Not played last few iterations as it got too in depth and boring for me
I've never tried the cut down 'touch' version, is that any good?

The touch version is perfect for transport journeys or waiting about, obviously you have less control but it’s still enjoyable/addictive.Not played last few iterations as it got too in depth and boring for me

I would absolutely be interested, what sort of times do you guys normally operate?Currently in an Online save with 3 other boys off Andy Halliday’s Discord server.
We all chose smaller teams to make it more difficult. St Johnstone, Motherwell, Livingston & Dundee Utd are taken. Teams still available are Hamilton, Ross County, Killie, St Mirren.
Anyone interested in that sort of thing?
I bought it last week, lasted about three hours and it just felt like a chore playing it. Haven't went back to it since.
I get they are trying to make it more realistic but it's just too much. Not enjoyable for me at all.
Try and avoid selling team leaders & influential players as they’re more likely to spread their negativity through the squad.Any one got a good method of selling players at the start for a decent price without pissing whole team off?
My advise would be to delegate everything until you are used to the basics. Once you're comfortable with that, start taking back control of things one at a time to see if it's something you want to get involved in or not. Maybe have attribute masking switched off. That means that players attributes show up without the need for scouting.Picked this up yesterday with my new laptop, first version I've played since 2012.
Bloody hell, it's insanely more in depth now. A lot of information to take in with all the mini tutorials from training, scouting section, media etc. I've played for about an hour and I've only played 2 friendlies.
Anyone got any recommendations on things to leave to backroom staff? The training is just far too complex to get involved in, for example.
Unlikely I would say. It happens far too often in the game.On my Rangers save I keep getting messages to ignore takeover rumours etc, does that mean there is a takeover coming or does it always say that?
I can see that being very annoying. Some parts of reality like covid and var should be taken out of the game as it just spoils thingsThe amount of offside VAR goals being chalked off is ridicules, happens pretty much most games in the EPL.
Goals disallowed must be 99.999% v goals allowed after VAR.
I think it needs to have as much authenticity as possible - Covid maybe not so much (although the extra subs being allowed is fun!) but Brexit is a big part of it, and VAR is a huge part of the game now, it has to be there.I can see that being very annoying.

I'm on it via Xbox game pass too. In second season now having went undefeated season 1. The game pissed off Goldson at start of season 2, it told me my captain was Tav and jack was vice captain and if I wanted I could change this but it would piss off whoever I change, I was confused as I thought Goldson should be vice but didn't want to change to him incase it pissed off Jack. Of course it turns out Goldson was vice so he got pissed off. Offer for 20 mill came In so sold himDownloaded this last night, subbed to Xbox Game Pass as i was bored lol.
Love the new layout while games are playing. Feel like i can see whats happening stat wise etc more clearly.
No idea who to buy yet, waiting to see if any bids come in as at least 5 are wanted atm. Im Rangers obviously.
On the Xbox version it only lets me control one team, so far I've only been Rangers so only had VAR in Europe. I didn't find it happen that much tbfThe amount of offside VAR goals being chalked off is ridicules, happens pretty much most games in the EPL.

Can you play against other players mate, and if so does it support cross play? A few of us are bored of WZ etc and looking for another time waster, but are on different platforms.Downloaded this last night, subbed to Xbox Game Pass as i was bored lol.

Iv just fired the PC up just now. If you give me a min I’ll check bud!Can you play against other players mate, and if so does it support cross play? A few of us are bored of WZ etc and looking for another time waster, but are on different platforms.
The touch version is far superior in my opinion . Less bogged down and you can get through a season in around 3 hours .Exactly this. Far too much info to get your head into. I chucked it after a few hours myself.
Can you play this game on console? Will i be able to get it for PS4?Downloaded this last night, subbed to Xbox Game Pass as i was bored lol.

Wondered if that would be the case. Down the years have seen some great games like C&C Red Alert and stuff that just didn't translate well to console. Was the xbox FM21 that intrigued me, but it's sound like my Mac or PC would be better....?Tried the Xbox version on Xbox before i downloaded the full version on PC. Must say, i liked Touch on the Switch but the Xbox version seems clunky as %^*&. The only way i can think to describe it lol. Its all too big and in your face.
Not PS4 mate. Xbox has its own console version but i didnt like it.Can you play this game on console? Will i be able to get it for PS4?
100% better on PC imo.Wondered if that would be the case. Down the years have seen some great games like C&C Red Alert and stuff that just didn't translate well to console. Was the xbox FM21 that intrigued me, but it's sound like my Mac or PC would be better....?
Cheers pal. Will take a look.100% better on PC imo.
Im loaded up on PC and you can play online using the game pass version. Its the full game so thought you could.
Unsure if you can play online on the Xbox edition.
Like folk have said, the Touch version is good for people who dont like the full in depth game.I used to love it years ago but for me it just got too in depth and it sacrificed fun for realism. I get some love that but it just couldn’t hold my attention because of it.
Same. I should've bought it at the start of this latest lockdown, not towards the end!Like folk have said, the Touch version is good for people who dont like the full in depth game.
Iv been putting off getting this game since its release because i get lost in it. See you at Christmas
We’ve got an SPFL network with 5 of us that we’ve made to season 2. We’re on most nights (midweek) - I took St J to 3rd in season one@mathers1 any online games going? Haha
Haha, how does that work then? Just the same as drafts but longer?We’ve got an SPFL network with 5 of us that we’ve made to season 2. We’re on most nights (midweek) - I took St J to 3rd in season one
Only rule is nobody can take Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen off the bat.
We played through a season in a few weeks but that was playing a couple hours most midweek nights.Haha, how does that work then? Just the same as drafts but longer?
Not sure i can commit to something with amount of game tine with Warzone to play too haha.
I never manage to complete that many seasons on my own, never mind online! Haha.We played through a season in a few weeks but that was playing a couple hours most midweek nights.
I’d do a draft if that suited folk better. I find the single player saves become boring after about 5-7 seasons
I’d hate to say yes and then be a bit flakey on it mate and let folk down. I have another bunch of weirdos I do I bit of gaming with and probably spend too much time on it as it is.I would be keen to start a diff network game if folk are keen. It’s bad enough finding time all 5 of us can play the SPFL one we made a rule if 50% of players are available we play regardless.
Maybe a lowly EPL teams one or even Championship - if you’re game @AllyRFC & @TimzRFudz let us know & we’ll sort something.
Yes, they need to sort the algorithm out - although in the EPL, decisions are pretty shocking most of the time!No denying it needs to be in the game but I would say about 20 of my goals this season have been disallowed on VAR. To make it more believable they need to turn the frequency down and also make goals stand, when it goes to VAR in the game you know its 100% going to chalked off.
I think it's down to VAR not being decision making in game. It's just a little animation tagged on to the already fixed decisions. So I've read elsewhere anyway.No denying it needs to be in the game but I would say about 20 of my goals this season have been disallowed on VAR.

Scott Wright is a very decent sub.Absolutely battering the SPFL teams so far with a gegenpress lol.
Scott Wright is like some kind of super sub so far too!

Kennedy and Gilmour were like greased lightning earlier on for me, no idea what their stats are though.The match engine and the algorithm’s need sorting big time, I had Mbappe struggling to catch Kroos running down the touchline, Mbappe could catch him walking in real life.
