Cheers DS.
I quite would like this but I'm a little put off by the fact that they are adding even more faff around talking to players etc.
If they managed to make that into a way that it actually brought some value, fair enough. But in every game I've played so far, all those things - including "making contract negotiations more realistic" have always ended up turning into more of a chore, and the few times they make things better are when they simplify things (like thet kind of did with training, after a while).
Making "Matchday a proper event" is also bollocks. Whenever I play this I want to get as many matches in, in as little time as possible.
Given the xG's in that screenshot DS, are longshots utterly broken?
Nothing new. Villa did it first.
The 3D match graphics seem to run much smoother and nice compared to 20, which was stop-motion juddery nonsense on my creaky PC.
Whew how much did Neymar cost?

Are defensive midfielders now capable of notching high performance ratings?
How about keepers?
I'm a twit
They're better. If they don't face shots then they get mid 6 ratings, but then they have to do fuck all. I've had a couple MotMs from de Gea/Donnarumma, where in previous versions I'd be lucky to get one or two all year.
Here it is anyway, use the 2323 formation:

Also brought a 36yo Ronaldo back to United. 19 goals in 14 as a poacher
I'm still getting used to the lack of positional suitability showing on the tactics screen, but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon. Also, the UI seems to be not at all catered for my stupid square laptop screen, but I'm blaming myself more than SI for that one.
Bloody hell that bright white inbox is harsh on the old eyes.

Riddled with problems for me, this. It took 4 restarts just for the fucker to be usable as the game was bigger than my screen. Even now I have to click a centimetre above whatever I'm trying to select.
I have no goalscorers listed at the end of each game. Just a list of minutes that the goals were scored.
XG is completely fucked as DS said. Played a 3-3 game with Liverpool and our XG's were something like 0.14 vs 0.35. I've never failed to score or concede in a game.
The transfer window seems particularly hungry. Which I like, but it runs contrary to previous versions. I put some absolute shit on the transfer list and they were all gone within 2 weeks.
I think I'm going to put it to bed until it's patched. It was just winding me up last night.
The only problem I have is the drag and drop when making a tactic. Kept missing the drop zone and had to do each player 3 or 4 times before it stuck. Not sure if it’s just on that screen or if the cursor is out on everything - will investigate later!

Oh shit, I've found an old CM/FM story from the forum days in my emails.
One of the images attached to it is this - I'm going to have a read through, if anyone's interested I'll re-post.
Chaps,
I'm toying with purchasing the new FM. My laptop, which was once a very good spec (I believe) is 2013 vintage. Please see it's system info/spec below. Can someone more learned than me advise if it is or is not shit by modern day standards? Should i be buying a new laptop?
My laptop is a bog standard one (albeit new) and it runs it fine*.
*well, the game doesn't work properly, but it's not slow.

I faffed about with FM20 when it got cracked but soon got bored and returned to my CM03/04 save, where I'm currently still bossing the world with THE MIGHTY BLADES, like I have been since the game came out.
The series peaked at 03/04 If you ask me. Proper balance of detail with the ability to smash a season mega quickly.
I've holiday'd to Sep 2023 if anyone wants a screenshot....
Players by value

I was looking through the England youth teams, and there are a shittonne of Middlesbrough players, so I've taken over at 'Boro. 3rd in Championship - decent squad and 8 4.5/5 star newgens.
Had a fun little couple of seasons with Airdrie in the Scottish D2 to get the hang of the new features but looking for something more fun to start over with now.
Disappointed with the Arsenal data, Saka never playing, same goes for Martinelli, Maitland Niles is no longer natural in midfield (he’d be well pissed off with that), Lacazette is good... call me Matralux but that just won’t do...
Gonna persist on fm20 as I'm too involved in this 0607 database im using. Can't utilise the most out of amazing amc jason koumas tho, any tips for good attacking mids on fm20? Especially looking at you @Dark Soldier
Don't mind retraining.
I can't decide who to go. I was going to start as Oxford City or Wrexham but I quite fancy starting near the top just so I can enjoy some of the players.
Any suggestions before I just LFC it?
I’m Spurs and my god their squad is THIN. Bought John Stones and then failed to get that Edouard from Celtic, after letting dickhead Levy do the contact negotiation, so now I’ve got 25m burning a hole in my pocket. Tbf that striker I’ve never heard of that they’ve got on loan from Benfica looks good, so might try to buy another centrehalf.

Not on FM21 they don’t, cos Miles is a mug.
