Dodgyknees Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Probably won't buy this. I loved buying cheap players etc, so there is no attraction for me anymore. Plus, clubs always want stupid prices for players up for sale, but are quite happy to offer 20p for your star striker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Odd there aren't any hints at all about new features, just the 'contract extension' offer of 25% if you own '17 on Steam. Perhaps that means there are even less changes than usual? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted August 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've recently started a game on 17 as Ajax, and it's so hard to bring anyone in. Players all want triple their current salary, and that's if you can get the club to release a £2m player for less than £10m. I understand that in part it's done to ward off suitors when the club doesn't want to sell, but the clubs NEVER want to sell unless a player is listed - which is just unrealistic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 i think part of the issue is current value status needs an overhaul, you can find a regen who's value is £100K and get a £10m bid rejected, club want £42m, he's not valued at £100k then is he... id also suggest that they try and implement alternatives to massive spend in the transfer market, increase the depth of options with regards to training and youth scouting / system set up so you can try and build something rather than buy something, make regens less of a lottery the media stuff and the team talks definitely has to be overhauled this year too, been the same for the last 2 games if not longer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pointless. I just have my assistants do it now. Waste of time. I do enjoy the game, but there have been occasions in previous saves where I've used an in-game editor to buy or sell players. I'd always use a fair price, and not sell a kid to PSG for £50m. But when you've got a player who's worth £8m and wanted by 5 clubs but they won't bid until he's offered out at £5m it just seems rubbish. There's never any wiggle room on asking prices for listed players either. It's all a bit odd. I'd be interested to see what they could do with agents beyond just paying them money. Briefing a few agents to find you players could be interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted August 16, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2017 I will miss this edition. Having too much fun playing 17 and unless there is some new major developments just dont see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2017 Think this will be the year I bow out having played it forever, just doesn't hold my attention any more. I used to like building squads on the cheap, flogging people at their peaks and building clubs. The stuff above is right re transfers, it's taken the enjoyment out of the game for me, I find the game a little dull now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 This is where I'm at too, haven't played in months. I think I'm cured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Same here. I tend to play a long save and have little problem stepping away for months at a time. I'm still playing the 2015 version and in 2d mode too. I'll upgrade to the new one in a few years but no real point every year given how little change there is, and updated player packs etc. are available for a few years after every release if you need to start a new save.

villa4europe Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm 2d mode too, don't think that will ever change, which is why pretty much every year I'm disappointed so much effort seems to go in to improving the 3D bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it's doing a great job at reflecting reality then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 6, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'll be purchasing this this year. Haven't played a full FM game since 2013, and even then I only really dabbled in it. The overcomplication put me off. I realise that might be a problem again this time, but I'm hoping some time away from it will have helped!
