Brilliant, thank you

Morning guys Now that we have the specs for FM25 what are the thoughts about Apple Macbooks handling the new game. I need a smaller more lightweight laptop as with kids its difficult to get a big bulky laptop out and the kids like using my current one as a step lol! Have been looking at the M3 pro chip mainly this one: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/apple-macbook-pro-14-2023-m3-pro-512-gb-ssd-space-black-10257854.html I have also considered these as they are a similar weight: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-prestige-16-ai-studio-b1veg-16-laptop-intel-core-ultra-7-1-tb-ssd-grey-10260045.html https://www.currys.co.uk/products/msi-prestige-16-ai-studio-b1vfg-16-laptop-intel-core-ultra-7-1-tb-ssd-grey-10260044.html Thank you

Was just curious, are we thinking FM 25 touch will be released on switch or will si dump that this year? Was thinking of getting a touch for playing when out and about and with young twins might be easier to get out and play quick with less time these days.

Really helpful thanks @Smurf Will take a look at that as looks good. I know its probably difficult to say at the mo but do you reckon this would comfortably run FM25?

Thank you @kevhamster and @Smurf really appreciate the help. Will definitely hold off and wait until spec are out. I have never had a mac to be fair but looking for something smaller and more portable but still with enough power for FM so though the Macbook might be the solution.

Hi, I am looking at getting a new laptop with FM 25 on the way and changing needs for work etc. Whilst I realise it is a bit soon without any idea of FM25 specs etc would really appreciate some feedback as been looking at this Macbook: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/apple-macbook-pro-14-2023-m3-pro-512-gb-ssd-space-black-10257854.html I currently have a gaming laptop with an RTX 3050 GPU but am finding it too large and bulky so looking for something smaller but still with enough power to run FM ideally with the 3D match engine but not against going back to the 2D engine to be honest.

Just out of interest was the Tonali ban added in the latest update?

Hi all Was just wondering if the tonali ban was added in the latest update as he seems to be still available in mine - have update to version 24.1.1 Thank you

Is he included in the 'my world' mode then out of interest?

That makes perfect sense to be fair, thanks

Just wondering has anybody else noticed Paul Pogba is not in the database at all. Not that's it's a problem just curious as to why? I'm guessing it's related to his possible upcoming drug ban but in the past lots of these types of bans have been included.

My mates brothers friends next door neighbours grandmother's son works for SI and he said it'll be out Monday 😆

Thank you, much appreciated. It seems to be quite intermittent but those specs should be able to run it ok I would have thought. I'm happy with just the 2D engine to be fiar but this is also quite juddery

Hi guys I have recently got a new laptop and noticed the match engine in 3D and 2D are not particularly smooth and can randomly judder. Ha sanyone else had this or got any advice to help? I have played around with some of the match settings and moving to medium definitely makes a difference but am just playing around with some of the settings. My previous laptop was about 4 years old and had an i3 processor and seemed to play in better than my currrent laptop with a dedicated GPU. Current laptop specs if useful are: Processor AMD Ryzen 5 6600H with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.19 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system Windows 11 GPU: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3050 Have updated drivers and windows etc, Thank you

Brilliant, thank you so much The game will play all ok when transferred over?

Great point and toally agree...although every fibre in your body is going berserk when the anxiety grows......when I have challenged it it really does subside eventually.......just depends how long you can sit it out

I am about to buy a new laptop but dont want to lose some of my current games. I have an external Hard drive - can I just transfer the saved files to that and then load on to the new lap[top? Thank you

Thank you so much for your input and help guys, really is massively appreciated. @Gee_Simpson sounds like our has quite a lot of crossover...I have read quite a bit about exposure therapy and did have CBT for panic attacks back in 2012 as well. Going to give it a go but working up to it

ood morning I have suffered with OCD in a variety of forms since I was around 14. It started of with the typical checking doors/lights were off to remembering specific things that were said to general obsessing over a variety of areas. To unwind I love to play FM but OCD has managed to get it self embedded in here so badly that one of my key hobbies is no longer enjoyable in the same way it once was. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced similar or had any advice? Any imput very gratefully recieved. There are a number of areas the OCD has managed to infiltrate and have an impact including: 1) Loading a new game requires a huge amount of checking to make sure all the little details are accurate - I also take photos of each screen to make sure and refer back to. If it is not loaded correclty or a button is clicked in the wrong way I have to stop and restart the process all over again. This can possibly last for hours - and has gone on for days. 2) I cannot load a game with a team where the number 13 is invloved in any format - ie they finished 13th last year/13000 season ticket holders/13 years since a trophy as this would be bad lukc and could lead to some form of unspecified doom outside of the game. 3) Choosing a team to manage is an almost imposible task as the OCD links some form of bad luck or possible catastrophy to nearly any reason it so chooses - could be negative things that have happened managing that team outside of the game in the past/the sponsor of that team being linked to something that could be negative - ie finance linked to bankruptcy and that is an omen for me - or if the sponsor is a broadband company this is negative and I worked for one and had a bad experience and this could be triggered with my current role. I am off work this week using some annual leave and had wanted to start an new game but the OCD will not let me and feels like such a wasted day. Today is the anniversary of one of my wifes friends passing away and the OCD wont let m eload it today as it would always be the game that was loaded on the anniversary of her best friend passing. Thank you so much to anyone who made it to the end of my rambling and any imput very happily recieved. Take care all, Luke

Great, thank you Would it be noticeably poor? If I was loading for example 8 nations with 15 leagues on a large dB, would it run do you think or be basically unplayable?

Thank you, so I wouldn't simply be able to download fm 23 from steam and play it?

Great, thank you How was the functionality generally? All OK?

I have just seen there may be an issue with the ARM processor on the surface 9 5g model for gaming....whatever arm means

Brilliant, thank you Sorry final question, might be a stupid one but will the touchscreen work OK with fm?

On the surface pro 9 would the 3d matches be OK? No lag etc? I generally don't load too many nations/leagues - normally around 8 nations with approx 15 to 20 leagues on a large dB
