    Another year, another game.

    Personally, for the last few years I've skipped every other title so this year after last playing 2016, I'll find myself buying 2018 which is down for release on November 10.

    Plenty of info available for this online at the moment, hell, even the touch games looks pretty good but I'd never find the time to play it.

    Oh and to add to this, if you pre-purchase FM 2018 before October 9th and you have 2017 in your library, you get 25% off 2018.

    Saw that offer on Steam, sadly I'm like yourself - have bought every other year.

    However, the amount of time spent flicking through Netflix, youtube & other ****e online, I've come to the conclusion it's perfectly Ok to be engrossed in FM, still! :D

    Really looking forward to it & have very fond memories of the winter nights playing FM until all hours, also the odd year you'd get it as a surprise for christmas!

    Roll on November!

    Its available on FMScout for £37.99 with Beta access, the pound is still pretty weak against the Euro so its about €42, so I'll probably pull the trigger on that and buy it in the coming days.

    There usually is but you have to pre-order the main game and you can carry your save over. Its usually available 2weeks before the game drops.

    There's two videos out now explaining new features. The first is on Dynamics and the second is on the revamped Scouting system. I haven't watched them through because I can't stand the guy who is explaining it on the video!

    Yeah he's a bit shouty and condescending I thought. I like the look of dynamics, I always wanted to have player relationships be more intricate and while I think you could already lose the dressing room (a full squad of low morale players is very tough to turn around and win consistently with) it should be good to have it laid out properly.

    Scouting I won't be sure about til I play. It looks like playing as a lower league club will be even tougher and I dread to think how badly it'll impact games with Irish teams.

    Lads

    when you lot are starting a new save, how many countries do you select and how many as playable leagues? I'm finding there's a lot of players and wonderkids not showing up for me when I search.

    I normally choose

    England
    Scotland
    France
    Italy
    Germany
    Holland
    Spain
    Portugal
    Brazil
    Argentina
    USA

    All as playable leagues - gives me a database of about 55,000 players and a computer running performance of 2 and a half stars

    Picked this up for €2.54 last night, was looking something else on allkeyshop and it was on the front page, only lasted a few minutes so was very lucky, gonna leave it awhile though till they release a proper patch and not just hotfixes.

    That's a phenominal steal, 95% off or something!

    There should be a key code inside the game, in order to download from Steam.

    It was a fluke really, went back up to €32 within a couple of minutes, must of just been a price error.

    Decent but they could have updated the press conferences as they are still the same.
    Seems a bit cluttered with all the info now and stuff from the data analysts but maybe some people like all of that so I guess they not going to please everyone.
    Will wait until all the patches are out until seeing if any of the other issues get fixed

    Not feeling it this year, my laptop is struggling a bit with it too which makes it a lot less enjoyable to play. The have hidden some match day stuff away like opposition instructions which I keep forgetting to set before matches.

    Its not really hidden its when you are giving a team talk its at the top of the page, but yeah they seem to have clogged up the ui with stuff instead of changing those god forsaken media interviews which have been the exact same for years now with the same questions over and over

    There's a lot of ****e needless unneccessary features this year

    Fat needs to be trimmed and go back to basics.

    Scouting screens and system is a joke this year

    Scout reports now come back with general ratings, have taken the place of the star system on the player search screen.

    Yea it's a bit ****.

    Also the scouting centre is crap, needs an attribute analysis on the front page of the report so you can instantly see who you dont want and dont have to click more than you need to.

    Hidden probably the wrong word choice, but added extra clicks to get to get to screens Its the first year in a long time I have thought about going back to the previous years.

    Hey does anyone else find the game somewhat unplayable in its current format? im an old school player ans have always played with commentary only. Unless I am missing something, there doesn't seem to be an option to turn off the dismal 3d match engine? is there any way to play with just commentary like all older versions and/or turn off the 3d? its driving me mental and im finding the game unplayable as is

    When you start a match click on the settings icon in the top right. Where it says 'show' you can change Extended Highlights to only commentary. Combine that with the 2D classic camera and I assume it'll look similar to how it did years ago.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates the new scout reports, even the player search screen is bad. There's no need for the little pitch to show positions and they essentially messed with the one thing I don't think ever needed changing. With the scout reports it takes too many clicks to get what I want, and with a big club there's so many coming all the time that I just skip most of them. Then with a smaller team they're really infrequent and I find that when I scout a player for a week I don't get that report in my inbox, I have to remember to go out of my way and into scouting just to see it. I am enjoying the game but this aspect really annoys me.
