Bought this game on sale a few weeks ago. Played one season and I feel mugged. Worth half of what I paid tbh. This is, for me, probably one of the worst FM I’ve played. Been playing since early 90s. I’d not recommend this FM version to anyone considering buying it. Not releasing anymore patches or fixes is at best ignorant. A well deserved.

Got to agree with the OP. Got to say, for me, this is probably one of the worst versions of FM I've every played. And I've been playing since the early 90s. So glad I came to my senses and stopped buying this game at full price.

@knap Do I understand you correct that 160 = Top side, 140 = Mid-table and 120 = Underdog? What is the difference between the two tabs: ME 23.3 FM 23.3 and ME 23.2 HUB TEST?

@knap Looking for a tactic for Newcastle Update 23.4.0+1809861 (m.e v23.2.0.0). Playing with first window shut. Been looking at the OP and your Google Sheet but have a hard time understanding the CA rating you give teams. Thank you

Dear Knap, I just wanted to reach out and acknowledge the incredible contribution you have made for so many years. I don't know how you have managed to become so incredibly good at making all sorts of tactics. It's nothing short of remarkable! In all honesty, without such kind and dedicated tacticmakers, I'd shelfed Football Manager many years ago. The game has become far too complex and difficult for someone like me to comprehend. The early 2000s was more my sort of game. Believe me, I've spent (actually; wasted) endless hours on Youtube, google and this forum trying to master the art of tactics. The more I tried, the more I failed! Anyway, I hope you never stop making and sharing tactics with us. THANK YOU! Oh, and that Echo-tactic (amongst the top) in your Google sheet has my Newcastle team* top EPL after 15 games. I've yet to lose! *Disabled first transfer window and playing with the orginial squad.
