Football Manager 2020 Feedback Thread

[Neil Brock]

We're absolutely delighted to announce the full release of Football Manager 2020 now, and what better place for you to talk about it than our feedback thread here? All we ask is please keep any feedback constructive. 

This is the full release which, whilst similar to the Pre-Release Beta contains some important updates, optimisations and of course the release of the Pre-Game Editor. 

As always, if you find any issues with the game please do take the time to raise them via the Football Manager 2020 Bugs Forum. 

[KUBI]

It's live now - feedback in this thread, please.

Thanks – opted out of the public beta which has updated it for me.

Hyped for release, but I still have to wait for the low determination bug for players without determination set in the database to get fixed. Here's an example of my 2nd and u19 team after the release patch:

[priority76]

Golly, the editor is a bit purple!

[rdbayly]

Is the in game editor available to purchase?

[GOODNAME]

Yes it should be - if not now, then very soon. 

[XaW]

Neither 2D or 3D works for me after updating. Getting an error message "Community not found" when trying to start a new topic in the ME section. Will report when possible.

[Robioto]

Is the pre-game editor available? Mine just crashes on start up after installing through Steam tools.

We've rolled out a fix for the high GPU issue in this full release version. If you're having lag still, there's a different issue present so would suggest creating your own thread here - https://community.sigames.com/forum/740-match-engine-art-and-animations/

Are you running a custom skin per chance? 

[Johnny Ace]

Editor's in the store

[Iwabik]

So something strange is happening. The Match Engine is... not existing. It's just... purple?

That's it! Works on default skins. Thanks.

[99]

Update of 379MB --- it's the right one?

Had to opt out from public_beta to get it.

Yup, it was the cause, thanks!

[steviemay17]

Literally every single youth player in my squad has a determination attribute of 1

The pre-game editor? Mine crashes as soon as I load it.

Trying to work out if it's a problem at my end or it's just not working for anyone yet.

[rain94]

I posted in the bugs section. So disappointed it wasn't fixed. 

The intensity meter is not affected by the selected Pressing Intensity. It's clearly a bug. It doesn't matter if you select no pressing or the highest level of pressing. Is the game even registering the setting? I reported it and it went unnoticed. 

 

[GunmaN1905]

Any changes which aren't bug fixes and aren't related to ME?

[Iwabik]

First one-on-one in the new ME and it's scored! Then some sexy in box play and second goal was scored. And then one-on-one was missed. Though it was only a friendly (damn Qatar WC) so hard do judge.

[91836]

Players shooting from ridiculous angles doesn't seem to be fixed

[Armistice]

So urmm how can I download demo?

[diLLa88]

Determination still terrible for 70% of the youth in the game:

Figured out why it wasn't working... Accidentally installed it to a different drive. 

[kertiek]

No patch notes as it is the release of the full game

i guess that when releasing a game without a list of fixed bugs reported in the beta it is better to keep us in the dark.

[srvngrc]

Nothing changed. Lots of penalties and lots of missing penalties.

[Bakiano]

Do wingbacks and wingers cross from byline?

Guessing nothing has changed from the last version of the beta to the full version? 

[serg__23]

the ME in the beta was 2016, now is 2020

[Sterling]

Sadly 3d performance of the match engine is still terrible for me.

*Edit* Zoomed in TV or sideline view is fine, but zoomed out to see the majority of the field really has a huge performance hit.
