It will take your soul.

I'm still on FM20 & have got an insane level 16 or something database with the most obscure English lower leagues & sub-leagues - at the min I'm Hersham boss,am hoping Wear Your Own Shirts FC don't come a-calling

Not played any of these for years. Easily my most played game of all time though. Tempted to get back involved.

I get so much mileage out of each game but with 21 I'm only a few seasons in to my second career game on it, can't remember if my Cov game went on for years or I've just played less. Considering the amount I've been WFH in the last year it has to be the former

I can only play the mobile one these days. Just don't have the time to spend 6 hours tinkering with my formation and searching for the exact perfect player.

The iPad version (football manager touch) is a lovely compromise if you like the full game but don’t quite have the time. Nearly all the features but scaled down and you can delegate most things and easily fly through seasons. Usually about £20 upon new release. Hiring a good chief scout takes care of finding great players, especially “wonderkids”.

Same. Lost so many hours as a student playing this that by the time I got a job I had to make sure I stopped buying it because it was taking up so much of my time, especially as the tactics and training became more involved. Closest thing to an addiction I've ever had. Would literally play it into the early hours of the morning.

Funny u say that as I've just downloaded and started a new season on mobile version it's actually pretty good, I have signed Jack Wilshire, G dos Santos free agents and sign a new left new back Durasi, striker lopes and a centre back lach on loan doing quite well not lost in the league yet only drew 2.

Haha, nah I wouldn't do that my tactical nous is very good just looks like that on the mobile version his job role is wingback just for the record..

Never seen the mobile version before now. I assumed it would look similar to the full game but it's a completely different thing altogether

I've just notice that the game I'm playing is soccer manager 2022 and not the new football manger, so apologies if its not allowed.

 

[ajsccfc]

Ah ok, now that makes more sense!

I was thinking that - all resolved now though.

Just seen this on Twitter

Anyone been playing the beta?

I’m still on 2021 on my iPad, gutted to hear that they aren’t doing touch on iPad for 2022.

Thing is though, I’m absolutely fucking shite. I dunno what’s happened, but I can’t win a game. Took notts county to the premier league and then it went into administration (I was like 200m in debt) and they sold all my best players so I quit and went to Leeds.

Bigger budget, made some solid signings. And I can’t win a fucking single game. No matter what formation or tactics I try. I’m terrible, relegation scrap already and it’s January.

4-2-3-1 counter attack, got Jadon Sancho on the left, wonderkid up top, some decent regen on the right. Declan rice and Kelvin philips CM.

Genuinely get so angry hahaha

Same here mate, always start the season really well and just hit poor form and cannot turn it around no matter what I do

I absolutely love it when you struggle at a job, get the sack then turn up somewhere else and smash it.

One of my favourite ever games I started at Charlton got sacked relegating them from the Championship and had to wait a year to get a job in Serie B for Brescia, promoted them, Champions league in a couple of years. Then got the Milan job, won the champions league. Went to Liverpool and got sacked first season when I was 10th. Newcastle job, won the double.

The rollercoaster of it not always working out is the best.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Another favourite was winning the league 6 years in a row for man city pre takeover.

I wanted this Japanese regen that scored 30 a year 4 years in a row for Newcastle and they wouldn't let me so I quit and they offered me the job back with £200m to spend so I could buy him. Took it, bought him, he was shit for me and they went bust sold all the players and got relegated but they didn't dare sack me for some reason.

[covcity4life]

Is beta for everybody or only with pre order?

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Is beta for everybody or only with pre order?

Only with preorder bought from steam or epic games on pc/mac

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Going to start with sutton utd when the full game comes out , could be a challenge to get them to the prem!

 

[Frostie]

Is beta for everybody or only with pre order?

Pre-order but I think you can still order now & get immediate access.
Shopto have it for about £25

I usually buy direct from steam. Will have a look.

Is it different from fm19 where gegenpress is overpowered?

Yeah, massively from what I've seen/read. Got to confess I've not played a great deal yet but one of the release notes made a point of exactly that. If you don't have players with excellent stamina, teamwork, workrate etc. you'll get torn up.

I'm looking forward to the Data Hub.

 

[ajsccfc]

I got mine from Shopto after the beta had started so you should get immediate access unless something's changed

I pre-ordered but yeah, says immediate access. Bargain price too.

Does shopto send you a steam code?

I'm tempted to buy it right now but I rly want it through steam in terms of convienence for online multiplayer fm games.
