stokeriño Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 FM12 is ranked 3rd in my Steam games' playing time, apparently. Behind only FM15 and EU4. FM20 has got about a thousand hours to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malenko Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Out of curiosity, don't you all send them home when that happens? Every single time it happened to me, I just sent whoever it was home. He could be Messi for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjen Robben Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Well yeah, not sure why it even gives you other options tbh, it's like the game is just daring you to fuck about just to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get much time to play FM20 while it's free because I'm already behind with work whilst working from home. What I've checked out so far seems to cover the flaws I've found with FM12, which I've put 3,222 hours into according to Steam and have at least 6 active saves I've played in 2020 alone, but definitely goes a bit overboard on the depth in places. At least it seems like you can change staff responsibilities to basically make the game as complex as you want it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could work it to your advantage sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god, I hate that, it takes them out for fucking ages doesn’t it. I’ve always wondered if that’s meant to be something specific that they just didn’t want to actually name. I say always, the few occasions it’s come up would be more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 My work is dead. So, uh, this happened. Started unemplyed, no reputation etc. Got a job in November managing the mighty Farsley Celtic FC. Managed to move them all the way from 20th to 19th over an incredibly inconsistent season, via a cup run to the FA Cup 3rd Round. The football was largely dreadful, the players weren't great, except I have a very good striker. Spent the summer remoulding the squad, picking up young talented players on frees. Successful pre-season, lots of good players. Lost the first game 0-1. Shots 21-2. Classic. Won the next two, though. I'm going to play a dangerous amount of FM.

Szumi Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Holy shit, FM20 is awful to navigate and I don't like it at all. The squad and tactics layout is so awful compared to what I'm used to with 12. I'm a fucking dinosaur 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be something which improves with familiarity but it almost feels like there's too much going on at times. I've been struggling to identify player condition and fitness before game because it just doesn't seem to stand out as easily. It probably doesn't help that the pitch interface and player list have swapped sides haha. Quick subs during games seem to make up for it quite a bit, at least. Started a season with Chelsea, to get an understanding of the general gameplay before I even consider touching the transfers. Pre-season went ok except for a few injuries picked up. Just beat West Ham 3-0 in the season opener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METALMAN Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 the thing I don't get about the newer FM games is this bizarre idea that manually setting training schedules is going to be a fun thing that people will actually choose to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
