@Space Monkey so how'd you find FM20?

Confession time, sold it, I made the mistake of reading the SI forums and couldn't bring myself to install it

I've installed '19 so that'll do for now.

Been a long time, but is '14 a good year?

This is currently £ 20.99 on cdkeys. Can anyone beat that?

FM19 is £15, and until SI Games fix the match engine on FM20, it is a better game.

I have 19. Was waiting for a deal to get this one.

I haven't come across any of the issues that are reported, loving FM20. Prefer it to 19 definitely.

The game is good, the core is better than 19 (I play FM touch) but this match engine is atrocious.

SI has been half arsing it for years now but alternatives exist

What alternatives?

I'm guessing he means previous versions of FM?

Yeah, didn't think of that. I have gone back to FM17 for now when I do play. The ME on it is just far better than any of the previous 3 versions, I just don't understand how SI have gone down the path they have with FM and got it so badly wrong.

Sorry that's a typo.

No alternatives exist - unless you play older ones with self imposed challenges or restrictions.

Matty8787 · 30 Jan 2020 at 15:47

The ME on the beta is supposed to be a ton better than the current released version.

llamadal · 30 Jan 2020 at 19:30

Yeah, its only available on main game and not touch though.

I am going to disagree to be honest. They have fixed some things but fundamentally I believe the ME is really flawed. If you want to play attacking or positive mentality you will be fine, anything else you can pretty much forget.

Worse FM I can remember.

I have not actually tried it, just going off things I have read.

I really wish they would re-design from the groun up, would be better for everybody concerned.

Yes, that's exactly what they need to do. Scrap the current Football manager and build a completely new football management simulation.
