Football Manager

Ola Toivonen has always done well for me. I bought him as a back up in one of my Liverpool saves and he scored quite a few goals both as a starter and off the bench. Then I did a save with PSV and Toivonen was a monster.

Finally got sacked by Porto. I've been trying to get out of that job all season. I just kept declaring my interest to other clubs.

I've been approached by Middlesbrough. They are currently lying in 14th in the Championship.

Any news on FM12?

Been playing this again after a long break

Started as Charlton, brought in Fred Sears and Josh Mceachran on loan so far, and drew with Boro in the first friendly. Need to get promoted for the board to be happy

My computer is having a tough time with 3D graphics, so I went back to the 2D engine. So retro

My charlton team has been wildly inconsistent. Giving out four goal beatings at home, then taking three goal losses at Brentford. I think I'll get it figured. Bright side is Febian Brandy has already hit double digit goals after I signed him at trial day.

Also, I need to stop forming attachments to video game footballers.

I bought Jordan Henderson in season 1 and he's been pure class opposite Bale on the rightwing. The only problem is that he's blocking my regen English rightwinger who is going to be massively better than Henderson. I just can't bear to part with Henderson.

Obviously I could simply leave Henderson on the bench as a backup, but with his salary he makes too much to leave as a backup. It's like when I sold Glenn Johnson a few years back.

I feel that way about Dirk Kuyt. He's older now and doesn't belong in my squad at all yet I keep him there and play him. He was very clutch for me in my first two years and would always play well in big matches. As long as he wants a contract, I'll give him whatever he demands.

Signed Callum Davenport on a free, and he's really settled my defence down

This may have been answered already, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Is Fifa Manager 11 any good?
Is it worth its $40 price tag?
Is it better then FB manager 11?

 

[calgaryballer]

No

 

[calgaryballer]

Starting to get quite angry with my charlton side. We can go away to a top eight team and win by three. We then return to the valley and get hit up for three ourselves. The finishing has been woeful of late. Like 20 shots, nine on target and no goals.

Almost at January and we are outside the playoffs. Third is only four points away, so still well sighing striking, but Brighton and southhampton are running away from the pack

I haven't played it, but I seriously doubt it can even compare to FM.

Build a new one. Its easy. I basically stopped playing FM since it killed my laptop when I tried. The new desktop is a monster at it.

This thing is a beast, less than 3 weeks old. I think I either put in too small a PSU or GPU is frakked. I'll be taking it apart again this weekend to try and resolve the issue

I'm no expert, but if your power supply is too small, would it just be dying, rather than performing below expectations?

The computer runs fine, as long as I don't go in to 3D applications. I can then play for about 5-30 minutes, before the whole thing hardlocks. That suggests that everything is fine, until the GPU tries to draw full load from the PSU and it can't handle it

That would make sense. How big of a power supply did you go with? How powerful of a graphics card do you have?

Been playing a lot as I try to become an Arsenal fan and learn the team. So I was searching the internet to learn some tips and things when I found this.

600W and a 6950 2GB. I thought I had gone 650, but was mistaken. This weekend I plan on upping it to a 700+

Same video card I have. I ended up going with a 1000w PSU, which is overkill. But it came as part of a package with my case (which is friggin huge) so it was a good deal.

Good video card. Zero issues so far.

I was going to fire up a new game last night, after I downloaded the latest pic pack updates, but got distracted by other game.
