Same here only games i play on PC myself are FM and PES 2020.
Would much rather a blog telling us about a feature with a video showcasing it than these twitter polls. Unless the polls are just to fill the gap before the 'bigger' announcements.
? We have had the big announcements.

Because they also know their user base, and more importantly, the fact that a large chuck of it tend to play considerably lower spec hardware than the average gamer. The fact that you can play FM on such relatively low specs, and thus almost anywhere is a) one of its unique selling points to said audience and b) one of the tradeoffs it makes for that user base. Of course they could aim for more, but that comes at a spec cost. And if the cost outweighs the gains, it's a non starter.
That doesn't make sense considering back on FM15 and others they had the options for the 3D in preferences to whether you wanted High Median or Low graphic content and Anti -Aliasing , Mesh , Shadows . So they can still make a high Graphic game and have options for lower machines to use

I wanted a stadium editor, they game me a tie clip, suit jacket buttons and laces for my shoes.
Reminds me of that Rafa Benitez quote about tables and lampshades when at Valencia
You need to buy Sim City for that .. This is a management sim

Almost a month late, but I feel the need to answer to this topic.
Stadium editor could be a major feature, if implemented in a decent way.
I mean, the database is likely to include info about what stadiums look like. Are they Olympic-style or just 4 stands around the pitch? Is it all covered or are there stands without any coverage?And then, as effects in-game (and I mean apart from the graphic appearance), where will the public be? Will they prefer a cheaper stand even when it rains, or will they sit in the covered VIP-stand? Different prices could be set between different stands.
When renewing or building a new stadium, the management could choose the style of the whole stadium.Or simply, think about lower league stadia. For instance, there are Italian Serie C or Serie D stadia with some 500-1000 people stands on one side only. Some have 2 stands, one of which is uncovered. I'd love to see that reflected in-game, and not seeing a small "perfect" stadium.
Eventually, stadium editor can actually bring Football Manager one step closer to realism - what's more, it's a feature that can be developed even from videogames that have 20+ years now!
I agree on most of these.
International Management is something that could be improved, but I've experienced it way few times.
I don't care too much of that - I personally still love Virtua Striker 2 and 3 - but I expect FM to costantly improve, even when it actually seems that it's not an upgraded DB and some slight UI change as I've seen in the past.
Cant believe he thinks the database editor is hardly use by majority of the fan base. ???? Guess he never goes to the editor section of this forum . Its huge

Frustration is not and has not, ever been an excuse for unconstructive posting and rudeness.
A shame you cant see it for what it is rather than focusing on one aspect of the post . Rudeness comes in all forms doesn't it ? Why don't you comment on his actual feelings about the game rather than saying its just rude ? . As a moderator you should be offering help and answers to his problems . Ok it was 5 months then but again you focused on one thing !! . What is wrong with a hotfix when clearly something is wrong with the game rather than waiting until the next instalment .

I understand why you would post in frustration... but this is not Twitter. This is not Reddit. While you're in the SI community, you are expected to post in a respectful and adult manner, and any criticism of the game should be constructive, not DEstructive. Frankly, there are too many people in this community who don't understand that.
I thought it was very constructive with some good points . FIX IT was a frustration but still has good points

As FrazT said in your other post, SI do read all requested features and look to add those that they like. Miles himself has identified several new features that were drawn on user feedback.
So you reckon EVERY new feature could have been added via a patch? So they could easily have patched the development centre and the playing time pathway into FM19 in March, for example? Okay, sure...
I would consider replying to the rest of your rant, but it would be next to pointless, seeing as your idea of constructive criticism is just to constantly shout in bold text, "FIX IT!!!!" If you changed your posting style, though, I'm sure we could discuss your criticisms in an adult and productive manner.
Cant you read frustration when you see it

Serious question, do the markers of this game actually even read requested features from these forums? I genuinely haven't seen a single idea on here be put on to the actual game. Pretty much every new feature that has been announced could have LITERALLY just been added to the game via an update. I'm tired of it, I've been loyal for years but I'm not spending money every year for a game that's pretty much the same as the previous year, except this year we can create a 'five-year plan'. Explain to me why half the features that have been announced, if not all of them, can't just be added to the game with an update? Is it greed? I keep hearing they like the game to realistic, then explain why many of the realistic aspects of the game have NEVER been fixed, improved or even added to the game? Instead they worry more about the background colour of the game, which groovy font they're going to use this year, adding even more questions to press conferences when in fact most players skip it altogether.
~ WHY has transfer deadline day still not been revamped after so long? I'm sure there is a way to make it as exciting as it is in real life. Why not have a live 60 minute clock ticking down without the need to press continue? If you take part of the transfer deadline you should feel UNDER PRESSURE to get a last minute signing. That's meant to be the whole idea of the transfer deadline. We could even have our inbox receving messages/offers/replies in REAL time. For example, you bid on a player, then between 1 to 60 minutes later (in real time) the club responds to your bid. Agents sending you messages, players demanding loan moves, everything should feel HECTIC on deadline day. Don't tell me that's not possible because we had the live coundown in the fantasy draft, so there's no reason why it can't implemented in career mode. 'Take Part or Decline' has been the same for years. It's dull, boring and brings no excitement. A live clock ticking down will give you that feeling that you need to hurry up and buy someone. This literally happens in real life. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY can't you just change the way Al managers bid on your players, because whenever I try to sell a player all of the AI managers will offer me the exact same amount. It's like the AI managers all contact each other before they place the exact same on my player, for example, I'll try to sell a player and amazingly I'll receive about 11 offers all the same (even clubs from different countries) £4.6 million plus 15% sell on fee, and £500,000 after the player has played 20 games. You would think the makers of this game would have noticed this and changed it to be a little more realistic. A different variety of offers isn't too much to ask for and it's something that's easily fixable. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY can't you add more details in international management because it literally hasn't changed since 2007. In fact, we've lost more features in international management if anything. WHY training doesn't exist in international management I'll never know. Players don't stop training when they go on international duty. I remember I had a World Cup save, but I couldn't reach past the quarter finals because all my players fitness were between 50-70% as I was unable to train them or rest them, but the players from other nations were all at 99-100% because AI managers were able to train them I assume, or after a match they automatically went to full fitness. Just ruins the game for me when something like that is again easily fixable. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY do my back up players keep demanding game time? The player signed a contract as a back up player. So why is he demanding I play him? I'll play him when I want. If anything, back up players should be requesting loan moves to get game time, or be happy to play when picked, why sign a back up contract if they're going to demand game time every 2 months? FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY can you only 'shout' once every 15 minutes in match time? In real life managers can shout at their players whenever they want, not once every 15 minutes. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY is there no real relationship between you and your coaches?
~ WHY is there no pep-talk before a penalty shootout? Like REAL managers, I want to be able to tell my players to relax, good luck, ignore the crowd taunting or tell them not to let the nerves get to you etc. Just what happens in real life, managers hyping up their players. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY do players not put themselves forward for taking a penalty, or players deciding they don't want to take a penalty due to nervousness etc? Again, these things happen in real life. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY can't I force my senior players to train with the Under 20's if I feel they have a bad attitude or not performing to their standards, or making countless mistakes during games, or disrupting team unity, not letting them back into the squad until they've apologised to the squad. Discipline in this game needs to be expanded. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY hasn't a substitution icon on the proccessing tab during the match been added by now? There's already a little yellow/red card whenever a foul takes place, and a little football when a goal is scored, complete the set and just add a little red and green substitution icon, then we can hover it and it can show you which player has come on and which player has gone off, rather than having to go to player ratings to see when the other manager has made subs. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY after so many years can you still not let us use our salary? What's the point in giving me a salary if I can't do anything with it? Why not let us use our salary for things that real life managers would actually have to pay for. I don't know, let me see, maybe, paying for your coaching badges from your salary? Paying to actually go on holiday (pay a small amount to go on holiday for a certain amount of days. If you go on holiday for even longer, weeks/months then you need to pay even more out of your salary) pay for language courses if you're working in another country, you could make personal assistants in the game actual functioning staff and managers could hire or fire their own personal assistants (PA) there's many things we could do with salary's. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY are we allowed to hire/fire Directors of Football? What's the point in working with a Director of Football if you can hire or fire them whenever you want? Since when were managers allowed to hire/fire Directors of a football club? The board/chairmen decide this, not the manager. Managers DON'T run the whole club. Yes, I know you can turn this option off under the staff responsibilities, but it shouldn't be an option to begin with, period. Managers should only be allowed to suggest to the board that they fire a DoF or hire one, that's it. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY are players that get their debut or those that are trying to break in to the first team still looking 'complacent' or feeling 'complicated' surely they should be feeling proud, grateful, or see it as an opportunity to show off their skills. When do you ever see a player making his debut saying he felt 'complicated' and 'worried' they're always bursting with pride. FIX IT!!!!
~ WHY after so many years in a FOOTBALL MANAGER game can a club just pick up another manager as if that manager literally wasn't contracted to his previous club? If another club wants you as their manager but you're still under contract with your current club why isn't the board allowed to reject or accept the other clubs request for wanting you. We're missing a step in this process, the clubs need to start negotiating with each other. Clubs in real life can't just contact a manager from another club while he's under contract and the chairman/board of the original club get no say, they have to allow the manager permission to speak to the new club. Of course you can just resign if they reject another clubs approach for you, but these things happens in real life. If the club rejects the offer, and you're unable to talk to the other club, then you can offer an ultimatum, resign or discuss your demands if you're to stay. Chairmen in this game need WAY more power, because right now it feels as if the manager runs the whole club. I want to feel like I have a boss as well. FIX IT!!!!
But never mind fixing all the realism aspects of the game, we have new recyclable packaging guys, yayyy! (even though the majority of customers purchase through stream thus making the packaging entirely pointless for those that buy it online.) Forget about concentrating on making the game incredible and a huge milestone for 2020, lets just SAVE THE FISHES with our new recyclable packaging, yayyy! Such a disappointment so far this year, absolute claptrap. It's just an updated Football Manager 2019, except unlike other updates, you have to pay £40 for this one.Cam bet you 100 pound that many of the bugs from FM19 don't get fixed in FM20 as they didn't get fixed in FM19 from FM18 or FM17 . I agree that its becoming the same old thing every year with releases . Features taken out and adding so called new features that are just morphed into a new screen . Unfortunately with no real competition anymore with the demise of FIFA Manager there is no one to push them to make a better product . EA SPORTS and KONAMI push each other each year to make a better product .
In my opinion the game has become stagnant and boring . Its probably ok for newcomers as they have no comparison but for gamers who have bought this game since Championship Manager days etc its losing its way a bit ( my opinion )
We just don't want new features either as we want refinement of the features that are already there . How about Hotfixes for this game as they don't seem to exist ????? Yes we get upgrades but only up to 3 months after the release then its wait till next year in hope they get fixed !!!!
I would like to see a review by a gaming website that isn't reviewed just after its release but say 6 months after for a more accurate account of the game .
Don't get me wrong ( Moderators ) I love this game but the future , for me anyway , with this franchise is looking dim .
Its demo for me this year and that will be a first

It's now 3 weeks before the release of the game, yet we have had no mention of the crucial issues that dog these threads.
No mention of Match Engine or AI concerning transfers. It's an issue SI. We've had some snippets of screen shots and some random mention of a few added extras that, let's face it, are rule changes rather than features.
The headline stuff is hardly ground breaking. I've preordered. Because I'm an fm junky. But to snare the casual or newbie, the hype and media has been rubbish.
We have Miles chucking us a picked clean bone of info and making us work for it on Twitter.
It's really no suprise that there is so much negativity on these threads pregame release, because of the lack of information.
I think if we are expected to fork out the best part of thirty quid, we deserve more than better coloured faces on our management profile as a new feature.
4 weeks and 3 days till November 4th ?

I would agree that a lot of people are not bothered about the 3D graphics and that the management aspect of the game is the thing, one of the most realistic simulation games is Flight Simulator where the core of the game is using the controls to fly a plane, but the graphics in that game are stunning and really add something to the game.
Well that's the past and I think a lot of people do care about the graphics . It's nearly 2020 and we expect more . If you are going to advertise realism them you got to deliver it . If watching dots running around a green screen is your thing then thats fine but I want realism not pretendism

The travel aspect could be included too . More so in the USA and AUSTRALIA etc where distances can be vast . Perth Glory do a 8 hour one way trip and a 9 hour return flight to Wellington , New Zealand for a match as Wellington do to Perth . Must take it's toll on match day and the following week .

Not sure why this is a bad thing? A lot of games offer a pre-order discount, for a start. Also, you can still get the refund if you're not happy. There are also plenty of times where FM goes on sale, so there's still a choice if you don't want to pre-order.
No you cant get a refund because you just are not happy . Point was is they dangle that carrot to get early sales as if the game was a flop they got money in the bank

Ok that's your opinion I respect that you're happy with it.
My opinion is that's not a proper way to treat the fanbase, especially the game is old enough to have some 20+ years loyalty fans
Plus they dangle the carrot that's 10% cheaper if you buy it before it's release .

Just saw this poll and wow thats some proof how good FM 19 actually is. People tend to be critical about the latest version and still its by far the winner of this vote.
Look at the poll one year ago. FM 18 came in only in third place. Just 12% voted for it.
Now FM 19 is the clear winner with 27%. Well deserved.
This poll was done 3 months after the release ? Cant remember when the 19,3 update was but I bet some votes have changed . I find people generally vote for the latest as it offers more . With FM12 and FM17 taking a big chunk of votes that that's an impressive reflection that a lot of players think that FM19 isn't as good as it should be by now . FM20 is the very last chance of a decent game since FM17 for me . Demo only this year until I decide

I think most people expect way too much. I'd like nicer graphics - I still think the regens/faces etc are horrible but the animations on pitch will (and have tbf) undoubtedly improve year on year. I'd also like better interactions but the tech just isn't there yet.
Be thankful your defenders dont do this:
https://reddit.app.link/VCrUO1xS8Z
Come to think of it, has FIFA or PES improved at all since about 2014?
It's certainly a quirk when defenders seem to back off when they are clearly in front of the chase or a lot closer to the ball . This is why people bring up the scripting issue

Really this is a point for not buying the game?
The pitch textures that went downhill after FM17 when the War Hammer Developers got involved . Yet they introduce it as a new feature . I find after buying this game since FM09 that this is what they seem to do . They take out features then reintro them as new features years down the track . Spray on chalk ? Where did that go ? No word on stadium upgrades or the backgroubd scenery . If it's tall buildings in the background again ill be peed off . It's just the demo for me this year and that will be a first . Im expecting a real change this time in this area as its the year 2020 not 1990 graphics .
