villan95 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Enjoying this so far. The match engine seems much improved. Players moving a lot more fluidly. Edited October 24, 2023 by villan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have the Saudi teams bidding for a couple of players I didn't want to sell though (playing as Chelsea btw) Edited October 25, 2023 by villan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what's going on with the finances of the clubs, can only assume the AI injects massive amounts of money in to them each season, ala the real 'public fund'.

You get a choice of a couple and they will say what sort of offers they can get from teams but they obviously want a cut of the transfer. So 1 might say they can get an offer of £10M but they want 5% and another might say they can get £12M but they want 10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just started up the Beta using the Real World feature and played about an hour so far. Its a bit different though we have about 8 injuries at the start and bizarrely McGinn on the transfer list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Zaniolo ended up 2nd top scorer in the PL in my save with the AI managing Villa so seems like he's pretty good this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I've put about 5 hours in to the touch version on the switch, its a patch surprisingly started as villa which I never do but I had a really good villa save on 23, bought barco, arnau martinez, almada, and then karim konate which I didn't need to do, sold hause to SA (for about 8m!) chambers to spurs (16m!!) and traore to SA (8m) im in about november and 3rd in the table, scoring tonnes of goals but spread around the team, ramsey playing as a support striker has 11 goals already, diaby is a monster, zaniolo is petty much zaniolo in real life, I'm scoring on average around 3 goals a game when you throw in the ECL which I've scored at least 5 in each game and he's got 1 goal, I've got 7 players with 3+ i think and he's got 1, I'd say watkins seems pretty realistic too, he's on around 7 goals and has inconsistencies same old with villa though which is why I don't enjoy playing as them - kellyman is a 2 star player, young 3.5, wilson 3, kerr 3.5 so I'm looking at it thinking none of the youngsters will break through and 5 years+ in ill have a team full of regens its the usual FM where early doors I seem to get an insane amount of injuries (martinez has had 3 separate ones already before xmas) and unfortunately on the switch they've not fixed the game crashing during replays (i still play it text only with goal replays) there's various tweaks all over which i dont notice already, not sure what the set piece editor really achieves yet, the big screen showing the game as you watch the game is **** brilliant so yeah its just an update of the transfers, £40 please mate.....yes sir, here's my £40 and 200 hours of my life....
