BondJovi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Due to my hectic lifestyle... I opted for the classic mode. I got Derby promoted but 10 games into the prem I lost interest, maybe my inept signings had something to do with it. I haven't been on it for a few weeks... normally these games ruin me.

Smyth_18 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Depressed. I went 3-0 up at home to forest in 25 mins. By half time it was 3-3. Sammon made it 4-3 in 78th min. They equalised with a free kick on 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbrom1404 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 yeah, i like it but it takes time to get used to the new layouts. Ok, think I might get it soon then 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I beat Forest 0-7 in my new game. They haven't won a game since and are rock bottom. We are, of course, top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wow, what formations and players did you buy to win by such a landslide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 4-5-1 attacking, rigid, press more, cautious tackling, counter attack. Two wide men are inside forwards. Just played them at home, lost 0-2, so... Only players I've signed this time around are Michael Briggs on loan, Jamie Mackie on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 'Global Brand' Notts Forest are yet to leave the Championship, while my Burton team look for midtable security after back to back promotions. Beat them 2-0 at the City Council Ground first game of the 2014/15 season, after they lost in the COCup to a Derby team that still has Hughes and Sammon in their second season in League 1.

Jourdan Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 For those of you on a top-flight adventure, guiding the Rams to Premier League glory or otherwise, check out our old comrade, Alberto Bueno. I've been playing as Spurs this week. I signed him in the summer 2012 transfer window for an initial £1m rising to £2.5m. He's scored 16 goals in 25 appearances. Play him as a lone striker in the role of 'poacher' and let the magic happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markuzdcfc Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Okay so I brought this game along with a brand new spanking laptop. The last game I played was FM2011 so it was a huge shock to the system seeing the new revamp! Love the Football Manager game series and get really addicted to it. I have to be honest though I usually start as Derby but this year I really can't do it. Our squad is seriously underrated so I started a game with League 2 side York City. Derby have an amazing youth setup on the game especially for League 2/BSP sides . The likes of Josh Lelan are absolute immense for a loan I currently lie about 3rd in league with the best defence in the league loaning players from Derbys youth team.

The likes of Josh Lelan are absolute immense for a loan I currently lie about 3rd in league with the best defence in the league loaning players from Derbys youth team. I would say our squad is seriously overrated. Having played the first season with a basic 4-4-2 keeping the same tactic in every single game, I won the league albeit by only 3 points. Our strikers were awesome. Sammon grabbing 21 goals and Theo with 17. Many of our squad are now worth 4M in the Premiership. Very silly really. The game is once more too easy. How can anyone start with Derby, alter the squad by only one player (Clint Hill loaned in), not alter the tactics and remain top of the league the entire season. Just going to start my first season in the Premiership. I have got some French kid called Sanogo on a free and my big signing is Cork in the midfield at 5.5M. Just need a left back and I'm ready to go. The squad will be mostly what it is at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I dont know if you can call it a "glitch" but i always find teams that are supposed to be at the top of the championship near relegation and teams like peterborough in the top 6. Kinda annoying really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just won the league cup with the Rams. Third season in, second in Prem....currently 6th, possible 5th finish.

I have a real issue with Wolves in my game, I can never beat them and it is really annoying me! I have the exact same problem. Got to my 5th season with Derby went up with wolves and they beat me every time best result I have against them is a 1-0 loss. It's crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markuzdcfc Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Think I've finally got it sussed for Derby. Playing my first season & not making any notable signings (2 young free players & Malaury Martin on a free) . Playing a basic 4-4-2 with Fielding in goal. Brayford - Keogh - O'brien or Gjokaj - Roberts as my main defence. Alternating between O'brien & Gjokaj because they both have an average rating of over 7 at the midway point. Also Freeman is a very useful player if I need cover at LB or RB. My main Midfield consists of Ben Davies - Craig Bryson as a Deep Lying Playmaker - Jeff Hendrick/ Paul Coutts - Jacobs. Obviously alternating the midfield quite a lot to accommodate the likes of Hughes & Martin who can both play as Deep lying Playmakers. Hendrick is most useful as a Box to box midfielder. My strike force Is Sammon - Robinson. Sammon is playing as a Defensive Forward and Robinson as an advanced Forward. So far this season after 24 or so games they have scored 30+ goals between them and my derby team is currently 2nd in the table . P24 W12 D9 L3 F35 A20. It's also worth noting that some players I've not mentioned like Ward & Tyson are all benched players. Depending on the fitness/Ratings of others I alternate them all. I also hold the 4th best home record & the 1st away in the league. Unbeaten away in the league. Side note I beat Forest 4-3 at the city ground after going 2-0 down.
