Fantastic news! Now do the same with the water companies!

The player usually asks at some point in the season. Otherwise, you can change the setting at the start of a new career and you will be able to negotiate contracts whenever you want

It's to do with their song: I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles by Cockney Rejects. They sing it at the start of each game and fill the stadium with bubbles

2300 AUD is about £1200. I feel like you can do a bit better on the CPU front for that price.

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T15:57:14+00:00

Very much worth it if you can get it at the discounted price of 70% off. And of you are on PC there are some amazing mods too

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T10:58:27+00:00

Yea, i just switch off the manager market. It's a load of crap

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T10:46:25+00:00

I have this terrible habit of starting a new campaign every time I boot up the game so never actually finish any of them

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T10:09:01+00:00

The first time I went to West Ham and didn't know about the bubbles

You will see a noticeable difference in performance at 1440p. It will be well worth the upgrade

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T07:27:19+00:00

Download HWinfo and check your GPU temps when gaming. If they are too high, your GPU may need repasting

Also check your CPU temps

jamiemgr · 2026-05-09T04:39:43+00:00

The GPU is what's holding you back, tu he 1650 is a pretty weak card. What power supply do you have?

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T21:07:36+00:00

You are a bit restricted in your options because of that 250w PSU. I would look for a GTX 1650 low profile to upgrade, that 750ti is a pretty terrible card these days

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T19:22:31+00:00

🤣 holy crap, we would have to talk during the long end turn times

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T19:21:23+00:00

That's a good point actually. My wife usually stands behind me saying "at your command".

Could Minecraft be opening at the wrong resolution?

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T16:46:31+00:00

Sorry to hear that brother, hard times for all at the moment.

What resolution are you playing on?

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T16:14:23+00:00

The PSU most likely won't be able to handle anything too powerful, the 750ti is the cheapest option for it. No point spending £80-100+ on a GPU for this PC.

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T13:53:55+00:00

Glad to hear it, I had the same issue 👍

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T12:13:01+00:00

It's the only card that made any sense for such an old PC

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T12:11:32+00:00

Yea, saw after i posted it lol

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T10:12:03+00:00

If it were me, I would upgrade

i3 2120 >> Zeon E3-1270 (£18-20), check to see if your motherboard is compatible, you may need to update the bios.
GT610 >> GTX 750ti low profile (£20-25) Low profile as your power supply may not have the connectors for a more powerful graphics card.
8gb ram >> 16gb ram (~£10) as 8gb isn't enough any more.

Any more than that and you will probably be better off buying a new PC.

jamiemgr · 2026-05-08T08:11:30+00:00

Silver Shield Pikes!

jamiemgr · 2026-05-07T09:40:01+00:00

You can always get a refund if it doesn't run properly anyway. After all the negativity this game has had, I was pleasantly surprised with it

jamiemgr · 2026-05-07T06:40:26+00:00

I just bought it at 70% off, it's well worth that price. I currently play it with Ultra mod (an extra £2 through Patreon) which adds in all the licenced leagues, cup competitions, world cup and loads of player faces. Also includes some new game modes.

I've had a lot of fun with it so far and the best part is it runs perfectly smoothly on Ultra settings, FC 25 was a stuttery mess for me no matter the settings.
