I'm still playing FM 2016 :heh:

Is there VAR in 2020? :ohhh:

I'm still on FM 12! For two reasons:

1) imo it was the last 'great' game of the series, which still has things like sliders for tactics that you can adjust one-by-one and really micromanage. And although it has a lot of pointless crap that wastes time (press conferences etc.) there's less of it than in the recent titles.

2) I've got a long term save going, reached all the way to 2024 having started in 2011. The goal of the save is to win the World Cup with a team from each continent, as well as in the meantime creating an unstoppable powerhouse in European club football. The second part is done, I've won 10 Champions Leagues in a row :mjlol: but the first mission is seriously difficult. In three attempts I've only won one World Cup, with Ghana in 2018 :wow: I'm not ready to move on from this save until I win the World Cup with five teams from five continents. Now it's taken me like 3 irl years to play through 13 years in-game, so theoretically the best I can do is about 4-5 irl years from now if I win four consecutive World Cups (unlikely). So it'll probably be past 2030 IRL by the time I'm done with this save :russ:

I've been getting back into football over the past couple of months. It's cool to watch games while I'm training, which I also got back into doing weightlifting and whatnot at home during the lockdown. Glad to see my Inter doing pretty well! We're back :bustback:

Man I want to complain about there not being like an Amazon Prime/Netflix for football. I had to cop two different subscriptions, one to watch Serie A so I can watch Inter, and then one to watch Champions League, Europa League, and international football. The good thing is that both of those packages come with a lot of extras - the Serie A one is through Kayo Sports here in Australia, which also includes Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 as well as a whole bunch of different sports, and the Champions League one also includes Premier League and (lol) Korean and Japanese football too. But still, I'm paying fukking $40 a month for all that. I would be so much happier paying say $30 a month for a single service that has everything I wanted. Imagine if you could actually pick and choose which specific leagues/sports you wanted to subscribe to, and work out a custom deal at a custom price with the provider. By rights I should be getting what I want for $20 or even $15 a month. I'm not trying to watch fukking Ligue 1 or Korean or Japanese football :scust:

The last thing I want to say is that neutral games just aren't hitting without a crowd being there. Unless I have a strong reason to support one team, I find them pretty boring because of how silent they are and the total lack of atmosphere
