    I'm sure you've all discovered, but there is an alternative light and dark skin available in the preferences.

    Also, is it just me who would much prefer the pitch on the right, and the player list on the left. Vice-versa feels properly wrong.

    Alternate them. It’s not a problem with 50+ games a season.

    Unless one of them is a whingey tart.

    Exactly, Moreno is finally out the door so I needed a second left back.

    That new interface has to be the worst iteration yet. Still tempted to pick up Touch ‘19 though.

    Touch is always a good idea on the face of it but turns out to be a complete waste of time.

    Touch is the only version of FM I have time for now. I can get s couple of seasons done on Touch in a week. With Classic, it takes me a week to do the period through Christmas. Also, I can’t get away from the fact I know I’m playing a game so the whole gruelling rigmarole of player meetings and the media, match prep, training, etc, I cannot abide. I want to rock up at a club, gut it, rebuild it and win. Ideally without it taking over my life.

    FM desperately needs a challenger.

    Thought about having a go at the mobile version but feel like it'll just be $9 wasted after a week's worth of play at best

    I bought the FM16 mobile version and it was basically CM01/02 in terms of content but with none of the charm. The results also seemed to be completely random with little (if any) difference being made by team selection/tactics. I don’t know if they’ve improved on it, but they’d have to have invested a lot of time into it to make it worthwhile.

    That's how I always found Touch.

    @Spikey ironically that's what I assumed I'd be getting out of such a game, that old school feel just in my pocket, but also want to see tangible differences in my team if i'm spending any time on it.

    could simulate a FIFA career mode for absolute random results really

    I really liked the mobile version I bought a few years ago. Might get it this year. Is it out now?

    I really couldn't be arsed with the full game any more. I bought last year's when it was on sale a few months ago just to try it out and I just don't have the patience for it these days.

    Really? Bollocks. I was going to get that for the Nintendo Switch. Hopefully there’s a demo on it so I can test the waters.

    I think I'm now at the point where I will almost certainly never buy a new one again. I had my FM15 save going when I still had a functioning laptop as I'd be able to half-arsedly play FM while watching football or NFL or wrestling. Laptop died and to do that now I'd have to sit at the PC in which case I'd rather be doing something else.

    That and I just don't feel much of a point to it. You learn the wrinkles of the game, you get a tactic that works and replace players when you need to with similar ones. regens come through, you win everything eventually anyway, etc. I guess that's where they've expanded on the player interaction side of it but I basically despised where they were going with that so I suppose I'll always have a look at previews and that to see what's happening with the series but buy it? Nah.

    I'd probably play a half decent mobile management game. What was that one people were talking about on here (I think) a few years ago? I played that for a bit.

    The realistic picture with the bad 3d background and the awfully spaced text. Is that green and purple stuff a different font? Fucking monstrosity of design.

    Does anyone here still have their boxed copy of CM01/02 and if so could you either scan the cover in at as high res as possible or if you don't have a scanner, take as clear and high res picture as possible of it?

    I'm repeatedly amazed that such a successful game can be so poorly put together in places. I have no experience with design or typography but I still wouldn't let something like that into anything we made.

    Got to the end of the first transfer window (and subsequently the start of the season) last night and after completely mullering my squad by selling everyone I could, I managed to raise a whopping £113m. I arranged a MEGA £106m deal for Mauro Icardi to come in and show Firmino how it's done. Cancelled. Not enough funds. Window shuts. I'm doomed.

    I've no backup goalie, backup left or right back, backup half-back or backup attackers at all.

    Might re-train Lallana to be a striker. God knows about the rest. I suppose Hendo can fill in as a DM if necessary. Full-backs are shot though (Robertson and Trent remain, unless I shove Gomez out there) and Origi is just garb.

    Even if the deal hadn't fallen through you'd still have had no full backs or DM?

    I tried once back in like 12 or so when I still liked the game, it's a truly awful system so I almost understand how they fuck it up every year.

    If it’s anything to do with their editors (is it?) it’s always going to be a labour of love. I don’t know how people create those mega-league packs. It took me about half an hour for 14 year old Spikey to create myself and add me to the Southend team.

    Even then I wanted to leave by Christmas. Loyalty: 20 indeed.

    You just have that Leicester touch.

    I have found in the past the beta is easy mode, and once the game comes out it's substantially more difficult.

    Just told Unai Emery I'm not unduly worried by him pinpointing Firmino as a threat he can neutralise because I've got a lot of weapons in my arsenal.
