And I suppose supports sortitout. Humble also has it at 10% off at the moment (for another day and a half). I think if you're a Humble Monthly subscriber you'd get another 10% on top of that which would be the current cheapest option I think. https://isthereanydeal.com/game/footballmanagerii0ii0/info/

When does the beta usually go live? I assume there's no day one launch patch or anything that will break a save started in beta, right? I'm still on my FM16 save though and doing just fine with it... maybe I won't upgrade.

SI have announced some of the features they've added for this year. https://twitter.com/FootballManager/status/1174673867832549377 Miles Jacobsen has been saying the main thrust of their improvements is for long career managers, so things like setting out multi-season plans and ambitions, how to manage developing players better and how to course the individual player's career better. I don't really see any of these as likely to fall down at their first implementation. The one that's likely to have issues is the "improved" back room staff: stuff like suggesting teams. rear end Mans are useless, so now they can be useless in suggesting the line up for the team. There's also improvements to the player 3D models, the manager model and stadiums. These mostly seem like decent changes to me, subtle nudges in the game in the direction it was going already rather than massive features. I might be tempted to get it and try my edited database sugar daddy no drinking team again (I can move players from lower-ish leagues to my team, but only if they're not old enough to drink.) Then it's a case of developing them as you rise through the leagues. I'm trying it in a FM18 save and it's the personalities all demanding different stuff that's causing the problems.

Those are nice touches.

I'm very excited for the improved graphics to have some sort of memory leak and require insane specs to actually run properly despite still looking worse than FIFA 94

i legit laughed out loud for like 20 seconds at the first screenshot of the edit manager appearance mode, it was like something from the late 90s but like a late 90s game you would find in a bin at the supermarket

The best solution is using the weird offbrand facegen system that uses your real photo and superimposes it insanely badly onto one of the misshapen lumps of clay they use as a 3D manager model

Almost every year I really enjoy the beta, then the release day patch inexplicably makes the match engine so much worse.

Hope you like - Constant crossfield passes - Narrow defences - Unmakred attacking fullbacks - No through passes - No dribbling past players - Offsides - Late offside flags - Lethal long balls ... - And now the flag's gone up. Seriously taking the piss with the late offside flags.

 Not quite sure why I keep buying it every year at this point - looking at my steam play times, FM2014 was the last version I really enjoyed. They need some competition from a proper manager game, time to break out

Unmarked full/wingbacks and constant surgically precise 45 yard crosses have been a thing since like 16, the rest of it sounds new though

That one was sat on my desk after a sudden bout of nostalgia recently, unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to jump through the hoops to get it working. I think CM 95/96 was the first Champ Manager game I bought, the leagues were individual disks - started with the Dutch/Belgian leagues and then eventually bought the Italian one a couple months later. 96/97 had all the major leagues on one install disk as far as I can remember. I shudder to think how many hours I've sunk into these dumb games since then

The code of conduct thing things looks like a nice little addition, instead of having to manage every single fine/suspension. Unless the players still have a strop at their automated fines.

I didn't get FM19, and it was probably changed there, but the interface that comes to your inbox for playing your first team squad in underage matches is a big bad change. I liked being able to see who I had selected for my next match, and then make anyone who needed match sharpness available to the reserves. The new way doesn't seem to show that, and what it does show (via extra clicks to even see your players) isn't what's needed.

The new way doesn't seem to show that, and what it does show (via extra clicks to even see your players) isn't what's needed. I think that is new and I like that I can force my peons to select a certain player in a specific position and role. But it does get a bit awkward sometimes when the player isn't being suggested by your assistant, you have to add them manually from the squad screen and then place them. For all the faults of the match engine I'm actually enjoying my save quite a bit. Helps to play as a lower league team of garbagemen.

I've started with a team in the first division of Ireland, from near enough to me. They're predicted to come last in a division you can't be relegated from. The board expects us to come last. The board's biggest concern is the morale of the team, the bleeding hearts. I will say, coming from FM18, they seem to have done quite well in making poo poo teams play more believably poo poo. It feels less like the match engine throwing in unbelievable mistakes amidst decent play (like chess computers playing perfectly but making two or three huge blunders as a sop to its supposed human level.) I actually believe this is a team of wastemen who couldn't kick a candy cigarette habit. This could be the match engine just being awful (including at higher levels) but to me it seems bad teams play badly in a believable manner when looking at people streaming quality teams playing well. Of course the team play puke football isn't making me too enthusiastic about the save (especially with there seeming to be no way to progress the team,) but I'll tough it out.

Am I going mad or can I not find the button to create a new scouting assignment in FM2020? It's not on the assignments screen where it was in FM19...
