******* Official Football Manager 2015 Thread *******

lol.. He's always getting injured in my saves anyway. But maybe 5-6 months is excessive :D

Out of interest have they released the editor with the beta? If so, you can remove his injuries in one click ;)
 
Ah what a nice surprise, thought this was going to be out tomorrow.

Not sure the editor is available yet, just tried to go into the download section and couldn't access it.
 
Just a word of warning for those first playing. Make sure you customise your database if you want the best experience. I've discovered that if you just use the recommended setup you have minimal players in the database. Which could also explain why it appears so snappy. I had 18,000 players selected initially using the same settings I had in 14. After a database import (from 14) I now have 101,000 selected, which is what I would expect.
 
Right, just seen you guys mentioning bets is available to download, looks like a great end to my week off. Downloading now :)

I always select a bunch of nations.
Then make sure all their leagues are available.
Then set it to a large DB.
Got about 97K in my game.

As far as speed goes, feels perfect.
The new ME is hilarious to watch, Adomah looks like a black clay model with no neck.

Won my first match 4-1 :) (In the Championship)

Would that not just put all the players you had in FM14 in FM15 with all old stats etc? Even after a ridiculous amount of hours in FM I still don't full understand the database side of it, I just ticked all countries bar 4-5 with large database and it was about 120k players?

Not too keen on the tactics interface page, I feel like I can't see what I need to see straight away like FM14 but I guess I'll get used to it.

The interface is going to take a whole load of time. It feels natural but I don't like it. I also don't like the black - I prefer a white background. Plus I'm not sure how all the cutout face packs etc will work I guess I'll try that next. There are once again a LOT of faces missing.

I've only imported the database setting not the players. So it won't import any players, just the settings for the advanced database. I just play with England and Scotland, that's it. But I use the advanced database to select 100,000+ players. I've found this much faster in-game.

My first, very early impression is that it's very good. The interface is definitely a contentious topic however. I can see why they've implemented it, but at the moment it lacks a little polish. The emails in your inbox are awkward on the eye and the layout is taking some adapting to. But it is reasonably intuitive, which is a good thing. I'm sure it will improve over the coming weeks.

There is definitely more depth to the game this year from what I've seen so far and the ME does seem improved. I've seen all manner of shots and different animations which I'm liking a lot. I have seen one oddity with my GK who dropped a ball and left it at his feet for a few seconds before the opposing striker scored. But this could be down to a beta bug, or just a crap GK.
