Football Manager 2012

Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:25 pm

I need a new challenge for the game. I can never seem to play as Cardiff so don't bother saying that. And I've tried playing as Darlington but that's almost impossible. Anyone got any decent playthoughs I could do to pass some time?

Only reason I am asking is because I've got Torquay to the Championship and I cant seem to get any higher :ayatollah:

I've got the database editor but I've only used it to change a few things such as names etc. I don't like cheating, I'm a good boy :D

If you're brave enough you could always give the pentagon challenge a go. You start off unemployed with Sunday leauge reputation and have to win the 5 champion leagues.

Just give yourself more money and incomes sponsors ect and put your rep up abit better players will come then ive taken counfrence south/north clubs to the prem that way. when i played cardiff normal without cheating it seems im always in debt even when i have no money to spend come the new season around beofre a balls kicked im in the red again and trying to offload players on high wages seems to be hard + the board wont let me free them due to no funds, same old city :lol:

I'm in 2030 with Plymouth dominating the world won 6 CLs :D

How about add Lewis, Mutch, Bellamy, Velikonja and Helguson to the Cardiff team, get rid of those that have left as well and play as them, unfortunately I couldn't find Kim in the game database though :(

I'm in 2022 with Cardiff.

Won 2 champions leagues, the last four premier leagues, League cups and last 3 FA Cups.

My chairman is useless though. We're the 4th biggest club in the world and we have the 8th highest income in the Premier League.

Nice one I got a Cardiff game I play now and again but only in the third season got some great players that were listed though, don't really play it any more now would prefer to start again with an updated Cardiff squad.

Yeah I get what you mean. I tried playing as Burnley in the championship for a change but I was doing amazingly well and top of the table by January so they gave me 4 million to get them the title and now I'm 5th. That save hasn't been touched for awhile now :lol:

Can I ask what position Swansea are in on your games? I'm in March 2015 with Torquay and they are 23rd in the Championship looking at relegation :shock: :lol:

Mine are in League 2, Brendan Rodgers manages Scottish division two sides.


I tried to turn them into Cardiff's feeder club but they turned us down :lol:

I always like to add manager then release all the jack players or sell them for nothing over the summer before the season starts making them millions in the red and they get relegated anyway :oops:

I took over them once and signed mcPhail from cardiff for £10 million and released any staff and players I could.


First match of the season McPhail in Goals and Vorm up front.


Somehow finished the first half 1-0 to Swansea o.o
