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. :v:

October 24th.

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.

I do like the addition of the playing time pathway for signing players, as well as the multi-season plans and goals for the manager. Those are nice touches.

I like how they forced you to use these abominations as a manager photo rather than in the past allowing you to import an actual photo if you wished.

There’s a mod for that you know.

Decided my beta save would be in the MLS. Up until now I've pretty much only ever played FM with League 2 or below English teams.

I have no loving idea what I'm doing in the MLS, and my embarrassment is made worse by me being American :gonk:

It’s impossible. I don’t even bother any more. gently caress Don Garber for ruining that.

We always say "it's your tactics" and that the midseason slump is just teams changing how they play against you in response to your reputation, but then you actually watch your little idiots play and they're just making stupid loving decisions for no reason, against all instruction. There's definitely something funny going on when my AMC has dropped to right back to close down a winger, and my centre halves are banging long balls up towards a centre forward who lives offside.

It’s your tactics. Make them stick to their positions.

The licences are what cost the most and make yearly full price updates essential. They can't afford to sell a single game that would cover 2/3/4 seasons with simple database updates, the Premier League would bleed them dry (as Zebra FC and the mythical country of "Japan" tried to do).

gently caress Juve. Fans will have the mods and fixes out 10 minutes after the game releases.

Is the whole "clubs/FA's cracking down on people using real logos and player photos" thing going to affect the Steam workshop at all, or is the lack of those kinds of mods just down to the game only being officially out for about 12 hours?

Edit: oh drat these things run up to like a dozen GB each, so I guess the Steam workshop is out of the cards. Is there a place to get logo packs that isn't SortItOutSI which requires me to pay them :10bux: if I want to not wait fifty days on slow-rear end free downloads from dodgy mirror sites? Why they don't just put them up as a torrent I have no idea.

FM20 Mobile is actually a nice upgrade from last year's version. The presentation, particularly in matches and the inbox, is a lot closer to the full version of the game than it used to be. Nice to see that they still care after several years without any meaningful changes.

I guess that's where they focused all of their effort this year.

In 19, you were able to set coaching assignments in training for the U23s and U18s. Since they've introduced the Dev Center, I can't find that control any more. Anyone seen it?

The only time I can seem to find it is when I take full control of the player training for the U23 and U18s. So just take control of training, move your coach assignments around, and then delegate your training back to whoever. At least that's what I do.

Seems like a pain but I’ll give it a go. Thanks, Goon.

how does homegrown rules and loans work in FM20?

If I loan out a 17 year old player will he still get to count as club homegrown after the 3 years or does he still have to actually be at the club training?

I'm pretty sure it counts as long as he's under contract to your club.

wtf that's so stupid. Why?

Maybe their real life scouting in the African leagues is so sparse that they can't get decent reads on players and are embarrassed to have them actually used in a live game, because they rolled dice for their stats.

This is basically the system I have been using, it's pretty time consuming - depending on how many nations youth intakes you add to the initial scouting list.
Even if you buy a few duds who only make it to 2 or 2 1/2 stars, I've been selling those guys on for £10-15 million each anyway.

I'm going to need to see the capacity of the Premier League version of the Deva Stadium, please.
