    Just bought it anyway, when the beta hits I'll report back and fire pure cynicism into your faces.

    The design experts can put me right here, but surely anything where you have a fairly deep scroll bar and then masses of empty space beneath it is a bit of a failure.

    The former. Although Miles probably thinks it's the latter.

    Miles fascinates me. He is very much in the tradition of Brent and Partridge and Mainwaring.

    That looks to me like someone has captured it in the wrong resolution which is probably forcing those boxes askew. I doubt that tactics part of the page is supposed to scroll. Why would there be a thin black bar one one side and a large black one on the other?

    edit: Just watched the video, Yeah their shitty green screen solution hasn't given them a 16:9 screen so they've captured it in a weird resolution. Just film it in the office with a TV behind you lads.

    So, the preview videos ended yesterday... with a suspicious absence of a decent look at the ME. We saw a little bit of the graphical side on the Match Day video, but nothing in detail.

    So, either they are hiding the fact that nothing has changed in that respect, or going for the BIG SURPRISE improvement. I'm guessing the former.

    Quite possible.... if they are, they are leaving it bloody late!

    As a commentary only player, I don't really notice any issues with the ME, anyway.

    They’ve said the beta is out Friday or before, so Thursday evening I’d guess.
    I’m off work this week though so the sooner the better for me. I’ve been itching to play a new save but have put it off ready for the new game.

    I have some 2 year old quite sluggish MacBook, will this run smoothly on that? Will there be a big difference from FM17, because that just about made this laptop fucking explode, for no apparent real reason.

    I'm not even going to bother with this until I have new machinery. You need a really, really slick computer to do anything worthwhile with FM.

    Which is fucking shit, I mean it's a text-based game with "3D graphics" that looks about as advanced as a Super Nintendo might have rendered them.

    Yet I do agree, because last year around it was a bit of a painful experience to play as I was doing more waiting than playing, it felt like.

    You can turn most of the graphical shit off, after that it just relies on processing power which is to be expected.

    Does the match engine have any bearing on things at all? I always thought it was just some pre programmed highlights to give it more realism, but you never actually seen anyone playing well or not from it and were better off just Instant Resulting everything.

    I really don't think I can be arsed with a new FM. I think I'll just keep plugging away at my Newcastle save in FM15. I basically win everything all the time but I'm more just doing it to satisfying a very minor Football Manager itch. I don't know that I care enough to get annoyed with the flaws of a new one that they can't be arsed to fix all over again.

    Also why don't we just have one thread called 'Football Manager' rather than having unnecessary new ones for each new version?

    Other than more freds.

    Hard to tell (and SI are never going to confirm) because the simulation is different every time, although it would be mental to essentially double their work and have the engine work differently.

    It's good to have a new thread for each version as it's easier to find the epic saves etc.

    And doesn't need to go in Gamezine as no-one ever visits there.

    On the subject of not buying the new one, did one of my "who's managing who now?" reviews of my current save. It's 2037 and the best one currently is Ryan Gauld being the Barcelona manager.

    Yeah. If that happened people might get annoyed at first when individual games got their own threads but it could result in certain movies and tv shows getting their own threads, alongside the “general” ones.

    Yeah, I think that'd be fine. If a lot of people play something regularly, it'll stay near the top. If not, it'll just drop down/off the page like anything else.

    At least the place would look a bit more busy.

    The beta, it’s basiclly the full game but gets updated for the ‘full release’.

    Mines like a photo. Not sure who the photo is or why they're wearing gloves though.



    And to save me faffing to find it. Anyone found how to stop that shit song playing when you start it?
