Popular Post Seen Better Days Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2020 This will probably be my last post on this wonderful forum. I would like to thank all the wonderful contributers whose advice, help and humour have helped me through both my FM Career and life itself. I sadly am a person affected by the Mac 2011 problems and have been unable to play the latest version of FM21. FM has helped me through two bouts of depression and a 'mental breakdown' in the past 20 years. I read the FM Guide, featuring Wycombe Wanderers during my wifes 18 hour labour with my soon to be 18 year old daughter. The Highlights of my FM Career were a Jamie Vardy inspired Fleetwood FC camapaign which I ended when the board sold him. Getting Southampton into the Champions League quarter finals against Barcelona. A match I never played as I stopped the save at what I deemed the highest possible point. Lastly a couple of Brentford saves in FM 20 which were just superb. I hope you all enjoy the latest version of this wonderful series. I have watched lots of You Tube content but have decided that as in life sometimes a clean break is needed to avoid any bad feeling. The 500+ hours I spent on FM will now be spent on improving my guitar playing! Thank You Sports Interactive and goodnight. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonlondoner Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 FM21 is the latest for me, CM93 being the first. I've had Windows PCs all the way. FM15 onwards have distracted me from 2 debilitating pain diseases (Dejerine-Roussy Syndrome & Fibromyalgia) and the depression and insomnia that come with them. FM21, with Microsoft's sexy new Flight Sim and my old favourite Train Simulator will get me through days and nights when life is difficult to carry on with. All I can say is I couldn't have been luckier to have had this condition when I did. I mean imagine having a condition that keeps you at home before gaming, the internet, videos even. Good luck my friend. Maybe see you back once you've crossed the divide to Windows. Not as good as fashionable as an imac maybe, but cheaper to buy, modify and update. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your illnesses though I fully endorse what you say. I am now medically retired at the age of 44 due to critical heart failure and the need for a heart transplant. The result? I play FM most of the time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not continue to play FM20 or buy a windows laptop? I cannot imagine spending my retirement (if it ever happens) not playing FM! Don't neglect your guitar playing of course, that's important too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weed07 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You know you can still play older versions if FM21 won't work for you, i didn't get FM20 as i was having fun on a long FM19 save. Its a bit dramatic stopping playing FM alltogether. Also its Beta, full game isn't out yet so any issues could be fixed by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seen Better Days Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 After paying early for a Beta I cannot use and being largely ignored by the powers that be with the exception of a very late and bog standard message. I feel it is perfectly acceptable to withdraw my custom, this is the only way that a business takes any notice, when the money starts to dissapear. I hope to get a full refund but either way I will not sadly not be paying into a company I have lost faith in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruntonpasty Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Every now and again, on this forum, you read posts like @Seen Better Days and realise that FM is so much more than a game to the FM community. It has helped people get through really difficult times, face issues I can't imagine how awful they must be, and yet, thanks to the wonderful complexities of the game we all know and love, its theraputic tweaking of tactics, mind absorbing development of players and its ability as a gateway drug into seriously addictive practices, FM isn't just a game, its a way of life. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that changed your outlook on life, scary as hell. At least mine is a slow-burn, yours must have shaken you to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsihn Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Users in the main thread on this claim it is fixed with today's release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadicsmiles Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'd definitely keep your eye on the forums to see if this kinda thing gets fixed. You can always hope. If not, well for this year you will be able to get an updated DB for the 20/21 season I am sure. So you can always continue to play. However if you want to go and explore new things then good on you, I wish you the best! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many are reading this, silently acknowledging it as a fact but pretending otherwise...... Edited November 24, 2020 by janrzm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
