FrazT Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Users can speculate all that they want, but frankly, absolutely nobody has any clue so until the first announcements hit the forums, it is all guesswork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty217 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Been wondering this too. Anybody know when the FM21 announcement was? Will probably be around a similar time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 24th is still so far away And release is even further! Really hope it's an early November release again this year. I remember it used to be 1st or 2nd week, I guess covid pushed it back last year, hopefully that was just a temporary thing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagenham_Dave Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Pretty sure we were able to pre-order the game in August in previous years, but there's been absolutely nothing about it so far this year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more me than the game, but I haven't really enjoyed FM21. I think I played too much FM20 during lockdown and should have taken a bit of break. A few months in to FM21 and It just felt like I was going through the motions a bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the forum header, the announcement thread for FM21 is listed. That was 24 September (as mentioned higher up too), so there's nothing strange going on. We're not to far off something being announced, going by history, so as has been said - it's a case of wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich2086 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm honestly still enjoying FM21 a lot and still having fun with my main save, unless there's some incredible new features i think i might skip this version for the firs time since i started way back with CM3.

Me too, the ME is truly fun to play and watch, last night my striker scored a back-heel goal which I have NEVER seen happening before, than he scored from a rocket-at-fly shot from the edge of the box, and then he scored again an volleyball-header with the goalkeeper desperately trying to save it - unsuccessfully (now this guy is my hero). Never seen such a variety of goals scored and so many brilliant plays. I'll keep buying FM forever I think but I'm also sure I'll enjoy FM21 for some time yet.

I would love to not buy the game every edition, but the CA/PA changes of players who performed well, and the new wonderkids always drags me back in. I know some user made updates have those included, but I prefer to not have that persons own personal judgement, and if it may possibly break the game etc. I suppose 22 will be worth it for the fact that the conference league is included, which I don't think can be made in the editor DB.

What do you mean by conference league? The first thing that comes to mind is the English national conference. But I thought that was already included? At least it's in my save. Definitely possible via the editor even if it's not included by default. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's in previous editions, but having recently downloaded a transfer update for FM21, looks like it can't be made for the first season, as the 21-22 season looks like, so no Spurs etc. In the conference league from the off, which takes away some realism. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Based on marketing campaign best practices, the announcement should come up in the following weeks. The pre-release should happen in November, planning for a sales spike in December. Other than a massive problem in the development/product teams causing some unexpected delays, the marketing team should be following the timeline above.

I genuinely don't think I've ever paid £40 for FM before. You can easily get it at release for around £33. And then past Christmas you can get it for less than £25. For a game that i easily put 300+ hours into every year, it's easily worth the money. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, never understood the complaint, it can be found for £30 on preorder, hundreds of hours spent on it.

grade Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The problem is when you know, you won't go to the pub and buy before hand some booze on supermarket counting you will stay at home, playing FM and drinking that booze. vicious cycle, really. :P 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alian62 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 From what i have read and seen is that the series comes in waves of 3 . I was told that these games are made in 3 year increments so when starting with FM10 - FM12 being the same game but enhanced through the 3 games with the latter being the end product of the 3 . Then FM13 - FM15 , FM16 - FM18 and now FM19 - FM21 . So FM21 i think is the end product and the last of this series . So i can see a big change in the look of the game as in colours and setting out of of the interface . 3D match Engine will be bugged as it always is on a new release but the Match Day i think we will see a big improvement . I believe this is going to be a big step forward this time in all areas and i will be disappointed if it isn't . This is my opinion of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
