Hello.

Yes, annoyingly, this is the same for everyone. This is only the BETA, remember, and it was picked up fairly quickly so I am confident it will be fixed for full release in the coming few days.

RIP Warren Green, our academy manager on Friday.




The lads sure played a blinder away at top side Posh on Saturday, a solid tribute to his memory.

I really don't think the intention from SI is to disable custom graphics. However, you have to remember that a lot of people play FM without modding it up, and a lot of people don't manage in leagues/teams which are licenced. So if you're playing in Italy, for example, without the game being modded up, you'd see the default club and competition logos and the default dark face. So in order that this lack of licenced graphics is not shown up so starkly in these instances (especially when compared to the sleeker and more licenced ubiquitous FIFA graphics), I think SI are moving away from magnifying this by avoiding having to show them. For us modders, you can always download a skin to get these showing after a little while.


All good points, but I don't like it! 😀

Open Steam, go to your Library tab on there. Bottom left it says "Add a Game", select activate a product on steam. Follow the new instructions on the pop up and it will prompt you to enter the code after you agree to stuff etc. Your game should then start downloading.

What are everyone's thoughts on the new match day experience?

I don't mind the layout too much, thought I wish the widgets would remember me changing them and stay that way! The game pauses when you edit the widgets, wish it would do the same when making a sub because I need time to learn where everything is now and what to look at.

The more paranoid part of me thinks they are pushing out all the places custom graphics would go. Goalscorers and other alerts no longer show player faces, there is a cramped scoreboard top left with abbreviated club names that doesn't shows badges or kits. It is worrying because I like looking at these things, hence why I download them! Now there are less and less places they appear.

I know we are still in BETA and hopefully skinners can come in and improve this.

Thoughts?

Neue sortitoutsi Webseite ist aus eurer Sicht vielleicht sehr gut, ABER

1. ich kann mich nirgends mehr einloggen, NUR , wenn ich gezwungen werde.

2. Datenaktualisierungen stehen tagelang auf dem gleichen Datum, mit
null Änderungen ???

das ist für UNS (User) das Leiden mit euerer neuen Seite.

LG, Frank-Rainer Nitsch


Hello, I don't suppose you could post this in English please?

FIFA 98 on the PlayStation.

I doubt I would get much enjoyment out of it now but back then I loved it. Great soundtrack too.

I activated the code through my account on steam so I have the game listed and it just says scheduled for release on November 24th, should I expect another code through my email today?


No, when the BETA is released an "INSTALL" button will appear when you click on Football Manager 21 in your Steam Library.

In some cases you might need to restart Steam to see this (if you already have it open when the BETA drops).

They BETA is meant to be coming out today at some point, no time has been given and that's only if everything goes to plan.

There were some adverts released earlier by mistake saying it was out now, but it isn't.

Any time in the next 12 hours it will hopefully drop!

I now seem to have lost the dark blue bar on the left all together, but still have the big blank space on the right?!

Sorry if this got your hopes up, it has not been released yet!

I reckon it will be out in the coming week beginning 09/11/20 though. Whether or not it will be Monday is a whole other pile of speculation.

Instead of speculating on that though, who will be you team to manage come BETA dropping?

Personally, whilst initially having a sneaky peak at my Blackpool squad, I will probably go for Everton. They seem to have become my BETA team since they started doing this BETA thing at SI, so I should probably keep the tradition going!

First round proper underway today, still no fans but plenty of coverage on the BBC and their website.

Have the smaller teams lost a bit of an advantage thanks to Covid?

Can't believe I was a lurker so long on these forums, always seemed to be more involved in other sites that just didn't last.

Still expecting to see young Matt Neil appear as a manager somewhere someday! He still at Salford anyone know?

Another thing:

When searching in a thread, if the results are more than one page and you try to navigate to another page of those search results, it takes you back to the blank search in thread option again. So you can only see the first page of results.

For example, I went into SS Kit thread and searched "kit" - obviously I get pages of results but if I try to navigate past the first it takes me back to the blank search option.

Sorry for multi replies here, again not an issue but is anyone else confused as hell when looking at thread info page?

I'm so used to this info being the other way around!

Two wins on the trot, albeit against teams in the bottom and in worse form than ourselves.

Could this turn the tide?!

I bought the new Baldur's Gate a month or so ago now and I still haven't gotten around to playing it!

With the impeding launch of FM, or at least the BETA, I'm thinking it might be one of those games that gets bought and sits on the side waiting for its glory.

yep they are pretty boring but as I have felt all along... worst series so far IMO, love the programme perhaps its me or has it gone on too long?? I dont know, as by now I would be rooting for who I wanted to win, now I dont really care shame but it could be the 2020 curse😁


I think it might just be the 2020 curse, hopefully!

Taskmaster is the same too, it is still funny and enjoyable to watch...but it is not the same either. Lost a certain something.
