Football Manager 2017

[Macern]

Set to be released in Q4 2016, obviously.

Otherwise no news of the game. Though it can be expected that the game will feature better and more developed mobile versions with fewer flaws and gameplay closer to the full FM17. Or so I think.

The 3D engine will also be better and hopefully stuff like press conferences and team/player talks will be polished and more extensive.

I really hope they will improve the game engine a lot as there are way too many goals scored from far post crosses, or not to mention how everything besides a standard 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation with a boring and simple tactic will not work at all. Or it might be just me, I don't know.

 

[VorZakone]

They better fix the 3D engine, the animations still look underwhelming to me.

 

[Berbaclass]

No true FM fan cares about the 3D engine do they?

I still watch it in 2D

I wouldn't use 3D even if it was good. 2D is far superior!

 

[Earthquake]

Pace is going to be so OP this year after Leicester....

 

[Woodzy]

Don't think I've used 3D since it was introduced. 2D all the way.

Hehe

I only use commentary only

I'm gonna run an FM Experiment for FM17 by the way, much like the one I ran a few years ago (you know, the one with an actual ending..)

Count me in for this.

Never done one of these, count me in!

Thanks guys, but I'm not doing any signups until the game is out and the current experiment is done. Some respect for the current, great experiment

Pre orders open, 5% discount on Steam for each of 13, 14, 15 and 16 if you've bought them on there, which is nice.

Will there still be a discount after it's out?

 

[Berbaclass]

£28 from Steam isn't that bad TBF. It' usually much more IIRC

 

[do.ob]

Just as every year I'll buy it and then complain because they only did minimal innovations.

 

[Earthquake]

They haven't said.

 

[Member 5225]

Out 4th Nov

 

[Solius]

How've they released no info about it yet?

 

[Earthquake]

Absolutely nothing.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Don't worry lads, you'll still be able to sell Rooney by July 20th.

 

[Solius]

Absolutely nothing.

Yet it's available for pre-order. Bit cheeky.

I mean I'll get it regardless, but still!

Tad cheeky, but it's FM, most everyone interested knows that they're either going to get it instantly, or wait for a 50%+ off sale.

The thing is they always add pointless features, such as the create a manager animation thing, yet the journos questions have pretty much been the same repetitive shite we've been served for 5 years or more.

Plus i would like to see more added to the 2D engine, nothing massive but for example a cup final always has the exact same look as a league game, perhaps they could tart the outsides up a bit? It isn't a big deal it would just be nice to see Miles 'I'm always right and you can stick your opinions' Jacobson and his team not phone it in for a change.

 

[NoLogo]

Gonna wait and see for this iteration. Somehow I feel the only thing they have really left to do is improve the transfer AI, so teams aren't left with shitty squads after 4-5 years while yours is packed with world class players. That's always the time I lose interest in the game when I manage to win my third CL in a row and end up beating whoever is in the final by 5 goals because the difference in squad quality is so big that even Barca or Real don't stand a chance against my team.

The cup finals and the like need a lot more fanfare and occasion, to be honest. As it is, playing and/or winning the CL is the same as a league match, just with 5 extra messages and a few more media questions.

This, me too!

 

[Lastwolf]

I use the 3d engine just cause I can tell when it's gonna be a goal most of the time. So I can control my desire to rage quit, then still be annoyed when I am eventually right.

"You're only 1-0 down to West brom, at home, on a 5 game win streak, it's not even half time yet ... it'll be fine.... feck!"

November 4th is the date. 5% discount on steam for every previous FM you own until October 14th. (Up to 20%)

No features revealed yet, but last year they used twitter to leak smaller features regularly in the 4-6 weeks before launch.

Really enjoyed last years one. Didn't buy the year before though. Think i will purchase this one just to start again from my old save as i knew all the best players to buy, formations etc.

FFS I can't buy it over steam, just because stupid EA still has the exclusive UEFA football manager license in Germany despite not producing one.

Think I will do an Inter Milan save, thinking 3-4-3
Handanovic
Murillo Medal Miranda
Candrava Banega Kondogbia Perisic
Barbosa Icardi Mario

I thought Mario was more of a playmaker?

 

[paulscholes18]

Fair point, swap Perisic and Mario around, and I will risk playing Mario as a wide playmaker and see how that works out
