I’d struggle with that with my eyes. I only ever play it on my iPad in my lounge. The game plays very well on a tablet. I make a point of playing on both - on the Phone the skin is slightly different (depending on phone size) to ensure that its as readable as possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present there are no plans to add a manager contract to Football Manager Mobile - the reason for this is simply that it would have a negligible effect in the game because there are no ways to spend that salary. I want to keep the mobile game fast and fun, adding things like this would slow it down somewhat ... hence I try and keep it somewhat streamlined with things which aren't optional.

HM786 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 @Marc Vaughan Hi Marc is there an estimated time for the game to drop? I have an android and last year the game did drop in the evening. Will the game be dropped at midnight, earlier or later? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact time that it becomes available in a region is down to the way the internal mobile stores operate and isn't something we directly control (we simply upload the final build and press a button to release - but it takes a while for the GooglePlay, iOS stores or whatever to replicate it on their servers around the world).

RKT91 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Will the new version of FMM have squad registration requirements? Apologies if this has been asked already! I think having registration requirements will add another layer to the game instead of being able to go out and sign anyone you want within your budgets.

No this makes things too complex/slow for the mobile game imho and isn't something which is planned to be added at any point - if you want this sort of thing then I suggest you play FM PC/Mac. PS - If you just sign loads of players then you'll have issues keeping them all happy imho. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a feature i would like because sometimes i like to do a mercenary wandering manager save. I simulate it by looking at the overall wage budget though. Nothing an imagination can't fix!

JohnyBruce Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 14 hours ago, MrManagerMan said: Totally agree. I love all three versions of the game for different reasons. Keep FMM easy to pick up and play and fly through the seasons compared to the other two but still having depth there when you want it. For me, 2020 was almost the perfect version of FMM so really looking forward to 21 coming tomorrow (which of course will really be tonight...) 100% agree MrManagerMan, FM20 Mobile was the Goldilocks of FM games, if I can word it like that ☺️ It’s like CM0102 but better, and CM0102 is regarded by many as the pinnacle of the entire CM/FM series! When depth can sit well with pick up and play, you for sure have something special. Roll on FMM2021, almost midnight 🥳 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnyBruce Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Really loving the greyed out effect, so much better on the eye I must say. 8 games in with Chelsea - 5th 😬 but I absolutely love the challenge, am no way complaining. So just bought Harry Kane for £129mil plus Hudson Adoi ...wanted Suarez initially but he failed a medical. First impressions of the game, very very good indeed, seriously impressed, I’ll be back at the end of my first season to give an update! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
