This is what I mean about match engine not displaying the actual incident correctly. This is my upload a few weeks ago

You realise there's a demo? Try it.

I was not aware, thanks! Will give it a bash.

Bradford Park Avenue have this for £22.99 on eBay.

Anyone playing the FM 2018 Touch? If so, what's it like this year?

I think I read it was delayed this year

That's the tablet version (Out next Friday) - The PC "Touch" version is out.

Actually really enjoying it. Seems maybe a little easy? Came 2nd in a Champion's League group which comprised of Dortmund, Spurs and Zenit and I'm Celtic.

Don't like that when you scout a player it doesn't come up on the news feed, I want the report as soon it's done. I never chose scout the guy for months or whatever, I chose the top option which I can't remember what it is.

Can anyone please confirm if the Touch version comes with the full fat FM2018 or is it a separate purchase?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I originally asked as I've seen comments online saying they received both when buying FM2018?

Sargatanas2511 · 4 Dec 2017 at 22:06

I have both and only bought FM2018. Maybe it was a preorder thing though, I don't know.

Ah ok, that makes sense

Sargatanas2511 · 4 Dec 2017 at 22:49

Don't quote me on it, but there must be a reason I have it if it's separate now.

Space Monkey · 4 Dec 2017 at 23:21

Is this year's game as bad as the reviews say?

Shall I just buy 2017?

Sargatanas2511 · 4 Dec 2017 at 23:45

To be honest I don't really like the whole social aspect of the squad now and I feel like it takes away from the game. Overall I still like it though.

FM17 is still great too so if it's a good amount cheaper I am sure you will be happy with it.

Haven't played FM for a couple of years (FM15 was the last all conquering one out in the Netherlands as PSV Eindhoven), this one seems pretty good so far but I'm taking it slow for before rushing to the judgment that it's amazing

Just received the retail boxed version, and it comes with Touch for free

EDIT: Okay this is my bad

I just re-read the description on Steam for Football Manager 2018 and it includes:

"All purchases of Football Manager 2018 also include a free copy of Football Manager Touch 2018 for PC/Mac and Linux."

So I guess they give you the option to buy Touch separately in case you have no need for the full version...

Sorry for steering you wrong there!

Lol, no worries

Some aspects of the game aren't too accurate. I just won the FA Cup and Europa League with Brentford in the fourth season of the game, which have included 3 top 8 Premier League finishes. I ask the board for a new contract but get told no, because I haven't met their expectations/haven't brought any success to the club...

Anyway, if you've got that cash and our a season or so into the save, then I'd highly recommend buying Gianluca Lapadula. Made an immediate impact after being bought in January during my first season up, and has since been top scorer in each season, and was also European Top Marksman or whatever last season. Really excellent find.

Does anyone know if FM takes advantage of all the extra cores & threads of the AMD Ryzen CPUs?
