Well, the game was out since the 21st of October, but because i live far away from UK and the Steam game is altmost duble in money (really, 42 vs 70 $), i prefer to wait it’s arrival in Romania so I can buy it. It’s a very good game, but I have friends in UK that say that the match engine it’s a bit weird in some matches.
I hope they will sort this out and give us a patch in which we can play as a real fan of FM 2012 
Until then, it’s job time, meaning no FM 2012 until wednsday.
FM 2012 for sale since 21st of October!
Well, SI informed everyone the official date for FM 2012: 21st of October 2011. It’s great news actually, we expected to see the game somewhere near Christmas, but to find that in just one month we can have the game is excellent.
Of course, for a taste of it, we should have a demo in about 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see some of the modifications, but i am sure that all the people expect the full game and it’s new features.
Until then, we still rely on FM 2011 transfer updates to play a little. But the time is coming….. for FM 2012!
FM 2012 – primele imagini
Cei de la SI au adus si primele screenshoturi cu FM 2012, asa ca pun si eu cateva imagini luate de pe FMRO. Mai multe imagini puteti gasi pe FMRO.
FM 2012 on the move!
Well, we’ve got some info about the new FM 2012, a game that will come out before Christmas 2011 (from some information they say they will take it out on 4th of November 2011). In this new game in the series are around 800 new improvements to the match engine, but also to the transfer & contracts, scouting (i always wanted a better scouting system, we just have to wait for the demo to see what’s up) a new tutorial and other stuffs.
But the 2 most important changes are quite big: first, you can manage any nation and club around the world (FM World), meaning that even if you didn’t select that nation first at the start of the game, you can take a team from there and the league is automaticaly activated (as far as i’ve understand).
Second one is the tone, meaning the type of personality you can create on press conferences. It’s quite experimental, so i’m curious to see what’s on about.
And of course, the official thing about FM 2012
Key new & improved features for Football Manager 2012:
Transfers & Contracts – significant changes to the transfer and contract systems, including loyalty bonuses, better implementation of amateur and youth contracts, an improved transfer centre and the ability to lock areas of the contract negotiation when you aren’t prepared to budge. This helps you to manage your budgets and gives you flexibility in what you offer money hungry players, or agents, as incentives.
Scouting improvements – using several real life scouting reports, a new in-game report has been devised which includes squad analysis, tactics information and information about goals scored and conceded alongside lots of other scouting improvements, giving you all the information you need to prepare before kick-off and throughout the season.
3D Match Improvements – new animations, a whole new crowd system, improved weather system, more stadiums, plus two brand new cameras – “Behind Goal” and “Director Cam” as well as all other camera angles being reversible – meaning you can watch and analyse every aspect of every game.
Manage Anywhere, Anytime – the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning you don’t have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be playable at the start of your career.
Tone – a whole new level has been added to team talks and conversations, with the new tone system, which allows you to specify the way you want to say things – be as cool as a cucumber by saying things calmly or throw tea cups around by saying things with passion. There are 6 different tones to choose from with specific comments per tone.
Intelligent Interface – a new adaptive layout system, which means the higher your screen resolution, the more info is easily at your fingertips. The new interface also contains new filters, customisable columns, a new tactics screen, and lots of new overview screens.
Brand New Tutorial – standing separate from the main game, a mode to help new players find their way around the game easily, whilst also offering tips to experienced managers on how to get the most out of the game, as well as a new in-game “how to” system.
On top of these key innovations, there are lots of areas of the game that have had huge improvements, such as the media system, press conferences, the youth system, newgens, the social networking options, friendlies, international management and many more which will be detailed in a series of video blogs over the coming months, alongside more information about Football Manager 2012.
