Cheapest place to get this and still get beta access (I don't want much...)? I guess the days of picking this up brand new for £17 are gone.
Gaming Football Manager 2016
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
When is the beta being released? Is it friday, as thats 2 weeks until release the date?
Wow. The highlight videos look just as bad as every year and that's the best they could find for a trailer? You can see the teams are still defending with less cohesion than your average Premier League team..
I pre ordered mine from cdkeys for 22.99 but I don't think it includes the beta.
My god that still looks awful. 2D for me again this year.
Agreed. They're not even trying to sell it this year are they?
We're all wrong mate, Miles knows best.
Wish i was 15/16 again so i could spend my time playing this. Nowadays im lucky if i get 1 hour of gaming every 2 days and thats always spent playing playstation.
I'd love it if this happens. Monopolies are no good for consumers anyway. I remember the days of USM, Premier Manager, Player Manager duking it out together with CM. Hell, we've only got 2 major football games nowadays whereas I grew up playing various football games like Actua Soccer, World Wide Soccer etc.
I loved Player Manager. Player Manager 99 I think it was where I had a fecking amazing team.

Anyone know if you can do it like last year. I pre-ordered off amazon, got the code sent and did't get charged. This still possible?

Smalling should have the same or more potential than Jones.
Jones earns more than Smalling!
Our midfield is so amazing 
Martial looks underrated.
Apparently Griezmann has a release clause of 77 million? Feck that. No idea who to sign as that's way too much. Will probably leave the squad as is and see how I do with Rooney and everyone else, who needs changing.
Also Arsenal and Chelsea have had bids accepted for Stones for 40m rising to 60m... Feck that. I'll stick with Jones/Smalling/Rojo/Blind

Is the beta worth me qutting my FM15 save? What are people's first reactions on tactics etc?
I have it but wont be playing it until the weekend

Just had a quick browse on the SI forums. Not many people moaning tbh which is a suprise.
Its pretty good so far, only complaint really being that I don't like how they made the tactics screen. Instructions are nice, but the main tactics page where you pick your team. Looks way too cluttered and the shirt icons on the little pitch there are too big and bulky.
Other then that, its good so far. Arsenal and Chelsea had a transfer battle and were going over £50m to get stones which could show that the AI isn't afraid to spend big on quality players, same with real Madrid bidding for reus. Maybe they fixed the squad building from the AI? Too soon to say though.
I really hope they have. Its gets too easy after a bit. Once you sign the right players you can dominate for decades in every competition because the AI teams have weaker squads.
I also hope I can select my team using the right click button of my mouse. They got rid of that last year.
I might load it up tonight just to test tactics and stuff. I prefer to play when the full game comes out and all the facepacks and graphics are out too.
I think its a lot like FM15 actually apart from the UI changes. I can't really see anything drastically different overall. I've seen a lot of injuries in pre-season which is a little worrying.
The new Pro Zone stats are good, seems a lot more detailed. The UI for it again isn't brilliant but the information is very good. Average positions for with the ball and without as well as passes received from are really promising for tactic messing. One thing I can't find is a completed percentage. Having to work it out yourself with this much information just seems like an oversight.
Still struggling to get AM L/R's to track back though in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. I'm having to go to a 4-4-1-1 to get them to come back when we don't have the ball.

They're defending the ugly-ass tactics screen to the hilt:
I've played half of a season so far, the game looks and plays pretty smooth. There are a lot of great youngsters at United this year.
This is Pereira after 6 months and a Mata tutoring:
Vanja Savic, Fosu_Mensah and Gribbin also have very high potential, i'm trying to train them too. There is no Angel Gomes in the game, tho.

How has Shaw only got 11 crossing.
Shaw and Martial look to have poor potential which is odd
I read on the forums that they base everything off last season and don't take this seasons into account when adjudging them even though 10 league games have been played and potentially another 5+ more in other competitions.
Seriously? Losing faith in Football Manager now
Hopefully at least Martials will ve fixed by rge time of the full game is released. Doubt they touch Shaw as he is injured but hopefully he gets fixed.
Because he isn't a very good crosser.
My main issue is how immensely underrated Smalling is. How the hell is his acceleration/pace only 13/14? fecking Jones is quicker.
Meh, don't believe those screenshots from the number of stars in potential given by the assistant. Compare it to yourself taking over some club, which has an assistant who tells you what he thinks of the players. It's not necessarily true, especially potential is impossible to predict. Take those stars with a pinch of salt, Martial's potential is probably -9 which will make him an absolute beast worldclass striker in some saves and more average in other save.
Downloading the game atm, can't wait!
....but which team? I'm clueless.

What's Falcao like? I need to know.
I started one with Hoffenheim. First match against Bayern down 5-0 in the first half.
Started with Man Utd in Lamela 22m and Mario 12.5m (Villarreal) and sold (3rd fm in a row these 2 have been 1st out the door) young (southampton 7m) and Valencia 15.5 m(he had a choice between psg and Monaco and picked Monaco)
Trying to play the way LVG wants us to play,
Structured, control, high line, slower tempo, farirly wide, shorter passing, play out defence, retain possession, more discipline, dribble less, stick to position. Prevent short goal kicks and tight marking
Starting 11
Ddg
Darmian smalling Blind Shaw
Morgan
Cml BFS
Lamela Herrera Memphis
Martial
Just beat Bristol City in a friendly 4-0 Lamela x2 & Martial in the 1st half and Wilson in the 2nd after 11 changes at H/T
