Football Manager 2019

Haven't pre ordered it but I will get it probably a few weeks after it is released. Sports Interactive always give out a free box to all Vanarama National League & North & South clubs for them to sell on so usually get mine from Chelmsford City on the cheap.

Found the game a lot harder in the last few years and that I'm not playing it as much as I used to during my school & 6th form days!

FM and FIFA are the only games I can enjoy this days. Beta is relased this friday, so if you order it online you will be able to play the game on the weekend.

University was my peak on FM. Many, many hours and I won the treble with FC United of Manchester. Did something similar with Tranmere this year but got smoked my Bayern in the Champions League and never played it again.

It is definitely more difficult nowadays though.

I wonder if they'll stick with the same old press conference questions again. Being asked about a decision to list a player you've never heard of at a club you have no connection whatsoever to or being asked to name a specific opposition player as a weak link...they're absolutely terrible and have been lazily kept the same for years while bearing no relation to an actual press conference.

The painfully generic press conferences and interviews are largely jarg, and I will be skipping as many as possible!

I'd have to hear amazing things about it to bother.

Reminder that the website where you can freely and legally download the 01/02 game with an updated database is still going

Vlasic was ace last year. Not sure I'll be buying it again.

Is it correct we start with a 4.5 million budget?

Yeah though not terribly surprising as it takes into account players bought in the summer, so I wouldn't expect the budget to be high for the first window. The bit I find weird is that our balance is £47m in the red, and we take out a 10 year, £45m loan in the first few days of the game to compensate.

Bit strange, have queried it on the data forum.

EDIT: Wolves seem to have the same problem, with a starting balance of £100m in debt

It will be sound for the first year and then the second the Mosh will give you loads of doe.

No reason for us (or Wolves) to be massively in the red like that, or taking out more long term loans. Needs fixing.

But surely by staying in the premier league that debt will vanish within a couple of seasons max. If you played further into saves last year the rich just kept getting richer.
