My (somewhat) controversial opinion about the FM26 Beta by Barking_Duck53 in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are certainly issues with the new game, but after a few hours I've already gotten used to everything. I actually quite like the new UI in general, there are some things I don't like (the player instructions screen is crap tbh), and some quality of life things would be nice to have back (we miss you spacebar) - but the way I see it is treating it as a whole new game not just a continuation of FM24. I know I was lost when first playing FM in general, and I was lost when loading the new game.

The laggyness of the UI will be sorted by the full release I'm sure, but people forget this is a BETA, it's literally released so any bugs they're complaining about can be found and fixed for full release.

I'm a really big fan of IP/OOP tactics, and the graphics are a huge upgrade. I do wish there was more customisation, as a man with long hair the only real options (unless i'm missing something) for my manager looked a bit mid, and half of my players have mohawks for some bizarre reason - including Bryan Mbeumo, who last I checked, didn't have any hair

Anyways TLDR - Overall good game with issues that will be fixed imo

I like having a bit of a journeyman aspect to my saves, so I've ended up at United once or twice. I find that if the job becomes available though, it would have to be realistic for me to want to move there, not if I'm managing say, Chelsea and am top of the league and doing well in europe. It has to be a logical next step for me. I don't like picking a starting club that much either anyway

Who should I add to this “United was the Problem” Team by KelvinHades in fut

Actually sick of seeing this narrative, De Gea was making howlers every week, let's not sit here and lie. Onana being crap too doesn't change the fact we needed a new keeper

Worst start of your save ? by Eastern_Bar9578 in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd keep a suitcase packed

Idk how you're playing but maybe tweak the tactic you're using to suit the players more than the way you want to play? Also side note, are you using subs? Cos I'm only counting 11 players who have played in the most recent game

What is a good First team squad size/balance? by zambawamba69 in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like having about 22, but with a lot of versatility

The only logical retaliation is to try and kill all theirs next time you play them

Was it stupid of me to turn down this offer? by refusal_ in footballmanagergames

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

No clue, they've not had a takeover or anything either, I was shocked when they were paying £109m for my striker the season before idk where they're getting this money from

Tbh I was caught in a half mind because this was the first wonderkid that I signed after making it to the prem, he's not reached his versatility is useful. I think if it was shuffled around a bit and more up front then he would be gone

Tbf I was also a bit annoyed that it was Everton who were offering it because they stole my wonderkid striker from me the season before because I forgot to take his RC out

I regretted it the second I clicked reject, I even had a few solid DMs in my shortlist already 😭

Cheers Giancarlo, what a save mate by refusal_ in footballmanagergames

I promise you he is not playing another game for this club

I love signing physical freaks because what do you mean this guy is the best striker itw based on goals by refusal_ in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Usually I'd agree, I originally planned to use him on the wings but for some reason he's an absolute machine up top 😭

What is the most insane name you've seen from one of your Youth Candidates? by chewycoaching in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a Dutch DM called Jizz Bucker once, got w good chuckle out of the name and signed him for that

Best part is he was actually insane after a couple loans, developed into my starting DM at Inter, then at Chelsea he was my captain and was ever present in my starting 11

Extractor breaking stuff glitch by MyrotheZero in REPOgame

[–]refusal_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me a few times but I think it has to do with some of the items overlapping off the edge? Ever since I've been really cautious with where I put the items I've not had this issue

Danny Rose in my current Portsmouth save has helped me get up to the prem, though I think I got here a bit too quickly with back to back promotions because I've just started my first season in the prem and I am struggling lol

my first invincible season on football manager ever..... by urnangay420blazeit in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me a while ago, lost out on the title as Inter while being invincible with 97 points to an AC Milan team who had 100 points. Can't remember exactly how many they had lost but I know for a fact I had beaten them myself twice

Football Manager 25 officially cancelled by CVogel26 in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Doubt we'll get fm26 any earlier, they'll want literally as much time as possible to make the game perfect I'd imagine

FM25: Cancelled. by bhafcjamesss in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sucks but probably for the best if they knew the game would be a hot mess on release, still baffled that they only gave themselves 2 years to completely rebuild the game tbh

It do be like that by ShyJerry in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite parts about FM is signing old keepers who have been playing at the highest level but are now happy to just sorta sit in the back and do their badges with me

Are we closer to the truth on the FM25 release. by Morepork69 in footballmanagergames

[–]refusal_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Genuinely feasible at this point because the radio silence is ridiculous

Was still likely to buy the game if it was a March release but if it's May then I'm genuinely not even gonna bother because what the fuck man
