      Yeah, I’m getting the same message. I hope it’s just a glitch and that they will sort it out soon.

        I hope so. I’ve only got Geography homework so I can play on it for ages this evening/tonight. Who will you manage in the demo? I think I’ll start with Liverpool :)

      Here’s what Miles said 39 minutes ago: «Will take an hour to propagate globally». So I guess we have to wait… and hit F5 :)

        Oh, OK, cheers for that. I’ll be back soon so ;)

    Fantastic news! Got footy training tonight but I’ll be playing it when I get back :)

    20% and increasing!

  5. Sears

    6 октября, 2011 at 18:16

    have you been able to download it yet Johnny? Saw in the forums that someone from Romania downloaded it so I don’t understand why I still can’t download the demo …

    • Johnny Karp

      6 октября, 2011 at 18:19

      I am currently downloading it, around 60% left… Have you tried starting Steam on your computer and looking it up there? That’s how I did.

      • Sears

        6 октября, 2011 at 19:10

        Aye cheers. Currently downloading as we speak :)

    39% and we’re almost halfway there. :) Newcastle are going to get a complete revamp soon…bye bye R. Taylor, Guthrie, Ameobi, Best etc etc!!

      I bet Mike Ashley’s playing right now but he’ll be selling Krul, Cabaye, Colocinni, and S. Taylor! :D

      • Darren Smith

        7 октября, 2011 at 18:18

        lol, sounds about right…although I don’t know why he’d waste his time as FM 2012 doesn’t feature a casino ;)

    And I’m in, but what team? Think I’ll take a danish team since wales isn’t available.

    Downloading the demo in Steam ^^

  9. Why?

    6 октября, 2011 at 19:19

    may I ask how much GB is the demo?

    • Johnny Karp

      6 октября, 2011 at 19:44

      Around 1 GB.

      • Why?

        6 октября, 2011 at 19:49

        That’s weird because the file I’m downloading is about 2,5GB. Am I doing something wrong?

        • Johnny Karp

          6 октября, 2011 at 19:53

          Actually 1 GB was the file size that was mentioned on the official website. I have checked the size of what I downloaded in my computer and it’s around 2.5 GB. So it’s perfectly fine, don’t worry.

          • Why?

            6 октября, 2011 at 19:58

            Thanks a lot! I can’t wait! 1 hour and 30 minutes more and I will finally check out the newest version of the world’s best game!

    at work so can’t play until I get home :( Last day of my shift though so will be able to play lots once I am home!

    Already thinking about who I will be! I think I will use the demo to test out the new features. I am particularly looking forward to seeing how many players I can annoy with the team meeting function!

    I think I have to wait for the game, 2.5 gb is too much.

    6 октября, 2011 at 20:30

    Took a while but finally managed to clear out enough disk space to download, now just 4 hours and 30 mins to go :D

    • Johnny Karp

      6 октября, 2011 at 20:47

      That’s a pretty slow connection you have there, I downloaded mine in less than 15 minutes.

      • Rob

        6 октября, 2011 at 21:06

        i think its my laptop not the connection, pretty old now and crashes a lot.

      • Sears

        6 октября, 2011 at 22:26

        Aye, but doesn’t Romania have one of the fastest internet downloads in the world?

        • Johnny Karp

          7 октября, 2011 at 07:22

          We do? I know that we have pretty fast internet in the city but I don’t know if the whole country qualifies.

    Greedings everyone!

    I am also looking forward to get my hands on the new game! A demo will give us a good taste of what the game looks like. I had to wait a lot to download the demo (my connection is quite pathetic…) but now I am 45 minutes away from getting it. I just hope that it is better than the last version, although I have to admit that for the past two years the game never stops to impress me!

    Yes, this should be fun, time to go for Birmingham again, wonder if the chairman status would be «arrested for money laundering» LOL

    Is there a Vanilla version like last year?

    • Johnny Karp

      7 октября, 2011 at 07:20

      No, I think they’ve gone straight to the gold version.

      • vaibhavc

        7 октября, 2011 at 12:35

        It doesn’t matter, I decided to download the gold version. What camera do you use?

        • Johnny Karp

          7 октября, 2011 at 15:59

          The director cam looks interesting but I guess I’ll stick to the TV cam.

    Brillliant lol…i’ve just seen this post lol…I cant believe the Russian League isnt on the Demo…Norway and Chile classed a ‘World’s Best’ pfffft! I was hoping to bring the site a little Anzhi Team Guide but i’ll just have to wait :(

    This could take a while :( Sky have given us the worst download speed I’ve ever seen! I’m currently downloading at 105.6 KB/s WTF!!! A joke considering my parents are paying £85 a month for this crap!

    • Johnny Karp

      7 октября, 2011 at 16:00

      85 quid a month? Only for the internet or is the cable TV included?

      • Dan

        7 октября, 2011 at 16:33

        TV as well but the internet is a joke, it’s been downloading since 13:19 and is only 60% through…

    Hows everyone finding the demo?

    I started as my home town team (Scunthorpe United) and I am cruising League One in November and not lost a league game yet. Playing a 4-1-3-2 formation and it is working well 16 games played 16 wins 49 goals scored 8 Conceded. Only bought 2 players and brought some loans in. Players to look out for imo are Tom Naylor (D/M C from Mansfield town), Will Keane (ST from Manchester United) and Oliver Norwood (M C from Manchester United)

      I’ve just started playing it and I have to say that is generates a nice feeling, looks a bit better than FM 11.

      • Neily_b

        7 октября, 2011 at 17:59

        The new 3D match engine is awesome and the director cam is very good. The new selection interface is good as well.

    my computer is only good enough to watch in 2D

    8 октября, 2011 at 04:21

    It looks far sleeker then in the previous version but I don’t like the new tactics screen, I’m sure I’ll get used to it, but at first glance it just seems a little unclear and messy :)

    Do you know if the game is playable on netbooks or do we have to wait for a skin to come out?

    • Johnny Karp

      8 октября, 2011 at 20:05

      I don’t know for sure but I think you can play it even with a small display because of the new interface. Then again, you can always connect the netbook to an external monitor.

        Any chance you can download the demo without steam? i cant get it at uni??
