Downloaded the demo. Seems a lot like the last game although it processes days a bit quicker. Might just be because its a demo or maybe they've listened to frustrations from fans in regards to long waiting times. There's a few extra features but nothing special. Is it worth spending the £30+ for if you've already got last seasons FM? I'd say no.

Finished 3rd in my first season back in the SPFL and came 3rd which meant Europa League.

So played 3 qualifying rounds, 1 playoff round then got to the groups against Arsenal, Genk and Bursaspor.

With 1 game left to play i broke the all time most goals scored by Inter Milan by scoring 38 :lol:

Came 2nd in the group aswell.

Half way through my first season with Rangers, and if I'm honest it's been a struggle.

Played 20 league games so far, won 13 - drew 6 - lost 1. So that gives me 45 points out of 60.

Knocked out every cup competition (lost 2-0 to Hearts in 2nd round of League Cup, lost 1-0 to Falkirk in 2nd round of Challenge Cup and lost 4-0 to Ross County in 4th round of Scottish Cup. :anguish: )

The defeats to Hearts and Falkirk were probably down to being unable to play our new signings and having to rely on Alan Smith in goal right enough, but if Formartine managed to win the Challenge Cup then questions must be asked. :lol:

So far in January I've brought in Craig Sibbald from Falkirk (£140k), Tom Hateley on a free and Leroy Lita on loan from Swansea. Considering bringing in Ryan Donnelly from Brechin (2nd top league goalscorer) for around 5k because quite simply I need more goalscorers in the team. Also, I'm close to bringing in Jordan McGhee from Hearts for around 750k, 17 year old defender and has been in great form for them.

I've released Andy Mitchell, Kyle Hutton, Steve Simonsen, Emilson Cribari and Ricky Foster because their wages were too high and quite simply they weren't good enough.

Starting to plan for next season and it looks like Perry, Shiels, Hegarty, Crawford and McAusland will be the players who will definitely be getting released / sold.

I'm bringing in Fouad Bachirou on a pre-contract from Morton and Barry Ferguson is returning on a pre-contract from Blackpool. Also looking to bolster my attacking options for next season.

I have just noticed i am playing the Beta version still even though ive installed the full game.

What have i done wrong?

You should have another CD key from wherever you ordered it.

Just activate the game in steam then the full game will install.

At the end of March in my first season and if I beat East Fife in the next game that'll be the league wrapped up. Would have liked to have won it with a bit more style and a bit earlier but I can't complain too much.

Continued my planning for next season and so far have Barry Ferguson, Kirk Broadfoot, Neil Alexander, Fouad Bachirou and Robert Vittek coming in on pre-contracts.

Also signing Lawrence Shankland from the sheep for £275k and he will join in the summer.

Pretty happy with how the squad is looking for next season but still hoping to bring in a winger and 2 strikers.

Also going to see if I can bring in any promising regens but with the scouting restricted to UK and Ireland it'll make it a bit more difficult.

I thought i was bad bringing Fleck and McCabe back :P

I actually considered bringing Fleck back but just couldn't do it. :lol:

I'm not a fan of bringing back ex-players really but Ferguson has the second highest average rating in the Championship and because Rangers are in his favourite clubs it was pretty easy for him to agree a deal. Broadfoot has also been doing well in the Championship and my defence needs strengthening and Alexander is only for cheap, reliable back-up.

Started one with Spurs. In December, sitting 4th, into the knockout phases of the Europa League but put out of the Capital Cup. Signed Coentrao and Benteke. You would think with the amount of attacking players I've got that the goals would be flowing but it's the complete opposite, the amount of 1-0's I've had is ridiculous.
