    1080p any size screen that suits ya mate, obviously smaller it is the more cramped it'll be.

    I'm on 4k and its glorious.

    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?

    Nope. Its more xG is poorly implemented. It is their first attempt at it though, I pay it no attention.

    The 3D match graphics seem to run much smoother and nice compared to 20, which was stop-motion juddery nonsense on my creaky PC.

    Yes. Camavinga is consistently 7 or above.

    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.

    That's good that. He's out of contract in 2022, so it makes sense that PSG would sell him summer of 2021. Finally, the FM AI making some proper decisions.

    Yep happens quite often, if players refuse to sign then clubs will list them. A streamer got Sancho for 50mil as he flat out refused to sign an extension with an underperforming Dortmund.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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...

    I've shelved it until it's patched. I can get on board with most of the issues, but having to click a centimetre above whatever I want to click on is a no go. It makes substitutions and moving players pretty much impossible.

    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.

    I started with Spurs and it's all the front 3. The rest of the squad is utter shite. To top it off I had 7 first team players out on 1 month+ injuries by October. I only had 1 centreback left and that was Dier, who may actually be worse than not having one at all.
