The Night Thread Mk. IX - Off Topic - FM24/25 Update

The incident occurred on the morning of July 29, when a man, surnamed Li, was about to board China Southern Airlines flight 345 to Beijing, Guangzhou Daily reported. As Li passed through airport security, X-ray screening machines detected a few “odd protrusions” sticking out of a KFC burger that the man had packed in his bag.
Airport staff determined that the protrusions looked suspiciously like turtle limbs, and asked to inspect Li’s luggage.
“There’s no turtle in there, just a hamburger,” Li reportedly insisted. “There’s nothing special to see inside.”

Turtles in a hamburger why not?

The best match engine they've ever had is the main reason I like it.

The match engine is one of my biggest gripes. It's just not for me, none of my tactics that had worked for the past 5 years do now and there seems to be too much emphasis on shouts as well. I'm sure I could get to gripes with it, but I don't feel like I have the time or inclination to do it.

I'm not going to go to the extent I would have when I was younger and say that 13 is a bad game, I just think SI's ongoing attempts to make it as much of a simulation of being a real manager as possible have probably now just crossed the threashold for me and I don't find it as enjoyable anymore.

Classic seems too watered down to hold the attention, either.

Oh and I use no shouts whatsoever and I'm successful.

Really? I don't use any shouts most of the time unless there is something obviously wrong with the way my team is playing, I find that the simpler you make things the better the results.

Yeah I read through that the other day and I think all it really did was to confirm that I'd have to put more time in than I've got at the minute to make a fist at FM13.

I never got into FM13, my least favourite of the series. There's no fun to it anymore.

I've just been playing CM 01/02 with the 12/13 update, so much more fun.
