Announcement was made yesterday with the updates and improvements as well as screenshots for the new Football Manager game.
Must say it looks fantastic and with some overhauls such as tactics and transfer market negotiations with new clauses added, this is looking like an absolute cracker of a game and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Just bought it for 35 euro off thefmformation.com.
Goodbye life.
id love to know who does do up the stats for ireland

That guy. Does a very good job in fairness to him, always looking for updates from clubs fans as well as officials and coaches. Full time job really.
yh i can never really complain about the stats think they are quite accurate this year
Has anyone played it much?
The researcher was doing some serious work this year.
Case in point...
Going as far as researching junior teams in Galway. That might not have made it in yet, but nice to see.Quote:
Anyone remember a player called Dean Lawrence? Was with Rovers, Shels and Kildare County in the LOI? Trying to find out if he's still playing anywhere, last record I can find for him is SacredHeart Fc in 2011-12 season?
I'm very happy to see steam workshop integration. It isn't very well served yet, but give it time.
I'll leave it another while until I pick it up. Decided to pre-order the new Xbox so FIFA will keep me happy until Xmas.
Haven't played quite as much as I'd have liked to.
Few problems, which I've forwarded on to be fixed in the next patch.
League of Ireland under-19 teams. A mix up in the system left League of Ireland under 19 clubs as separate entities altogether, meaning, for example, Finn Harps, and Finn Harps under-19s are two separate clubs. It's fairly annoying, but I just fixed it in the editor myself.
Shaun McGowan is listed as player/assistant manager at Harps. Instead of Sean McGowan as assistant, and Shaun McGowan as player. Instead, Sean McGowan is listed as unattached. Also to be corrected in the next patch.
A huge, in depth list of players in Ireland including a massive amount of junior and intermediate players. A large proportion of those players are only in the game though because they were previously attached to League of Ireland clubs. They simply kept on their profiles from previous games and added them to their new clubs.
The guy who updates the Irish section deserves massive credit for the amount of work and research he does.
doesnt he just,Quote:

Used to work doing that type of thing. It really is hard work keeping track of everyone.Quote:

Yeah he said he tried to sort out the 19's league as it is currently, rather than the youth system that's always been in place in FM, but there was some sort of mix up in the database.Quote:

just out of interest did anyone ever create an irish database for fm which included the LSL, MSL and so on, because i was trying to do so but kept effing up on it
Not quite that but what I've done with FM14 is create a pyramid with the 226 Irish clubs in the database. It contains 15 divisions all linked with promotion/relegation. I was thinking of putting in a straight ladder structure with 15 levels but I decided to go with only 4 levels. Basically the 1st three tiers are Premier, First & Second divisions containing 18 teams. Then the 4th tier has 12 sub-divisions with promotion play-offs for the 172 remaining clubs. There are 6 teams pro/rel from tiers 3 & 4.Quote:

The top 4 in each division of tier 4 enter a cup style playoff leading to 6 finals, with the winner of each final being promoted.
Cheers, looks really good.
Yep, I`ve done it for both 13 & 14.Quote:

Bought the new xbox so didn't bother buying FM yet. Will pick it up for 20 quid in a month or two.
that looks quite deadly
WexCar, any chance of you uploading the DB for download. Would love to give that a go. Looks quality
Good man thanks. Will try them out of the next few days
The FM14 one doesnt seem to download. Its just a black circle with a white dot going round it. Try upload it to mediafire. I find that good.
Here ya go, hope this works :)Quote:

Does the FM13 file work OK? I find that whenever I edit the Irish leagues, the game always crashes around early December? Has anyone had similar problems and is there a way to get around this. Looks impressive BTW.
I've had no issues with FM13 LOI edit, went through 15 seasons.Quote:

Just done a bit of work on it there. Iv added in prize money for all leagues and a few cups. Looks good so far. Well done
I didn't leave any of that out, don't know why they would be missing on your end :confused:. WRT prize money I didn't have any for the leagues, only the cups. I had TV money for the leagues instead.Quote:

I prob wont be able to actually play FM 14 for another few weeks, I want to restructure the MLS & create a Canadian league system before I start. So if you or anyone else using the database do come across any issues could ya let me know?
Enjoy your gaming!!!
Will do
I have a quite bad computer, and FM13 already runs quite slowly here.
Is FM14 much heavier than FM13 and FM12? Has the game improved in relation to those anyways? Otherwise I think I won't buy it this year
For once, as far as I can see, the recommended running specs really are recommended. Doesn't work on my laptop, but works on my computer. Which is pretty annoying, seeing as I use the laptop much more.Quote:
