Yeah. I usually always just play until January as by that time the code sites usually have the game at around £15-20 and decent updates have been added to it.Always find it weird that they expect people to pre-order without releasing what the changes / updates are. 10% off isn't enough to convince me to blindly purchase something while withholding the information that I need.
I haven’t invested in one since FM12. Got too complex and focused on tactics.I've decided that this will be the first FM I buy since FM12.
I got the FM19 mobile game for free (which is a very simplified version of the FM experience) and I got the bug back through that.I haven’t invested in one since FM12. Got too complex and focused on tactics.
What’s made you break the duct?
the worst for me is always "that was wonderful from XX, it deserved a goal at the end of it" after they blast the ball miles wide after hitting it from way outside the box. I swear it happened around 50 fecking times a game, and always to my team.They definitely need to fix the match engine. Basically all goals in FM19 come from crosses.
You can also tell when there's going to be a goal just by the highlight.the worst for me is always "that was wonderful from XX, it deserved a goal at the end of it" after they blast the ball miles wide after hitting it from way outside the box.

also i love how whenever they add some pointless new shitty little gameplay element they milk it for all it's worth, like goal line tech and seemingly every single game having to have at least one disallowed goal where they can show it.
yeah or when the opposition will score, which is usually after a really, really long clip of your team with the ball of ages and then they steal it off your player, lob it down the pitch and some useless cnut smashe a worldie past your amazing GK.You can also tell when there's going to be a goal just by the highlight.
Player going a mazy run? He will shoot high and wide at the end of it.
Player through on goal with an easy pass across for a tap-in? He will shoot near post and the shot will be saved.
RB has the ball quite deep but is crossing? Left winger will thump it in at the back post.
The amount of times it cuts and zooms in to show you that the goal that wasn't given didn't go in is ridiculous. I never once saw a goal that had crossed the line not given, I mean that's what hawkeye is for. Why bother dragging the match out further to confirm what you know is confirmed because the goal wasn't given.the worst for me is always "that was wonderful from XX, it deserved a goal at the end of it" after they blast the ball miles wide after hitting it from way outside the box.

Yeah, I typically don't ever pay full price for games any more and I never pre-order anything. I haven't bought since FM16, but I'm interested in updating and found it really annoying that the game is up for pre-order, but they haven't released the updates/changes yet. I could troll through past year's updates, but I can't be bothered really. I'll just wait until this version hits a sale on steam then check it out I suppose.Yeah.

FM 19 is a good version of the game too so I’m not desperate for this release.
I always find this annoying too. For the most part you can use the older packs you've downloaded previously. I usually play as some scrub manager is a scrub league so things like the face packs don't matter as much to me but I find it almost unbearable to play without the club crests and competition logos. Sounds dumb, but makes a huge difference in my immersion and enjoyment.I used to love playing FM years ago, but I can't be bothered anymore to constantly look for new patches or updates, finding all the mods for team kits, logos, names, having player pics and everything else possible.
It used to be such a drag to put all of this together and make the game playable, I'd rather they bring back Fifa Manager as at least it had the licenses sorted out and thus you could play it more casually.
It will probably completely feck up the fixture list in real life as well!Just remembered one thing that they need to fix. The 2022/2023 season. The World Cup completely fecks the fixture list and you have games every 2 days.
It's safer to just not, I think.Remove player interactions and I'll get this years. Going through the motions with the weirdos gets tedious.
Probably, but in some saves it messes it up so badly that it rolls over to other seasons.It will probably completely feck up the fixture list in real life as well!
Yep hate that usually. I swear I set it to an AI staff to do but then he usually only renews like two of them and the rest he’s happy to let go so I end up still having to do all the staff contracts.Never found a way to do this so assuming it's not in, but contract extensions for staff (not players), they really need a way to skip all of that, have it done by the DoF or whatever else so I dont have to go 1 by 1 and offer them all whatever to keep them.
Yeah it adds nothing to the game and needs either fixed or replaced. Talking to your own players is like a scene from The Exorcist most of the time.It's safer to just not, I think.
"Well done on winning Player of the Month, I think you've done really well"
"I disagree, I don't think I've played that well at all."
"Oh, OK, sorry"
"No, it's too late now, you've broken my heart. If you don't transfer me I'm chaining myself to the goalposts and going on hunger strike"
Buy FM 2021 when he's at Madrid.Last time I played I won the treble and then Pogba asked to leave. I denied it because we'd just won the treble so feck him. This made every single player annoyed, so I closed my laptop and never opened FM again.
Hopefully they've fixed Pogba being a dick.
Been the same for a few versions I believe? Set instructions to “hit early crosses” and that’s the only way you’ll score.They definitely need to fix the match engine. Basically all goals in FM19 come from crosses.
Everything I've seen from them says they'll not be bringing that back ever. Would need new leadership at the company for that to happen.Formations for when you're in possession and for when you're defending, please
How did you get it for free? I am in a similar position, found tactics overwhelming and stopped at FM 2015I got the FM19 mobile game for free (which is a very simplified version of the FM experience) and I got the bug back through that.
Also I'm on the train to London for work a lot more so this will be a great way to pass those hours.
I mean technically it wasn't free - I got a free £5 voucher for PlayStore with my mobile network (3 Mobile) - and at that time FM2019 was down to £5, and as I never buy anything on the PlayStore, I figured i might as well use it on that.How did you get it for free?

Doesn't that kind of ruin it? You're using another mans tactics while signing players you know for a fact are the best for your team. You're almost guaranteed to absolutely dominate, which is kinda boring imo.What has been the best one in recent years? I'm still playing 2015, own them all from 09-19 on Steam and there are some I haven't touched yet.
Played 09, 10, 14 and 15.
I kind of cheat anyway, in that I look on forums for what are generally perceived to be the best tactics and download them rather then create my own. Then I use genie scout to find players, I'm a big fan of role rating rather than CA/PA on there. So I guess I'm looking for best interface/no bugs, glitches or anything that breaks the game with stupid things happening rather than the best challenge etc.
