Someone in the hukd thread said they ordered before your time and they've had a refund like most who ordered? Hopefully yours will come through?

Ah sorry bud, I'll enjoy it for the both of us

Smyth's have it for £19.99 but only select stores have it in stock at the moment?

fm14 is still surprisingly playable

There's always CM 01/02

That was still the best version imo

I caved in but only as I found a brand new boxed copy for £16 delivered, so less of a risk, plus the SI forums seem split on whether they like it or not, so gonna give this a go. Will feedback how it goes

I don't think it's split as such, I think there's just some people whom are heavily defensive.
When you've got moderators basically advocating that you exploit the broken ME then there's a problem.

I've stopped playing and gone back to FM18 and FM19 because I find FM20 unplayable in its current state.

EDIT : If seeing this more times than you see your strikers score doesn't bother you then you might be okay ; https://community.sigames.com/topic...ikers-in-box/?do=findComment&comment=12220175

If that happens all the time then I think I'll go back to '19 lol

So I am probably one of the biggest fans of the FM series. Played everyone since the original. Since I started using Steam which was FM 2011 properly, my average hours on the FM series are about 1700 hours per version. I haven't touched FM20 in a month nearly. It is, in my opinion, the worst ME I can remember.

I can win, there isn't an issue there, but as someone else said it is just long balls over the top, regardless of what your TI's and PI's are the players will launch laser guided balls over the top. The striker will miss 95% of the 1v1's that result from these, but it is just boring repetitive football. I feel I have no influence on the match at all.

The rest of the game is good, like the club vision this year. But the ME is the core of the product and it is broken. Sadly.

Has anyone tried an online game of CM?

Mark1989 · 14 Jan 2020 at 16:30

I'm still playing 19, everything I seem to read about this version screams skip it

Andybtsn · 14 Jan 2020 at 16:51

I might load up 19 again, barely played it

233 · 19 Jan 2020 at 12:34

any changes to report or is it still a festering dog turd of a version this year?

davejh666 · 19 Jan 2020 at 14:22

It seems better on the beta patch of the game, but I have only played a handful of games to be honest.

tamzzy · 24 Jan 2020 at 00:09

@Space Monkey so how'd you find FM20?
