Not sure of the top of my head but on steam deck, every game has a controller set up, and you can download ones made by the community. It's before you open the game I think

It's odd SI have saying the world is dynamic for 4? Versions now but it's really not

This reminds me of all the times I build a gaming pc. Whack a whopping GPU in and just play FM lol. 1440p is perfect for FM

I have some. Took around 18 months+ to start appearing

Agreed. Not used an antivirus for 8 years or so and have no issues. I used malware bytes to run a scan once a month but that's it. Anti virus software is bloated and outdated now

I have been playing FM 24 on the steamdeck and had no issues. I play it on my desktop too using the cloud save. Works great. Just make sure you give steam time to upload/download the save before and after playing. I downloaded a community controller set up. Not sure how different it is to the default but it works great. I actually prefer playing it on the deck. The only downside is I purchased the deck 25 days ago. So was like 10 days outside of the returns period and missed out on the OLED 😞 That said, the screen is fine as it is. Haven't really played any other games on it, although I imagine the likes of Hades will be brilliant on it

Probably something to do with how the matches are simulated in your league compared to others. It's something that should have been balanced out if there is an issue though

Well said. Not sure why some users are being so argumentative. You signed a player for £16m. You developed him and he has proved his worth. £16m should be the minimum a team is offering. £1.2m is like you say, laughably low. Not sure how some people defend this when you have made a valid point. The fact you are a small club in a league with low rep is irrelevant in this instance due to the development and historical fee of the player

Good post and I agree with your point. However one look at Knaps tactics sheet and the game tactics are heavily skewed to fast paced attacking play again, so you are always at a disadvantage if playing defensive

According to the announced features it was supposed to be better but it's not improved. I get the impression the ME is as good as they can get it, and any big changes have negative knock on effects, so not much changes each version Here's hoping FM 25 with a new engine is an improvement on things like this.

You have probably downloaded it to your "downloads" folder on your C drive. When you go into "load tactics" on the tactics page in game. Navigate to your downloads folder and it should be in there

This seems to be a common theme. Hopefully SI look at this and realise what made these games special

Agreed. Simulation Games are a balance of fun and realism. The press and player interactions are not fun (or even realistic)

Side note. I think Total war will all be about the franchise's now and the historical ones will be left for a decade or so. Now Warhammer is over, I wouldn't be surprised to see LOTR, Game of thrones or even Stormlight archive get the Total war treatment

Yeh the purple theme of the last few years is a real bad look. The greens and blues of years gone by were great. (Thank goodness for custom skins)

Sounds like you have a personal issue with Rodrygo tbh instead of finishing attributes. Son is a decent finisher, but 16 is more than fair. He averages probably around 15 league goals a season and has always had planty of chances alongside Kane. Compare that to say Salah who averages around 20+ league goals a season. Sons 16 only leaves 4 attribute points for Salah who is clearly a much better finisher. So Sons 16 is more than fair, if not too much

Yeh I think FM could learn a lot from CK3. Some good shouts here

Started with CM99. Peaked at I think 08. The series for me has been on a steady decline since. The match engine is clearly better and some nice additions, but the overall game has become too "sim" and less "transfers and tactics". Obviously the media and press side is tragically bad and the UI is far too bloated. FM touch was a return to the glory days before they removed it from PC. 23 was the first version I didn't buy in 23 years (I technically did but refunded it) Have been playing 24 on Steamdeck and its ok but still yearning for a change in direction from SI. Hoping the big changes in 25 will bring that. I don't care for graphics (play 2d) and just want them to realise what makes the games fun and focus on that instead of tedious stuff for the sake of it

I can only think that SI are doubling down on their design decision. It's universally disliked by the community but they don't seem to ever change or remove it

It's not worse. There's a deep dive somewhere that shows F1 Manager is absolutely awful under the hood and player choices and interaction's are almost pointless. It's pretty much and Idle game. Motorsport manager was similar to a degree but at least the tyre choices had an impact etc. The sad thing was the Devs of F1 manager 22 (frontier?) said it couldnt be fixed but community modded it and got it almost to a good level, and yet the Devs still denied it.

FM touch was the answer. It's such a shame they got rid of it. More and more players, (of a similar era to you, myself included) where moving over too it as the current full fat version is too bloated and tedious in places. FM classic/Touch was all the good stuff of FM with all the boring stuff streamlined

Just a side note. F1 manager is terrible. It looks good, but the management and simulation side is virtually non existent. Even tyre changes do virtually nothing. It's essentially. Race. Get XP/Money, invest, Repeat. You can win the title in your first season easy with any team.

I've heard this feature like AI transfers is broken still unfortunately. Regardless of importing saves

Yeh it's a real mess currently. You can have like 12 different answers in big squares all over the screen and even some off it. What happened to just having them in a list

I'm 2 seasons in and had 7 injuries spread across my starter and backup GK.
