With the first-look reviews etc. going out this morning, why not allow us to get in at 6pm today instead?

Judging from what I've seen, and what some of the YouTuber's are showing - Football Manager really does seem like its "back".

Can't wait!

Zero games lost in an entire season is crazy even if its psg

Take a look at what those with early access have said!

We might just have our game back!

what is borini doing man

I played on 2021, and took a break. I really want to buy the FM2024 on PC, how can I?

FM27 early access is almost here. I'm not asking for team suggestions, just curious what everyone has already decided for their own first save, and why. Are you going for a big project, a small club you want to build up, or just your boyhood team?

I'm planning a specific save for FM27, that combines a couple of different save types (none of which ive ever attempted individually). Something incredibly long term to stick with through the FM27 game cycle

Essentially it will be a combined multi-club, build a nation, DoF save, where I will manage Celtic and act as a DoF for Shamrock Rovers, with the intention of lifting both Scotlands and Irelands reputations to make them leading nations continentally and internationally

Ive also considered including a Welsh team as another DoF team, and tempted to add a youth only restriction where I can only sign youth players from within the 2 (or 3) club network

I guess the questions I have are: is this a realistic ambition and is there any advice or suggestions anyone can provide?

I only have football manager 2021 started as West Ham any recommendations for basically a new guy have not played in many years

I know not to buy the latest football manager as it's trash

I have an FM14 save I have wanted to go back to for years, but I'm on a Mac, and the original Mac version is a 32-bit Intel application that modern macOS won’t run. So every time I try to start it through Steam, I get something like, "your OS cannot run this game".

On Friday, I asked ChatGPT 6.1 Sol (medium) if it could help get it working. While initially hesitant and trying to get me to install Windows on top of my Mac, after a bit of prodding, it found a project that has done something similar: AArchX, an open-source project that runs Intel Mac software on Apple silicon.

ChatGPT built on what they have already done, investigated FM14's problems, and added compatibility fixes and a Steam launcher. The original game files are unchanged.

I've no idea if this will actually be useful to anyone else, and I've only tested it on a Mac Mini M6, but I have made it available here in case others are in the same boat (or want to use it as a base to get another version working): https://github.com/doyler442/fm2014-apple-silicon

I also research in the area and started recording the screen a minute or two into starting, so you can see the information shaping here: https://cathaldoyle.com/Open_Artefact:_United_Return#me-tube

Is there a way I can work around this without having to stay up 24 hours in FM26 mobile?

Are we able to move saves from FM24 to FM27?

Some generated wonderkids can be from Thailand India that can play international games very early, do you give a small edge since international games exp can help them grow?

I dont scum save, I ain’t do editor so I know how good youngsters are, but I’d love a button starting game meaning you can sign anyone, no matter country or age to any league. Don’t understand how that’s not a thing. That’s my chest I want.

After that, you'll be assigned to an academy with the other new recruits for one season (a little less than two months IRL) where you will play two matches per week (streamed on YouTube on Tuesdays and Thursdays). At the end, you'll partake in the end-of-season draft (MLS Style !) to join your future team for a social based-adventure ! What we offer :

• More than 230 active players on 28 different teams on a league starting its 28th season
• A totally custom-built and easy-to-use Portal to create and evolve your player each week
• A welcoming and growing community that has a true passion for football/soccer and the Football Manager game
• 2 different leagues (Majors and Minors) each having 2 divisions with a promotion/relegation system and a cup which sees all the SSL teams compete against each other with matches played on FM 24 AND commentated in English by members of the community
• A World Cup Event (WSFC) each year
• Entirely free and community ran via volunteer jobs (there is no way to spend actual money)

In most of my saves since FM11, Mourinho seems to end up at Atlético Madrid at some point. van Gaal left Bayern Munich to AC Milan in my FM11 save as well in the 12/13 pre-season.

In one of my FM22 saves, Xavi managed Benfica and was very successful there, winning the Portuguese League a couple of times in a row and also winning the Europa League.

In my FM24 save, Arne Slot managed Man Utd and Jürgen Klopp managed Porto. I don't remember if Slot won anything, but Klopp won the Portuguese League a couple of times in a row.

Are we able to preload/ pre install the game or is this from 6pm tomorrow only?

Not seen this anywhere thought I'd ask

Curious what kind of mods people actually care about. Pick the one you'd most want:

1. Visual upgrades (skins, face packs, logos, kits, stadiums, camera)

2. Speed and convenience (faster UI, faster startup, match speed)

3. Career and manager life (trophy room, career records, a life outside football)

4. Scouting and recruitment help (Moneyball-style research, finding the right players)

5. Match analysis (live stats, pitch maps, post-match breakdowns)

6. Coaching help (an assistant that suggests what to change and why)

7. Immersion (new commentary, media questions, AI dialogue)

8. I don't use mods

9. Something else (tell us below)

If you can, add a short reason and which mod you're using now (if any).

I am definitely 100% unsuccessful at getting red cards overturned. Must be an FM “thing” as I haven’t ever seen anyone have a successful appeal, but surely someone has?

The clocks have gone back in the UK and the leaves are turning golden yellow, so you know what that means. The latest edition of Football Manager is nearly here and after vocal discontent over Sports Interactive’s last entry in the beloved management simulation series, the anticipation ahead of Football Manager 27 is even greater.

But, does FM27 feel like Football Manager again? Are there enough additions to make it a fresh experience? Is it worth your time and money?

Art de Roche had five hours with the new game to find out.

Outside of the UI changes, what was the summary of all the previews on

• Tactical effectiveness
• ME itself

Only watched one so far and Benji said the Tactical effectiveness is a little overhyped

A load of gameplay vids have dropped, has anyone got any screenshots of players profiles to see some stats? Would love to see some of the exciting young players updated stats but not got any time to watch the vids until tonight!

(Bonus points if there are any Fulham players as that will be my first save)
