Thanks for the heads up on the the other comments too.. currently have it through game pass but will get it on epic too just in case it gets taken off game pass in the future.

[@wardy940]

Pretty new to the newer versions of FM. Is it normal to be getting like 20-30 shots in the pre season friendlies? Opponents have been getting like 5-10 shots in. Playing as Bayer Leverkusen and not played anyone decent so far.

[@joshuakimmich9536]

It's normal. Every team start with low match sharpness, it'll take a few games to get them upto normal. But if you're getting outplayed by every weak opponent, there's some serious problems/misbalance within the squad

[@wardy940]

@@joshuakimmich9536 I wasn't been outplayed, I smashing everyone like 5-0. But it sorted itself out when I got into the regular season.

[@degsy1976]

I preferred the old games when wingers and fullbacks crossed the ball into the box rather than cutting it back to the halfway line from the byline. I also vaguely remember when strikers scored one on ones. Those were fun. I've had half my team complaining that I wasn't being fair to a player by not offering him a new contract, despite the fact he had been offered a new contract and was considering it. The there was my team unhappy with me about being mid table, despite the fact we'd played half as many games as the rest of the league due to Europe, and we'd won every game This game is hopeless. Too many stupid bugs.

[@Adrian-zn7cy]

I got it yesterday, never played fm before and i found it very complicated

[@AurioDK]

There is a striker soft cap on about 20 goals per striker in the premier league excluding penalties. When a striker hits the soft cap he will simply stop scoring, that´s been my experience with 20 seasons in the PL. Calling it a "soft" cap because if you made your own team of only superstars I am sure they could break that cap given enough chances in front of goal. As it currently stands I am ranked 1 in the world with Gateshead and have only elite players, currently have 6 elite strikers and they all get exactly around 20 goals and just stop scoring after that, only the penalty taker exceeds that tally. It seems to apply to the AI as well, the only ones I have seen exceeding the 20 goal cap are penalty takers.

[@iam_nick]

Great choice of your club. Really great choice :)

[@progamerxxx3511]

It doesn't seem all that different to FM 2011 which is the last version I have played. I hope they've not gone too far down the rabbit hole with press conferences, and made every single little bit of tactics overly detailed. By which I mean you have to specify how often a defender tackles and moves into a certain part of the pitch, whether a winger wears pink or blue boots and runs like a crab.........
