Official release is out now, 500mbish update
Well the regen faces are finally fucking improved. Not amazing but better than the horror show of the last couple years.
I'm hesitant to update to the release version, I've got a good thing going early on and fear the slightest change will bring it all crashing down
The new patch (full game) has massively increased commentary only speed, which is awesome. Now for some nice skins, and we are done.
Default skin with instant result button is all you need.

I'm a twit
I'd normally have got this by now but the thoughts of setting up that dreaded first preseason (staff, training, etc) is putting me right off. Main reason why I normally only ever have one save per version.
It's €30 on CDKeys at the moment.
Just go for a big club and let the assistant do everything for you. Works for me.
The update ballsed up Vince so Ice Cube's now in charge
"So, would you have this down as one of your better days?"
The UI is absolutely horrendous in this version. There's so much info absolutely everywhere.
Won the League Cup with Liverpool.... Check out the celebrations
So far I'm doing surprisingly well in the first season with Arsenal. Welbeck is killing it, 17 goals from only 9 starts or something (a lot in the cups admittedly).
Playing this sort of X-mas tree 2-3-2-1-2 formation with Wing backs and an AMC, working pretty well.
Those graphics. It’s 2017 and that’s the best they can do?

Finished 2nd in the league in the end at fucking 93 points I think, 1 point behind United
It was a two-horse race between us for the last two months of the league, where United was constantly 1-3 points ahead, I annihilated them at home 6-0, but after that they just refused to drop any points.
From what I've been hearing and reading, this could be the final straw version. People really aren't impressed at all.
Second season's going well
Some top level (Arsenal) player suggestions? Like wonderkids etc.
I need a defender and someone to make up for Sanchez leaving. Mathias de Light looks the shit but Chelsea snatched him. And I'm hunting Maximiliano Romero, but doubting he'll get a WP.
Any other suggestions? Would prefer not having to pay over 30M or so.
Lautaro Martinez is a cracking young striker - will cost around $8-15m
Anyone else's Reserve and Youth team managers not arranging friendlies for them, even when set to do so?
If you still need a defender, Jose Gimenez from Atletico Madrid has been solid for me. Cost me over £50 mil though.
I paid 60m for some Vallejo lad from one of the Madrids.
Yeah De Ligt seems like something really special.
In the end I got John Stones, not sure about that but he was transfer listed and only 20.5M, so I figured he's English as well, can't be that terrible. Still have a season or two with Koscielny, and I also got Reece Oxford who looks like he could turn out pretty decent.
Anyone finding 18 an easy ride? Won Serie A with Inter at my first attempt. 90 points amassed and only two defeats all season. We weren't anything special.
dont you dare ruin this for me...!
Finished my first season with Liverpool.

Sturaro has been a must-buy on these early patches, he's been great for me at Stoke. As has Thomas Delaney from Werder, who are usually relegated. Just a shame Angel Correa isn't listed from the start any more.
This new shirt sponsor seems a tad large
When is Touch out? I can't be arsed loading up the main one again.
It's out. You get it free with the full game.
That's feasible, I think, @Mike. United's Adidas deal is 75m/year apparently.
I misread it as £300m a year
And sorry @Giggles I thought you meant on PC. I know the iphone version is out, but not sure about the ipad one. They're different right?
First deal of the summer is Sanchez in from Arsenal on a free. I'm meant to start my proper save tomorrow....might be tough to stop playing this one.
Just read there it's been delayed until this day week.
For those playing, how do I scout the world cup?
Am I just being thick? I used to just set up a new assignment on 17 and pick competition> World Cup.... where is that now?
Right, started my big journeyman save. Started jobless.
Might as well just give me the league title now.
Can't afford scouts or anything but John is in!
Diaby running my Oviedo midfield. Peak fm.
I really like the tactic I've created. And for once I just sort of did it all myself without looking too much at some cheat-tactic from FMBase or something, which is a lot more fun.
It's just really quite solid, I don't score a lot even though to me it seems very attacking, but it's one of those tactics where I can just adjust the mentality a bit depending on the opposition and it works with both Attacking and a Counter mentality without having to change anything else.
I have some other 4-3-3 tactics trained, but in the end I never use them anymore.
So far in the 2nd season I'm top of PL half way through, and breezed through my CL group which, after all, consisted of Real Madrid, AC Milan & Salzburg.
Of course, only to be drawn Barcelona in the Ro16
Lacazette is fucking killing it up top as well. Top scorer AND top assister
I always play it making my own tactics. I just enjoy it that way more. Normally building a tactic to fit my players.
