Fair enough, even if I don't agree with it. It's purely a personal opinion, as it seemed like going any further would be extremely unpopular with a lot of people. I can understand that viewpoint too, even if I don't reallyget it. I was just looking forward to something a bit different, and now I'm tossing my toys out. Harrumph. Didn't they make Brexit an optional thing when it was first released post vote? It would've been interesting if they did do a Covid database that was optional. It would be an interesting challenge to have some Covid restrictions put on your save, but if it was forced, it would just be an absolute pain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they'd end up going down a route kind of like that. Have the leagues start at the later times, and have no crowds, then just randomise the point when a vaccine magically gets announced between Christmas 2020 and Summer 2021 or something. Then everything goes back to normal post that. Adds some kind of dynamic nature to things, some kind of interest, and they could still avoid having people actually get Covid (although personally I think that would've been interesting). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just in the earlier ones post votes there was loads of different Brexit scenarios I.e. no Brexit, Scotland and/or Wales and/or N Ireland go independent and stay in the EU while England leaves etc.This year it’s totally enforced with just minor work permit differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swore there was something that was included in game, but was optional but maybe I'm mistaken! Looking back, it's quite strange that they were so against Covid but happy to include Brexit. Especially in the earlier days when no one actually knew what effect it would have on football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're meant to have dramatically reduced budgets, and the AI is meant to avoid major fees in the first window, before things start returning to normal over the course of the first season. Suspect the full game will represent this better than then beta. 6 hours ago, Connor1874 said: Looking back, it's quite strange that they were so against Covid but happy to include Brexit. Apparently its because Covid has had such a negative effect on so many peoples lives they didn't want to remind people of it if they "escaped" into FM to try and distract themselves. They work with a mental health charity who maybe helped that decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Amusing end to my first Aberdeen season. Niall McGinn scored an injury time winner for us at Ibrox in our penultimate game of the season (his first goal of the season), and then we drew 2-2 with Celtic at Pittodrie on the final day. Celtic subsequently won the league over Rangers on goal difference. Gerrard has since accused us of lying down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m romping league one with Queens Park as expected with the huge wage budget. 19 wins, 3 draws and zero defeats so far at the start of the January window and a 20 point lead over East Fife and Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game officially out tonight, so demo should be available too. Always worth giving that a go before buying it first if you're genuinely wavering about the decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I was gonna can my beta save when the real game came out but I'm attached to my Ayr squad now, in the title race in the championship to the second last game is about as good as expected. If we go up in the playoffs I'll keep it going even though season 2 is about managing debt according to the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGMilne Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Jumping in with an apology to Dundee fans and data purists. One of my absolute last things I did before the data lock was add Jack Wilkie into the game, but on autopilot I've made him 26 rather than 16.
