Hey @ollie_davis thanks for flagging this with us. This has been logged and is currently with the dev team.

We're currently investigating an issue with achievements on Xbox. I'll be sure to provide an update as and when I have one. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Can you please explain in more detail what happens when you try and join your friends game? Have you tried getting someone else to host? Could you both connect in an Xbox Live Party?

Hey everyone, Just like last year, please ensure all bugs are reported via Bug Tracker, rather than in the general discussion section. Please also take the time to digest our FAQs for Console and Touch.

Football Manager 2023 is OUT NOW! We're all super excited at SI Towers and hope you feel the same way too. This thread is for a place for us to collate your feedback for Football Manager 2023 Mobile on iOS & Android. This thread will be read by lots of different members of the SI team. We may reply in some instances, as will the forum mods - but can't reply to everything. The Bug Tracker is the place for any issues you find with the game. For any troubleshooting say for crashes or being unable to launch, read our FAQ's (iOS / Android). We're looking for feedback across all areas of the game, but we're especially looking for feedback on our new features including the brand new development hub. What we try to ask every year is we please if you’re raising feedback, try and make it constructive. The full list of our traditional ground rules can be found below: Please try to keep any feedback constructive. That doesn't mean you can only be positive, but if you are going to be critical, at least give us your reasons. Help us to help you by giving details. Respect other opinions. We don't expect everyone to agree but please take the time to read posts and respect their position. Even if they're wrong. Like REALLY wrong. Please take Tactical Discussion elsewhere. We've seen that these types of threads can see posts focused on the tactical side of the game and whilst this is interesting, it's much more appropriate discussion for our Tactics, Training and Strategies Discussion. Don’t make it personal. Attacks and the like won’t be tolerated. SI Staff and our volunteer moderating team will engage where we can, but any abuse makes that much more unlikely. Now please go away and start your first saves! We're excited to hear your feedback and most importantly, we're excited to see how you get on within your saves.

I believe Mando said: "This is the way".

Who knows what the future holds - in this industry I always refer to 'never say never'!

That's correct.

Unfortunately there is no pre-order, but the game will be available in the Store on 8th Nov.

You will be able to load 5 nations on Touch.

We appreciated all the feedback posted here. This is something we are constantly reviewing for the best approach across each platform. We'll be looking to provide more information and content specifically related to Touch on Apple Arcade post release. We'll continue to look at our approach for all future iterations.

It will be limited to 30 seasons.

The game will be available on Nintendo eShop on 8th Nov.

I just want to confirm that this has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft and the full Microsoft version will be launched on 8th November.

SEGA and Sports Interactive can today reveal that the PlayStation 5 version of Football Manager™ 2023 Console will not debut on 8th November, as originally planned, due to unforeseen complications which have arisen during the submissions and approvals process. Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s Studio Director, said: “We're devastated by this outcome, which we have worked tirelessly with our partners for a number of weeks to try to address. It was especially difficult to make the decision to delay, as it involves holding back a great game which a number of talented people within SI have worked tremendously hard on for quite some time. We will continue to do everything in our power to get this game into the hands of PS5 gamers as soon as we can." SEGA and Sports Interactive will update on this matter at the earliest opportunity. Customers who have pre-ordered via the PSN Digital storefront will have their pre-order cancelled and a full refund will be made according to Sony’s platform policy. Please note that there is no action required on the customer's behalf to receive the refund. All other games in the FM23 suite are currently on course for a 8th November release.

Football Manager 2023 Touch, the most authentic football management experience in handheld gaming, will make its debut on Apple Arcade on November 8th. With our 3D Match Engine arriving on iPhone for the first time ever, the Touch series will return to Apple after a year’s hiatus. Exclusive to Apple Arcade, you can keep your all-important save on the move across all of your Apple devices with one subscription. Let’s find out a bit more… WHAT IS APPLE ARCADE? Apple Arcade is a subscription service that offers unlimited access to a collection of more than 200 games, without ads or in-app purchases. It also allows members to play across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. On Football Manager 2023 Touch, you’ll be able to set your tactics on one device and watch matchday unfold on another. New games and content updates are added every week, with details available in the ‘Coming Soon’ section on Apple Arcade. HOW DO I SIGN UP? Look for Apple Arcade on the App Store through the Arcade tab. You can also search the App Store for a specific Apple Arcade game. From there, you can take advantage of Apple Arcade’s free one-month trial – or a three-month trial if you’ve just purchased an Apple device and redeem the offer within 90 days.* More details on subscription costs are available on Apple Arcade’s website. FOOTBALL MANAGER 2023 TOUCH ON APPLE ARCADE With over 120 leagues from the world’s biggest footballing nations, choose your perfect club and build your dream squad as you compete for football’s top prizes. Through Apple Arcade, our 3D Match Engine is available on iPhone for the very first time. So if you’re on the move and want to experience complete matchday control on big European nights, you can immerse yourself in the drama of fully licensed UEFA Club Competitions. You can also replicate the most popular styles of play with ready-made tactical templates, use Team Talks to inspire your players and track your success through our Dynamic Manager Timeline, a visualisation of your career achievements that grows as you reach the top. FM23 Touch on Apple Arcade is designed to make your career slick and seamless across your favourite devices. We can’t wait to hear about your progress on Apple Arcade, so follow us on our social media channels and share your successes with us. *Requires compatible devices and software.

Xbox One X is limited to 5 nations per save. You will be able to play; Online Career, Fantasy Draft and Versus Mode. You can play as many games as you want as long as you and your fellow companions are happy playing - there is no limit. Seasons are limited to 30 across Football Manager Console. The ME is exactly the same across Console & Touch.

That's correct. You'll be able to purchase Football Manager Mobile from the App Store, and you will be able to access Football Manager Touch with an active Apple Arcade subscription.

What I will say is we did have feedback over the past year or so in regards to what is now Console, Touch and Mobile, that we weren't active enough within these spaces across our content and our social channels. We take this type of feedback seriously and I feel like (others may feel differently) that we're making good progress on this. It's an exciting time of the year for all of us as we eagerly await news of our preferred platforms of choice etc. Please keep your eyes peeled on our socials and if you're not already, join FMFC for exclusive content too.

Going to jump in before the tags Just like Jon Snow - I know nothing! I promise...

Cough cough... @Cothucotchy

Football Manager 2023 Mobile will be released on November 8th on iOS and Android, with new features and improvements designed to enhance your mobile management experience. The arrival of UEFA Club Competitions to FM23 Mobile will make those big European nights feel even more special, while the introduction of Team Talks will give you the opportunity to fire up and motivate your squad. Let’s take a look at this year’s new features in more depth… TEAM TALKS Make your management style clearer than ever before with Team Talks making their Mobile series debut. Available pre-match and at half-time, be the difference maker when your team needs it most. You can also individually praise or criticise your players too, so if your star striker has produced a world-class performance or your goalkeeper is looking a bit shaky at the back, you can pass on a valuable message. You will also see a reaction screen after you chat with your players, indicating their initial response, while post-match media items will include team-talk reaction, too. Whether you’re a boss who opts for the hairdryer treatment, or someone who prefers an arm around the shoulder, the introduction of Team Talks will help represent your managerial ethos in FM23 Mobile. DEVELOPMENT HUB The brand-new Development Hub is designed to help you create future Wonderkids at your club. When younger players appear in the revamped Youth Intake screen, you can choose to bring them onboard or otherwise. From there, if it’s time for them to get some experience elsewhere, you can loan them out and receive enhanced feedback from your backroom staff throughout their spell. Via the enhanced mentoring system, you can also choose one of your players to guide a prospect through their development. INCREASED MANAGER FOCUS A refreshed Manager Profile will represent your personality more than ever before, with traits evolving throughout your career and reflecting your managerial style. To help you stay onside with the club’s hierarchy, Board Confidence has also been revamped to provide more detailed feedback on your successes and failures both on and off the pitch. With these improvements bringing you closer to the game, become a part of your own world in FM23 Mobile with the new option to add your own photo to your manager card.* UEFA CLUB COMPETITIONS Those Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights will feel even more special with fully licensed UEFA Club Competitions coming to FM23 Mobile. Matchday branding will reflect the amazing experience of big European nights as you look to lead your side to glory in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Europa Conference League and the UEFA Super Cup. The addition of live, authentic draws for UEFA Club Competitions will also offer a truly immersive experience, as you await your fate. RECRUITMENT IMPROVEMENTS Reworked transfer and loan negotiations will give you clearer feedback on your transfer bids, while other clubs will behave more realistically in their dealings with you. Elsewhere, dealings with your own players will be influenced by their underlying ambitions. For example, a burning desire to play in one of the big leagues overseas might be a greater draw than a salary increase. FMFC This year, our exclusive member’s club FMFC has been integrated into the Mobile series for the first time. Members will be able to login and get access to free exclusive game modes, with three challenges - ‘Unrest at Home’, ‘You Can’t Win Anything with Kids’, and ‘The Dangers of Capitalism’ – available to play. Selecting a national team from game start is also available exclusively to FMFC users. FURTHER CHANGES • Interim managers will make an appearance in FM23 Mobile for the first time ever – the opportunity to take up that role at another club may even appear in your inbox. • Football authorities can issue referees with the instruction to be more lenient or stricter at the beginning of a season. *available only on iOS 15+.
