Over the last few years, it's been between 4pm and 8pm.

At this point, it's really hard to say whether any integrated GPU will be enough. We don't have any indication yet on what the system requirements will be for FM25. If you're buying now and are thinking FM25 and beyond, then your safest bet is going to be buying a gaming laptop. However, we do know that the 2D view will still be available in FM25, so that should help at least as long as people don't mind using the 2D view.

They have said it's improved, so here's hoping! It was definitely half-baked in FM23.

The very same!

I'm not sure which antics you're referring to, to be honest! I've struggled to keep up with the thread between work and illness!

I remember him. What a joy he was. In fact, he'd have really hated this GIF:

That goes into my point with the buyers protection thing for issues with any purchased keys.

It's fine as a portable option for FM23/FM24, but can't say how it will fare when it comes to FM25 as we don't have an indication of what the system requirements will be yet. It is however considerably overpriced in terms of its spec. You could get a much more powerful gaming laptop for a lower price than you'd pay for this.

Very unlikely. Unity will just bring in a new CEO without the stench of bad PR connected to him/her.

The real answer would for there to be more than three tactics slots, even if the game only trains the team for the tactics in slots 1 to 3. But, having the squad planner tied to the tactics screen actually makes sense in most cases. There's no point in planning for players in the AM position if you're playing a flat 4-4-2 for example.

This is really not true. A number of the larger digital game sales platforms are questionable - especially the ones that will list several sellers when looking up a specific game. These are known as grey market resellers. Not strictly illegal, but they seem to do minimal checks as to where people obtained the keys they're selling so when buying the keys there's a chance they were sourced illegally. Ask youself, why would these sites need to sell, at an extra cost, a "buyer protection" in case there's a problem with the key? CD Keys are included in that bracket, along with other large players such as Kinguin, G2A and Allkeyshop. Your best bet for checking a site is 100% legitimate, is checking Publisher sites for authorised retailers. Or, if you want a quick way to look, any site listed at https://isthereanydeal.com/ is 100% legitimate and not a grey market reseller.

It's within the max safe temperature for the i5-6267U, which as far as I can tell is the CPU in that machine. But it is an old CPU now and FM will put that CPU under a fairly heavy load so you will see the CPU reaching temperatures at the higher end of what it can handle. Based on what I can find, it can handle up to 100 degrees celcius but you obviously don't want it getting too close to that for sustained periods. If it's staying around 85 for the most part, you should be fine even with some peaks up closer to 90.

It was the best overall deal I could find in terms of specs vs price, looking at Argos, Currys, Box, AO and Very. Although the system requirements are an unknown for FM25, I can't imagine them increasing too drastically as SI have always tried to make the game playable on a wide range of hardware, so based on what I expect the system requirements to look like, this laptop should have be fine for FM25. And yeah, this will handle basic stuff like MS Office apps without a problem.

If you already have the key and it's in your Steam account it *should* unlock on Beta day but I couldn't 100% swear to it.

Random Mr Bean gif.

Do you already have the game in your Steam library?

You could get something with basically the same spec (aside from the display) for £700: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3268753?clickPR=plp:1:20

FM25 is a complete unknown really, but I would suggest a dedicated graphics card to be on the safe side. Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Medion-Erazer-Crawler-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B08L55KL2D/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1696958468&refinements=p_n_feature_eighteen_browse-bin%3A27370276031%2Cp_n_feature_twenty-four_browse-bin%3A27399086031|27399087031%2Cp_n_feature_thirty_browse-bin%3A66003145031&rnid=66003062031&s=computers&sr=1-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.23648568-4ba5-49f2-9aa6-31ae75f1e9cd

I'd go for this: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/asus-vivobook-15-x1500ea-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i5-512-gb-ssd-black-10240161.html

Yep, fine for FM24,
