-Jef- Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) CDKeys is not an official partner and dabbles a bit in grey market and therefore cannot provide the guarantee for beta.

Each version sees upgrades in this area, so a) the last 15 versions have not been the same and b) FM21 will have an improved transfer market and one that has been affected by COVID, see here: Can't remember whether it's mentioned in that blog or not, but we should see more loan to buy deals etc, so there's definitely been a lot of work done.

However, I get this when I click on 'add code' I ordered through CDKeys as well. I checked My Account tab yesterday morning on my CDKeys page and the code was there. I entered it in Steam and the game appeared in my Steam library. Hopefully that puts your mind at rest if you haven't received your code yet. I was very unhappy with the vagueness of the reply I received after purchase when, like you, I didn't receive my code instantly. I won't be buying from them next year. An extra 5 or 10 quid won't hurt to buy from an official Sega retailer. I consider that cheap for peace of mind that I haven't been scammed. A lesson learned I suppose.

The blog mentions these three things at the top as areas of improvement! I could not be any happier. My excitement for FM21 just skyrocketed Yes. 100%. I wasn't looking forward to the BETA anywhere near as much as previous editions if truth be told. I purchased more out of habit and to see how the new recruitment module works. Two major bugbears of mine, from Fm18 on and from when scouting was overhauled, are the unintelligent and unrealistic scouting module within the game and the decreasing quality of the match engine, definitely from Fm19. The notorious idiocy of wingplay drove me demented to such an extent that I attempted to go back to commentary only. That didn't work and I more or less gave up on FM20 a few months back. Like everything else, the proof will be in the pudding once the game settles down after the beta. I really hope these improvements turn out to be so. The new non-ME additions released in the past two or three have great potential with a polished ME. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
