[Official] Football Manager 2011


Recommended Posts

To be honest I'm playing the demo and I'm not enjoying it. ?I want a game to at least be enjoyable, I'm fed up with all this player happiness, media talk and comments. ?The community is quite big and move fast, but I'm not so sure it's that nice. ?I want a nice light easy game to hop in and out of, just like CM. ?Sadly the depth of FM is putting me off.

I love FM11 so far been playing quite alot and I have got my West Ham team to 3rd in first season with some good freebies like Vassell and Kapo and selling ?9m of players. I did pay some big money for Paulo Henrique and its paid off so far!

... I just cant play this manager anymore :/ every year the same same things to do.. its so boring!!!!

I mean what could you ever change to make it better??? the answer is nothing!!! The graphics are good as they are and the gameplay is / was too...

There is simply nothing they could do so much better to make me buy this game again :/ its sad but its exactly like that...

Maybe next the should bring it on WII with whole new controls.. maybe i give it a shot then...

That is true, feature wise you struggle to see what else that can currently add. ?The only area I think that would be an improvement is the match engine, that is something that can be refined and tweaked and also graphics wise look can be improved, but that would only be possible with efficiencies and technological advances (ie new system specs)

They can still branch out to consoles, where the main problem is usability but to be honest I can't see why they force users to use a wireless mouse or pointing device and just re do the interface to make it easier to use, even the PC one makes me click too many times.

Also they should be looking to expand in current or new markets, as there is only so much you can do for one market.

I am dropping points now like a bitch :( lost a stupid game to Spurs and drew 1-1 with Liverpool but we were losing for majority of the game.

My defence is pretty bad and making stupid mistakes. You know you've got a bad defence when Jonathan Spector is your best defender :laugh:

haha I loaned Rafael from Man Utd and he's rating at 7.7 after 20 odd games this season :D he's a star!

I am slightly keeping 3rd in EPL, 5 points clear of Arsenal in 4th!

So do you recommend this over FM 2009 and 2010?

I played both of those till the CD/DVD wore out so yeah I do it has playability for many many months!

I found Robert Green to be as poor in this game as in real life :rofl:

i love soccer/football but whats better this or fifa ?

well Fifa you can play the team as in control the players and in FM you manage the club (buying players,renewing contracts etc)

but to answer your question....FM is my first love now

Perhaps he was talking about the notoriously ****ty FIFA Manager, I think I just answered his question by the way..

FM is the only real choice if you want to play a football sim game, the FIFA and CM games suck so bad that you'd want to put a bullet between your legs just to feel something other than disgust and "WTF".

oh yeah forgot about that game...for good reasons! :p

I haven't seen daylight in weeks thanks to this game.

Managed to get celtic to the semi final of the champs league, found some excellent young prospects. John spence in my game is a rock in defense, cisse is banging them in up front, found a couple decent midfielders too. I've invested so much time in scouting so far.

Easily the best FM yet

Haha. Yep he's been pretty bad for me too. Unfortunately the reserves aren't much better so i had to buy another keeper.

I also had a crazy experience with a player who i bought and seeing as he wasn't match fit i put him in the reserve team. Well he didn't like that and handed in a transfer request and wouldn't budge on his position. So i sold him in the same transfer window :laugh:

Between this and Civ V it's any wonder i get sleep at all.

I had to speak to Carlton Cole and terminated his contract for ?1.9m :pinch:

Are you finding his finishing to be absolutely shocking as well?

oh god yeah, he got injured after 3 weeks and was out for 2 months and never got fit enough...he couldn't score at all! which is why I brought in Vassell in on a free and he's been firing them in

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
