Frost Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 Where's best to buy this from at the minute? BETA included preferably.
stripeyfox Posted 19 October 2016 Author Posted 19 October 2016 Vardy, King and Ranieri are now "Legends" on the club information page. Mahrez, Morgan, Kante, Drinkwater, Schmeichel and Huth are "Icons"
stripeyfox Posted 20 October 2016 Author Posted 20 October 2016 Early thoughts: The new behind the goal camera angle is great Graphics don't seem optimised yet. My laptop had "5 stars" for the graphics in very high detail on FM16, but only 1 star in FM17 Information is presented better, less clicking between screens New team report is brilliant Great to see Leicester as "Previous Winners" in the Premier League You can now set up what you want to be responsible for (and not) in the game setup screen by just ticking or unticking boxes - and I think you can save this configuration so you don't have to go through the whole Ass Man meeting every time you start a game Brexit is in the game! Overall though, it is evolution not revolution. Reception seems a little muted so far though...

Dan Posted 20 October 2016 Posted 20 October 2016 There's definitely a benefit of watching the games. You can't analyse what you're doing well and what you aren't if you don't. I mean you can if you ask your staff but they aren't always right. But I'll never move on from 2D classic. Honestly don't see the point. That's the best tactical vantage point you can have. I'd like the AI to improve (as always) but no new camera angle will ever do anything for me personally.
stripeyfox Posted 20 October 2016 Author Posted 20 October 2016 I generally watch in 2D, but have the goal replays set to the new "behind goal low" camera.

Anyhow I got it running more or less ok. Thinking of getting a new laptop anyway (in order to play Civ VI)!

Brainy Posted 20 October 2016 Posted 20 October 2016 Had a team in mind the last few years of who I want to be. 15 was Rosenborg, went tits up quickly. 16 was Wisla Krakow which also went the same direction but then I can across Rapid Bucharest who I had remembered to be a big name of Romanian football but had also noticed they were in the Romanian 2nd division, so I liked the idea of bringing the glory days back. Didn't happen quite that way but I did finish 2nd in behind the dominant Steaua in one of my five or six seasons there. Only other noticable save i've had on 16 is the FH game. I wanna go along the same route as Rapid Bucharest on here and I have the choice of Stuttgart and Dynamo Moscow, and I will plump for Moscow as I haven't managed in Russia before.

AjcW Posted 20 October 2016 Posted 20 October 2016 Woof! I've found a Kante replacement! He's called Acquah!
stripeyfox Posted 20 October 2016 Author Posted 20 October 2016 Musa is an absolute beast on this! EDIT: Got his age wrong though - reckons he's only 23!

You like your long-term saves don't you, same as me. I'm still on 15 as my 16 won't run quickly enough on this laptop (and need a new one so I can get 17) and I've done a bit of a random one. Sparta Rotterdam. Took me nine seasons but got them from the second tier to champions of Holland.
Donut Posted 21 October 2016 Posted 21 October 2016 Ive just started a Porto save on the Beta, and theyve got a really good squad, some seriously good young prospects. Im considering selling Brahimi to a Chinese club. Theyve already offered £20 mil for him, if i can squeeze £25 mil out of them then ill sell. ive got two quality options who are just as good in his position in Otavio and Jesus Corona. I had two positions i needed to strengthen most, centre back and centre forward. I tried to get Funes Mori in from Everton, scouts loved him and his stats look phenomenal but simply couldnt afford him. I tried to unsettle Semedo from Sporting, but ended up signing Cabral from Celta Vigo (who are just called vigo.....looks like la liga is no longer a licensed league). Cabral is a physical beast but cant pass it, so ive got the defenders clearing to the flanks. Got great midfield options. Right now it depends on the shape, can either use Danilo as a defensive midfielder and then play Herrera and Andre Andre in front of him, usually Herrera as a deep lying playmaker and Andre Andre roaming. for a bit more attacking impetus i take Danilo out and use Oliver in the advanced playmaker role. Also got Ruben Neves as an option. Im light up front though. Not much i can do about it UNLESS i sell Brahimi. Very reliant on Andre Silva (who does look excellent), but i think goals will be an issue. Layun, Cabral, Felipe and Telles with Marcano and Perreira to bring in, thats pretty good depth defensively.
dbtcity Posted 21 October 2016 Posted 21 October 2016 has anyone got any screen shots of our players? have we got a squad capable of defending the title or not? just went on to steam to purchase the game with my % off for every year of buying the game only to see they've stopped it so I'm a bit dubious about paying the extra £10
