Regardless it's a leak or a public announcement, pretty unnecessary to come into conclusion this early. 5 Screenshots should tell you it's just to test the waters, the community are clearly triggered by it. Will see the following updates in the following weeks.

I really really doubt the leaks are from the PC version, looks more like the mobile/touch version with the space between boxes, or perhaps they have added a Lite PC skin version which was available few years ago. Just like any games, mobile version will soon be the core market, and from a business standpoint it's a win-win in the long term. But the SI aren't dumb enough to ignore existing hardcore FM players for something so Lite, it's well documented they're stubborn to drastic changes in any FM versions. ME is probably the most likely changes, which will effect in the short term, but in terms of interface i really doubt the leaks are the PC version.

This reminds me when long shots are nerfed so much due to players constantly scoring bangers in the 2004-2013 FM, not exactly those version but those period. Remembered players like Veron, Ronaldo, Beckham just curling the ball from 30-40 yards and they have 18-20 stats rating on long shots. Now, the best long shooters doesnt have 20 stat but a more 15-17. FYI, Ronaldo had a 20 long shot and if you compare that with players like Xabi, Hakan, Valverde in newer FM who have 16-17 rating is insane! Even then, they're not scoring long shots on this ME.

I thought I'd share some ideas to improve matchday experience: 1. Preset multiple pauses at certain minutes during a match(ex: 60 minute automatic pause for tactical changes) 2. Assign automatic sub at certain time or once a certain player reach a specific stamina level 3. Ability to track a specific player each game (ex: tracking a player will be highlighted in the 3D ME, allowing you to track movements easier when off the ball, also track more detailed in game stats) 4. Modern football are now focused on movement between 2-3 players, there should be an option for pregame training to focus on combination plays. 5. Shouts should not be removed but greatly enhanced, for example telling your team to press harder, will force more aggresive approach but at the cost of faster stamina and lose of shape, those sort of tradeoff will make shouts more tactical and impactful. 6. Scouts to send reports when any player around the world does outrages things (score 5 goals, score bicycle kick, 14 year old debutant) that way we get to uncover potential talent from viral news, which does happen in real life.

Downloaded this when I got the laptop, but delayed the test for this reason. But will test it out sometime next week. I hope it's the issue that the game is running without the Arc, really hope thats the problem, not sure how do you test if the IGPU is used during a game. Test counter strike on medium and man the laptop is struggling.

Bought the Acer Swift Go 14. 2.8K OLED, Ultra 7 155h Intel Arc Graphics 16GB ram few weeks ago. So here are my reviews: - Ultra 7 155h is certainly fast, holidayed a season in around 20-25 min with 7 leagues loaded, but just in general pressing the space button is almost instant response. - Graphics on the Ultra 7 is disappointing. Don't get me wrong its fast, but the there's noticeable stutter and the fan noise and thermal gets warm (and hot). Perhaps it is a hardware issues, I've updated the drivers and laptop and its still not as smooth as the reviews i've seen in Youtube. - So I've been playing on 2D if its a warm temperature, on a cold or Aircon room I would switch to director views. - Roughly 2 to 2.5 hours of FM until battery reaches <5% - OLED is gorgeous, certainly makes the experience worthwhile -14" is perhaps not optimal for FM, I think opting a 16" would be more optimal

Recently upgraded from a desktop i5 6500, GTX 960 to a laptop Ultra 7 155h Arc Graphics and I have to say the difference is out of this world. Games run smoothly, will be posting an update on the benchmark since no one has posted.
