If the streamers arent showing the game or talking about it are they really getting any publicity? Mostly us on those forum who notice. And if they gave them a game that wasnt in a state to be played as a Beta or close to beta quality- wouldnt that cloud the Streamers views = negative publicity Also Erikson in that united kit is top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't really do those videos without access to the game. The publicity will happen when the videos come out, which will be on dates approved by SI. So, look out for videos from Zealand, Doctor Benjy, Lollujo and Work the Space etc. I'd love to see Loki Doki get the same treatment, but I think he's less likely to toe the SI line than the others are.

As I pointed out to someone calling him out for his tweet, the graphics on FM are roughly equivalent to FIFA 06 on Gamecube, which is obviously from a long time ago, and it would be nice to see this improved, although especially as someone who helps people choose computers to run the game on, it does keep the game very inclusive in terms of what hardware it can be run on. So, getting a significant upgrade to the graphics would be a bit of a double-edged sword. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crarfc Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) hopefully this week, fact it was last year should shine some light on it being this week, but who knows?? end of the day, its no the finished article - thats 8th Nov and the beta is something that more like a an experiment to see what people think and gauge their thoughts and to iron out any issues, so best to release it very soon Edited October 17, 2022 by crarfc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like when people make these kind of comments or when the say the game is exactly the same as the previous with a reskin. I'm not trying to attack you by any means but If you played the game you will always notices a difference so that in itself suggests that they worked on something. I remember people also complaining with the headline features of FM21 and yet for most people it was the best game they ever made. I just think it's unfair to compare FM to other games because what makes FM good are the little things we don't even see 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the game seems similar year on year doesn't mean there isn't a huge amount going on behind the scenes to build it each year. Ask anyone who's ever been involved in the Alpha and you'll know the amount of stuff that SI do to get the game release ready each year is huge. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
