I have got mine pre-ordered (well got it for free as I am part of a discord group) and I have my beta save already planned out.

 

[boydsno1]

Keeen.

Have stopped playing 18 lately with this coming.

As I said in the other thread, it seems like despite the long list of new "features" only 3 things have really changed - all purple (which is skin-able anyway), some new areas of tactics (lines of engagement and dictating what the team should do in with the ball, without it and in transition) and training.

Most of the other changes just appear to be moving previously present things around so that they are now in focus

While the changes to tactics and training do appear to be quite good, the rest doesn't excite me enough to buy

[Magma]

well i was going to get it sometime anyways so meh

game looks beautiful though.

I reckon they've done well. Made things way easier for casual fans but if you want to tinker you still can. Interface is very crisp. Liking the customization of training and the ratings.

Signed Tierney, de Ligt and Gomez from Atalanta.
Tierney doing very well, de Ligt probably will replace Mustafi soon enough.
Laca started slow but is picking up.

Cruyff14 Emile Smith-Rowe looks pretty good at the start.
Wish I could see the PA's lol.

 

[RickSanchez]

Rogic has insane stats, just so slow.

My FM days are over unfortunately. Laptop runs at a snail's pace when attempting to play and browse.

And I barely use my PC anymore.

Good stuff. How's Torreira?

This saddens me so much, you're essentially my FM boyfriend.

Anyone able to post a screen shot of Xadas and Trincao from Braga?

 

[Magma]

check out arzani if you want to smile.

Is it worth getting if I'm still in a decent FM18 save? Usually skip the odd years

I looked them up but I don't have the right databases on.

I'm liking this years version, lots of tactical and training input if you are into that.

I'm simply a buy and sell man though.

Very hard selling people though, I only sold Rob Holding, offered a bunch of players at a big cut rate but no takers.

 

[drd23]

Holy s**t is that purple ugly when its next to red

No problem.
Should hopefully pick it up in the next few days.

Where's the cheapest place you guys have seen it?

I usually buy it from fmscout.com

Would recommend buying it, my favourite since 15 personally.

I assume there is a FM Classic/Touch version again?

My days of playing the full version are well and truly over so have just played FM Classic the last few years.
