Popular Post russell9 Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hope I won't see these anymore in FM2021 - Every goalkeeper in the game is world class capable of inch-perfect inhuman saves. - Top strikers often miss clear cut chances my 70 years old grandpa can score with his eyes closed. - Players often score 20-30 yard firecracker goals like Roberto Carlos even someone with long shots 5. - Ping pong football, ball hit gk bounced to player A shoot again hit gk again bounced to Player B shoot again hits the goal post bounced to Player C shoot again into the far right corner and gk just did an inhuman save instant jumping from the floor to the top right saving with his fingertips.... 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonko Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The release will be only a few weeks later than usual. That's not bad at all, given the circumstances this year. Good job SI! So the beta release for those who pre-order should be somewhere around November 10, I assume. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume that if the rumours are true and Microsoft end up buying SEGA, then this will become a Microsoft exclusive and the release dates between XBox and PC won't be too big. However, considering Microsoft just spend 7.5 billion dollars on buying Bethesda not sure how soon this purchase of SEGA will happen. One other thought.

kandersson Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 No way I'll pre-order after last year disaster with DXGI crashes. FM20 was unplayable for me from beta to 20.4 (I have reported since early days), and judging from bugs forum lots of other users had similar issues (they still do as of september 2020). Will check the demo at some point and see if they've fixed those issues with Nvidia cards, otherwise it's an automatic pass for me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are technically rivals, but Microsoft also isn't a rival, since they have Office for Mac being release and they probably the first to adapt their programs to the Mac in house chips.

WilltheWolf92 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi guys, i saw yesterday some info about FM21 and I just got one question of the thing marked: The issue of game engine graphics has long been a focus of Sports Interactive and, while strides have indeed been made to make the visual experience better, there is still a way to go. Is there any change at all in the engine cause previous editions it was also this vague explanation with at the end hardly no changes. It gives me trust that it is becoming a head point (i hope) Also wonder if it's possible to start in a U19 or U21 (what like +75% of all managers start with in real life) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madeirabhoy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 its the football manager groundhog year. see announcement of preorder. get excited, forgetting last year. go to order it. see the Euro price is 29% higher than the uk price. be annoyed and refuse to be ripped off. wait till its on sale or buy a boxed edition. at least this year I thought with it being on Epic there were two chances of being charged a fair price, but I guess Sega set the price.... £35 on uk epic, €50 on European. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgen_B Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hopefully, the new version of the game will not only add "new conversations with players".

Juego de Posicion Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Will reserve judgement until the game is released and will try any free demo that is made available before considering a purchase of the full version. Previously been too disappointed with limited tactical options defensively, and a poor match engine generally, to put my faith in the new game from the start, without any major new tactical features to rectify these problems I’ve had with the game not matching my expectations in the past. So will take a “wait and see” approach this time. Hoping for the best but prepared for disappointment. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that people dream of fifa graphics in fm. But there is a lot to improve . FM still looks like a 15 years old game. graphics and animations are just poor and for me that kills a lot of immersion. I mean at some point there should be a step forward.

99 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Happy to hear about this. Won't pre-order right now but since I don't play anything else, I will probably end up doing it... I just have a "bad" feeling regarding what might be really new or improved in-game. And I'm not saying this as criticism to SI, but to what happened this year, to every one of us. And since part of those consequences, not to all but to many of us, is also more scrutiny to where money will go, I have to say I will only buy it if there is really something new/improved to justify the investment. Tough times. Edited September 26, 2020 by 99 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiyaman Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 After having witnessed a disappointing ME and the reluctance of SI to go beyond their usual patch cycle to fix obvious bugs, I think I would rather wait and see instead of blindly pre-ordering.
