Just don’t get too excited for today folks. It’ll probably only be the release anouncement. Their last development update clearly stated: Firstly, we've had to shift the official announcement of FM25 to the end of September. The gameplay focus period will follow soon thereafter.

From what i’m seeing here for the last weeks/months, you’re certainly not alone in doing so 😅

If this would be the case… Sheesh I need to upgrade the laptop asap 😂

I must admit it’s pretty funny reading the forums at this time of the year… A barrage of If’s, Maybe’s, Probably’s etc breaking loose. Discussions ignite where you see comments which come across as if wanting to persuade others of certain ideas or takes on things. Some reactions even pushing the boundaries of staying respectful and understanding to one another. Makes me wonder how those minds are kept at peace during the days. There’s also the option of just waiting it out and see whenever further info is being dropped by SI for us to read, which makes it possible to form opinions based on what is released so far, instead of the ever guessing and guessing what may or may not be the case? But I get it tho… I’m very curious myself as well 😋

This looks great. Defo a step in the right direction

I could care less about the whole graphical side for a game like fm. Always played 2d even… Also could care less if the ui is built in such a way that it takes me a couple more clicks to get to something. As long as the actual simulation part of the game is on point like match engine, squad building, player reactions/morale etc etc, I’m as happy as I can get. The power of fm, in my opinion, has never been about graphics, but about simulating the game world as close to irl as possible so we can have our universes unfold in their own unique way. Still love this game to bits, and i’m hoping it can improve to a level of pure satisfaction again.

Oh yes great shout! This is indeed a superb book to read! 🙏🏻

Many think Ajax played a 343. I’m lucky enough (and old enough unfortunately) to have seen that Ajax side play in the old stadium. But I was too young too understand anything about tactics. Ajax played a 343 IN POSSESSION. That’s where the dutch phrase “creating a man more in midfield” came from… The base tactic was a 4231 with a libero (either Rijkaard or Blind) moving up into midfield. Watch this clip where Kluivert himself corrects the setup shown on the board… Good luck with the creation of your system 👍🏻

True story tho 😅 Could care less about graphics for fm. As long as the actual simulation is on point…

With both the Mez and BBM moving up into the am tier through positional play, the IW automatically stays wider no?

Thankyou for the answer 🙏🏻

How so if I may ask sincerely? If this is true i missed the memo apparently 😅

Has it been somewhat investigated if i may be so bold to ask?

It isn’t only effective when you have very technically gifted players with high flair tho… When playing in the lower leagues, where players aren’t that good in general and they already have some difficulties in following your tactical instructions in a disciplined manner, you can use be more expressive to let them try things out and just play their game. Think of it like letting them think outside the box.

Let’s check the roadmap for this. Oh wait…. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
