Guiseley have had a successful takeover!

Zero investment. Fair enough

Due to new vision the affiliate with Leeds has been severed

Brilliant idea. I wasn't hopeful of getting some decent loan players for zero wages nor do we need about 5x the weekly wages coming in for playing a single friendly next pre-season. Nob'eds

Splashed the cash with an official Premier League license it wouldn't appear.

That was all there for FM25 if it had ever appeared.

I fear my laptop will not be up to it, techy wise. Will probably have to wait until I have to upgrade.

Been playing FM24 Mobile version the last few weeks. A lot less going on. Some parts are simplified and some are just removed. I like it as you don't have to spend hours tinkering with every section or pass it over to the AI and hope they don't fuck it.

There's also an achievement thing you can unlock which removes work permits which is really nice.

Assuming some of you have tried it but just thought I'd mention any way. A lot more friendly for those who don't have much time per day to pick it up.

Made me chuckle.

Trying to buy a highly rated RB. Got close to a deal and added Doc in part exchange. They took Doc off and accepted at the same price.

Can't give the bugger away!

You know how you get a "manager's son" and he's always shit and you end up giving him to Darlington for £20 and a packet of crisps?

My boy just scored the winner in the Champion's League Final

Just to prevent a shoeing - I confirm I did not 'name' him, it was generated. But I don't hate it

I just edited my own real life son into the game and made him amazing

Reviews are absolutely dreadful

I’ve only played a few hours but im enjoying it! I’ve been away from the game in terms of playing it properly for a few years so the UI doesn’t feel as egregious to me and the tactics and actual matches feel good. I’m very much a ‘delegate as much as possible’ type though these days so there are lots of missing features I won’t know about.

There’s tons of bugs though and it definitely wasn’t ready. Feels like lots of stuff was never even checked past an initial process of putting in the game especially with the UI. Adding extra clicks to get to things for no reason and just things that don't feel logical at all.

It’s obviously been done in order to try and get something that works for PC and console rather than having to have two different UIs but it doesn’t really seem ideal for either now.

It's alright but it just looks so poor. The UI looks like something that's been cobbled together, you wouldn't have it from a first year college student let alone a dev team that have apparently been working on it for a couple of years.

It's buggy af, and I've had to ALT+F4 a couple of times as it just was just stuck and wouldn't move on.

The game itself is slow inbetween things, there's a mod to speed it up but that shouldn't be necessary.

Not very realistic though, I've won 3 friendlies as Wolves with Arias being the main man... might apply for the real thing.

I think they just put a patch out that fixes over 300 issues that sounds like it’s helped the performance as well.
