General comment, but what's the point of this thread when 9/10 questions are never answered?

I barely played FM21 (season timing, covid stuff etc put me off) and with FM22 I still haven't exceeded 1,000 hours. Whilst this is a massive milestone for any annual game, I am at 850~ hours and since I do other things whilst FM is on or leave the game on (and the pc of course) while I'm at work, this could very well be less than 300 hours. Fm20 I had a little less than 2k hours. I used to average over 2.5k hours with fm 16 being the game I almost logged 4k hours with. Reason I didn't go for it was it felt too similar with FM22 which I consider a broken game that was never fixed and was worrying that the likeness would also affect the game since they weren't addressed. The editor for example is still completely broken and I'm not a fan of the UI as I kept spotting bugs from the beta that were never fixed. My interest is trending downwards and it has nothing to do with saturation from playing since the late 90s since I'm more than happy to replay older versions. Game needs a revamp but sales suggest otherwise so SI is in an awkward position.

Now that the game is out, how many of those who said weren't going to buy caved and bought it? What did the undecided people do? And what about the 'features brigade'? Do people who said Yes recommend to FM22 players to go ahead and change versions? This is the first time I genuinely have no regrets for not buying and glad I installed FM16 rather than hitting that purchase button last week, but I'm interested in hearing the opinions of those who wanted to buy the game and would still recommend it as the Feedback thread is filled with negativity, whilst the Steam page is filled with ultra positivity, so I need a more neutral space to decide if I'm going after the game after all before Christmas.

@LeoFM nice work. Can you give show us the winners of the main competitions? World Cup, Euro, continental cups and big five leagues?

Yeah it's absurd to consider it inadequate. Probably one of the most capable airports out there.

Should I be hyped about this? I almost don't even care. And I just realized today that I have booked a flight on the day of the final and not even sure if I'll arrive on time to catch it.

Not sure what to expect, but the breaking point for me was the broker Editor that remained broken over the course of the year. No idea what assurances we can get that this will be fixed, but it's the bare minimum that should have been done from day 1 and it's been almost 300 days with no proper fix. The UI needs an overhaul which we're not getting evidently. At least something that won't be full of glitches. Not sure what I can see that will sway me to prepurchase.

This used to be the answer but ever since I noticed it some 15+ years ago I use the editor to remove one of them because some glitches appeared and I don't like the slim odds of them resurfacing again. Such as both teams playing at home at the same time, stadium used at the same time in general (ie i was playing a cup semi and the stadium with the other name was hosting some competition).

I miss the times where PC only meant computer.

Why would UEFA be against this when their main source of income, ie Champions League, is funded indirectly by this kind of regimes?

Preferred moves usually is the giveaway

Most likely no. If the UI remains unchanged, definite no. If I see some effort to revamp the game I'll probably support it.
