Just to let the addicts know.

Cracked and in the usual places

[Shotgunjim]

Got this in release day... they have managed to make it better than before. The best part being the improved team talks and faster tactical changes you can make. Awesome

[Geko]

Cracked in a week anyway. Yet they still made us that paid for it install that shit hogging piece of software, Steam!

[raelmadrid]

nothing wrong with steam

[ant3b]

Steam owns

[Geko]

Steam is shit (in my expert opinion ). And now my PC takes longer to start and longer to shut down.

I'm going play it tonight, the game is impressive but will take a while getting used to. Especially with the amount of info you get on your players now! WTF!

Aren't all the path settings done in the .xml files that come with the graphic patches?

edit:
Here is the .xml that is with Southport in the Conference from FM2011.

I'd assume you have to edit these to match the graphics you have to the correct team id in-game - this is an on/off option in the settings (at least on 2011).

Is anyone finding the transfer fees a bit ott? For instance I'm Arsenal and Dortmund wanted 80 million for Gotze :S

[Red Phoenix]

seems pretty realistic lol the transfer market isn't what it used to be. I remember when Zidane moved for £45million, the world was in uproar. Now your talking about £125million for messi! players on £300k (eto'o) a week! ridiculous!
