I know lots of work to do the testing Match Engine from FM 05 TO FM 24 to see which one is most balance Match Engine as only way to do that is get up to 10 Games on each FM Series such as Attacking or Defending Mentality then we all can compare it as it would interesting to see it .

Everyone know that FM 13 is most balance Match Engine there is due proof of picture above on someone post it

February 23

FM 09 is the hardest as I couldn't win any games away from Home on any tactic I used!

FM 12? This one seem easier than rest of FM Series as that why lots of them still playing now!

FM 17? Lots of Crossing and always end up back of the net!

February 22

Someone was playing FM game with west Ham team of 105 unbeaten matches(I am sure that person did post picture on this forum somewhere which is unbelievable

Great Achievement to get 105 unbeaten Matches which is hard work!

February 22

I have played FM 05 to FM 24.

So best Versions in Order would be

FM 24

FM 17

FM 13

FM 12

FM 10

FM 08(I still got cd and one of my fav.)

FM 07

February 21

Easiest FM Series? I think it is FM 12 as you can easily win most trophies whichever tactic you make and put Pacey Strikers score all the goals!

What is yours Easiest FM Series(FM 05 to FM 24) and why?

Closing Polls Date going be on May 20th 2024.

Are they making Come back for FM 2023 Touch for Ipad as they decide it not worth putting in last year version of FM 2022 Touch on ipad or Andriod tablet due money problem or somethings like that.

February 2, 2022

I seem think FM 17 does have Defenders Issue when their wingers come crosser as it always end up goals and you rarely see FM 17 Defenders stopping the crosser where FM 22 is much better when come stopping crossing as depending how good your defenders are!

January 21, 2022

Football Manager 2009 is Hardest Football Manager out of all the Series because you will Struggle to win whichever tactic you used !

Team Shape did affect the distribution of individual player mentalities, where it spreads out more for a structured team shape (the more forward a player is, the higher his mentality is compared to a defender) and gets closer to each other for more fluid team shapes (the more forward a player is, the more equal his mentality is compared to a defender). And it also affects creative freedom as you mentioned already. However, it has nothing to do with how solid your team can be defensively. With a structured team shape, attack duty fullbacks will still bomb forward. What you want to do, is to switch your formation (as you did) to a more conservative one and keep players behind the ball / make everyone contribute to defense. You should therefore decrease your number of attack duties (especially from defensive players) and add more defend / support duties.

It is good to know

It is FM 2017 that I been playing. After I lost against Liverpool then When I try it again , I used ATTACKING with Fluid and score was 2-2 then I try Attacking with Highly Structure against other big team and My Team Won 4-2

July 31, 2021

My Team is Leciester City, When come Team Fixture lists and I was checking on Liverpool fixture lists where they Lost against Man City 1-0. I have started to used Man City Tactic(4-1-2-3 which is 2 wingers and one striker) with my team Mentality of Attacking with Fluid. My Team was winning 3-1 and in second Half as I want my team to attack more to get 4th goals but Liverpool bounce back with 5 goals.

I think My Biggest mistake was Mentality of Attacking when I should put on Counter and also change the formations like 4-1-4-1 to make harder to break my team down.......

I am not sure about the Team shape should you used if you were winning and trying to defend quite big leads.

From my Understanding of Team Shape would be

Highly Structured - Stay in position at all time

Structured - Stay in position sometime

Flexiable - Bit of both

Fluid - Bit more Freedom and Creative

Very Fluid - More Freedom, More Creative

I wish someone could explain to me better about meaning of those Team Shape......that I struggle.

The most Perfect Match Engine(I know it is old and very dated but I love the game too much!) and Overall is FM 2010

2nd - FM 2017

3rd - FM 2013

4th - FM 2012

The only Weakness in FM 2010 is Youth System as most of them Half stars and I am not sure if the Youth system is better in FM 2011 or 2012 or 2013......

Touch pad keyboard works, just you HAVE to use the pad to go back and access menus etc. Be amazing if i could use the whole keyboard for the game, Any ideas of that being a realistic thing in the near future?

What the brand of the touch pad keyboard as I would love used that for mouse because Using joypad for football manager is awful and slow(when using mouse mode for joypad!) to be honest!

December 1, 2020

I have plugged the joypad by pressing mouse mode and also mouse back of it too then mouse pointer isnt there! sigh! well have lived with joypad using mouse mode anyway.

IF Anyone got mouse that is working for XBOX then please let me know what Mouse brand that you got.

cheers

As we said using a mouse is unsupported so we haven't really tested it. so there might be some oddities.

But what happens if you leave the controller plugged in? - there shouldn't be a need to remove it anyway

OK, I will checked it again and let you know

December 1, 2020

I bought the game, then I press my joypad to turn to mouse mode and mouse pointer is showing then I unplug my joypad and put my USB Mouse in then Mouse pointer is Gone......Why!?
