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?

Agreed. There are certain mods that I simply can’t get into the game without. We have the faces, backgrounds, kits and logos- just need a decent skin like Flut.

The 1999 UEFA Champions League final. Still brings a tear to my eye

Me too, it was awful.

At least Ole is at the wheel making amends to the football world

Are your static ads showing on the beta? Mine are not, but the video ads are.

I use the banners plus the video ads, all the banners, flags and scarves are showing

Seem to be getting a lot of movember ads, but only on a pre season tour of Czech Republic so that may explain that.
One issue I have is pitch looks quite dark green on my HD monitor

Can’t complain, we used to get a time limited demo, only week and half to wait

Indeed. They have never washed up by hand, had to walk to the tv to change channel or anything.

They have no concept of the physical exertion of Daley Thompson’s Decathlon

My eldest took me to the Cambridge computer museum, a real throwback to happy times, they have original machines and games. SWOS on the Amiga etc

Indeed. I was at school mid 80s we played subbuteo loads, even the cricket and rugby versions

My kids think it’s boring, if it doesn’t cost £50 a game with 3D motion capture on PS4 they aren’t interested.

I still play cm 01/02 every now and again, in my opinion the best, simplest, most immersive game ever

outrageous ...I am with you

still got a few sets in the attic but did buy a couple of sets plus goals and pitch in a salvation army shop here in NZ cost me under£10 bargain

In Leeds in the mid 80s there was a shop that sold loads of subbuteo stuff, even had a hooligan pack to recreate pitch invasions / riots-not uncommon at elland road in the day

Keep up the excellent work guys.

We should use the 2 wks to test the game and get ready for the updates that make the game playable.

This is an essential file. Keep it up chaps

I have just repatched the FMT20 on the iPad Air 4 with 24Gb of files (faces, kits, logos, trophies and stadiums) it took about 30 mins to load with the circle going around.

If anyone is interested on the packs I used. Just make sure you extract them in the folder structure.
