    Took over man city, to see all the new stuff, spent 3 hours "fixing things" and then a crash, save often in the beta.

    i like the new training (will be great for building teams from over a long save) and staff search for the under age squads. yet to play a match.

    Anyone having any trouble getting the stadium backgrounds pack working ? I have everything else working the logos, license fix and player faces.

    I think the layout is different to last year so who ever makes custom skins will have to update them before it works in 16.

    I havent seen any released yet and hoping someone brings out the small sidebar again as i really hate the normal one.

    I'm guessing you need to pre-order to get Beta access?
    Anyone know the cheapest place to pre-order?

    Just to say purchased yesterday from instant gaming, still no key, got an email to say there's a delay in getting them from sega.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,472 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    Got mine from Greenmangaming for €40 using the discount code FACEYO-URFEAR-S22PER. Bought from them the past few years because they are reliable. The code was available instantly.

    Seems GMG have upped the price slightly now compared to yesterday. The discount code brings it down to €42.90 now.

    I bought and started Prison Architect yesterday so FM is gonna have to wait a while! Have fun with it fellas!

    Underwhelmed so far

    Aesthetically there's little improvement or change on 2015

    Match engine still sucks

    Really hope the full version will be better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Mister Robinson


    There seem to be quite a few bugs this year from what I can see. First time I've encountered bugs while in the beta. I've never had issues in the previous beta's.

    The manager set up at the start is a bit cheesy. It's a nice idea, but I don't see the point in it as he is just a dot on the side-lines!

    Loading times seem a bit smoother and quicker. Especially in and out of match engines. The layout seems about the same with some adjustments.

    I think the manager thing is more about being able to give yourself an in game face on your manager screen rather than the dot in the match engine.

    I was really looking forward to this. Then I got the newest DB update for CM 01/02 and kinda forgot about FM entirely :'(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,472 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    2015
    Started off unemployed with lowest reputation and was hired by Pune FC in India. Finished 3rd that season after injuries derailed our title challenge. Contract was up and I decided to leave for something else.

    2016
    Spent a few months looking for a new job. Decided to join Albirex Niigata (Singapore) with 7 games left in their season. They were bottom (10th) and I got them up to 8th, and won the league cup.

    2017
    Left Niigata after the season. Applied for the Home United job, who are also in Singapore but a bigger side. Got the job and finished 2nd in my first season. Led a lot of the way before injuries to my striker and starting goalkeeper ruined everything. Also retained the league cup with my new team.

    2018
    Kept the exact same team, just added one or two backup players. We won the league by 3 points and it should have been more really. Crap scheduling had me playing games every 2/3 days near the end of the season which was awful.

    2019
    Lost my best player on a free after the season because of financial problems, those problems also stopped me from replacing him as well.
    As I won the league, I qualified for the Asian CL starting in the first qualifying round. I easily beat Filipino side Kaya 4-0. In the 2nd qualifying round I was drawn against North Korean side April 25. I was 1-33 favourites, and that is when it happened. One of the most embarrassing defeats in my FM career to a team of North Koreans. :o The 121st minute winner was jammy as f*ck.

    Ra7nZu3.png

    If I had went through, I would have been drawn against a team from Vietnam in the final qualifying round. I was 2-0 against the Vietnamese champions in a tournament called the 'Singapore Cup', and I expected to qualify for the groups and sort out the teams financial problems.

    I have resigned in shame after the defeat to the North Koreans and am currently looking for a new job. :pac:

    Enjoying the new FM though and for a beta there aren't any big bugs that I have come across.

    I'm looking to get back into FM after a few years break, what sort of money can I expect to spend on a laptop which would comfortably run this game? At least 8 or 9 countries in a game anyway.

    If someone could recommend a particular laptop, it would be much appreciated.

    Trying to sign Pogba, deal agreed for €130m

    He wants 2.6m for winning champions league, I can only offer him 1.9m, so I also offer him 1.1m if we reach the final, so if we win it he'll get 3m in total

    And because I can't give him the 2.6m he won't budge from, I lose out on the deal

    Don't ya know he'll come back to haunt me yet

    I haven't even made it past September 2015!!

    When the teams you are managing don't have any money there's no messing about in transfer windows which saves a lot of time! The leagues in India and Singapore are short (20 games & 27 games) with multiple long spells of 2-3 weeks between matches, which take about 30 seconds to sim since my PC is fast. I've also sim'd about 10 months in total looking for jobs.

    2019
    Spent 6 weeks looking for a new job before being hired by Indonesian Super League side Persik. They sacked their manager with 8 games left as they were hovering around the relegation zone when mid table was the goal. The ISL is ranked 17 places higher than the S-League, so it's a step up.
    Disappointingly lost my first two games which dragged us even closer to the drop, before bouncing back with great 2-1 wins over 4th placed Semen Padang and 2nd placed Persib. 4 games left now and I'm 8 points above the drop. Last 4 games are against 1st, 2nd, 14th & 15th. Not safe yet!

    The squad is huge (31 players total). I hate having a squad bigger than 22/23, so I'm going to let about 13 contracts expire. For the first time in the save I'll have €€€ to bring in players for my system. I estimate about €4k p/w savings getting rid of the deadwood and €7k p/w total when added to what is available currently. I'm excited :D.

    I have an i5 4670k 16GB ram.

    Should also probably mention I use Instant Result for friendlies and cup games against non league teams. Saves a good bit of time.

    A season in with Chelsea, done well in the first year, won the league by 7 pts, lost only 5 games all year and drew 2, won 31. City in 2nd only lost 2 but drew 10 games and that was their downfall.

    Won the UCL but poxed the semi final and final, beating Benica 4-3 over two legs after winning the home leg 3-0, PSg beat Real in the other semi final and that was another game we won in extra time after going 1 down inside 4mins.

    Needed defensive cover so tried to sign Stones at the start of the season offered £55m and about 130k a week, he ended up at Utd for £48m and 88k a week, was fuming at that and ended up paying £60m upfront for Varane and another £20m in add ons aswell as a ton of bonuses to budge him for Real, it worked anyway as he made team of the year.

    Stripped out alot of deadwood at the start of the year too, Ivanovic, Mikel, Ramires all sold, brought in a combined 45m.

    Kenedy had a real breakout season as well and finished with 15goals, often keeping Willian and Pedro out of the team, Benfica are sniffing around too for a reported 22m but I've no interest in selling him.

    Start of the 2nd season and I've brought in Pogba after swapping Juventus Cuadrado and £105m, the wages were a huge issue as hes now on £275k, he originally wanted 320K. I've sold Matic to PSG for 35m and Oscar to Real for 40m to somewhat balance the books. Other guys sold include Moses, Salah and Begovic, meaning I need a 2nd GK and the current AC Milan GK, Donnarumma came to mind, until Real signed him for about £2m so a few days before the new season starts and I need a decent 2nd choice GK.

    Overall enjoying the game, I'll probably get another season or two under my belt before its properly released and I'll start a new save.

    Didn't the two clubs have a falling out a couples of years ago over two youth players Chelsea took from Leeds? Maybe that's what it's alluding too!

    Downloaded this last night and can't wait to get a game started tonight after work.....don't know who to start with - Parma, Carpi, Leeds and FC United are all calling out to me
