FM17

[HarvSFC]

That. ^

Been done over by stupid player/goalkeeper errors a few times, but that's just what you come to expect with FM. Haven't found anything that's made me not want to continue playing and wait for the full game release.

 

[TractorBoys]

Do you need to purchase via Steam to get BETA access?

 

[Hurrikeen]

So can anyone download the beta? Off Steam presumably?

I've had every FM since it's creation.

 

[TractorBoys]

Yeah, Steam or CDKeys will give you BETA access, looked it up after posting here last night.

TB

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

CDKeys will also give you BETA access.

 

[Hurrikeen]

And I assume you can't play network games on the beta?

 

[TractorBoys]

Online is included on BETA.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Just on CDKeys now and it says the Beta isnt included?

Scratch that - found it.

Just to let people know, if you pre-purchase on steam, you get 5% off for every FM owned dating back to FM2013.

So I get 20% off. Although I do wonder what the catch is, how much will it cost to start with?

Does this offer still stand mate?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

No, it ended the day before the BETA came out.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Does this offer still stand mate?

No. Ended on 14-Oct.

Its only £29.99 on CDKeys though.

 

[KevinMcallister]

gamesplanet has it for 29.99 and has beta

they gave me a steam key instantly on beta launch

yeah i'm Wealdstone atm, good save so far, just so annoyed a little c*** of a kid said he would use my club as a stepping stone, now he's knocked in 13 goals,c every c*** in the conference wants him

 

[Luke Imp]

That excitable moment when you delete everything associated with the current FM to make way for the new one...

 

[HarvSFC]

Anyone read through social media/watch the teams come out for the kick off?

Nope, me neither.

Nope, me neither.

the lineups are completely naff, the social media has some relevant stuff occasionally

Well Stockport aren't that enjoyable to play in their current form on the beta.

As we have signed most of our players from the league or two leagues below it looks they haven't had their ratings adjusted. Not so much a problem that they aren't very good, but it is when you try and sign any 'decent' Conference North player who doesn't want to sign because 'the calibre of player at Stockport isn't up to his standards'. This is happening for free agents, players from other clubs (including the league below!), and expiring contracts. The actual players are so undervalued I wouldn't really consider them good players for two leagues below the Conf. North so it's pretty frustrating.

Also as a result when you try and get a loan player I am having the same issue that the parent club refuses to let their player join as they want him to play with higher quality players. Then about 5 days later he goes and signs for Bradford Park Avenue.

Very frustrating considering the league position we are in right now in real life and I'd have assumed the reputation of the club should be a lot higher than the other Conf. North teams which I thought would counter it.

I'VE JUST BOUGHT THE GAME LADS DOWNLOADING NOW.

Will update you with my initial thoughts in circa 3-4 hours.

Started unemployed so risking the fact that I may lose interest if it's anything like FM16.

 

[TractorBoys]

Delighted to confirm Weston Super Mare have taken a punt on me in just the second week of the game.

 

[Ellis]

Wonder how he managed that in 5 minutes.

Hurrikeen Look Out There Are Llamas TractorBoys how did you get a BETA code for CDkeys? I just ordered, and when I go to get the BETA code from the email they sent it won't give me one before November 4th.

Did you buy the one that includes BETA? They were charging £2-£3 extra for it...

Just noticed I hadn't. Pain in the arse that, they've refunded it though so I'll just get it on Steam for an extra few quid.

 

[TractorBoys]

Gamesplanet apparently has it cheaper, someone said.

Initial thoughts mate?

Initial thoughts mate?

Quite enjoying it tbh, haven't come across any bugs yet and the gameplay is pretty good.

How've you found it?

 

[Luke Imp]

Arrived this morning!

 

[HarvSFC]

Arrived?

Old school.

 

[Luke Imp]

I know.

Always get the physical copy. I like something tangible for my money!

 

[GFCSludge]

Just started a new save on FM12 (Venezia - Serie D) but am tempted by FM17, is it worth it....?
