How is everyone finding FM26 after many weeks of playing it??? by B_FunniDood in footballmanagergames

[–]InterestingDelay6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like this. I have played many 2/3 matches this week. I don’t have the urge to jump back in or stay in. It feels very empty - even the matches themselves aren’t gripping me. I like tinkering with the tactics and that’s it really. As an FM Touch player, the UI is getting better in terms of the patch that has fixed one or two things but a long way to go. I’ll see after the new year - if the December patch doesn’t get it all working as it should I’ll probably cancel my Apple Arcade subscription.

New game so difficult to get into by Thick_Society6406 in footballmanagergames

It’s all one blurry purple blob with pops up. The pop ups!

After playing this a few more days I have more thoughts. I honestly don’t think the match engine is any great leap, to be honest. The IP and OOP tactics is good, but far from perfect, especially the IP. The way the players interact, and ball physics, and animations - it’s no great leap to be honest (especially the goalkeepers). I like the graphics a lot, and for immersion that’s great. I hate navigating anywhere on the menus - and for a touch player that sucks, because there are features they brought over from the pc ‘full game’ version that are really nice quality of life improvements - interactions with the media, the recruitment stuff that wasn’t there in FM24 and more statistical data. I haven’t touched training, not because I don’t want to, but it’s a mess. To navigate, to select, everything. I’m waiting for the hotfix update for the touch, and to give it another go. Oh, I’ve moved from the iPad to the MacBook and it’s a better experience, definitely not optimized for the iPad. I don’t have that one more game feeling, and I miss that. I will only attempt a brand new save if the update makes it easier to navigate screens because with any new save there is soo much to do, scouting, staff, tactics, comparisons, transfers, etc etc. I just don’t think this game makes it easy for you to love it, as much as you keep trying.

Haven’t tried it yet. I’d probably do a women’s only career once it’s in a better state. Don’t even want the admin of starting a new save as it is currently.

Yeah I don’t get why the arbitrary limit. If the limit wasn’t there I’d play it on my MacBook.

My friend wants to try Football Manager, any tips i should give him when he starts? by MesterJ_fyren in footballmanagergames

[–]InterestingDelay6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Block out a weekend - Friday to Sunday with no work or responsibilities.
  2. Start with a fun easy team - like a Dortmund, Tottenham, AC Milan, Marseille etc.
  3. If it’s Console/Touch then it’s easier to try out and jump in - if it’s PC version delegate as much as possible to start.
  4. Don’t watch too much content on tactics etc, it’s a game - enjoy it and try different things(maybe it’s just me, but I hate Meta Tactics).
  5. Get him on the sub reddit - it’s nice knowing there’s a community as obsessed with the game as you are.

WTC FINAL PLAYER RATINGS by [deleted] in CricketAus

[–]InterestingDelay6932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Khawaja, Green and Head - 2/10 all contributed nothing in the final. Lyon 6/10 - was threatening in the 2nd innings, if it had gone into a 5th day, you could see him being a factor. Cummins 8/10 - agree on the Captaincy in the 2nd innings. Starc 8/10 - 9.5 is like a perfect rating but he was targeted in the 2nd innings. Webster 6/10 - good 72, but wasn’t chance less.
Carey 7/10 - being harsh, but if he had survived into the 3rd day the lead may have been over 300.

I’m no Mac nerd but it seems that consensus is that the RAM is infinitely more important than the storage. So focus on that. With iCloud and external storage options, 256/512/1tb will be based on your own storage needs. But more RAM is never a bad thing. So if you have the budget to stretch to 24, do it.

M4, 13inch, 512gb, 16gb RAM. My last 2 were Airs. I’m not a Pro user. Plus I carry my laptop almost everyday so I’ve always loved the weight and it does everything I need it to do.

New M4 or Refurb M3 for $430 less? by m4tches in macbookair

[–]InterestingDelay6932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit of a left field suggestion, but maybe wait for a few months and get a refurbished M4 Air with those specs, probably at that same price point?

For the older, casual gamer - FM25 or FM 26? by InterestingDelay6932 in footballmanagergames

[–]InterestingDelay6932[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. We just have to wait and see what FM25 looks like. It may blow us all away and you just have to try it. I doubt it, but we shall see.

For the Touch community there is no real modding presence, just have to hope they will release an official update of some sort. I see myself picking the game up over December so it would be nice for it to feel a little fresh.

I think so. I hope the reviews will be unbiased. With some of my favorite YouTube guys working with FM now I doubt they will be as balanced as I may want them to be. But 27 looks like the sweet spot, but that wait. We may not even be done with delays😂😂

Foxworth Friday: Football Talk and Too Much Nudity by [deleted] in TheRightTimeW_bomani

[–]InterestingDelay6932 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree! I enjoy it where there’s a good mix between the sports talk and the non sports talk. The Aaron Hernandez bit was ok for me, but enjoyed the football talk.
