FM21

Since it's available for pre-purchase with a 10% discount a thread might as well be made for the latest edition of the game I've got way too many hours on.

just letting you guys know - New Zealand will be the most detailed it's ever been by some distance this year, from the Handy down to the Taranaki Prem. Pacific Island leagues will all be fully detailed too.

Keep an eye on Libby Cacace and Marko Stamenic xx

that makes me want

I only bought 20 a couple of months back. Damn it, it's so addictive! Spending too much time on it. 

Currently on bed rest after a hernia op (had 4 of the suckers). My recovery plan has been leading Everton to European Glory!!

unfortunately due to time constraints and a shark ton of uni work, I couldn't fully complete most NZ leagues in time for release - good news though is that every single Handy and NRFL club (along with quite a few other clubs from around the country) should be fully detailed with players and all :)

What about the Pacific Island teams?? I'm contemplating buying my first FM this year!

they've been fully redone too - Fiji for the first time properly since 2003!

I sorted that out in FM20.

How are they handling covid?

This is in the actual database, though.

And so apparently Cacace is a hidden gem now...

7:31 if you want to skip to it.

I shouldn't be tempted to buy this but I seriously am. Are the a-league teams even accurate?

Less so than NZ, lot of bugs with the league this year too

Didn't stop me from buying it.

maybe I'll wait until they do their first updates

Only bought FM 20 4 months ago during Covid lockdown. Have been enjoying it immensely. Other than squad up dates what is the major differences. Oh and I hear there's going to be an X Box Series X release of it. If the player graphics were like a Fifa game, it'd be pretty much perfect all round.

January should be the big one. Lots of feeling-out issues with the release, especially with COVID

got the mobile version 2 weeks ago. already made Arsenal EPL champs and have Sydney tearing up the A-league (the nix didn't want me!!!)

its $14, which is oddly a fair bit for a phone game and it is very easy to flick through without doing much. and because it is phone-based the depth of the game is quite limited (for example, you cant search for new zealand players). Not sure I would recommend it yet. It just doesn't quite scratch the FM itch. 

Will there be a football game as addicting as FM? There are a lot of sports games but it seems that FM is the way to go when it comes to football. It's really hard to nail down a game that has such a fun experience at such a cheap price. FIFA and PES might be up there but it is nice to see that FM is gaining more and more popularity through the years and having the game be so popular is great to see.

I'm curious to see how the X Box Series X version stacks up. It'd coming, just like the Series X.If they matched the FIFA graphics with the FM Management game, it would really be something to behold.
