I can't wait to get it. Gotta wait til the small human gets it for Xmas. Currently doing fifa 22 to pass the time.

I still play FM 13, after that I found there was too much emphasis on little details and it became too complicated. But that's just me .

Might try the demo though

"Genuinely bought the series x over ps5 due them getting football manager on it only for ps5 get it this year "

But then you get it for free if you have game pass witch is a no brainier

As it’s worth it as you gold is included with game pass it’s a steal at £15 a month compared to 9.99 gold a extra £5 and you got thousands off games free

And football manger 2023 will be add on launch day so no need to even buy it

Yes the young players who did become stars… what I miss are the background pics of actual teams and players - think that went out in 2002… some things have never moved on and should be to really freshen it up.. 1. Actual stadia 2. Allow the player to change the ticket and season ticket prices so it can impact on funds…

Check the recommended specs and have a look, mine runs it at full speed (five stars) with everything on with maybe half dozen full leagues and it was £750 but that was 18 months ago and there's much better for similar money now (Nvidia 1650 8gb ram)

The last save I got really into was in the Slovenian league, Europa League qualification brings in money but there's a big focus on youth development as you can't compete financially with bigger leagues and your best players get bought

It’s been years since I did any FIFA games, like we’re talking 15 to 20 years. But when I did I used to always go for the PRIOR years game, like in 2002 I’d get FIFA 01 .. the games stores used to sell them for about £1.99 while the new version was almost £40 ..

Can't beat a little bit of fifa pal if you have ea play you get 2022 on that for free to play also get 10hrs of the new fifa 23 to play good sort of try before you buy type deal (though I've not bought it myself)

Late ass reply. But not sure how big improvements have been over the years seems be more all about match engine wich is cool I itself but I'm a champ manager guy just give me the little dots I'll be happy but yeah match engin does look better and have official champions league music and competitions now added in but if only 2 years ago wouldn't imagine be that big on changes you'd notice much
