I've got face pack & logos working, not been worried about kits yet. I'm using the metallic logo pack and they're working fine. https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/style/3/metallic-logos EDIT: One thing I still hate. When you have press interviews. "Why isn't David De Gea playing today?" Because it is a cup tie and Romero plays those you twats!

I've started as Manchester United as per usual for my first game. So far it seems the board steps in more than previous games. Out:- Nemanja Matic to Leicester for 14.5M Ashley Young to Al-Ahli for 3.6M Anthony Elanga to Sheffield United for 375K with a buyback clause Phil Jones on loan to Brighton at 300K/month plus an optional fee of 18M Marcos Rojo on loan to Wolves plus an optional fee of 10.5M (board rejected a transfer bid lower than this) Angel Gomes on loan to Stoke James Garner on loan to Cardiff Brandon Williams on loan to Bolton Tahith Chong on loan to Hearts Dylan Levitt on loan to Burton Albion Diogo Dalot on loan to Newcastle In:- Moussa Dembele from Lyon for 21.5M Douglas Costa from Juventus for 59M Valon Berisha from Lazio for 8.5M Juninho Bacuna from Huddersfield for 8M + loaned back for the season Fabio Coentrao for free after impressing on trial and needing backup at left back with Young leaving and Brandon Williams out on loan Sticking to a fairly stock standard attacking Gegenpress 4-2-3-1 Wide / balanced Gegenpress 4-1-2-3 Wide Goalkeeper (Defend):- De Gea / Romero / Grant Right Wing Back (Attack):- Wan-Bissaka / Fosu-Mensah / Laird Ball Playing Defender (Cover):- Lindelof / Tuanzebe Ball Playing Defender (Defend): - Maguire / Bailly Left Wing Back (Support):- Shaw / Coentrao Centre Midfield Right - Ball Winning Midfielder (Defend):- McTominay / Fred Centre Midfield Left - Mezalla (Support):- Pogba / Berisha Right Wing - Inverted Winger (Attack):- Douglas Costa / Lingard Central Attacking Midfield - Advance Playmaker (Support):- Mata / Andreas Left Wing - Inside Forward (Attack):- Rashford / James Striker - Advance Forward (Attack):- Martial / Dembele / Greenwood Fred has BWM as his weakest of all possible roles in MC but I'm trying to train him up, so for now he is second fiddle to McTominay. If I switch to having a DM Fred goes back there and the midfield three is Pogba / McTominay / Fred. Kind of followed the game's advice in loaning out players as it seems to promise better development than past years (but we'll see). Fosu-Mensah starts injured so Laird is the backup at RB at the moment and Fosu-Mensah, Lingard and Andreas will be used in multiple positions as needed. Brought Berisha in as there was nobody to play as a mezzala when Pogba's rested (Fred technically could do it but I want him trained up as a BWM or shipped out and replaced. Have 8.15M transfer money left (started with 100M) and around 100K wages, in January will probably look at another central defender. And hope to God that Smalling, Jones, Sanchez and Rojo are all bought by their loaning clubs. If I get a sufficient offer for Martial I'll probably let him go, too, even though he's performing fine, I would like the money.

You'll be right.

This! There's been a bunch of times already when I've gone "hmm who am I gonna side with" and had to actually rationally think about what effect my choice will make and if will there be an option to make both sides happy or not. My build has points put mainly into dialogue, hacking/lockpicking and long range guns. I'm playing him as a sort of chaotic good character. Good at the heart of it but I've killed people that I decided needed killing.

Apparently you can kill all but 1 character in the game (I haven't looked at who) and the universe will adapt around you, as well, so that's cool. It really feels like what you do makes a difference. For example I did a quest that had two possible outcomes and it ended badly for one group, however, I then got the chance to fix that situation and make everyone happier. The combat style feels like a mix between Fallout and Borderlands (though not as frantic as Borderlands), and my only real gripe so far is that weapons seem to be a bit under-powered. I've put points into my gun skills and even getting some good guns they don't seem to be keeping up with the level of enemies and it's been lucky I've had my companions to help out. I think I maybe need to mod them more or buy better mods. But besides that minor gripe this is a really great game.

So I think we are in for some cool easter eggs because one time when I got on my ship...

Yeah I've only made it to the first town and getting my first bunch of quests but the characters seem cool and there's not been any bad acting yet. Art style is good, too. I enjoy the slow-time mechanic as an alternative to VATS, too. EDIT: After a few hours - this game is good. I have no regrets buying it.

Mine is still downloading! 😭 Would you say the writing is on par with New Vegas etc?

Yeah my bad. I picked it up today on PS4 after watching some reviews it looked really good and seemed basically like New Vegas in space so I was sold. 8.5GB first day patch, though.

Has anyone picked up The Outer Worlds yet? Its made by Obsidian and looks similar to Fallout 4 but with slowed time instead of VATS and is set in sci-fi land. It is exclusive on the Epic Games Store/Microsoft Store/Physical product and won't be on Steam for a year but I'm interested to hear if it is any good.

Watford only take a season/season and a half to sort out depending on your luck. You need to have a firesale though after all your players return from loan to net a nice transfer kitty. Wolves would be my pick for a challenge out of the three.

Choose a match and play it - it is basically an arcade game. Again, the developers have said there's more of the game to come this is just the base version. I kinda wished they had waited until they put in more modes, though, because there's obviously no guarantee that they will.

Yes. I have an issue with my controller where to climb the turnbuckle (which is in the direction of the turnbuckle + X & A on a X-Box controller) where it wouldn't work, but if I use the directional buttons instead of the analog stick it works fine. Only real bug I've encountered so far. I've seen a few people disappointed with the size of the roster but in the short time I've played it I've found that you can unlock as you rank up and the developers have said that there will be DLC in the future but it will be free, so hopefully that bodes well as it is kind of lacking a bit in game modes at the moment. There's a lot of content on the creation centre already as well.

I'm a United supporter but I'm apparently the odd one out in actually liking this. I like that our options are academy players. We've wasted loads of money on big name players who haven't worked out. I like that the club is being forced in a position to go back to basics and use the young lads where needed. Besides Rashford there hasn't really been many to break through from the academy and be successful in recent years so it is as much exciting as it is worrying for me. It may end up horrifically failing but at least it'll be better than watching overpaid players who are only there for the pay day.

I took over Manchester United after the first season (where they finished 6th) and can confirm Greenwood is class in the first half season of play. He's had a lot of appearances in cup competitions and done well off the bench. I brought in Mario Mandzukic as my main striker (4-2-3-1) to get a couple seasons while they youngsters develop after Lukaku's leaving - Mario scores few goals but creates a lot of chances for the 2 inside forwards (and to a lesser extent the attacking midfielder) so whoever is playing out of Rashford, Martial, James, Lingard, Chong, Greenwood, Gomes tend to bang them in. But I'm faced with a dilemma with the youngsters doing so well. Even McTominay is bossing it so much in the midfield I sold Matic in the January window to cash in before his contract ran out.

Firewatch was far and away the best game I played last year. To The Moon is an indy made RPG game. You play as 2 scientist type folks who go back through an old man's memories. Can't say much more without ruining it. The game relies almost solely on story/a few puzzles, there's no fighting from memory. Its been a couple years since I played it but it was an absolutely gut wrenching story in parts too. There's also Always Sometimes Monsters. Another indy RPG which almost plays out like a young adult drama with drugs, sex, cheating, violence etc. Every choice you make has a real impact on the rest of the game.

Does anyone else find this to be the easiest FM in recent memory? Never really played too much lower league stuff so I started a game with Leyton Orient after seeing how poorly they were doing in real life. Won League 2 in first season, won League 1 in second season, on track (after 30 games) for promotion from The Championship in third season. On the way to this I've lost a total of 9 league games over 3 years (quite a few draws though). I actually don't particularly want to get promoted this season as if I do I'll go in: a) still playing at Brisbane Road (board announced a new stadium before the start of this season but nothing since then). b) I'll have the weakest Premier League squad ever (and I doubt I'll get much money too improve it). c) My tactics more than likely won't work (up until now I've played a basic attacking 4-4-2 and won most games by simply outscoring the opponent - very few clean sheets kept). Probably my most bonkers game I've ever had. I only started it for a bit of an experiment with lower league football but have simply continued after being dumbfounded by my success.

Took over AC Milan who were languishing in 13th position at the start of the January transfer window. Now halfway through February and unbeaten in 11 games (except for a 2-1 loss at Bologna in the 2nd leg of the Italian Cup semi-final after a 4-0 win at home). Cannot heap enough praise on my newest signing, Mauro Icardi. Bought Inter's half of his rights for 6M Euro's as Balotelli has been injured on and off all season and not performing and I had shipped out two dramatically underperfoming strikers in Robinho and Pazzini so was down to Balotelli and the (also newly signed) Sebastien Giovinco in the striker ranks. An injury to Stephen El Shaarawy saw Giovinco move to AML and Icardi slot in as a lone striker and so far he has 6 goals in 7 appearances! Can't remember the last signing I made who had such an immediate impact and didn't require time to settle into the team.

Anybody got this yet? Street date broke a day early today. Interested to hear what its like.

This offseason is going to be interesting. Adrian Beltre has declined his option with the Red Sox and looks to test the free agent market. Plus the BoSox have to decide whether they wanna pick up Big Papi's option for this year or try and negotiate a smaller contract. The Reds declined their options for Orlando Hudson and Aaron Harang but are going to keep Bronson Arroyo and Jonny Gomes. The A's have exercised their options for Coco Crips and Mark Ellis but declined Eric Chavez's $12.5M option. Vlad's option with the Rangers was declined but apparently both parties want to work something out. Jose Reyes is staying with the Mets after they picked up his option. Aramis Ramirez has decided to stay with the Cubs. And then of course the confirmed free agents: Cliff Lee, Carl Crawford, Adam Dunn, Carlos Pena, Paul Konerko, Derrek Lee, Aubrey Huff, Juan Uribe, Pat Burrell, plus Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettite are all free agents for the Yankees, not that they will go anywhere. We could see some pretty big names moving around this year. I could see the Yankees pursuing Beltre or Crawford for the DH spot, especially if they don't end up getting Cliff Lee.

I was rooting for the Rangers, but I'm happy for the Giants - they deserved to win with the way they played all through the playoffs. One thing that makes it even more exciting though, is the fact that this Giants pitching staff could be around for a long, long time. I don't think that the Giants are going to have to wait anywhere near as long to win their next World Series this time.

Agreed, Feliz should've come in. I dunno what's going on with Ron Washington but he suddenly seems incapable of making the right decisions. The Giants are playing good, but Jesus Christ was Kinsler unlucky or what? I thought that ball was gone for a home run for sure.

Huh. First thing I thought was, "Cool, a Marvel movie made by Pixar." Don't really think it'll be a bad bit of business at all for either party. People are, of course, complaining that all the gay characters will be killed off and whatnot... but Disney owns studios that put out violent stuff (Kill Bill, for instance)... so yeah, not really going to be a problem, methinks.

What happened in the second half, lads? The Ivory Coast are quite fun to play with, despite the fact that I should've loaded all players from the Ivory Coast since I have three goalkeepers to choose from. Also had a brilliant 10-2 win (shitty 'keepers! :@) over Madagascar. EDIT: Probably doesn't help that Kolo Toure is injured for 8 months so my defence is a bit weaker.
