    Are they any significant changes? I'm quite content with '20.

    All the updates seem predominately interactions based - which is the one part of the game that I don't even get involved with. Don't think I've seen one actually interesting feature update.
    I'll still buy it. #SIFanBoy

    Having done some research it would seem SI have altered the match engine greatly.

    Spent the evening updating all the graphics packs. Kits being the most time consuming. No sign of Italian kits, are they just in by default.

    Also, what's the best way to fix Juventus and still have leader boards. Or isn't there one. I always thought it was delete the files instructed by name fix patches, but not copy their files over. Didn't seem to work on FM20.

    Should do. Apparently they’ve changed regen faces again so hopefully they’re better.

    Has anyone ever made an RPG where you're a hard-pressed manager trying to keep the original lineup of Genesis together? I'd play that.

    I was going to do Oxford City but I figured I'd just start with Wrexham instead. Unsure whether to use Touch or the full version now I have a computer that might just handle it.

    I'm told the ME is much, much improved this year. You can actually play pretty football through the middle rather than OP full backs.

    If this is true it might actually tempt me to get it.

    I have been watching a streamer playing this and the ME certainly does look better. A couple of goals that certainly looked like new animations. The urge to buy is rising.....as usual.

    It was bad enough last time I did (probably 5 or 6 years ago) that I won't bother until it's had atleast the first patch.

    They can be a bit dodgy. Couple of year's ago half your team would get injured every game. I've played about 10 games so far, haven't noticed anything that bad.

    The worst thing is the UI, it's still heavily purple and ugly. And, for a game that is based on numbers - they keep trying to turn everything into shitty icons and bright colours.



    What's was wrong with Condition: 80% and Match Sharpness 70%?

    I am a Touch peasant but assume there will be barely any improvements on that front.

    I'm assuming this will still have a 2D pitch option?

    I'm still on '19, but I'm considering taking the plunge. I normally wait for a price drop, but when I consider how many hours I end up putting into it, it seems pretty tight to be waiting six months to save a fiver.

    Yeah just went looking for any announcement about why I should buy the new one and found a thread on the SI forums complaining about the lack of promised announcement and them pushing release back to December with lack of beta.

    The ME is superb. Already broken the game engine, its on FMBase as 2332sirjur if you wanna try it.

    Central play is now very viable and AMCs are amazing. Press conferences look great but its the same inane fluff really. Best, most conplete FM in ages though, a lot of QoL improvements.

    Nuno Mendes is fucking shit hot.

    The removal of percentages is fantastic once you get used to it. No longer obsessing over 90% and above/below.

    Makes it a bit more realistic in that you wouldn't be an irl manager, point at Rashford and go "he's 92% fit mate"

    Though that's a fair point, you could make the same argument for players attributes - we shouldn't really see those .

    I'm just hard for numbers. Hopefully some new skins will make it look a little nicer.

    Is it that good if you've already 'broken' it?

    It doesn't play nice in 4K zoomed which is my res. Some panels don't display properly.

    Hoardings flash a bit too much in 2D.

    Some text issues - coaches etc now need work permits, and when they get when it says 'player' when they receive it.

    There's too much white on the skin.

    This is a fucking mess and useless:

    Their skins have been honking for about 15 years. It really needs to be light blue or something but that's probably too clinical for dear old Miles.

    Is the beta the full game or 6 month demo bollocks? Is CdKeys still the cheapest place to get it?

    See what seems OP and then exploit it. In this version its central play and AMCs, especially a shadow striker coupled with some DLFs. Its basically first 2/3 months of season pissing about and then see what clicks.

    The Wannachup Instant Result skin has been released.

    https://www.fmscout.com/a-wannachup-...sult-skin.html

    It also makes the main screen dark grey, rather than purple.

    Aren't logo packs a complete pain in the arse now due to Ed Woodward and his grubby mits? I find it so tedious looking at those generic ones.

    Nah, pretty sure you can just use FM20 logo's. I think the faces have changed, but logo's are still pretty easy.

    I'm getting dragged into the room on this one.

    What size/resolution laptop screen would be acceptable to play this on? I need a new one.
