I just thought I would keep them all in one place. I am only Match, POF and Badoo now and also Facebook Dating recently. Obviously Lockdown has put a halt to my dating life at the moment but I am concerntrating on other things like finding somewhere better to live, losing weight and then trying to pass my CBT so I can get a moped. I barely think about women these days.

Mate, sort all those things out and you'll be beating them off with a stick after lockdown!

I was more worried about people noticing I got a folder solely for dating websites on my browser lol.

 

I married someone from a dating website (and not a good one, plenty of fish), so no judgement here!

Can I be a dick and say if I win that the money goes to a different hospice? The one that cared for my mum? @Weezer

Pretty sure the only dick move would be keeping the money.

Decided to go with 2 prizes of £15 so as not to dilute the already meagre prize fund too much, £10 doesn't get you much these days  

Pop in me there.

Donate it to the hospice if I win, and I'll match it. Already donated, but wins must be celebrated. Not sure I need to explain that to a Wednesday fan.

Thanks for highlighting this Neil, I've kept out of Weezer's 'look at me' thread, so wouldn't have known otherwise.

Pretty sure this is a payment to the player to reflect taking a lower wage.

But something changed, I watch my matches in comprehensive both Beta and after. I can see the changes.

I often wonder if that's the difference, I also watch in comprehensive, and see a huge difference. I could probably enjoy the game more on key, but I don't feel like I really see how my team plays that way, even more so this year that the statistics are locked in a heavily guarded safe.

I know you've said that you don't care what SI say, but when the guy who runs development for the match engine says nothing was changed within the match engine bar referee/VAR/goalkeeper errors, and defenders playing slightly more narrower against 3 striker formations, that's all he changed.

If you're honestly at the point of not believing the guy who develops the ME, you might as well refund, to be perfectly honest, because you're not going to trust anything any of us say, making any further discussion pointless and you're just going to get angry at us telling you that things weren't changed.

I also play a low tempo, short passing possession based 4-2-3-1 formation, using central play and underlaps, and my players play that way in the ME and win me games mostly with through ball assists through the centre, so I know full well from personal experience that those aren't broken. I'm not going to say you're seeing things that aren't there, but I'd definitely suggest reviewing what instructions you're giving your players in the tactics.

Jordan, I know you are doing your job, but telling us the match engine hasn't changed is just coming across as disingenuous, and I know you aren't. The game is different from the beta. I loved the beta, it was unrealistic as hell, but it felt like SI were trying to move away from what we've been seeing the last few years. With the full release, it's back to what has turned me off the past few years, I wouldn't even have bought it if it hadn't been so cheap at Shopto.

If SI are saying nothing has changed in the match engine, that is worrying, because something has changed the game completely, and if the developers don't know what it is, it's hard to trust them to fix it.

Didn't play FM20 until March (I am a Covid-convert) so I missed all the 'fun' of early patches and hotfixes.

Bugs aside, should the league DBs be pretty solid at initial release? Was thinking of picking a 2nd tier continental club and would hope I wouldn't have to worry about needing to update various squads and the like.

Lots of people play a long term save from the beta database, never mind release, so I wouldn't overthink it and just go ahead and start your game.

Somewhere out in FM World, a certain 5'5 inch Argentinian 15 year old Second Striker with 20 for dribbling has just re-genned.

And a mysteriously glowing hand.

[12th with newcastle , lost my job due to takeover ( whats your experience? )]

I was under the impression that it was coded in a few years back you would always at the very least get a set period of time to impress the new owners, and would never just be sacked immediately on takeover. Was that changed?

I never realised Donald Trump posted here, I guess he has time on his hands for FM now.

I've just started season and feel like I'm getting way more injuries than I should be players out for two months as I've just started my save. 

Injuries don't happen on a convenient timetable unfortunately. FM has traditionally had fewer injuries than real life, but the beta was hugely unrealistic from what I've experienced. The increase in the full release can only really be judged over a longer period of time than twelve odd hours, but still seems generous to me.

also anyone else feel there getting a lot more injures today?

Yes, thankfully. Almost non-existant for me in beta, especially in-match injuries.

[Football Manager 2021 Official Feedback Thread]

Just had three bids come in for a player, and all three were radically different in terms of money up front, clauses and add ons. Nice change from receiving identical bids and just clicking accept or reject for them all, I actually had to look at all three and carefully consider which was best.

Pretty sure the game wants you to change that shirt and shoes combo before letting you play.

Right, you honestly do not believe that French League 1 players that play well don't get a 'League 1' penalty because of the quality of the league? The only way these players can get their attributes bumped is by either being incredibly hyped (Camavinga) or move to PSG or abroad. It's irrelevant how often a Lille researcher sees a Lille player because there will always be this penalty applied.

Nonsense, he was coming up against the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, Ben Yedder, Aouar etc last year, and would have been set accordingly.

[[England Premier Division] Data Issues]

Yes, 'some random researcher for Lille', who would have seen a lot more of him than you.

Are you aware that you're coming across like a spoiled child?
