Are you an otter?

7th with 11 games remaining.
Currently on a 4 game winning streak thanks to a change of tactics and the capture of Ched Evans and Darren Carter on loan. A 3-0 away win to Scunny the pick of the bunch.
We're 10 pts off 2nd, a point from 6th and a couple from 3rd.
Fingers crossed it continues and we can secure a place in the play-offs. Between 3rd and 11th, there's about a 5 pt range.
I changed the resolution on mine to stop it crashing, it means that the smooth style isn't there anymore but it's now running quicker. I think it's an improvement on 2008. The use of tactics becoming increasingly paramount as well as training/coaches.

My FM runs quite smoothly apart from when I start a match, watch it in 2D and it takes 10 seconds or so to play as it says: "now loading" or something to that effect, does that happen to everyone else?

Mine takes 5-10 secs to load when I'm in a match and I go on to the 3d mode.

Ok thanks.
I enjoyed the pre and post match press conferences but now its irritating. I did let Baldini (my previous assistant manager) talk to the Press, but my players were always unsettled so I sacked him and brought in Pat Rice.

Currently unbeaten after 6 games in charge at Part timers Blyth Spartans. £0 money to spend and even the shittest of free agents wont come.
I have resorted to promoting the young lads and signing shit players with hight work rate and determination, so far the team spirit is immense and we are 1 point clear at the top after a dream start.
Fitness is proving the main worry at this point, along with the wafer thin squad.
A few of my starters have less than 4 for passing and other main areas. I have a 6'7 lad up front so im getting my full backs to launch longs balls all day long for him to knock down to my nippy (8 pace
) strike partner. Only problem is my unbeatable 6'7 striker has attracted the attention of Cambridge who have been to watch him on some of his finest performances.
Onwards and upwards for the Spartans, relegation fight by Christmas no doubt

Nope, there is ac tually a bug in the Serie C cup which means you cannot load those leagues and have a faultless game.
****ers, I would not have paid for it if Id known.
