ecosse1982hotmail Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I have witnessed some negativity from our beloved Football Manager YouTube Content Creators of late and I would not presume to form an opinion on FM23 until I'd firstly been reliably informed by my own experience. However, I do purchase every other edition of Football Manager; i.e. FM15, FM17, FM19, FM21 and now FM23, thus allowing me to give my first-impression of FM23 having almost drowned in my own attention to the minutiae haphazardly organised in FM21. Thanks Sports Interactive. I'm so relieved that the franchise has rediscovered the balance that it always strives to achieve between FM's depth/detail and precision/performance which has led me to recapture the love that I could never lose, not to mention the exhilaration which precedes seeing far more sunrises in a calendar year than is truly healthy for a 40 year-old Dad.

phnompenhandy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I think buying it every odd-number years makes all the difference. I too skipped FM20 then FM22 and as a result didn't feel all the then negativity towards FM21 and now FM23. I can fully understand that FM23 is not much more than an upgrade on FM22, but if you never played that one and have progressed straight from FM21, the Match Engine feels reasonably well progressed, as is the step forward in implementing tactical instructions (set pieces aside). And that has always been the bread-and-butter of FM. The other 'new features' do feel underwhelming and mostly ignorable, but having skipped FM22, I can still mostly ignore them and enjoy the 'new' game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasonen Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The ME on FM23, what can I say. When you see and try it once you can't go back to any earlier FM after that, it's so much more alive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcp1417 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 3 positives : 1. Matches are more fun to watch. 2. I don’t have to wait 14 days to renegotiate after a breakdown 3. It’s cool that FM players get to experience the new Champions League format before anyone else. 3 negatives: 1. Management of Set pieces has been ignored once again. 2. International management has been ignored once again (a real shame for a WC year) 3. Disappointing that the squad planner is not very user friendly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2022 Just to be clear, the feedback thread already covers what this is doing. You can ask for 'positives only' but only within a few posts people are posting balanced opinions with both positive and negative comments. So that's why this was closed. Cheers. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
