Marky. 6,946 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's ok mate, loving it so far, just promoted loads of youth players What kind of players can we attract btw?In admin you are limited, though if you manage to get out, you'll be able to sign Sandaza for free, Jennings, Kenneth, spl players like that, most national reputation players, but Ian Black wont sign, neither will any former players like McGregor or Aluko. You shouldn't struggle immensely to sign players that in real life would be realistic, but there will probably be ones who would sign that in real life would be unlikely, like Zac Whitbread who is always recommended.

Marky. 6,946 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Just started up, still in receivership Go to finder and type start_in_admin and it should bring up the file. Right click it and open with textpad.Problem is for me that when I've found this file I get this :## Start In Administration ### Start In Administration parameters:# "START_IN_ADMIN" "Club Name" # e.g "START_IN_ADMIN" "Portsmouth" ## When adding clubs to start in administration, make sure club finances in the starting DB are # set to reflect the financial distress. Also consider adding a transfer embargo in the appropriate# EDT file. Also, the club should not yet have a CVA setup in the DB as one will be negotiated in the# game when the club exits administration.#PS. I'm using 12.2Says on a website that if you remove that to trash, it shouldn't harm the game, so maybe remove to trash, and if anything fucks up move it back. I do think you will be ok just deleting the file though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1872 43 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Orrrrrrr the problem could be that START_IN_ADMIN file is actually from 1200 rather than the 1220 - if you find the 1220 it will have Rangers there for you to delete I'd assume?That makes sense but there is no 1220 folder I even tried just deleting the file in the 1200 folder but it didn't make a difference (not that it would now that I realise that isn't the patch folder) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to be bought over now Have you tried searching just "edt" its the folder, so if you search it and it shows up, then ding ding ding winner.And yeah, there will be an embargo later on, starting in September 2012, so better get signing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should really come with the update, so using steam, search for an update on FM12 and see how you go from there. That could be it. I hope so.

Any reason?Still in receivership so the board will be cutting costs and not letting you sign anyone unless they are taken over This administration thing messes a lot up unfortunately, because it would work perfectly if we could figure out how to overcome it on the Mac!

Also, thanks for warning me about the 2012 transfer embargo, I'd never have thought to buy ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I may as well include it, but it's one season later, so your div 2 team will be your div 1 team, so hopefully you have a good summer 2012 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryHurlock 21 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 For the people who's having the admin problem on mac, before you start a new game go to; preferences > extra files > and untick the start in admin box. That should remove us from admin and change the chairman status from looking to leave.EDIT: Also, if there's anybody looking for a striker I'd recommend Ahmed Soukouna. Scored 25 goals in 14 for me so far and he's been injured for a few months! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
