gazza8 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 With, to date, only 22k posts on the touch community forum, compared to the 105k for mobile and the 1.7 million for the full version. There are also very few if any youtubers doing career reviews on it...is anyone playing this and is there a future for the touch version of Football Manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heywood JaBlowme Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Takes longer and longer to play the full version. So many clicks that my wrist hurts skipping through all the bloatware. I think more people will switch over so I say it has a future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley84 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 People who play Touch mostly do it cause they don't have enough time for full version. I reckon also they dont post a lot also. Also youtubers don't play with Touch cause there is no editor for it, and its harder without it to be as succesfull as many of them are. P.S. I do not know how you got to those number of post but they are irrelevant to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br3nB Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 There is a world of people out there who are too busy working and living an actual life than to spend time posting on here, those people also play FM Touch hence the low number of posts you site. Sales figures do not lie! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It's also a version that can be played on tablets, which becomes more popular. But those people usually do not visit the forums, unless they have technical issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmccready Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I hope so. I love the touch version. The only gripe other than amount of leagues is the lack of stats. Otherwise it’s fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFootballManagerer Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 There's a number of reasons: Time. People just don't have the time to play the full fat PC version. So we just play as and when we can. Lack of PC. There are some people, like me, who do not own a PC so the next best thing to the full fat version is Touch. Too many clicks. The PC full fat version tends to be far too clicky for a lot of players and people just want to strip away a few layers of clicks to get to certain pages.

Curtneedsaride Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Out of all the versions, I used to play mobile version and full version the most. However, with the Switch version and the iPad version, I am spending more and more time with Touch. I’d love to have time to invest into the full version, but I just don’t right now. Touch has been great. I’ve got 3 saves on 2 iPads and a Switch right now. Everywhere I am, I can pick one up. But I still dive into the mobile version quite a bit too. The life of a parent with a toddler and newborn about to arrive... Hahaha! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnobody Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Touch is definitely a great option. The full fat is too much sometimes. I only wish the touch version could used edited league files. If it had that I would probably only use Touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best suggestion is to request it, on FMT Wishlist thread or on Featured Request sub-forum. Since SI says that they listen to community, the more people ask for it, the likely we the editor enable for FMT sooner then later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcrhys Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I don’t have time to play the full version. I certainly hope they don’t get rid of FMT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerara Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I used to enjoy previous versions of FMT. They dont seem to care about FMT 20 and especially the android version. Not just minor bugs. The game even in 2D mode is unplayable for most compatible devices . They released it without testing it for tablet devices. For Sports Interactive FMT is an easy, alternative way to earn more money. Next year, I won't take it.

Loren1983 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I am a big supporter of FMT. I love this version of the game. But I also feel like is a little abandoned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonrock Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) I would say that with all the stuff they keep putting into the FFV, then Touch is more relevant than ever! I ONLY play Touch Edited January 31, 2020 by Toonrock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedw Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I only play Touch on iPad Pro, but I got a refund on FMT20 due to bugs especially the tough input bug. I’ve gone back to FMT19 and it feels more polished to this years game. If the bugs get fixed then I’ll purchase it again but until then I’m a happy camper playing the previous edition.

scott92507 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Prefer FMT. The full game is overwhelming. I wish they offered the full version with layers/options, so you could play with as much or little detail as you wished. And it would be nice to make FMT with edit options, such as stadium naming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what they are trying to do by delegating several stuff to your staff in FM, but some players don't really trust the AI to do it. I prefer thousand times, FMT. The only that would make amazing was the inclusion of an editor in this mode. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm always on the edge of finally switching to Touch, due to all the unnecessary elements that are added each year to the full version (media, interactions, endless new items), but I'd like to have more skin options. I really don't like the default look of the Touch skin, especially regarding player profile/attributes page. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjericho Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 To be honest, FMT with FM looks would be my perfect fit. I'm not going to ask for too many detail but basically I just use the panels from FM? No new to change any coding? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would just need to have a skin/panels folder and use the FM 'version' of these, yes. Note that will only change the appearance / layout of certain panels, it won't change any navigation sections or the like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennedyBakircioglu Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) @kingjericho Basically, if you download these default FMT skins Then add the full FM panels to skins/skin name/panels/player Credit to @GavinG and @bluestillidie00 as I'm basically using their skins merged so to speak.

tyro Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Only SI Games can tell for sure but seeing that they keep releasing FMT and also for phones, etc. there must be sufficient people playing the game on these platforms. I don't think you can really judge by the amount of posts. The types of people who play FMT have limited time and thus will post less. Youtubers won't use FMT as they play longer careers, although there have been some doing challenges or showing off the FMT side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musestar Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 A resounding yes from me. I don’t get a chance to get onto my tower at home, as my Mrs works from home in it. iPad version is great for sofa and commute and is deep enough, with some of the fat trimmed away for the ‘full game experience.’ I think there was must be plenty of buyers, or they would have pulled the plug as it isn’t financially viable.

mmitch19 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @KennedyBakircioglu Can you explain a little more how to do this - I've never played around with skins, but this looks like a real improvement. I was able to download the dark and light base skin ok and these work as expected Then understood that you'd taken panels from @bluestillidie00's TCS skin and added them in? I tried this, so now I have \Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020 Touch\skins\fmc-dark\panels\player\player attributes panel, but I don't have the full fat FM look to the player attributes...?
