They ain't.

It's as dynamic as the youth rating.

I mean, I get it with the content creators. They ain't getting paid by SI obviously, silly to think that. But they are making money from the game through their content, some exclusively as their main job ie Zealand. So when a new FM rolls around, this is peak season for them which drives up their views on their channels/twitch etc, which in turn generates more income. Turning people off the game in an alpha preview is not in their best interests. It's all upto you really. For me it's a very solid no for this year. There was hope that more was under the hood this year than the marathon "headline features" video shown but for me that isn't the case. I'll happily continue playing FM22 and let this year be the first one missed for about 25 years.

They'll be blogged on FMFC this month.

So opinions in a discussion within an open forum are no longer tolerated if it doesn't comply with the status quo? Hiring staff to code and design for console instead of say a hiring (or re-hiring) a dedicated match graphics team? 1.8m posts for PC and 27k posts for console and touch? I don't think I'm being that controversial by thinking console FM is very watered down version of game that's barely "pick up n play" and the money spent on producing and expanding onto other platforms could be used better to make the foundation game, that no doubt is still where the money is made, a better experience.

I'll be amazed if the FMFC blog on Thursday will have anything substantial in it going by the "headline features".

Console FM is an abomination and a complete waste of SI resources.

Players are still playing on a disc ie the 2d disc. They aren't physically on the pitch like it is with FIFA etc. Stuff that was changed for FIFA on a PS3. Don't think SI will ever be able to change that, just make it look better.

Must've missed that.

The reception to the "headline features" has probably put Miles n co on radio silence. Barely heard from anyone since which is unusual.

For a date I'm going with the 26-27th of October 2022. Won't be any sooner than that.

Only use two slots. One my primary tactic then a SUS tactic when I'm winning by at least 2 with 20 or so minutes to go.

None. Have zero relationships with journos as never take interview or pressers. Leave it to to your ass man and get on with things that actually affect the game.

Hardware from 10 years ago can churn out much better than what we are being given year on year. Every year since FM18 I've stuck 3d on for the first few games of the beta before giving up and going back to 2d despite that being shafted every year too.

OPZ with slight modifications. Can't fault the work done by all the skin creators this year.

Don't need a beta for a new skin......

Is there genuinely zero improvement to the set pieces?
