I’ve not played it so my opinion could be worthless but it seems like they’ve not really done much with their two years.

The regen faces are a joke.

I bet the AI still demands £150m for their players and offers you £1.50 for yours too.

Are the regens still the same mutant-looking freaks?

Not desperate to play this latest version as I'm still playing FM18 (contemplating to start FM19!).

However, having learnt lessons from a couple of earlier versions that there are a few bugs at demo and full release, I held off from buying until after the January transfer window database/build had been ironed out, improved and released.
Plus, it's gonna be a bit cheaper!

FM24 is the best version yet I reckon - plus you can carry over previous saves in that version too

I was lucky enough to grab the free download of FM24 from Epic, so I have that to look forward to

Tactics and matchday I love. It's just a little too buggy for me right now, so I've parked it. Looking forward to the proper release so I can start my unemployed-no badges-no rep save.

I'm happy to carry on my Lincoln United save in FM 24 for now (Patrick Viera's City boss in my save btw - only in 2030 too)

Gonna purchase it when get a new laptop. Hopefully tomorrow if I get time. I've been asking for these specific tactical changes for years.

UI looks okay on YouTube videos but it seems to be main reason fans hate it. I don't like change but always get used to new FM format after a short while. Hopefully the same case here

FM Youtubers have been under fire though for saying the game's brilliant etc when apparently it's blatantly not & they've gotta say it's good because they get free copies of it from Sports Interactive

Most of the vids I seen are negative about the UI , I just mean it looks ok to my eye. Homepage portal etc

Question is should I spend £1000 on a laptop that runs it smooth and future versions over next 5 years or go for a cheaper one that does the job still

It's tomorrow the actual release is out and to be fair the beta with the update from steam is now almost bug free

The reason people are whinging about the UI is it is different. The last god knows how many FMs were basically just the same game with tweaks and this is a brand new game. People just don't like change and the UI does make sense once you get used to it.

Cos I wanna make sure it runs rly smooth and I don't need to buy another one for a long time

When I say cheaper one does job I mean lower spec and slightly lower performance etc

I don't believe that's the case, but it's no bother to me. Once it's ready, I'll get stuck into a game and spend many wasted hours on it. I'm in no rush.

They've been updating it daily though so they if the latest update is the final one then there is no need

they will also do updates throughout the year, it's what they have always done

They said about update on Wednesday too. No idea if meaningful though

What spec machine are you running it in btw? Processor, ram and GPU integrated or specialist?

Thanks

This is getting tanked in the reviews so I'm going to skip it and hope that 27 has it all ironed out. The mobile version is free on Netflix though so I'll give that one a look

There's a demo version on Steam if you want to try it. Just be sure to go in with low expectations.

it's getting tanked by idiots who can't grasp the UI wich is really simple.

Don't listen to football fans and gamers online as most are fucking idiots

I downloaded the demo to try it again, but I'm still incredibly underwhelmed. I guess I was spoilt by some incredible skins in previous versions that gave me all the stats I could ever wish for. This will be the first time I haven't owned an FM/CM since CM Italia, so I do feel quite disappointed, but I'll keep my eyes on it and see if it improves, and maybe dip back into it later in the year.

Holidayed to October to start my unemployed save. 2 options were Dag & Red and Hemel Hempstead. The D&G one seemed a bit too easy to start. Big budget for the league and pre season favourites to be up there. Went with HH who are 5 points off safety.

The tactics and matchday are fantastic.

I'm sure there's a large element of that but I've read about too many silly little things that seemed to slip past testers to be too enthused.

I'll give the demo a pop though and see for myself, chances are as it's on a flash new engine my creaking machine will set ablaze when it tries to generate the fixture list anyway.

I would say try it yourself personally. It's a good game. I genuinely think the outrage is dumb as fuck

Certainly can't say it's unrealistic. After 15 games I was top of the league, having only lost 1 game (away to Wrexham). Now 22 games in and only other loss was away to Ipswich. Tried to replicate our formation and appears to be working so far

Before every City match I look at the same fixture in-game,or on the same date if the opposition aren't in the same league,to see what the score is - if the game gets the score spot on I put a bet on the next real-life City match
