I've had a nightmare with this...

I bought it earlier today, got it downloaded on steam and now it won't load up on my macbook because my operating system is too old! I've looked online and it looks like i can't download the one thats required to play it on this bloody thing!

It looks like a new laptop is in order,has anyone get any recommendations for one? I don't want to spend much if possible as it will literally just be used to play FM and nothing else?

And does anyone want to buy an old Macbook Pro?!!

forget this!

taken me a couple of hours of searching the web but managed to get it going!
 
Took a while to get used to a few things and sort out the backroom staff but i'm really enjoying it now.

I had a slow start with 2 wins in the first 6 but i'm now top after winning 5 in a row - P11 W7 D3 L1 PTS24

SIgned Jack Clarke on loan from Spurs, Curtis Jones on loan from Liverpool and Jordan Obita on a free.
Got rid of Mcgeady and sent Graham out on loan to try and reduce the wage bill but still ended up having to leave Leadbitter out of the squad.

Was hoping to get a couple more players in on loan but couldn't becasue of a possible takeover and transfer embargo.
Unsurprisingly talks have just collpased, Donald asking too much probably.

Playing my usual 4-3-3

Burge
Sanderson Wright WIllis Obita
Dobson
Power Onien
Clarke---------------Jones
O'Brien​
 
I've gave it two attempts now, start the season mint then go through a mad patch of losing like 5 on the bounce and it's happened on both occasions. Using this BETA as a test run for the real thing but finding it annoying as fuck.
 
:eek: :eek:

CD Keys has it with Beta for £29
Got mine from there yesterday as well.

Started with PAOK as I am going to aim to build up my rep and travel across Europe winning trophies as I go until I work up to an elite job. Absolutely smashing it so far as well, got into group stages of champions league, beating Rapid Vienna, Gent and finally Dynamo Kyiv. In a group with Man City, Atalanta and Zenit. Won against the latter and lost to the other 2. Hoping to get 3rd spot as a minimum. Won 8 from 8 in the league as well so hopefully go on to win it and then it’s a move to Switzerland or Portugal as I have those leagues loaded as well.

:cool:

See they have Zivkovic :eek: Was going to hold off getting FM21 due to having a cracking save on 20 but itching to get it now
 
Gone for a Hearts save to start as their squad on paper looks way too good for the Scottish Championship and should be more than good enough to be established in the SPL. Won 15 in a row to start the season, 13 points clear in the league going into January and in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Tempted to start on Hearts. Any tips?

Exactly the kind of save I want to start with. Usually go with SAFC or a non league team and build up but I want to start with a top domestic European team and win as much as I can. I'll either stick at one and get them as far as I can in Europe and develop my youth or I'll bounce around till I land a top job.

Thinking either :

Steaua Bucharest
Panathinaikos
FC Crvena zvezda (Red Star Belgrade)
Dynamo Kiev
Feyenoord
Ferencvaros
Sparta or Slavia Prague

AZ is a class save if you do Holland. They have a quality little team that can help you challenge for the title in year 1, a really good youth system and the likes of Koopmeiners, Boadu and Stengs who can either be your core or rake you in about £75m to build your own team.

Sounds great, a club with a great youth system would be ideal. Dinamo Zagreb was another possibility.

I quite enjoyed a Brazilian save in fm19, but the season is ludicrously long with about 70 games or more iirc.

Yeah I've wanted to do a Dinamo save a few times but I find the league too easy. Holland is at least a competition. I'll be honest, I live a random European save but I find it difficult with all the differences outside of Europe. Brazil and the divisional leagues is insane, Argentina has the stupid 30 team top flight, 2 titles a year etc.

Yeah, that's what I found. Haven't gone many other places, did a couple of seasons in South Africa but found it really dull with poor quality players and no money. Mexico is appealing.

Guess the challenge with Zagreb would be trying to do well in Europe. Possibly too similar to a Celtic/Rangers save.
