We already know it will be released on Friday if not earlier. Why wouldn't we want it earlier, when it's been clearly said that it will come on Friday or earlier. And for the record, I am not one of those people who'll be moaning about bugs in beta, FFS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armistice Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah it's exciting but why aren't people working out a system on FM17 to go straight into their new FM18 saves? That's what I am doing atm with Spurs since it's gonna be my first career in the new game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you base your tactic on your players' abilities, then you can have good "bridge" tactics from a FM version to another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you base your tactic on your players' abilities, then you can have good "bridge" tactics from a FM version to another. Not necessarily even that as a sensible set up seems to work in the game rather well no matter if your players' attributes fit to the system. I have noticed that many times. But yes a sensible set-up is always going to be working no matter what the version is. I have for example used the same basics with Athletic Bilbao for maybe the last three FMs as the team is kept quite similar every year as they have the limitation to only sign Basque players.
