    What are sports scientists and data analysts for? I'm assuming they are new, as i never noticed them before.

    Has anybody purchased this through g2play? It's sort of putting me off saying it's a pre-order and you'll receive your CD key when it's released in November... hesitant.

    They'll deliver it on the release date. So no beta access.

    Sports science is like a physio, can tell you more about likely injuries, or injuries reaacurring

    Data analysis is a more in depth scout

    With Peterborough and my 17 yo wonderkid Da Silva who is in my first team got poached by Brighton on a free after a few weeks and I didn't even realise his contract was expiring. Not happy.

    I've pre-ordered for the Steam discount, but I've never bothered with the Beta before - usually just wait for the full game.

    Is there generally much difference between the two?

    Did the exact same myself.

    Haven't played FM in a few years, but threw myself into it last night in a Southampton save, and quite enjoyed it. Getting the tactics and the training/coaching staff right is a bit daunting, but approaching the final game of preseason and my side is starting to play some, *Alan Partridge voice*, "liquid football".

    Match engine seems decent. Haven't noticed the same things working, or not working, again and again. I play in 2D, out of habit, so can't really comment on the new camera angles for 3D, or anything of that nature.

    Scouting seems to be a bit more effort than it was a few years ago, which I like. Could also be the standard of my scouts in play as well.

    Picked Belotti up for 16m and he scored 2 in each of his first two preseason games. Here's hoping he lights up the PL! Not exactly a scouting gem, I know, but I did pick up a RB for 3 or 4m who seems pretty good thus far.

    Liking the look and feel of this so far, anyway.

    I dont really like the look of the new squad depth page - preferred the one in previous versions. Is there any way to get it back to the old view?

    Bought it from FM Scout a little while ago, its downloading currently, I am one of the ones who liked FM16 so hoping they can build upon that for me and make it that bit better again this year.

    The Brexit conundrum is going to be an interesting one for sure.

    How does fmscout work? Is it the full game and exactly the same as the normal version through steam? Also, when you download it do you also have to download added kits for teams/ names/ kits etc?

    Never used it before but the site seems great and its a good price!

    Yep exactly the same. FM scout email you am activation code and you use that on your steam account to access the download. Works the exact same thereafter as if you bought it from steam directly.

    Yep still requires lots of additional graphics, logos, face packs etc. If you want that as part of the experience. Fm 2016 downloads work mostly too. Fm scout had about 22 downloads for Fm 2017 already, but most are just a conversion from those from fm16
