Football Manager 2016

[smat]

It'll probably run, but it won't be quick.

 

[Libertadores FC]

I know I have said this before, but I have little interest in starting a long term save before January or February. The glitches ruined some saves for me on FM 15 in the early months out.

The game itself looks class and I'm forward to its release but I'm not risking spending a lot of my time only for the glitches to ruin all the work I've done by 2025.

I've just discovered a potential problem. Apparently my laptop doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run FM 2016.

It would appear I need 256 MB of dedicated video RAM, yet my laptop only has 128 MB. Can anyone tell me if this is going to be a significant problem?

I think they've made improvements to the 3D match engine, which would probably means better graphics. If you don't use the 3D match engine like myself, then I shouldn't think it would be a huge problem. If you've ran previous versions no problem, I think this one will be the same.

 

[Madejski]

I've not met the minimum specs the last two FMs and my laptop has been able to run it (albeit slowly). Quickly glanced over the specs a few weeks back and they were the same as FM15 I thought? So if you could run FM15 I don't see how you couldn't run this. Might be even slower though.

 

[Pyeman]

Thanks for the info. I mostly play classic (or touch) now anyway so I think it should be ok

 

[JJH]

Beta out this Friday?

 

[Luke Imp]

Now available (as of two minutes ago).

 

[Robert Molenaar]

£27 on green man gaming with their promo code. Not bothered to shop around to see if it's cheaper elsewhere. Probably download it tomorrow.

 

[MagpieBee]

Think my computer won't have enough space left for this one... need a new computer anyway and this might tip me over the edge...

 

[JJH]

Evening fella's, just a query. I haven't pre-ordered FM, as I was going to do it tomorrow as I wasn't anticipating it coming out until Friday.

Can I still get it and play the beta, and if so, where is the best place to buy it online?

Cheers in advance.

I did it through STEAM for ease sake. I'm sure you can get it cheaper elsewhere, but I wasn't sure which other retailers were offering early BETA access.

Can I buy it on Friday on Steam, and still get access to the beta mate?

I bought it this evening, about 20 minutes ago, and I'm currently loading up the BETA as we speak.

Tidy, cheers mate. Enjoy.

 

[Madejski]

Typical it chooses the day I stay in late at work to launch.

Fingers crossed my laptop can cope with it quickly.

 

[hodge]

Won't complete the installation for me, says something about steam servers being too busy to complete request.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Will we ever attempt a network game again, JJH? Was a bit of an awkward time last time as it was during exam/holiday season.

Yeah mate! Around the time of release, we'll see what sort of numbers we can get and give it a proper go!

 

[City169]

downloading beta now, but I got 12 hours of lectures tomorrow so probably wont have a look until saturday at the earliest, maybe a quick look friday before i got out

 

[hodge]

Online draft league anyone? League we could have 2-6 teams and knockout cup allows up to 32 teams.

How would that work, mate?

I'd be up for that

 

[MagpieBee]

Yeah, I'd also be up for that. When?

 

[hodge]

How would that work, mate?

Not entirely sure, presume you have a league name/password for people to connect. Then you have settings like budget to determine how good a signings you can make, then there's a time limit of draft picks which keeps it flowing quickly

 

[JJH]

I'll take part!

 

[Luke Imp]

Cheapest place I can order the disc version?

 

[JJH]

Anywhere I can buy it at a good price online?

 

[Luke Imp]

There's a list on the SI forums.

 

[Harrier94]

Cheapest place I can order the disc version?

At Harriers the club sell the disc version of the game for like £15 obviously I don't know if Lincoln do it but ask and see because it's the cheapest i've found anywhere

 

[Madejski]

I wouldn't want to call FM16 a broken game (especially as i'm currently averaging 3 goals a game), but I just played Cambridge United in the Cup and they had Alessandro Del Piero as their main striker. ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO!
