djpdavey Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Are there some of you who are putting off or skipping FM20 altogether in favour of finishing an FM19 save? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prej Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Actually, FM19 is the first FM I grew tired of. I'm still playing it, but it's more just to pass some time rather than really trying to achieve something. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I might do, it just depends when it comes out, I've still got a season & half until the Johnny Ace stadium opens so if FM20 drops this Friday (it won't) I'd have to hold off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouReds Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I put off the last two as was enjoying managing Gateshead in FM17, FM20 has been pre-ordered really for the data update if nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruskin Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I bought FM2020 to support the company, but will stick with an older version until some of the kinks get worked out. Nothing worse than investing weeks in a new save and then having to restart to avoid some issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you mate, got bored with the game when they decided not to fix all the ME problems and leave it till FM20 to do the fixes, right now I keep starting a new save using the editor just to have a bit of fun with different players and tactics. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like in favour of finishing a FM17/18 save. The (early) Editor issues with FM19 kinda discouraged some of the most prevalent editors from making as many and as rich databases as it used to be the case. For me ,most of the fun in FM is generated by the community moreso than the base game. SI hasn't announced anything that excites me for FM2020... if anything at all concerning the ME, tactics and how football actually plays in FM. I'll see what happens in the coming weeks, but I wouldn't mind skipping another couple of FM versions; I already did so in the past. I didn't play much FM18 either.

TheWednesday Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Will get FM20 for Christmas, gives time for some early issues to be ironed out and also means I can use some of the downloadable content for a long term save. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samradiven Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 yep, gonna finish my save on fm19. Started with Nottingham forest and spent 9 years there and ended up winning the champions league. Moved to Barca post Messi era and have spent 3 seasons there. Will spend a bit longer there before trying to win the World Cup with England and then move on to fm20!

Peter Morgan Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I won't be buying FM20 but I'm probably not the best benchmark! A) I only bought FM19 in June and am the grand total of 5 months into my Tottenham save (a long-term one hopefully). B) My previous FM purchase was CM 99/00 (so not a regular buyer of the game!) C) I would also like to try a lower league save on FM19 too (eventually). Looking at my history of purchases I am, however, looking forward to FM2039. I spend more time on this forum than playing the game, but I think once FM20 is released I won't be as regular a visitor as chances are the discussions won't have as much relevance to the game I'm playing. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in favor of finishing an FM19 (although I will be playing that game) save but because I don't see any of the announced features so far worth the full price. Maybe on a January sale.

bigmattb28 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Not buying until at least the third patch. Will try the demo. 19 gave me 3 game breaking bugs that weren't repairable so put me off and I've gone back to 17. None of the features are 'grabbing' me either, just feels like FM19 DLC presented as a full new game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom8983 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'm not playing FM19 anymore as they ruined the training part of the game with an update a few months ago and straight up refused to fix it. I wasn't enjoying trying to develop youngsters who's individual training had to be manually selected every time they were played in a different position to what they were training as (which was a lot). As such I'm unsure about buying the next game because I've found other things to do with my time. I tend to have phases of playing and not playing which can last for months at a time anyway though, so I won't rule out buying FM20 at all. I'm certainly not rushing to get it though. It's not all doom and gloom though, I'm so far happy that there's no huge new features for FM20, and it seems to be a lot more about improving and perfecting what they've already got. That has been needed for years. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger666 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) I put off every game until it's released, reviewed and I've had had a chance to view/play it. Though saying that SI broke FM19 with the training bug after I brought it and refused to fix it so I'll still be wary.

Grifty Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I've pre-ordered it and plan on having a week off work (my first non-weekend days off since February!) to coincide with the release. I've been getting back into my save on FM19 after 2-3 months off it and am trying to break some club appearance records so will play a bit of both.

RorysRocketThrow Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This will be the first time I've never pre ordered since the pre ordering system came into play online. I've been less than impressed with the headline features and the overall feel on this one is a very subdued release so far. As it stands I'll be waiting for the demo, which is uncharted waters for me. If I don't like the demo or don't feel the changes are worth it then it will be the first ever release of FM/CM that I haven't bought, going back to the first ever version. I'm scared. Help. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCanary Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I've not bought since 17 but that was as much about laptop power as it was the games. I'm ready to dive back in for 20 but I learned a few years ago to not get swept up and pre-order. The game changes so much from Beta to first patch that I usually gave up on any early save games.

Big Geordie Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I will be waiting to see if the have fixed the ME, in particular - the strikers issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martplfc1 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Won't be buying this year. My game time since 2015 is as follows: 2015: 304 hours 2016: 387 hours 2017: 405 hours 2018: 393 hours 2019: 94 hours Probably due to lifestyle/job that it's dropped off so much this year, but just couldn't get into it at all. My wife is also due on 25 October so probably will have even less time to play (though that 2 week paternity leave could pose as a bit of an opportunity!) Edit - just seen it's out on 19 November, so will probably be elbows deep in **** by then, literally! Edited October 16, 2019 by martplfc1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not real life that kept me from playing but the match e engine. Also it's not about winning, I have never been less exited to win the league then in fm19. Won the league in the first season with Leipzig, by only scoring scrappy goals and from crosses. Boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
