Football Manager 2013

has anyone got it?

if so what are your thoughts on it, saw it out shopping for £20 and was sorely tempted.

the new match engine looks great

Do it.

Have u got it mate?

Its great fella, well worth it

I've got it. Started Germany, England and Spain. Started as manager of St Pauli and now in second season at Bayern Munich (got hired after getting promotion with St Pauli). Won league and cup with Bayern in first season but awful in Europe.

I've got it,Currently Chelsea ibn my 3rd season, Have won Fa Cup,Super cup,World Club Cup,Charity Shield and got to a Champions League Final but lost ,Finished 2nd first seaon and 4th second, Currently 2nd with 20+ games gone and only 2 points between me, Arsenal,Spurs, and Citeh.

Signed Falcao for £52m

Not so much cash at Bayern. No big players in. Insigne, Destro and Muriel picked up on frees. And bought Marko Marin as cover on the wing.

Sounds a bit easy!

German league is actually not that tough if you manage to get picked up by a decent club. St Pauli was tough because everytime I had a player who could kick a ball someone put a bid in and the board accepted. Basically I lost my best player 6 times. Oh .... that's how Arsenal fans feel.
At Bayern the issue is Europe. Any of the top 8 to 10 clubs are buying £40m - £50m players and I have a total transfer budget of £10m.

It can be as easy or hard as you want it to be really, obviously the bigger the team the easier it is, with United I have had a 130 odd game unbeaten run and won a ridiculous amount of trophies.

I'm waiting for the up to date data patch to land before starting a new game, had a great save with Fleetwood last year so looking at the lower leagues again.

Have avoided FM 2013 instead restarting a game in CM01/02 with updated players - can get through a season in literally 2 hours!

I'm doing a burton Albion career with th 2012 version.

Bloody hard, but good.

Have a 24k transfer budget after selling my star defender chris riggot for about 60k and have a wage budget of 19k for the whole squad.

It's fricking brilliant, avoided relegation out of the football league by the skin of my teeth, have started to move out as many of the older past it but on big wage players as I can and bring in youth that might hopefully make the club money to build up the training facilites etc etc.

But after a fantastic start up to third I'm now dropping like a stone and have started to look over my shoulder at Gateshead and Southend.

Hard but love it, plus it satisfies my need to sign players again.

Like the idea of doing the 01/02 version Ben , is that a free download??

Yeah, free download - http://www.champman0102.co.uk/forum.php - there is an updated patch as well for this season!

I might try and find an editor and put come of the CF squads in. Could be interesting to see what happens over the course of a season!

Omg !

That's awsome - I'm in a world if trouble !
