Should be interesting.
Looks like they've actually made some pretty cool changes, after I banged on about them never making the changes. That bunch of bastards.
Its getting more and more complex by the year. I hope that the dynamic thing won't be as annoying as the multiple choice 'interviewer' spam which occur every beginning/end of the game.
Any deals on this?
Guy is annoying as f*ck but scouting looks cool.
There was a Steam/SEGA Store one with 25% off that ended October 9. That was dependent on you having FM17 in your Steam library.
My laptop's on it's last legs. If I want this I'll have to cough up for a suitable laptop that'll run it fine. Any recommendations?
Who is this skinny Phil Jones lookalike in the videos?
Haven’t had a football manager for a few years, don’t think my laptop could handle this.

If you want it fairly early at a good price, just visit Hot UK Deals every day after release. Lots of lower league clubs get given copies to sell through their club shops and some sell them off relatively cheaply. I've bought my last couple like this for sub £20.
Beta is out now apparently!
Cheapest place for key that will allow access to the beta please...
It might be because my computer is crap but, right now in my match engine the players are a bunch of shadows.
I did the match engine....then straight back to 2d. 2 year gap.....and still it's just a data update for me more or less.
Started with United as always, signed Tierney for left back, trying to sell Shaw, Fellaini, Smalling, Young. Shaw's injured so that's hard though. No idea who to go for for the right wing too. Only 2 signings I feel like I need to make, but I guess Mkhitaryan can do for now. Might try for Brandt depending on what the scouts say.
Edit: Sold Darmian, Fellaini, Smalling, Young. Bought Tierney, Seri, Malcom for left back, cm and rw.

Is there a way to watch the game on split view? My usual set up was a standard 2d classic on the left side of the split view and having match stats on the right. Wasn't a fan of the full screen but not sure if I can do it on this one.
It's a huge difference to 2017, biggest difference since 11/12
De Gea is criminally underrated! 15 in shot stopping?!

Rashford is very underrated too, 8 in corners, 14 in dribbling, 9 in vision, 12 in teamwork
Thinking 3-4-3 might be the way to go for my AC side, I was playing
Donnarumma
Musacchio Bonucci Romagnoli
Calabria Locatelli Rodriguez
Kessie Hakan
Silva Cutrone
But after 1-1 draws to Bordeaux and Alessandia, getting smashed 4-0 away to Chelsea. I was 0-0 with Aberdeen after 60 min before bringing on Suso and Kalinic. Suso went to RW Hakan to LW. Won 3-0 Suso Kessie and Kalinic with the goals.
Just the 1 signing Justin Kluivert for 9,75m
I wish there’s a way for him not to waste 23m on Kalinic and Borini for next season, also not to get rid of Niang. Thanks Montella

Cant wait to fire this up tonight. I'm going to start with my usual...Real Madrid to get used to the tactics etc before starting a proper save with Spurs or Everton.
@Anyone, I never got around to pre-ordering this, but if I purchase it today can I get the Beta version? Thanks.
What's it like nowadays?
I loved it up until FM2012, then I got FM13 and it was just way OTT. Too focused on tactics and too easy to lose unless you were Pochettino himself. I briefly played 14 too and much the same.
Is it still really dependant on tactics? I like the games more for picking teams, rotating my squad, buying players etc. I don't care for tactics.

The match UI seems to be a complete clusterfeck. It feels like one of those stream sites where you are trying to close 5 windows just to see the action, there's shite spammed everywhere on the screen, what's wrong with last years small box just showing player energy levels?
They also removed the better 2D mode from previous years, we are now left with 2D Classic which sucks balls the other 2D mode was waaay better and the mode I've been using on FM ever since they added it.
First impressions from a guy who's been playing since Championship Manager days (probably close to 17 years) its a complete mess. The 3D engine Is a disaster again, how anybody can play 3D and get emerged is beyond me the animations make it completely unplayable.
These fecks have been living on their reputation for years now, they have no competition so just release absolute trash every year. Minimum game improvements or new features coupled with a UI that's progressively getting worse year in year out /sigh.

Yep, you can dl the game after you pre-order the game on steam.
It all started so well
How do I play the beta?
Buy the game from a Sega affiliate to get it cheap
Play him.....and you might notice, he's kinda not underrated.
Oh right I already purchased it a few months ago so I'm installing now. Nice.
Can we add facepacks and logos and stuff to the beta and will it carry over to the full game?
Should be able to, just make a graphics folder in the football manager 2018 one in documents and it should work. Haven't tried yet but the folder is there.
Why did you pre-order this one then?
Some times FM scouts just take the piss. Don't think there is a better RB than this guy.
Loaning players out seems frustrating. I've had 12 offers for Mitchell, and I'm having to go into each one individually to see what game time they're offering, and when I back out of that offer, it takes me to the overall screen again (i.e. not his loan offers). I'm going to be stuck here forever with some of these players.
I cannot get rid of Ashley Young for the life of me.
