yep 100% I'll need it to update my site and for the benchmarking thread. Might get to play it at some point too

Its what I've always done, never had any issues. Quick and simple.

First thing is getting a couple of days off work or "working from home" as I like to tell the wife. Random LlaMa picked team as always and then dive right in and play the same game until FM24 comes out. In terms of transferring graphics etc over I just rename the FM22 documents folder to FM23 and crack on

Spreadsheet Updated LINK 2nd post updated with screenshots split into Benchmarks and platform. Big thanks to everyone who has tested, we are only 19 tests short of last years total so tell your friends and neighbours to get testing!

Chin up Joe, there will be light at the end of the Dartford tunnel

Cracking scores here mate from what is basically a budget build. The fact that you can run High graphics on a 1030 shows you don't need to break the bank. Your i3 also outscores nearly every processor that isn't Intel 12th gen on Benchmark A. For a £100 processor that is crazy.

It's one of my preferred ways of playing

Good ideas thanks Jolyon

I'll be updating the spreadsheet tomorrow and I'll definitely be doing the benchmarks for FM23. I'll most likely keep the benchmarks the same unless anyone has any ideas for something different?

Thanks for the benchmark, never too late, all helps, especially as you have a Mac Studio No need to do more than one run, i've tried that myself in the past and it tends to only be a second difference, if that.

Superb timings, thats a beast of a laptop

I'd say your playing it about right, I usually go with my gut in these instances

Worth mentioning that full detail is always used for the league you are currently managing in

I think you are right with regards to most managers not being involved in transfers, other than to maybe hand the board a list of targets that would fulfil what they are after. The issue with having this as a club vision is that it would take a lot of the fun out of the game. What most people enjoy most about FM is squad building. Having said that at lower levels the manager is much more likely to be involved at all levels of the transfer process. I think the current system is probably about right in that you can delegate transfers to the Chairman/DOF if you wish. I think there is definitely a conversation to be had about how best to go about this in a realistic way

No worries buddy

Try verifying the integrity of the game files From the Steam Launcher, right-click on the game from the Library and select Properties from the menu. Select the Local files tab and click Verify integrity of game files... Steam will verify the game's files.

I'll be updating the spreadsheet this week

I've achieved just one promotion (England 6th tier) in 15 seasons and I've now got that status. So my guess is that it's heavily weighted towards longevity

Detail level is always a killer on processing times. You have to find a compromise. This thread may help

Benchmark your PC via this thread and compare it to other similar processors. You will then be able to see if the performance you are experiencing is normal

As above but just on high graphics. You can put it on very high if you are only viewing key highlights, any more than that and it will stutter due to thermal throttling

I'm good mate, all benchmarks are valuable. Thanks for taking the time

yep

Whichever folder comes first alphabetically

I'd love to see how your M2 benchmarks if you have the time
