Is Playing FM Touch Fake/Cheating?
Spikey replied to FMunderachiever's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
This was where I got to then my first game on Classic I got 25 seasons in as it focused just on tactics and squad building which were the bits I was interested in. I was always terrible at the man management side so almost the complete opposite! Developing players was difficult in the early Touch versions but this has definitely been improved of late. I always buy the full version every year and give it a try just to keep up to date with the new features. I may one day return to full FM when I have a bit more time and don’t want to be completely lost when I do! -

I play touch for exactly the reasons you do. If it didn’t exist I wouldn’t play FM anymore. From the point of view of creating tactics I actually think it’s far better as you don’t have to worry about familiarity affecting things so you can tweak as much as you like. ultimately it’s just a game. As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters surely. -

So when you win it’s the game manipulating the result and when you lose it’s the game manipulating the result. What behaviour are you expecting exactly? -
New owner in these settings?
Spikey replied to Novem9's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
Clubs in Germany must be majority controlled by fans under the 50+1 rule, hence the member only ownership type. This pretty much prevents takeovers in the way you’d see in other countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/50%2B1_rule -
FM 21 Touch, price?
Spikey replied to Finknottle's topic in FM Xbox Edition and FM Touch General Discussion
FM Touch should just be listed in your game library alongside full FM. Sounds like you’re looking at the store page. -
is the game coming out in 2 hours?
Spikey replied to Takzuke's topic in FM Xbox Edition and FM Touch General Discussion
Downloading right now! Had to restart Steam to make it show up. -
I created a very attacking gegenpress style 4-2-3-1 tactic in FM 14 and it was definitely more effective than any tactic I’d used previously. In FM20 I actually found a bog standard 4-4-2 with a split block more effective than gegenpress. Was more solid defensively and because it created less chances it was also less frustrating not having watch strikers pea roll loads of shots at the keeper.

Advice graphics card please
Spikey replied to Defensive's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
The 1650 will be considerably better than integrated. Ask in this thread lots of good advice: https://community.sigames.com/topic/530852-fm21-new-pclaptop-advice-thread-please-read-opening-post-before-posting/ -
End of season slump, every year
Spikey replied to epicrecruit's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
+1 for this. I used to struggle with bad form at the end of the season and I managed to avoid it by rotating players a bit more through the season and also lowering training intensity as the season progressed. I also try to give the whole squad a couple of days off occasionally. This combination definitely helped. -
Fm Touch 2020 available for iPhone?
Spikey replied to Cahill90's topic in FM Xbox Edition and FM Touch General Discussion
I suspect if anyone had answered the same questions repeatedly as many times as @Lucas they might occasionally get a tad frustrated. Either way aiming terms like condescending at someone who provides a lot of help on this forum is only going to lead to them not bothering anymore. There should probably just be a big FAQ sticky thread to refer these questions to.
