villa4europe Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It's really quick, I expected a huge drop in depth but its an absolute gulf the biggest problem I have is stuff like the condition always being 100%, the game moving so fast and the way its displayed it feels like it's hard to make in game tweaks, no team talks, doesnt feel like I actually have to do anything... Its like fifa when you sim all the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted November 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2019 Signed Brewster on loan, signed Jarrod Bowen and Edouard in my first window. Still in pre-season. Sold Nyland, Kalinic, Taylor, Lansbury and Kodjia. @avfcDJ is that Gylfi Sigurdsson?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I started with inter and not arsenal for a change signed vignato and a young left back called ait something, both reasonable prices too (!) Zebre running away with the league (wasn’t expecting the license thing to go beyond fifa, not sure what Juve are after but think it’s a misstep) but the competition after them is really good, lukaku is pish, unfortunately so is Martinez, inters a good long game though, buy young wait for Juve to drop off slightly then dominate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the main differences? Anything major missing from the main version? I assume it’s quicker to process etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 A lot of short cuts taken out, no team talks, no media stuff (which I think is shit anyway) slightly smaller database so I loaded 3 leagues knowing I'd use the other 2 just for youth scouting, not sure on game engine cos I'm old school text screen anyway but goal replays look decent, the staffing options aren't as deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 I always have trouble figuring out who I want to start with when the game comes out. This year has been no different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Well bought this and must admit, given it's been my first FM in like 7 years I'm pretty bamboozled about all the stuff you can actually do. That said I spent a good 8 hours on it yesterday. I had a massive clear out and signed Gian-Luca Itter Myron Boadu Jude Bellingham Trincao Omur Abdulkadir I've played two actual league games and drew 1-1 away to Palace and 0-0 at home to United. Main worry seems to be up front - not sure Wesley will score many, Boadu isn't going to be ready to start for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has been no different Throw away game with a decent team, usually arsenal for me, this year inter, scout like mad, nail the tactics, then move on to probably a psg game where I go for top of the hall of fame, or maybe a barca game which is at times more challenging than it sounds, then and maybe then I'll consider myself ready for a Villa game after the real Jan transfer window Those that start with villa are mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Qualified for the CL, got a transfer budget of £70m, haaland and grimaldo already signed up Got another 4 games to go and the cup final vs juve, was unbeaten for 32 games... Then lost to AC Milan and juve back to back, Ronaldo scoring a penalty in the 92nd minute in a convincing 2-0 defeat, in my head I know exactly how much he celebrated, juve will win the league, I've drawn too many games Vignato is a great signing, also got 2 in from psv in Jan, amc who's name begins with V and I can't spell and a LW called doku, both good, lukaku and martinez both shit all season, politano is the star Edit: also if you want a decent RB who can cover LB I got henrichs for £4m and sensible wages Edited November 24, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted November 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2019 I’m 7 league games in, and still in the Carabao Cup. League form is decent. Won 3, drew 1, lost 3. Sat in 11th. Whats worrying me is the lack of goals from my forwards. Not a single goal for Edouard, Wesley or Brewster. Need to fiddle with the tactics to start getting them goals somehow. Not conceded in 4 now, after shipping a fair few earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
