Villaphan04 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just a few weeks until this gets released. Interested to see how it runs when it is on the xbox systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloading it now so if there isn't a qualification for being able to play the beta I'll let you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Youth teams are disappointing, feels like a lot of it is guesswork. Also Grealish has 11 Decisions, the same as Callum O'Hare... Edited November 11, 2020 by MrSmirch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just downloaded and playing around with it at the moment. Will say (imo of course) that the newgen faces look extremely smart and realistic — which is a big plus for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted November 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2020 Might have to download this today. Was going to refrain, but don’t think I can. My wife said to me last night ‘Why don’t you just buy it?’ I responded ‘because I lost 9 months of my life on the last one, playing every waking moment...’ Her face agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted November 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Had a little dabble today getting thing set up, and graphics in the game etc. Started with Villa as usual and kept Shakespeare as assistant. Brought in Bergkamp as coach as had a vacancy, and requested additional coaches so created a vacancy and recruited Paul McGuinness. Great stats on him. Also replaced Harrison with the trusty Bryan Klug Looking at shipping out surplus squad players. Managed to sell Neil Taylor for £1m to Russia. Nakamba rejected a move to Russia. Elmo has gone to Portland for £1m, so tidying the wage bill and bringing in some funds. Brought in Wilshere on a free, 2y deal on 20k a week to replace Lansbury who I’m trying to offload, and signing Rahman from Chelsea to compete with Targett for £3m on 30k. Starting squad is much stronger this year. Trez has decent stats. Watkins is ok. Martinez looks strong stats wise.

Dante_Lockhart Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I’m upgrading my work computers HDD to SSD this week. FM20 ran sooo slow (processing between games and stuff) so hopefully it’ll help it read the info quicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a chore. Oh wow! Yes it would be. Fair play for sticking at it with that speed! I play on my Mac Book Air which is about 8 years old. Speed is fine but graphics are terrible! I play on classic 2D. I abandoned my Baba Rahman deal last minute, as it was about to get confirmed. Loaned Brandon Williams instead. Figured I’d be better off waiting and upgrading left back properly next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my laptop HDD to SSD earlier in the year and it plays lightning quicker on there, but my graphics card is like 15 years old and all the text pixelates so I can't play it on there. My PC processor isn't bad so I'm assuming it's just the reading of the data, hopefully the switch to SSD will get my speeds up like with the laptop.
