I'm playing the hell out of this game, as usual.
Won three back-to-back league titles with Juventus, the first one the most difficult because damned Inter is way overpowered in the start of 2010-2011.
In 2012-13 I won the Champions League against Palermo (?!), then resigned Mourinho-style because Barca's and Chelsea's benches were vacant; applied for both, obtained noone despite my world level reputation :mad:
Had some time of off the lawn holiday, then in january 2014 who comes begging for my services? Damn Inter, the most hated, the only one team I'd never train. Ever. But I'm a professional. I accept.
they're floating around the fifth place in the league, and got two bad losses in the CL first round.
I buy three players in the january market window, apply my tested and true 4-1-2-1-2 leaving on the bench almost all of my AMs, and start a streak of 8 league games and 5 CL games won. 5 goals conceded, lots scored.
I manage to climb up to a satisfying second place in the league (two points behind Palermo) with a lot of games still to play, and can pass the round of sixteen in the CL, when suddenly Barca fire their coach. :shifty:
It's the ides of March, I'm gonna backstab the whole of Inter's board, then dance on their bodies :menace:
I release a press conference telling everyone I'm interested in Barca's bench, then apply for the place.
The next day Inter's prez comes to me spitting lava from the mouth asking for my head, which I promptly hand to him.
Barca do not hire me.
by the end of the season, Inter is out of the CL in group of sixteen, out in the Coppa Italia's semis and snatches a fourth place in the league during the last game of the season.
I'm unemployed, and happy. ^_^

Why so much Inter hate? :cry:

Mine's Liverpool. And Tottenham. And any Danish club.
Well, most teams, really.
I still play. Did the same as you, albeit more low-key. Took an unfancied team to semi-glory, with promotion, two championships and two cup wins in Norway and victories in the CL qualifiers against Red Star and Rangers, a win at home and a draw away against Real Madrid in the group stage, and thorough thumpings by Fiorentina. My team finished last. I resigned and got offered the job in the garbage capital of the world; Napoli.
14th in Serie in December when I took over and no real money to spend. The team looks good enough, so I have implemented a sweeper-based system with three at the back, wing-backs, two central midfielders, two wingers and a lone striker. It works a charm for counter-attacking.
I'm still enjoying FM 2010, in my sixth season as Liverpool. Trying to capture all trophies. Charity Shield, Carling Cup, World Club Cup, League, FA and ECC. Once I do that I might switch to 20111. Is it worth the switch?

I suppose the former coach has already sold Lavezzi, Cavani and Hamsik. What a trio of wonders they are in real life!

Is it worth, for a drug addict, to go for a stronger version of his drug of choice?
Main features are:
dynamic reputations make for interesting long-run games in the same league;
a revamped training system is simpler and effective, and one has the ability to prepare three different formations for an upcoming match;
new contract negotiation is pretty funny, & the player agents should be unconditionately burned at stakes;
the 3d visuals are way better than FM10;
press conferences are annoying and useless as before.

I'm playing a rather epic game right now with me at Man U (yes, I'm managing evil incarnate). The rest of the top 4 is made up of Bobby Convey at Man City (twice as much money as me), my former player Anthony "Ball Biter" Annan Managing Arsenal and my former player and a regen managing Fulham (rounding out the top 4).
first 4 seasons at Rosenborg (my local team) giving them two titles and a new stadium.
next 3 seasons at Eintracht Frankfurt (avoiding relagation from Bundesliga 2 first season, propotion to Bundesliga 1 second season and avoiding relagation third season)
disagreements between me and the board room about player wages meant that I willingly accepted the offer from Schalke
next 7 seasons I'm at Schalke 04 winning the Bundesliga 5 times and Europa Cup 1 and CL twice then I get the Man U offer, bored with Schalke I accept
next 5 season I'm at Man U winning the league 4 times and the CL 2 times.
While at Man U the max I've spent on a player is €20M, but I've spent that amount three times, all on players from my youth setup at Schalke. I exploited minimum release clauses to the max. I have 7 English players registered for the first team (out of 25) including a player labelled "The Next Nobby Styles" (who is 18 and rotating in the first team).
I play 4-4-2
Gk - Sweeper
DR - Full Back - Automatic

DC - Central Defender - Stopper
DC - Central Defender - Cover
MC - Ball Winner - Defend
MC - Attacking Midfielder - Support
MR - Winger - Support
ML - Winger - Attack
FC - Advanced Forward - Attack
FC - Deeplying Forward - Support
The wingers are asymetric because my macedonian national team first choice left winger is much much better than my english national team first choice right one, and because the only backup I have to my right winger is either an MC/ST playing out of position or my right back moving up to winger. So, in case of a right wing injury I can have the sub play modestly without changing the game plan. This puts two players into the gap between each line.
Right now I have two or three players in each position except right winger (had been trying to buy a spanish wonderkid from porto, but they sold him to barca for €50 million), so I brought in a 18 y.o. from my youth team who will I don't really rate that much.
I need to buy one next window. I just found this italian wonderkid in the same position.... here's hoping...

The diamond is a wider formation with two wingers, 4-1-2-1-2 is narrower and uses 4 central midifielders; one defensive mid, one ball-winning, one box-to-box and one attacking mid/trequartista.
I usually prepare both wide and narrow formations, and switch between them depending on the opponent.
Update: After a horrible 2014 European Championship, England has offered me to train the national team. :cool:

I have Cavani and Lavezzi. Also, Blasi as a hard man.
I've played 2011 for about 300 hours over the course of 2 or 2 1/2 months. So far I'm only in my fourth season as manager at Arsenal.
Did the Cup double in my first season (had to win something!), won the league the next year, then did the treble the year after that (also rocking Man City in the SuperCup). After that I felt kinda felt like moving on (who was it that said that a manager should leave after three seasons?), but decided to stay. I'm still interested in developing the young players I bought and seeing what will happen when Cesc, van Persie, et al leave.
I bought Adler to replace Almunia early on. He's easily one of the reasons why we've done so well. Sold Clichy to Real Madrid and let Gibbs take over at DL, and he's done all right, though I ended up buying a cheap backup left back/central defender in case Gibbs or Vermaelen gets injured.
Probably the most important player I bought besides Adler was Marek Hamsik from Napoli for 30 million. He and Fabregas in the midfield are fucking sublime.
This past summer transfer window I bought Angel di Maria on the cheap (2.1 million!!!) as Arshavin's replacement. The wily Russian is getting old and can't run around anymore. Too bad - he was my player of the year in my first season.
My tenure at Napoli may be very short. The results are no longer good, the finances are several millions in the red (I have not been buying players, just selling), and some players can't leave quickly enough. :cry:
Any of you guys post your triumphs or defeats using the YouTube uploader?

This match in particular I will always remember fondly. Playing Lyon in the Champions League Final, I go two goals down early in the first half. My side is despondent and playing poorly. I make a couple of changes and give my players an ear full at the half.
We go in and win 4 - 2 after an incredible display. :D
Also, I love this pass: http://youtu.be/Wl8gEPkNr8k

I've been using a pretty run-of-the-mill 4-2-3-1, with a defensive midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker, and an advanced playmaker making up the middle three and a winger and inside forward on the wings.
Typical XI is:
GK - Rene Adler
WBR - Bacary Sagna
CBR - Koscielny/Adil Rami
CBL - Thomas Vermaelen
WBL - Dante/Kieran Gibbs
MCR - Vukojevic/Alex Song
MCL - Fabregas
AMR - Theo Walcott
AMC - Marek Hamsik
AML - Angel di Maria
STC - van Persie
What are your player instructions?

AML - Angel di Maria / Winger - Support
STC - van Persie / Complete Forward - Attack
With Fabregas and Hamsik set to swap positions with each other. Might seem odd to play Fabregas/Hamsik in a defensive midfielder position, but I let them roam around and encourage forward runs.

One thing is for sure; FM has great replayability value. I am on my third career in this version. I've started in Norway, in Germany and in England. If I had a vague clue about the MLS transfer rules, I might give that a go too.
My current career brought me in charge at Nottingham Forest after three seasons at Crewe, and despite a promotion to the Premiership and generally cutting expenses, the board seems to think I can attract talent that will keep the club up with a few shiny beads and pieces of string. I notice you have 45 million pounds sitting in that bank account, mr. chairman. :glare:

It's highly addictive. I discovered the game in October 2009 and didn't play any other game until May 2011--when I decided to take a break and reload EU3...but I can feel my manager fingers itching for another round.
Since it plays well windowed and there's a fair bit of processing going on, it's a great game to play alongside some tv or posting here.

Not exactly a team of superstars, but I'm limited by my lack of funds. I've had some problems with morale so I routinely have to get rid of unhappy players which are clear Bremen first team players today. The little czech striker is on loan from Man U on the second season now, I've tried to sign him, but he keeps refusing. He's transferlisted at Man U, but he doesn't want to join me on a permanent basis. I've tried various combinations for my DC's (stopper/sweeper, limited/ball playing etc) and my AMCs I've found that keeping it simple helps my players not fuck up and act like divas cause they don't win.
How many can honestly say they feel they master the sideline shouts?
I use them, but probably not as much as I should, and mostly in "when all else fails" situations like chasing a draw in the closing minutes or trying to shut up shop completely in the dying moments of a game.
Also, I seemed to have worked out the pitch dimensions aspects of the game, but now I am more unsure of how to handle the small or narrow pitches. On smaller pitches, I tend to play shorter and more narrowly and push up more frequently in defence, and on more narrow pitches, the AMR/AML are more useful due to playing "in the hole" between the opposing midfield and back line.
So some time ago I won the Champions League for the second time in five years and the Premier League for the fifth year in a row. I got pretty bored with the game, so I laid off it for a couple weeks. I thought about starting a game as Malaga or Lille or a team like that but decided to just put the game down instead.
Today I was feeling a little soccerish so I booted my Arsenal save back up. Smashed through a couple of friendlies, no trouble, pretty boring; the only thing that was even mildly exciting was that the "five-year plan" with the four-star youth I have is starting to bear fruit.
Then Rene Adler, my Goalkeeper of the Year Number 1, sprains his back in training three days before the start of the season. Out for a month. Okay, no problem, I'll just put in the 21 year old French backup. Reliable enough, his current ability is only 2 1/2 stars but his potential is 3 1/2 and he's pretty awesome. He'll step up and fill the void. Of course this is when I remember I sold him for £10 million during the summer transfer window. Shit.
Okay, fine. So I go to my backup backup goalkeeper, another 2 1/2 star Frenchman who isn't quite as good but still decent. I click on his little French name and realize to my horror that he's on international duty for the French Olympic team. Shit. I'm fucked. Fuck me. I desperately search the player lists for a decent loan-listed goalkeeper. I pick up two, JUST TO BE SURE. But of course the deals don't get done in time for the first game of the season against Aston Villa, a team who had the third-highest goals-scored last season. :weep:
At the team selection screen I'm left to trawl through my Under-18 squad for a goalkeeper. I just signed a peppy young 16 year old English lad (:bowler:) for pennies who had decent stats for his age along with good potential, so I decide to play him since he's the best among the Under-18s. Might as fucking well, eh? That is until I see a big red button next to his name that says INELIGIBLE. WHAT THE FUCK, I CAN'T EVEN PLAY THE BEST GK ON THE U18 SQUAD. WHAT THE FUCK GAME FUCK YOU TOO.
So I just randomly pick some punk GK who probably just wandered onto the training grounds one day and the U18 coach decided to keep him. I click Play.
What follows is the most incredible season opener ever. The score is 2:4 in my favor at the half.

And it all happened before the eyes of probably the luckiest 17-year-old ever. I give you the worst goalkeeper ever to start for Arsenal FC. DECLAN FRIEND (WTF?)

So, in the end, I guess I learned my lesson. Next time I'll be more careful about selling asshole French backup goalkeepers who keep agitating for a move and be more attentive to useless and unnecessary international tournaments.
Of course now I'm excited about this game again. :cry:
I usually loan a grizzled old veteran goalkeeper of mediocre quality to sit the bench. I find that any decent goalkeeper is going to start bitching about not being allowed to play. Getting a new old guy replacement each year seems to keep everybody happy.

I've found that rotating youngsters into the first team, reserve team and going on loan to keep them happy. Also, if your club is suitably prestigious you can sell your youngsters for a buyback price and a 50% of next transfer so that you don't lose money.

I got Gourcuff, Granero, Lukaku and Badstuber on free transfers and spent 5 million euro for Träsch. I've spent lots more money on other players as well, so I have a deep quality squad. Rolfes as ball winner and Gourcuff as playmaker. I'm really confident this season. Lots of determined, professional and ambitious players with more and more experience.

all while trying my hand at managing Aston Villa, where I was appointed in december 2014, season already compromised. My, what a crappy side the former manager fielded... If I'm lucky, I'll finish between 8th and 11th place.
My side game is a pretty well built Fantasy World League, managing Juventus as usual. The season just started, I've won at home against Lyon, next fixture: away against Barcelona :P

List of features of FM12:
QuoteFootball Manager 2012 allows you to take control of any club in over 50 nations across the world, including all of the biggest leagues across Europe.
You're in the hot-seat, which means you decide who plays and who sits on the bench, you're in total control of tactics, team-talks, substitutions and pitch-side instructions as you follow the match live with the acclaimed 3D match engine allowing YOU to make the difference!
As the boss you'll also have full control of team affairs away from the pitch:
Will you spend big-money on expensive superstars or put a focus on scouting for wonderkids?
How will you approach training & match preparation?
Will you be the chairman's best friend or always demand the best investment from the board?
How do you react when a young star has problems – a shoulder to cry on or a clip round the ear?
And how will you deal with tricky questions from the media?
Now it's time to put your opinions to the test.
New & improved key features for Football Manager 2012:
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 decide on which nations are playable at the start of your career.
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 was 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.
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.
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 5 different tones to choose from with specific comments per tone.
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 over 800 new features making 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.
The usual drooling has started, no matter if there's nothing groundbreaking in the announced features.

In a major major screwup...
My attacking line was
Javier Pastore
Yohann Gourcuff
Renato Augusto
Romelu Lukaku
The first three as attacking midfielders and playmakers and Lukaku as the striker. I won everything but the CL (losing to Valencia in the final as Leverkusen). To deal with injuries and aging players I placed Gourcuff and Augusto on a easier training regieme since they reached 30 y.o. In a massive massive screw up on my part I placed them in my medium training scheme for goalkeepers for a full season rather than the medium training scheme for attacking midfielders. Both dropped a full star in my assmans ratings and both appeared to be reaching the end of their careers. So I offered them for sale for 3x listed value, expecting bids in the 1.5x region. Fortunately I didn't get any bids before I noticed (when moving other players around the training schedules) that I had 3 goalkeepers on the medium training regime. When I checked I found that two of them were Renato Agusto and Yohann Gourcuff. Now I understood why they were declining as players and why they were unhappy with their training regieme; they were training with the goalies.

I basically took two genius attacking midfielders, both worth €10M+ on the transfer market, both first choice players on their national teams both EU citizens (RA lived long enough in Germany) and both of them first choice players for me and turned them into emotional wrecks worth €4M each and both out of favor with both me and their national team coaches. It's not funny, fucking Gourcuff gets paid €200,000 per week, thats fucking expensive.
In other news I got Sergio Busquets on a free transfer paying him 1/4 what he got at Barcelona, with the ability for him to double his wage if he plays every week. He had a broken leg when I signed him but he has 15 Natural Fitness so he has at least 4 years left in his top flight career, not to mention fantastic mental stats. My attack may falter, but, in two months, my defense will be solid.
I finally finished paying for my training mistake by buying Mesut Özil from Real Madrid for €12M + €4M after 30 league games.
That was a fucking €20M Euro mistake plus the massive salary cost for me....
