Title: Football Manager 2014 for -75%
Post by: JudgeDredd on April 17, 2014, 02:23:00 PM
I have a coupon I can trade on Steam for Football Manager 2014.

I already have the game so I'm willing to give this away. I don't need anything to be traded for it...if you want it, lets work out the trade - I've never used that before.

Hi Judge,

I'd be in your debt if this is still available?

Let me know if I can provide you something in return.

Hi Strela

I need you to contact me on Steam so I can trade it. I've never traded anything - so the experience could be hit and miss.

I believe I have one as well.  Same name on Steam, add as a friend and I can send the coupon on its way.

I have an FM2014 coupon on Steam too.

Pretty sure it's only good until the second week of May or thereabouts.

I might be interested in a coupon if anyone still has one going. Have some credit from selling those trading card things so could be a nice cheap way of trying this out. I use the same username on steam.

Is the game easy to get into? I'm not a huge football fan as such, but I've always been interested in management/replay kind of games.

I'll friend you and send/trade you the coupon.

The game can be a bit overwhelming at first but there are a ton of website dedicated to this game so advice and information is available.

Your user name isn't showing up on Steam.  I'll try again after work unless someone sends you one first.

Thanks, I think my profile was private. Have changed it so try again and see if its showing.

It takes a little learning if you're not familiar with it but I found the interface to be wonderful and the tooltips to be explanatory enough so that I didn't have to look up a lot.  You may want to learn a bit about the strategy, namely setting up your three formations, but there is plenty of room for experimentation once you are familiar with which player stats are good for which position & role.  The latter is much easier because you can select Position & Role in a few different places to highlight the key stats on each player when setting it up. 

Again, the UI is terrific and helped me greatly in learning the game.

Cheers, sounds like it might be worth a go if I get it with the discount and Steam credit. Not sure my wife will believe I am playing a football game, but then she has finally accepted the sight of me sitting at a table pushing hundreds of bits of cardboard around on my own. Perhaps a couple of weeks of sarcastic comments before the grudging accpetance.  :)

The coupon has been sent.  It's a great game.  Post your impressions when you get a chance.  Have fun.

Can you please tell me how to do this. I've never done it and the option isn't jumping out at me. The only thing I can see is the "Invite to Trade" when I try to send Strela a message. I presume it's because he's not online that the option is disabled.

So - what is the other way? If there is one

Thanks

Much appreciated, thanks. I'll definitely post something once I've had a chance to play it.

Here is info on how to trade...pretty sure both parties have to be online at same time.

I received mine as a trade invite, I don't think I was online when the invite was sent. Sorry I'm not sure how it is setup, but receiving it seemed pretty straightforward.

There are profile settings for privacy, the one related to your inventory can affect your ability to receive trade invites. It's possible that the user you are trying to invite needs to change this.

Click on your account name,
On the right you should see "Trade Offers".  Select that,
That should pull up the Trade Offers screen.  From there, select "New Trade Offer",
Your friends list should pop up.  Select who you want to trade with,
That will bring up your Tradable Inventory.  Double click the coupon and then select "Make Trade",
If it asks you if this is a gift select yes. 

That should do it.

OK looks like they gave me a 75% off voucher as soon as I bought the game, so if I can pass on the favour to anyone else let me know.
