It's one of rare instances when the fact SI don't fx many of their bugs is useful.

Yes, but I wasn't talking about players choosing a relegated Aston Villa over a newly-promoted Blyth Spartans. Players literally choose bottom CH/top L1 sides with little prospect of ever reaching the top flight over a newly promoted PL teams (whose rep hasn't caught up)

This has been a HUGE problem for YEARS and you're only third or fourth person I've seen mention it. When you overachieve too much and get promoted too quickly (God forbid back-to-back promotions), your reputation doesn't update sufficiently and players still regard you as a club from a division or two below. It's perfectly normal to win promotion with a tiny non-league club to the PL and in your first season in the elite division you have to sign players from League 1 and bottom Championship clubs, because players don't see you as a PL club yet. Many CH players won't even talk to you or look at your money. The same applies to other nations, as well, not just England, btw.

In 2017, just before FM 18 release, I bought a brand new PC that could run top AAA games on ultra settings. FM 18, however, ran like absolute garbage, I had to run it on medium settings to get 30 FPS in matches. When I (and many others) complained here, we were to told to update our drivers. I sh*t you not, that was a stock reply we all got.

The amount of unaffiliated people defending a company which released a bad product is unbelievable. What's worse is that it's not just this forum or this game, but gaming industry in general. Absolutely mind boggling.

Got my hopes up thinking it could come on PC, too.

In relation to the above, has anyone tried to simulate the Touch experience on full fat version? I'm thinking delegating all press conferences, training, team talks, backroom staff contracts etc., subscribing to the least possible amount of news items, using continue time-out... I wonder what's the speed like? Does the AI assistant handle all those things above competently?

That's me in a nutshell. Either a) I'm stuck with an outdated version playing FMT 21 for as long as I can tolerate it. Unfortunately, FMT has never been popular enough to get unofficial database updates like full fat version gets. b) I force myself to play full fat with a maximum amount of delegating stuff to the assistant + using continue timeout (which I use on FMT anyway) c) I never play any FM version ever again. All three options are bad.

Now that we're near the end of the cycle, how many of you regular FMT players on PC have stuck with the Xbox PC 22 version and played it in any significant length? Does it have a future or we're doomed to FMT 21 or forcing ourselves to full fat version?
