Whiskey 1,187 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 FM21 has been the worst one by a long way, really hoping that they can get back to the standard that they've set previously with 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's been so bad about it? 21 is the first I've played since 2014 (and I didn't play that one properly) so I don't know how different it is to previous versions. I'm enjoying this one though. I doubt I'll get the next one as things stand but if I do it won't be until later next year as I know there's always issues that need fixing with these new releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Not really bothered by how good the games are year to year as I think they’re great regardless and buy them anyway. I don’t really get strung up on minor details, so I’ll get this at Christmas as per every year. Never really done it but Barcelona with their finances could be a good save.

I know that the game have bugs at launch too, but this year was something else. Having to scrap careers because the AI couldn't register any players (forcing them to play U21's/U18's) and the bug where no newgens generated set the scene and killed the mood for me. I just think that it's honestly a bit of a hot mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It goes without saying I love FM and would have given the 2021 version a 10/10. The FM 2022 would have received a 9.5/10 largely due to the points @Whiskeymade around the interface and the changes to the match experience. I am a still massive fan of the touch version by the way. Hopefully they improve the backroom staff numbers albeit I'm not sure if that will affect the speed of the game. Not decided who to manage for definite yet. If I was to consider overseas management I'd possibly look a side like Fiorentina. I've not managed in Serie A since Juventus became a juggernaut but with the league becoming more open it looks far more appealing. In England I'd probably start at Spurs with the challenge of selling Harry Kane within the first twelve months and building a new squad. I considered Barnsley and MK Dons to see if I could replicate the Brentford model successfully but doing so would be very similar to my last FM 21 save with Wigan that went ridiculously well.

Whiskey 1,187 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I stopped playing FM a while ago, wouldn't say I'm excited about the new game but if it's back to what FM20 (and those before it) then I'll be made up. I've got a week off work booked from the 8th too so will probably be hammering my way through it . Going to do a BETA save with PSG, just because of the ridiculous squad they have but haven't decided on my first "proper" save. I always say I'll do a Wrexham save (as I lived there) and never do, but will probably jump on it this season due to the fact that they've been taken over and the fact that in real life they'll probably get out of the non league.

Surely it must have sold well enough on other platforms (I highly doubt Nintendo would attempt to buy exclusive rights to FM Touch). Reading the blog they've published they've put it down to sales on Google Play Store, Apple Store etc for FM Touch not being worth the cost and work to get those games to a working standard every year. Not sure how they've measured it with Steam because you get the Touch version free with the full version which is what I've used it by. They've also mentioned covid which I'm not giving much thought too as Sports Interactive have previously claimed they've made a killing through Covid and its becoming the 'wasters dream' excuse for problems. I'm disappointed with it. The big pro of FM Touch is that it runs so smooth and quick because all the bulky features they've added since FM 19 with the press conferances, huge backroom staff set up etc are not there.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Playing the beta I think there's enough that's different to keep me invested for the next year. Started off with Barnsley. Eight points in the first five games and knocked out both Sheff Utd and West Brom in the Carabao Cup. Going with the moneyball approach with transfers. Styles, Helik and Woodrow all look very good early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They've tweaked the match day experience again but it's easier to adapt if you played FM21. They really want people to get immersed in to the 3D match engine but I still find myself gravitating to the 2d version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoRoss 800 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Newcastle United getting £200 million transfer budget, and £600k free in wages. Sounds like the perfect place to start off and get used to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the 3D engine is pretty abysmal tbh, even on the high powered machines that you see the YouTubers using. It's 2D all the way for me.

Even if they had Fifa graphics I find this method easier with a management game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Never been arsed with the 3D engine in all honesty. One of the first things I turn off as like @The Palace Fan, I prefer having 2D extended highlights as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted October 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2021 I used to be like you, and didn't like the 3D thing. Mostly because I don't like change and I was used to 2D for over a decade. Starting using 3D two years ago, and I'm never going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with PSG, planned to do 2-3 years with them but going to just call it a day after one. Won the title unbeaten, 28 points clear of Lyon in 2nd - 34 wins and 4 draws. Won the French Cup, with a 2-0 win over Rennes (before beating them 6-0 in the league the week after) and won the French Super Cup 3-1 against Lille. Annihilated most of the league, including a 10-0 dismantling of Angers in Gameweek 5. Going to start with Wrexham tomorrow, seeing as *touch wood* there doesn't seem to be any gamebreaker bugs so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted October 31, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2021 Started a save with Fortuna Düsseldorf. Our Japanese player Ao Tanaka is not even in the game. Apparently because he's on loam from Kawasaki Frontale, and FM doesn't have the rights for Japanese teams. Unplayable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
