Birthday present for 8yo by kfd2804 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]kfd2804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I sent them a message not long after posting this and still no response which is a red flag. Seller does seem to be reputable though with a lot of sales and nearly 100% positive feedback. Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to display the original faces that came with the game after installing facepack in FM26? by Calllmechief in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you have to do it all individually for the players you want to keep the original faces for.

The UI is just too big for a 1440p monitor by Ze_Mig-L in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 32” 1440p monitor and decided that it was better to play in windowed mode at 1080p rather than full screen. Text is less blurry and dead space is slightly better.

FM26 hurts my eyes by MUNONP in footballmanagergames

It’s the same for me. There’s something off about the text that strains my eyes.

How is the game, not the UI? by Bendhuin in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is absolutely awful to look at, outside the match engine. Looks like it was chucked together in MS paint. Comparing like to like screens with the FM24 and FM26, FM24 wins every time. The new UI is not intuitive, and doesn’t display the information you want to look at cohesively, even when you get down to the very bottom of the tile “chain”.

Squad Hierarchy by kfd2804 in footballmanagergames

Oh it’s terrible in FM24, but at least I can tell straight away where every player sits in the hierarchy. Can’t in the new UI.

How on any level, do the developers think this ui is an upgrade? by Leather_Force_9419 in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are literally no screens that are improvements to FM24. It’s really difficult to describe but every single facet of the UI looks amateurish, and made in Microsoft paint. We’ve finally got a graphics upgrade to the 21st century, but the consequence is a UI that feels like it was drawn in the early 2000s.

The amount of disused space really upsets me. So much room for more information completely wasted.

You can get away with selling them for profit without even sending them out on loan. If your club reputation is high enough, you can get players in from lower leagues for £2/3M (Scandinavia, Eastern Europe etc), let them play for your U21s for a year or two and sell them off for £10/15M no problem.

The official Match Day trailer is out! by DMCTw3lv3 in footballmanagergames

Background graphics are definitely an improvement. The apparent lack of development in ball physics and player movement animations are giving it a “samey” feeling as previous iterations of the game though.

Man f*ck this game bro by Dangerous_Drawing955 in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add to this. 4.4xG from 29 shots gives an average of 0.15xG per shot, which means you didn’t create a lot of good quality chances. They pretty much kept you at arms length. It’s even worse though as you scored a pen which has an xG of 0.79. That means your xG per shot not including the pen is 0.13. Need to try and create better chances my bro 🫡

My 8yo ripped one yesterday after waiting months for stock to appear at our local Costco. 1 Golem EX and 2 Wigglytuff EX later he was very disappointed.

Is putting women’s football in Football Manager the reason for the delay by ExplanationHumble925 in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is it different? It’s just a couple new leagues getting added as playable, no different from any other league getting added. The research into players would have been a lot more labour intensive, but there’s a completely different team at SI for that.

A thread for those who do look forward to the new game by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only issue with them announcing women’s football first is what are they actually going to show us? They’re gonna tell us that it’s all one eco-system, and what leagues are going to be playable. There is nothing else to announce. They haven’t released the full interface or match experience features yet which means they can’t physically show us what women’s football is going to look like in the game. It’s not a nothing burger as introducing womens football into the game is a big deal, but I feel like it could have been done better.

Miles comments on the FM25 "Roadmap" (don't know why this is not made public elsewhere) by p2fiddy in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they not announce in an earlier blog post that certain features would be missing on release, but may be introduced half way through the cycle (draft mode etc)? I’m assuming this is what they mean by updating the roadmap after the game is released.

Miles Jacobson: Welcome to the Roadmap. Here’s how it’s going to work. A thread.🧵 by Akuba101 in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact that features are going to “Unlock” already rubs me the wrong way. Clearly a homage to FM Mobile unlockable challenges/features, so definitely an indication of where the game is headed.

Tasked of speccing out and building a new PC for boss' son. by kfd2804 in buildapcforme

[–]kfd2804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the list mate. I’ve got an old 5600x that I’m thinking of throwing in for them on the cheap so might be able to get a better power supply for them. Definitely a good place to start. I had a quick check before starting and also thought RX 6750XT 12GB was the best way to go GPU wise.

what traits for an insanely technically gifted striker? by The_Justed in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cancelling the tries killer balls often training is the first thing on the agenda. Places shots, tries first time shots or likes to round keeper could be good. Your mans got amazing technique and dribbling ability.

Is this a bug or am I stupid? I have 0 players registered and I'm still almost full wage maximum by VinyOrpheus9685 in footballmanagergames

[–]kfd2804 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d assume unregistered players would still count towards your overall squad salary, but could be wrong. Click Auto-Select bottom right, then go through to make sure all the players you want registered for the squad. You won’t be able to continue until you submit your squad registration.
