FM17

[Luke Imp]

Out November 4th!

Hope it's more enjoyable than FM16.

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?

 

[Madejski]

Apparently it's £5 more than normal, so we'll be getting it about normal price.

Need to get a new PC soon ready for this (and other games). Looking forward to playing FM after having a massive cutback this year.. According to Steam i've only put 50 hours into FM16, which is a fraction of the time I had put into the previous games.

Yeahh, I'm just gonna get it on CDKeys again, usually a hell of a lot cheaper than steam regardless of a 20% (15% in my case as I didn't get 16) discount.

 

[Techno Natch]

I got the last FM at full price and never got into it so think I'll hold fire on it this year until it comes down in price. I really enjoyed 14 but there was just something about this year's that annoyed the hell out of me and I could never get an interest going in it. Think I only completed two full seasons.

Any indications on what changes have been made?

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

No changes yet. For the first time I'm not going to pre order. Last years, to be blunt, was fucking wank. Didn't enjoy 15 so much either.

 

[epic73]

how much will it cost to start with?

5% extra for each copy of FM you've owned.

Just a bit of a note, but I'm actually a researcher for Universitario de Deportes. While I have 0 access to the games database, my job is to go to games to analyse players and make recommendations or correct errors.

I'm not officially part of SI staff though, but I do consider it as my job.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

So Universitario are going to be the best team on the game this year then?

 

[Luke Imp]

I thought they'd be more information about it out by now, but there's been nothing!

Full YouTube video on the new features in mid-October apparently.

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Beta to be released tomorrow evening.

Only evening I'm out. Fuck sake SI.

 

[HarvSFC]

Ohhhh! Fantastic news, cheers Llama.

Been searching for the Beta release date the last few days, saw it was expected two weeks before official release and just expected it to come out on Friday.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

I'm really hoping that as there's nothing outrageous announced they've focused much more on polishing last years version...

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Lolz, Brexit is a feature.

 

[Madejski]

Lolz, Brexit is a feature.

Outrageous

 

[HarvSFC]

Sometimes realism just isn't fun.

 

[Luke Imp]

I'm really, really hoping this is better than FM16.

I've missed doing a long Lincoln save this year.

Same. Except instead of Lincoln I'll probably start with Moyola Park.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Didn't purchase 16 after being unimpressed by the demo, shall attempt 17. Getting us promoted and Champions League with Xia's millions should be fun too.

 

[KevinMcallister]

fm 17 beta has launched guys, enjoy

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Will run a test overnight to see if the long term world looks fucked, always my first actions.

 

[Luke Imp]

Anyone playing on the Beta?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

No. I take issue with pre-ordering a game without knowing what it'll be like. Especially after I was left unimpressed with 16 and didn't bother with that.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Anyone playing on the Beta?

Yeah. Started a career with Dundela.

 

[HarvSFC]

Anyone playing on the Beta?

Yeah. Started a career with Barnet.

 

[TractorBoys]

Initial thoughts LADS??

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Not found anything glaringly broken... Which is an improvement on 2016.
