Football Manager 2021

[Chris2K]

Started a game with Chippenham, lost 4-0 in my first game, quit.

Started a game with Spurs, lost 3-0 in my first game, quit.

 

It's possible I'm not very good at this.

Just your team choice. Seen several screenshot on Twitter of Spurs finishing Season 1 in the relegation zone.

Game seems as easy as it ever has.

Playing as United. First transfer window signed Pau Torres as Harry Maguire's partner. Sold Lingard to Roma for about 15M and Rojo to AC Milan for a touch under 10M. Nobody wants Phil Jones (realistic to be fair). Middle of the season and I'm 13-5-1 and in second on the table just a point behind Liverpool. January I've signed Dominik Szoboszlai as a long term replacement for Matic and Jeremie Frimpong as a cheap backup right back.

Still not sold on the match day UI but I'm getting used to it. Still don't like the UI for press conferences (there's so much unused space and they've resorted to using a small font instead of utilising more of the space by making it larger and easier to read). But overall I think it is probably a step up from last year, if not a huge one (which I wasn't expecting in a Covid world). I have noticed that assistant coaches don't seem to recommend individual training ideas or traits anymore which is a bit of an odd exclusion.

So yeah tl;dr: it's good if not a bit easy.

Plays as Man Utd, complains the game is easy. Fancy that!

 

Take on a lower league team with no cash!

I liked that post but I am currently top of the Bundesliga after 7 with Schalke, having beaten both Bayern and Leipzig, so maybe it's a bit too easy currently.

You’ve still got the inevitable 20 game winless streak October/November to come 

[Liam]

First game of the season as Fulham and I defeated Liverpool 2-0.

Game is broken.

[Bobfoc]

Quite so. You should have won 7-2.

So 4231 is as disgustingly strong as it has ever been. My mate's made a 4231 Vertical Tiki-Taka and he's been destroying the premier league.

I've no idea about 21 but I tried this on 20 and promptly won my Europa League match with Sheff U against Maritimo 9-0.

Time to edit Wrexham's funds?

More Alphonso Davies comparisons:

Spoiler

He's apparently being fixed for full release, but I prefer this version, just because he's worse than some players who haven't even played 20 professional games in their career.

This is the kind of shit I do on a beta save to amuse myself.

100% worth it.

Amazing to me that match graphics are rated at only three stars on an Xbox One and can only load five nations.

[RazorsEdge]

Weirdly just had the team confront me about standing in the way of Phil Jones' dream move except that I'm not. He's been transfer listed all season and played 1 game, I want him gone more than anyone.

Also now that I've gotten to the knockout stage of the Champions League I've noticed that the match UI no longer displays the aggregate scoreline, just the score for the current leg.

[stokeriño]

Where's the "slap this idiot round the face" option?

[Lineker]

Price of this goes up later tonight ahead of the end of the beta phase and the full release of the game.

[OctoberRaven]

2020 question here, but it seems like none of the logo packs I've come across has MUFC for legal reasons. I'm pretty much screwed on that front then?

[Lineker]

Just grab it from a past year's pack. Not like the badge has changed; you'll just need to make sure that the config.xml files line up correctly.

[Lineker]

For anyone still umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to invest in this year's version.
