rhysbeck Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I always manage Derby on FM, simply don't have the time to start any alt saves of other clubs The new/redesigned team analysis page is fantastic (the screen showing the pros n cons of your team; similar layout to a scout report) Barely wrapped up preseason and the social feed is getting under my skin already though... The 7.0.2 update is just out now for anyone who has already been running the beta; so far the processing and loading times seem to be much smoother/snappier than '16 which is a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broderick Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Anyone else getting really high scoring games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 One thing I think it's been missing for years now is the drag & drop map of where you want your players to be positioned in defense & attack. Use to love flogging my players to death by having them lined up on either box depending which way the ball was going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I haven't played it for years, but would like to start up again. What's the best way in, my tablet is too old for touch (Ipad 2), and the laptop is a bog standard £400 one, so probably not up to it. Don't mind spending a bit on hardware, any recommendations?

Ah no sorry Macbook Pro here Planning to buy something new as soon as I have time to sit down and look over specs n details n stuff. For now my mid-2010 veteran mbp still handles an impressive number of leagues loaded , processing is still good, etc. Can't believe it still puts up with all the multitasking stuff I make it do daily and hasn't died on me yet! Bought it a new SSD and 16gb mem last year after it really began to struggle with all the FM graphics I kept adding and it's given it a new lease on life. The game loads twice as fast now and I regret not buying new parts sooner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The last one I played was the 02-03 season I think. Played 95 onwards played many many hours during those games with my mates. Didn't play after the 02-03 started to get boring and everyone was easy even if you start from a bad team (Guess it's to keep your interest). Once you get to a certain point you'd 'Go on holiday' for about 4-5 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdave85 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 My last one was FM13, took Newport County to League 1, then I applied for the vacant DCFC position as they were relegation fodder from the PL. Saved us, next season missed out on the Europa League on last day of that season, season after got us into the Europa League places, but resigned at the beginning of the next season as the board wouldn't provide me extra transfer funds or widen my scouting pool outside of Europe (It was still hard to attract any decent players to Derby, stature wasn't high enough).

Bridgford Ram Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 This may make me the worst FM player ever but since the Championship Manager Amiga games - where it seemed impossible not to win leagues I have probably only had 9 or 10 long term games where I have been successful spanning 20 years and probably 10 or so editions of the game. The demo of the last version put me off with the setting up of the manager - both visually and skills wise. It seemed to me that the ingame decisions you make should decide your manager skills rather than distributing a set number of points across categories.

Gypsy Ram Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 So what's the final verdict on FM 17? Worth downloading/buying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a 3-4-1-2 formation. Sacked Phillips and bought in Scholes. Only signed one player, a Slovakian from Stoke called Teixeira. Paid £850k for him and he's played every league game and ave rating is about 7.88. I'm also top of the league having won all but one league game (drew Barnsley away). Have beaten Burton, Preston, Brighton, Villa, and a couple of EFL cup games too. But yeah, Mel Morris thinks my ONLY signing was bad financially! Uncle Mel you maniac, you let Clement spunk over £3m on Blackmen, but criticise me for £850k! I've let Christie go on loan to QPR for about £300k a month (plus wages). I turned down a crap Burnley bid for Johnson and he spat his dummy. But still getting used to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that was an issue in all the others I played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews I have read that are negative are mainly players of FM16 not seeing the benefits of the new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
