tomsky_11 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Does anyone else on here ever do network games? I know we did some VT games about ten years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My regular first solo game has been, like you've done, start with little/no experience/badges and unemployed with about as many leagues loaded as laptop can handle, then see where I end up. Then the plan is normally to move up the leagues as quickly as possible and end up at Villa at some point down the line. Few games back I did Distillery in NI third tier to Premier League (with Newcastle) in 6th season. Could have moved to Prem in 5th season but rejected job as Villa (in Championship) came up, then Villa rejected me lol. Having said that, struggled to get into any solo game on fm22 and mostly played online. Planning for a day one, 3 team online start in League Two with Swindon, Bradford and Wimbledon to see who can get back to PL first. Remembered you asked this back in fm22 thread @daft and never replied. So, basically it's the latter. You don't have to be online, but if the game is live and being progressed and you are not online then your assistant will take over, so better to schedule times when all players can be online at same time. Exceptions to this might be if all agree to progress game through a period without games, eg in summer, international breaks, etc. Or in transfer window we've had occassions where host will load game just for one or two players to do transfer prep without progressing the game. Thank you! Wil have to try some day. FM23 will be on GamePass, so I'll probably give it a shake once it's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's just far too easy? Big teams in a one team league is a good challenge. Lyon is usually a good one as have a great academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the best Not sure if you've played it before but I find the mobile version pretty much the same as the old games and more enjoyable as a result.

hogso Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 The PS5 version no longer has a confirmed release date, and any pre orders on the PSN store will be auto refunded. No suggestion of how long the delay until release will be, either. Oh dear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I hope they haven’t changed the match engine too much. In FM22 I love nothing more than conceding 3 goals from 2 shots on target. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 There is a article in a Swedish paper with the guy who does the research for the game on Swedish players where he lists the best prospects. Some are in the lower divisions so might not be for those who plan on taking over Man C or PSG. I don't play the game anymore but I imagine the big Swedish ticket will be ROONY BARDGHJI from FCK.

sharkyvilla Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I've got the mobile version and it's fun, if a bit easy. What I found funny is I got messages about the foreign players like Kamara and then Digne now being able to hold a conversation in English, when I'm sure Digne is already fluent, but then I got one about Matty Cash as well My only signings so far have been Cunha from Atletico for £38m and Moukoko on loan from Dortmund and I'm having an Emery-like impact on the team.

DeadlyDirk Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 So just after finishing my first season I have some annoying observations..... I'm finding injuries absolutely ridiculous, even after putting a decent medical team together (physio's and sports scientists) - don't think it's down to playing style, 1st week of pre-season training over a few days I've lost 4 players to injury for at least a month, and they just seem to be frequent throughout the season, more frequent than what we see in real life. Sending offs and bookings are getting silly too but then again that's probably more down to my formation and brutal "smash 'em" style. Another annoying aspect it is when selling players, out of 10 players, 2 have been straight sales and the rest have been loans with a buy obligation, it just seems to be the done thing in the game now. Other than that, I love the game, it's so addictive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 On mobile version, some of the players comments on match day… Matt Cash, struggling to understand the language… why because he’s Polish? At half time - 60% possession, 12(8) shots for, 1(0) against winning 2-0 - some players “feel we are lucky to be winning and not confident” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
