Hi all,
My first post here. This sub-forum is very inspiring, but I am getting depressed when seing everyone being so successful (I'm usually not).
Can you recommend any FMCU threads where things didn't go as planned? Are there any?

Just gonna apply for a refund from Xbox and shake hands with SI. We had a good run, but even those have to end at some point.
I'm trying not to spread negativity on this forum, but in this case you have my sympathy.

So on FM22 Xbox on PC you cannot:
- load tactics into the game
- apply filters into the game
- load more than 10 leagues
- use customization and fixes
It also keeps crashing and moving way way more slower than FM21 Touch... Wonder if 30 seasons is still a limit?
And yet they keep saying it is going to be the same experience... Embarrassing SI, but I only blame myself for caving and buying the @#$%.Yes, 30 seasons limit now also applies on the PC-version.

After 25 consecutive years of buying FM or CM each year, I've decided to just stick with FMT 2021.
I've been having a game with England which I plan to run for about 30 years, and then I'm going on a grand tour! Then I plan a very long game with my favourite club, using create a club to update the squad.
FM was the *only* computer game I played or bought each year, so I spent the money saved on a new football scarf 🥰
I'm still gutted by SI's decision, and their comms have been woeful, and have felt rather dismissive :-(.
My brother (father of two young kids, with a job) and FM player of 20 odd years recently gave up the game. He thought FMM was too simplistic and full fat FM too bloated.
I think SI have completely overlooked and neglected a vital demographic; older, loyal players who can only play less than 10 hours a week.
I am in the same boat as you and your brother. I recently decided that I will stick with FMT21 playing a 40-50 year career and then give up FM for the first time since the 90s. I bought a PC only to play FMT. I've had a look at FM22 too, but unfortunately I do not get the same feeling as with the FMT PC-version.

@Ricketts147
Have a look at the FM Touch forum, maybe your questions are already answered.

Yes it is personal. It must be allowed to question the marketing of the product as well. Maybe something could've been done differently? It is normal to learn from mistakes.

I don't really care for the beta.

The main issue I've encountered from others is with regards to being able to play on a tablet (myself included). It's literally pick up and play. Great for those 30 minute windows of peace and quiet, from an otherwise hectic world. It was the perfect fit for me and plenty of others.
If that's the case it explains how versatile FMT is/ has been.
It's a pity that we are not part of the 'wider FM community'.

I can appreciate that @Burbian De Bay but its very much opinion based. The biggest driving force for me switching, and why those press conferences and media interactions are still there - in FMT I never felt I could as a manager, manage the peaks and troughs in player performance. There was a lack of realism for me there because I couldn't use the press interactions and team talks to temper overconfidence or repair damaged morale.
Thanks. I appreciate your effort. Actually I'm already sold when it comes to 'full FM' and I hope my wife and kids will be too. I know it's not SI's fault that I don't have time for computer games, but I do get upset when 'the first one is free' and then they take it away. After almost 30 years with CM/ FM I've never complained about bugs, glitches, missing features and so on, but I do understand that people are frustrated now. However, I do also understand the aspect of the business and I'll do my best to be positive. When I first have to complain it is better to do it here than to yell at my wife, who probably thinks I'm spending too much time on FM anyways.
And I guess you are right; FMC is more difficult when team talk is 'missing'. The mid-season slump in can be a nightmare if you are not a tactical genius.
As said above; I'll give it a try and I hope I'll not get dissapointed. Thanks again.0 -

I'm loathe to encourage SI/contribute to them, but if spending £30 helps them realise that Touch is still wanted, so be it.
Agree. Please start marketing the product and take our money.

If you are a PC/laptop based player and do have some reservations about the speed of the main game, I would absolutely recommend trying the demo even if only for FM21 and the responsibilities. It slips under the radar since you don't interact with it often. Improvements on this front probably were one of the bigger things that let me move back across from FMT fully with FM21. Here's a snapshot of mine from my save in FM21:
Most of the media stuff I hand over to my assistant as well, just via the button in game, personally I just like the option to wade in with those from time to time.
That's fine and I appreciate the information, but many of us want to be responsible for all this ourselves. The good thing about FMC is that you can control all this in an easy way and it still feels realistic. If I should've been responsible for all this in 'full FM' I would simply not have had the time due to all details, and it doesn't feel realistic to let the assistant be responsible when managing in a lower league.

That's fine, as said you can pick and choose what you want your assistant to do. Want to manage training but not do press conferences? Easy to do.
Want to do press conferences but not team talks? Easy to do.
Want to handle all player and staff contracts except U18 staff? Easy to do.
We really do give the player lots of flexibility with staff responsibilities.
Thanks for replying. I'll give it a try.
I really hope that everyone else is finding a ideal solution too. As @Samelders says we're playing the game in different ways and I believe FMC was the perfect solution to please everyone.3 -

Definitely certain aspects within 'full' FM can be set to be handled by your assistant and staff through staff responsibilities.
Many of us want the game to be as realistic as possible. In lower leagues, setting the assistant to handle training is not realistic and it ruins the feeling of the game.
It feels like SI want to break up with me, but I refuse to end this relationship. I'll go where you take me, so 'full fat' here we come. I guess I'll spend a year on one FM-season, but at least FM will be on my mind on a weekly basis.
I'm still sad though, and I'm also extremely disappointed that these changes were not announced much earlier.1 -

Do Distribute to Centre Backs, Play out of Defence, and Work Ball into Box work well together or do they just provide sterile possession?
This may not be an answer to the question, but Distribute to Centre Backs only means that the centre backs drops deep when goalkeeper is distributing. I am using this togheter with Play out of Defense and Work Ball into Box when using a possession style of play, but if the opponent Prevents Short Goalkeeper Distribution it often leads panic and a long ball from my centre backs, so you'll need players that can handle the situation without hoofing the ball.
Here's Cleon's The Art of Possession Football (unfortunately without images), he is using the same TI's and also explaining why:

Thanks. I have been reading on these forum for years, but suddenly became unsure of how this works in the game.

Will lower line of engagement in some cases lead the opponents to be pulled higher up the field, making them more vulnerable for counter-attacks?

I have recently experimented with the Wide Midfielder role in a flat 4-4-2 formation. It is an incredible flexible role in my opinion. My WMa often acts like an IF, and it works very well when counter-attacking. Maybe WMd/s is what you are looking for?

This has been the first year for me since classic mode was introduced in FM13 that I have hardly played in on my laptop. For reference, I had over 1100 hours on this mode on FM20, but on FM21 I have less than 40 hours gameplay. The reason for this? The main game now zips along at the pace that classic mode always has. Saving is quicker, processing is quicker, so I've found myself not that motivated to play classic mode this year.
Which begs the question about the future of this mode on this platform. Clearly, it's been a big success on handheld devices, and I guess that's where they concentrate most of their efforts now. Could we see a time in the near future where the PC/Mac version simply goes away? Would be a shame if so, as I've loved this mode since FM13, but if they continue to improve the speed of the main game, will it still be required?
Thoughts?
Funny that you still insist on calling it Classic, which I agree is a much better name.
Personally, my life will be empty if FMT stops being supported on PCs. Pleased to hear SI's statement above!

I have been playing CM / FM since 1992 and this has to be the best version so far. Nice UI, an improved match day experience and a great match engine. The game also runs faster than previous versions. Brilliant job.

Passing Directness
On more attacking mentalities:
deeper players will pass shorter, to hold possession and feed the advanced attackers.
advanced players will pass more direct, to stretch the opponent and penetrate quickly.
On more defensive mentalities, it is the other way round:
deeper players will pass more direct, to exploit space behind opponents, and to get the ball away from the goal.
advanced players will pass shorter, to retain possession, and avoid needless turnover in possession.
Although this seems logical, it is completely new to me. If this is how it works, it may explain some of my frustration when the players are not doing what I want.
Great post, thank you!

I remember when I was 13 years old playing CM93, winning absolutely everything with Halifax. Now I am a bit older, and even though I go deep into the details of my FM Touch save game, I struggle when managing lower league teams. I usually get immediate success the first seasons, and then it goes downhill again. In my opinion the game is very well balanced.

Well done SI. Stay safe.

Thanks for replying. This is not a big deal of course, but thanks for helping anyway.

Is there a column that I can add in the squad screen that shows player traits?

I'm still playing FMT 21 on PC/ Steam, but considering forcing myself to full fat version in the future.
