ZBOX Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi, Just a few questions regarding the Nintendo switch version Is there a physical edition or is it digital only ? (I have done some research but unable to find anything so I'm assuming it's digital only which is a shame) In terms of the leagues you can set up is it similar to football manager mobile ? For example Premier to league 2 Seria A and B La liga 1 and 2 Bundesliga 1 and 2 Could I have that league set up above ? And if so, is the speed of the game ok ? Even if after 20 season or so ? I don't own a switch just yet, but seriously thinking about buying one for football manager, so would appreciate it if someone can answer my questions please Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich10 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi, I don't know the answer to the physical/digital question. You're only able to set up 3 leagues max, but the English leagues go down as far as the Vanarama north/south. The speed of the game is fine, I've not managed to make it up to 20 seasons but I've read that there's no obvious slowdown, but I'll happily be corrected on this. The only negatives about the Switch version is that you're unable to edit the real competition names in and add logos, otherwise it's great to have it instantly load when you need that itch scratched.

ZBOX Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the reply and information rich10 When you say 3 leagues max - do you mean 3 nation's such as the whole English leagues, then say the Italian and Spanish leagues ? And that's great about the speed of the game, and that's fine about not having logos etc I don't mind about that, kinda use to the default football manager games now From championship manager 01/02 to football manager 2012 then in 2015 I think I started to buy football manager mobile which is fantastic and I will continue to buy that and support the devs as it's exceptional. And I have always left everything as is. But would really like the switch version too, and on the basis of what you said, definitely going to get it regardless, just would prefer a physical edition if possible as not really a fan of buy digital from Nintendo.

rich10 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Sorry that was misleading, I mean 3 nations max. I've had a dig around on the web and it does appear to be digital only for now. Personally, I find it strikes a nice balance between full fat and the mobile versions of the game. A few other things to note would be that: 1. The game saves before every match, which can slow proceedings down a tad. 2. There's no cross-save available on Switch. But neither put me off, and I've no regrets buying it.

ZBOX Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks again rich10 for the information. And yes that was what I was thinking, the switch version is a nice balance between full and mobile fm, I will still buy fm mobile this year, but definitely going to get the switch version too, it looks brilliant from what I have seen on YouTube etc. Out of interest though, predominantly while I like the mobile fm version is the speed of it, even with all leagues running and 20,+ seasons in the game runs fast even on older phone devices, so when you say fm on the switch saves game before match and it slows it down a touch - Do you know why that is and is it possible to disable that save feature? As of course I'm not expecting super fast game loading speeds equally though would be disappointing if the load times saving before match etc started to become long.

rich10 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 You cannot disable this auto game saving feature, and as I recall @Lucas explaining a while back it's something to do with Switch architecture(?). And I can't say for sure if this slows down significantly once you're 20 seasons in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Lucas Posted September 9, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yeah it’s a requirement I’m afraid due to it being on the Switch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The store selling the game sets the prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
