I just unzipped it and then all my players suddenly had their faces.

Also didn't realise you can reverse the Fake Germany/Japan issue mid-game too.

I've decided to play as Woking for now, and left the Arsenal save there just incase I fancy it, but it's unlikely. I'll probably see this through until i've won the Champions League, so a good few years left until that haha!

My first game of the season is a nice easy fixture away to Man City! I've signed some wicked players that I found. Got a bloke from Standard who I kept trying to sign last season who scored 19 goals in 18 games, and 1 in 1 before I managed to grab him this season. And then I got carried away and signed a few more strikers too so Hooper's gonna struggle to get a game.

I'll post some screenshots of my regens later on maybe. Some are sooo good!

Just realised I've made the Carling Cup final every season I've played with Spurs. Shame I've only one won.

2nd year in a row Leicester have knocked me out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round

Is it just me or does it always seem like some banana split is getting his first ever goal for his club against you? Just had two of them from Bolton in one game.

Just finished and epic 2015/16 season with Celtic. A lot of my investment in youth payed off big time. Five youngsters cemented themselves in the first team and gelled well with the existing experienced squad. I won the SPL at a canter. Didn't even break a sweat. My team put up a decent fight in the Champions League, but one or two hammerings meant we finished 3rd in our group and dropped into the Europa Cup. I then scraped past Copenhagen. Then Benfica. Then Sampdoria and got PSG in the semi finals. I managed to beat them 3-1 at Celtic Park against the run of play. At the Parc de Prince we took an early lead but then lost 4 sloppy goals and took a pounding. By some fluke we kept them to only 4 goals before the 94th minute when my lone striker made a break away at goal. He got tripped in the box and my 17 year old Czech winger stepped up to send us to the final in Cardiff where we played Valencia.

To be honest, I thought we'd be out of our depth against Valencia, but we gave them an absolute doing and won 3-0 with no bother at all.

And that's Accrington into the Championship

Came 2nd, two points behind Derby and 2 points ahead of Crystal palace. Was very close as I was 3rd for a month or two, thankfully CP lost on 2nd to last to jump them - Derby lost too and was hoping they could drop points on final day - but I got auto-promotion so Im more then happy

Sadly most my team is loan and I can se me struggling next season. Obika and Shelvey going back (obika has 70ish goals this season in all competitions as well, he's a damn machine)

Just playing Benfica away in the champions league and I noticed a flare going off in the crowd. Anyone seen this before?

I've heard about that from somewhere else too, never seen it myself though as I play in 2D Classic.

Had a very poor run where even after all i've done, the fans started to turn on me after losing to Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. Things have started to turn around though, Hooper's had two 8.8 performances in a row, and that regen striker I signed has scored 7 in 13 which is probably the best record i've had since I started as Woking boss.

Just finished my first season (had the game since launch, started around about 10 games).

Things were going nicely in January. I was confounding the mid-table predictions and firmly in a play-off spot. FC Halifax were a full 10 points clear however, and I didn't even consider us title challengers. Then some weird happened, and we went on a FIFTEEN game winning streak. During the same period, FC Halifax imploded, getting 2 wins in the same period. They dropped out of the title picture, even the play-off picture, and we romped to the title with 3 games to spare.

Stand out players were striker Omar Koroma, a free signing recommended at the start of the season by my new scout, and Jim Lauchlan, a big central defender I brought in purely to stand on the post at corners and nod them in.





19 goals for a defender! Every one a header!

Now I don't know wether to apply for a new job (2 clubs coming down from League 2 without managers), or just stick with my side and hope the gulf between the Blue Square North and Premier isn't too big. My entire squad is out of contract, and I think I might just keep the two from above and recruit a whole load of free signings.

Speaking from my experience from Woking, I totally abused every team in the BSBP. I think I had to qualify via playoffs from League Two, won League One, Playoffs for Championship after two seasons.

Check out a player called Ryan Smith, he's a pacey left winger who bagged me a ton of assists who I think joined me in the BSBP so might be willing to come to you if he's cheap.

Stuck with Blyth. Let most of the squad go, brought in free signings and managed to slash the wage bill in half. I'm predicted to finish bottom, but after 2 games and 2 wins I'm top. I've changed formation slightly from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1-1. My scout also found this stunning youngster that was at Loughborough University without a contract. At 16 he's already rated my best striker. In the first game he was injured after 16 minutes, but in the second game he scored a wonderful hat trick to win us the game.

Anyone want me to gift 'em a copy then?

What do I need to delete to reinstate the real player German national side?

In your C Drive, the directory is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2012\data\db\1200\lnc\all

Go in there and delete the file Fake.lnc

This will take effect in your save from the next time national squads are selected, no need to restart.

hink you might need to tweak Steam a little to make sure it doesn't auto replace the file. Think it's the verify game cache or auto updates or summat.

It's showing at €20 for me on Steam atm.

(exchange rates I know but it should be around a tenner)

Would someone be able to gift me a copy? I'd very much appreciate it.

Do you send the person a link then they pay for it I'd assume?
