So, I'm about to finally boot up the demo/beta for the first time. How is it so far in your opinion? Any game breakers that need changing before full release? Any super tactics, like last season's three strikers? Any blatantly over/under rated players?

So far I like a lot of the new additions to the game. The only problem I've come across is the games themselves.

The majority of the games I've played so far have seemingly unrealistic results.

4-0
2-5
5-1
0-4

Engine is a bit clunky, players running into each other, strange passing, strange movements around the ball and off it. Once the first goal goes in, it becomes a bit of a goal fest; AI results seem fairly normal though.

I'm hoping it's a bug somewhere and it gets fixed although I've seen other posts where people are saying the opposite and they can't seem to find a goal anywhere.

Abdou Harroui from Sparta Rotterdam has very bad stats. He played every match this season so far en was one of the best players.

Not played a fixture yet!

It's annoying now when offering players out on loan that when clubs make offers it doesn't show on the main screen what playing time they intend - i.e. first team, rotation, etc and you have to go into each offer to see this!

Probably sticking with FMT this year, so much less bother to play. Finished season 1 and did ok.

@VP. I've never really been sure what the difference is? I am tempted to try FMT this year due to reduced available time but don't want to lesson the experience by cutting stuff out.

Newcastle having £20m+ to spend in the first window is something I didn't see coming

Best spend it whilst I can!

Spend it before Ashley takes £10 million out.

The match engine is the same as the full game, but things like press interviews, training etc are massively reduced, I much prefer it to the full game now as like yourself I've not the time anymore.

Just decided to spend £94m on Eric Dier because, you know, he's English.

I hear youth development isn't as good though?

Does the World Cup for 2022 still get moved away from Qatar? Or will we finally see a winter World Cup? Anybody played that far yet?

Possibly though I've had a great 16 yo come through end of first season.

Still moved, to Australia in mine. Adding a winter WC would be a massive task for club competitions in game especially as we've yet to ever see one in real life.

Has anyone noticed players take "hissy fits" quite easily on this years game or just me?

So far in 6 months with Manchester City I've already upset Gundogan (who I ended up selling to Arsenal for £73m), Gabriel Jesus (currently rotting in the U23's) and most recently Sergio Aguero decided to have a "temper tantrum" because I had the audacity to criticise his poor training - it doesn't help that the latter hasn't been scoring regularly so he's been criticised in the past for that as well but apart from that I'm currently second in the Premier League and in the final of the League Cup against Wolves.

Got this wonderkid joining at the end of the season, may have been on FM18 but I recognise him.

It doesn't count as a "top domestic cup" (going by the Steam achievements) but I've still won my first trophy as Manchester City boss, and in dominating fashion as well.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/L7xZj5HslGconvEPhN1CvW0i5uJou2TkWmglNczo.jpg

Well it's actually my second trophy of the season after winning the Community Shield but that's a glorified friendly so. . .

Phew, at least it's not down to my bad management then. The 'wonderkid' photo doesn't work dude.

Loving the beta. The purple is growing on me. Love the training center adds a whole new dynamic to the game for me. Match engine I don't really see much difference, I mostly play in 2d but sometimes use the 3D sand it's more of the same.

Hey guys, a technical question:

does anyone have a problem with saving/importing your tactics, views, training schedules etc.? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I had the same problem with FM18 aswell.

Basically, I make a tactic/training schedule etc., click Export and name it something and I get thishttps://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Rel4Vc7eo3LiqATB9DFX2Z4isvn8LVcM5JidDFUz.png error. It still creates the file, altough unless I manually add the extension like .fmf it creates a blank file with no extension.

Then when I load a different save and try to load said tactic/training schedule etc., I get thishttps://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Yuj2sIzZnggzMsPMtoZtpvIOus4KSNVnyXLvMIIO.png error and can't load it.

But when I download a tactic from here or fmscout or whatever, it can be loaded perfectly fine so I think it's some bug with the extensions but really don't know what to do with it. Also saving/exporting to cloud just doesn't work at all.

Anyone had a similar issue and was able to fix it? Thanks

You can go into schedule and click on each game individually, like so:

Brilliant that is a start for me. Do they appear in a list anywhere to compare against other teams in the league?

It used to be possible, although I've not played since FM08.

Thanks

If you mean as in average attendance then:

Click on the league table
Stats
Team Detailed
Scroll down to Attendances


That will then tell you what your average attendance is throughout the campaign and compared to the other teams, it will also tell you how many sellouts you've had throughout the season and a few other bits and bobs as well.

Okay, I've tried Touch and I think for the moment it is just not for me. I prefer full fat for now!

Found an annoying thing, my "Home" page does not remember the changes I make to it. So everytime I come back to the game it is all the default choices again. Anyone else?

My West Ham game just crashed when I went to make a sub, and I lost everything I had done today (thought I had saved it earlier but guess not).

Probably won't play now until release!

So....in preparation Friday I have created & saved my chosen team's;

* Player & Staff shortlists
* Tactic & Set-pieces
* Training regimes
* Downloaded all graphic packs
* Licenses fix (although will download the new one)

What am I missing?

Anyone else prep like this on the Beta (basically using it as a sandbox) and then stop playing so you can start afresh on game launch? Starting to get proper excited
