We have reached the day, FM24 full release day. And I’m nervous as hell! for the first time in a couple of years I’m actually enjoying the game… and this is entirely down to the Match Engine. I believe this is the way they intended last year but couldn’t achieve it. I genuinely feel immersed into what I’m watching, and I have never been able to say that with confidence. Ever. what I’m nervous about is the changes they make and how it will effect the Match Engine. It’s been that good that I feel it’s too good to be true and they break it for me. I truly hope not.

Agreed. Would’ve been much more aesthetically pleasing if they added the generated character/player/staff model to the seat. Even as a static model. Can understand if they wanted to hold back this ‘feature’ for a year or 2. But we’ve had these bland empty seats for multiple years now

Yes.

I have personally started my first full proper save. I haven’t noticed anything “save breaking”, but there are things that need a big patch. But it’s at least playable as a serious save, at least for me. I look forward to a significant update coming shortly. Or maybe I shouldn’t after last year?

It definitely does. I notice it every time. I have never received that question without making any changes at all.

Disappointing that in press conferences/pre-match interviews the journalist knows that a player role has changed before a game. The journalist (potentially AI managers?) essentially knows every tweak you’ve made to your tactic and even tell you when you’ve changed a player role before they’ve even kicked off. E.g. “can you tell me why x player appears to have been asked to play a different role in today’s game?” (Before the game). then I have to pretend like I haven’t changed anything… This kills immersion instantly.

Very skeptical about giving my thoughts out too early. But first impressions so far, and I have to say im enjoying the game a lot. My biggest focus has always been on the Match Engine, as for me, this is where immersion is won and lost for me. Last year, although it had many supporters, it wasn't for me and had recorded the lowest hours in over 10 years. This year, as long as nothing is ruined in the upcoming patches, I can see myself having a good time. Whilst I haven't gone into anything specific, ill just point a few things: Optimisation seems very good, no hiccups, feels sharp. Training, has been simplified, enjoying the new match preparation segment Overall Match Engine, new animations adds A LOT to the experience which looks and feels much more believable Tactics, so far, I can see translating the best i've seen it so far against any other iteration (HUGE). Transfers, so far, feels fair. Interactions also seem much more believable and understandable. I've noted more first impressions than I planned too. But I thought it's only right I say how I feel when things feel good. As opposed to just complaining when things don't. I hope I feel the same way after this honeymoon period is over lol...

Runs great on base M1 Pro

I thought I saw player condition next to their names in matches in one of the feature reveals. Is this possible or was I seeing things?

CHOO CHOO!

We will be there

I hope they are ready for me at approximately 5pm.

FM? I thought we were all just hear for the vibes

Couldn’t feel more aligned with this. It’s a bittersweet moment.

This thread. At this point. Brings unquantifiable amounts of love that this world needs at this point. At least for the next 12-24 hours.

Intercepts both and pushes it MYSELF!

That wording though. What’s the technical different between Beta and Early Access, should I be worried or excited?

Thanks team! call me over-sympathetic but this plays a huge factor in how I create the narrative in my head without feeling bad

Can someone please remind me - when you takeover a club, with a manager, when starting a new game does it sack the manager, or does the manager just ‘leave the club’?

Oh…….

I’m exhausted

It is what it is. It will be a thing of the past once released. Everyone knows that much.

Completely broken. Today was a twisted dagger.
