Maybe you should try playing on a bit? Idk, I can't judge without seeing what the new game is like, but if I think back to past years, there was this one FM (13 or 14, I think?) that completely changed the UI, tactics, etc and it was a mess to get around with... until I got used to it. And then the upcoming years kept using variations of this UI.



Yeah maybe. I just don’t want to waste 50$ on a beta if it’s gonna suck. Already came across 3-4 bugs in the hour I played. I played fm17 more than any other version because it was really good, but this is just too different for me. I may give it a try in a month or so when all the bugs are worked out like you said. Just really disappointed with the changes.

found a review that i totally agree with.

Injury / Relationship manager 2018 is what they should have called this update.

While i haven't been playing FM / CM like what others have claimed since the 1960s or whatever, I have been playing since FM13. And I can say without a doubt, this is the most frustrating and backwards release yet. The new match engine really isn't much of an upgrade, players look goofy as hell with abnormally long arms, the ball still seems to move about like it's on a string attached to the players, but that's not even the bad part really.

As I have closely followed ALL tidbits of preventing injuries, (fitness levels, staff, checking for injury prone players etc) this update seems to have more injures than previous versions. I've been shuffling through on different saves, and can say with 100% certainty that I am experiencing more injuries than in FM17 or 16. Inb4 someone says "check your training levels dude learn how to play", I check the medical center weekly and pay very close attention to that.

Secondly, while the dynamics feature on paper is a good idea, its just created one more annoying thing to micromanage / deal with. Even with high man management (20) I still find having to deal with players bickering about one thing or another to be absurd. I get the player interactions is a real component, but there are other ways of dealing with troublesome players in the real world. I feel that there isn't enough options to deal with players who want to complain / argue / have a fuss over things.

Lastly, to end on a good note,

there is none. Ill still continue to play the game because I foolishly did something foolish and bought this game like a fool.

I think I'm gonna skip FM18 and get FM19 next year. I feel 50$ is too much for the little changes, especially when I can just get the up to date 2017/2018 database in the workshop.

damn, that sucks :(

I'm about to start my file with RCD Mallorca; I've got my name fix and logo packs installed, so I'm ready to go! Time to do one of those "spanish hero" files Ihaven't done in years.
