BarryTheLarry Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The data hub I'm sure will end up being one of my favourite additions since I started playing FM. The potential to add new metrics and features to it each year is also huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpillBlood Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Tried a couple of different tactics so far. The attacking movement, from tactic one my wing backs and tactic two my inside forwards feels like such an improvement. Everything at Rotherham seems great.

Nonlondoner Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Default skin - very good. Beta version stability - excellent. Match engine - best yet. New features - will see how it goes, early impressions are good. You know what? This might be the best FM Beta ever, possibly the best FM ever. Top work SI.

harrycarrie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Four quick matches as Man U: Wide CBs (Maguire, Varane( on Def duty work brilliantly. Don't venture forward much, allowing Shaw and Sancho as CWBs on Att to boss the wings. When we lose possession, any ball into the channel they mop up. Impressed. Corners are still OP. Scored 5 in 4 with my old routine. Gegenpress tiredness works, but only seems to come into effect when opposition is knackered too so their chances are sloppy. Understandable though. Default skin is actually nice, feels good. Loving the transfer value system a lot more than previous. Some good signs ahead! Kudos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) The new UI/skin for the game is so much slicker and nicer. I disliked the FM21 one as it was a bit clunky and not nice on the eye but the subtle changes for this game are great. It has more of a dashboard look too, which is good.

phd_angel Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) I spent 40 minutes with the game for a comprehensive feel. Played one friendly with a lower-league English club. The game engine feels better, more fluid, new moves, and I didn't see any of the crazy offsides or broken set pieces yet. Data Hub is new. But only works after 3 league matches. Curious to see. The rest: - nice interface, more elegant, modern. - dark skin is not nice. too dark. Why not more skin options?! - need to recreate all my FM21 settings (formations, tables, set pieces, etc.) - bummer - need to reinstall all facepacks and logopacks and remove name restrictions - bummer Press conference - same experience. maybe a few answer options were rewritten. Squad, Dynamics, Tactics - all the same Scouting center - same. a new option/filter by letter rating Data hub?! new to me. need to explore Training, Medical Center - same Schedule, Competion - same Scouting, Contracts - look the same Recruitment Meetings - better! Recos are better visuals Team screen - same Pep Talk - same, maybe a few rewritten options Tactics - same, didn't find anything different Dressing Room midgame pep talk - same, more/different options All in all, FM22 is minor database upgrade with a few improvements. It's more of the same, a bit better. Don't expect anything "revolutionary". * PS: Next day playing, I found that Weekly Meetings with staff is a very good addition as it compiles a variety of staff issues I need to address all at once. I'm intrigued still by the new Transfer Value ranges (instead of a single set value). Not sure I like it yet. Game processes faster apparently (compared to new saves in prior FM editions - let's hope it stays fast!) Some UX issues: Recruitment profiles do not show player Attributes! Instead a big empty space for Agent demands. I have to hoover player to see attributes. Doesn't make sense not to display attributes as the main dataset on his profile.
