I dont mean in a way that is it old hat etc, i mean has anyone actually played it through a few seasons without it being fucked (im sure some have like!)??

I bought it in Nov '10 when it came out & i have to say its the buggiest version ive ever seen from them, very dissapointed.
I simply cannot get it to play few matches in a row without crashing all the time. Tried everything, running smaller database, not many leagues etc.
I gave up on the fucker last year and waited for the patches....started again this month, still the same.
Me mate plays it ll the time, into many seasons, and has a lower spec PC than me!

Just tried it again and same thing...wondering if any other SMBers had problems, cos i know its popular with you lot (or used to be).

Nah mate, i'm a grown up.
 
Bit pointless you posting that bit of sarcasm after 2 pages of people who do play it.
if you'd been first to reply maybe it would have been funny like, but..............

Oh, so he didn't intend it as irony then, posting a blatantly childish reply claiming to be a "grown up"? :lol:
 
I got it in Jan and have played 3 games, can't get into it at all.
 
I had this problem and found how to stop it (so far so good anyway). Go into the Documents file, then Sports Interactive, then Football Manager, there should be a Temporary file, delete whats in there and the game should stop crashing. Worked for me anyway. You need to do this for every new game you start.

Which file make? Is it someting do to with the game's cache?

To be honest, theres a lot of help on the SI fourm by staff,but once it gets to a stage where they just cant help, they seem never to respond. I think there are a number of issues but theyve just accepted they cant be fixed. :neutral:
 
Think I'll start another game of it tonight and give it another go. Not doing owt this evening (keeping meself fresh for the journey down tomorrow) so might try doing my usual of going a shite team in the hopes of doing what i used to always manage in the old ones and bringing them up the leagues etc. Might go for scottish third division since at least i cant get relegated there! Hopefully some team there will give me time to get it right, rather than telling me to piss off when me contracts up, i'm going to be a financially prudent manager this time I've decided, and shall focus on youth development

If you want a really hard challenge, then try managing Moyola Park in the Northern Ireland Third Division. It just simply is not fun at all. Got annoyed and blasted the save to hell.

Ditto Depor B team in the Spanish 4th (iirc) division. Age restrictions (which I knew nowt about), no cash and every time I find a potential transfer target young gem for nowt bloody Depor first team step in and sign him up!

Yeah its the game cache, in the temporary file as described in my origional post, A mate of mine had the issue and he did it and it worked.

:lol: I can imagine that being very frustrating! I've opted for Albion Rovers in the Scottish Third (with my reputation set to automatic of course). Loads of loan players in the squad, which im never too happy with, so i've gone on the hunt and brought in some canny young players. Looking forward to having another go at it like, but no doubt I'll get pissed off again soon!
 
Play mine for hours on a custom database without any problems. But it does crash when I'm starting a new game if I have anything else running
 
Finally got FM2011 for my birthday, but it's still in the wrapping, it's far too nice outside and I know if I install it I won't leave the flat for days...
