Villaphan04 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The next edition of FM sort of announced.... Will also be on the Xbox Series X/S console & game pass as well as Steam and the usual other places Football Manager 2022 - Release Date - Nov 9th Will be interesting to see what the new features will be. I know they mentioned adding female players & leagues, but I'd think that would be a few years down the line in terms of finalizing a database.

villa4europe Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I might be wrong here but is the xbox version the same as the pc version or stripped down more like touch? Because I'll be playing touch on the ipad and last year that came out about a month later than the pc game Usually start with arsenal but this year I'm really tempted to do a lower league game and try and loan / buy some of the villa academy, maybe play as Ipswich seeing as they've already got Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'm petty, but I can't play FM as any other Premier League side than Villa. My first games are always Villa and then I move into more obscure leagues. My focus is almost always on youth players and investing in the youth setup etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The last FM I bought was FM17 because I dont like the sound of trying to keep the players happy on top of everything else.I MHO FM is becomming more like a job and less like a game every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Put it another way.Its a game about managing a football team.If your going to add player personalities and keeping the main player happy while also keeping harmony in the dressing room then I think that is going too far( for my taste anyway ) I dont know for sure but I would not be suprised if Football manager Classic/Touch is more popular than the full game.IMHO most people ( including me ) just want the parts you need to creat a team ( which includes buying/selling players ) tactics and then watch the game.I dont think there are many people that want the press,negioting contracts,keepinh agents happy and that sort of thing. If they keep going the way they are we will soon have to keep the tea lady happy as well as get the lawnmower serviced (All part of bieng a football manager ) or, a real one anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2021 I do get what you mean - I was just being an arse Fwiw I echo @villa4europe's suggestion about FM Touch. That's what I play and I think the balance is largely really good. Just wish I could load a bigger database and selection of leagues - I know my tablet could handle it so that's the only part that's a bit shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah see I though the xbox version was based on touch bit with the power giving it a huge database, that would be perfect for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the portability of the tablet but think you can play Xbox on it, so would be interested in giving that a whirl if I could essentially get an improved version of FMT that way. If it's the same though then there's no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 It annoys me that a company SI,who MUST know that there is a lot of players that want the ability to add leagues and custom database to touch but they choose to ignore these customers.Another thing that brasses me off is that the FM 13/14/15/16 and 17 versions ALL had Classis as part of the package.Now Classic is gone (replaced by touch ) and its a different product with its owne price tag.Talk about a rip off ?!

lp_villa830 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If you buy Football Manager you get Football Manager Touch added to your library free still. I think they just offer it separate for those who don't want the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
