SimonHoddle Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I’ve played both on iPad and iPhone and they seem like sane game. Which suggests I only need one of them. Can anyone enlighten me? TY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie_davis Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 iPad and iPhone - they are the same game lol you're only paying for one subscription to Apple Arcade so you can keep in both devices console is different… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildor Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 As far as I know touch and console are similar, if not the same, at least the switch version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a minor correction, on the switch is called touch (maybe cause we can use touch controls too) but tbh I'm not sure there's any difference between touch and console versions (hence the forum being the same for both) could be wrong though.

You can have an Xbox gamepass app on your iPad which accesses the console game and is playable as touchscreen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No difference between console and touch via Apple Arcade. So if you play console on your iPad and, touch on your iPad with arcade, it’s an identical experience?

No. Console through xCloud allows 10 Leagues, Touch only 5 leagues. Touch allows import of tactics, custom views, shortlists etc, xCloud don't.

There are subtle differences between the two. Touch (Arcade/Switch) supports a max of five nations where as Console can support up to ten if you are playing via Xbox Series X or S. Console also gives you the opportunity to play online game modes which you can't access via Touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both good games (they should be considering their similarity ha) and I love the accessibility of FMT and console on my iPad and iPhone. FM as a whole is evolving v nicely now after a few post FM17 years in the doldrums, IMO. i do wonder if console needs to be more differentiated from touch. The sheer gaming power of Xbox and requirement for online play versus offline via Arcade should clearly delineate it from mobile non gaming devices. If anything it’s been stripped back (less in match analysis by way of example). as touch is reborn as a streamlined game for time poor people, it means console doesn’t need to be that. I really feel for obvious reasons I don’t need both, I got touch to play when I’m travelling but I play it as a preference to console now. im sure these discussions are taking place so just adding my 3pence worth. As I say, as of last year the game became really addictive again so great work. Keep evolving :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
