    I'm looking forward to playing as post CR7 Juve.

    Past couple editions were a bit annoying with him in the team. You can't sell due to salary and basically had to make him focal point.

    Looks good, only played two games with Juve and stopped, got an itch to try something with Del Piero when I heard he finished his badges.

    What I played though seems like engine is not very good this year. Any time I scored a goal the AI had a clear cut 1-1 chance with my GK the very next attack and always missed. And I set my defense to deep and compact to close the game and both times AI scored with a long ball over my defense that's standing very high and wide.

    Started my save and played my first game

    I beat Slavia Prague 5-0 and all five goals came from a freekick hit to Rugani at the far post. He scored two of them with his head and won three penalties.

    The third penalty, he was on a hattrick when he won it, so he took it and scored :lol:

    YOOOO, thats dope, how did you add that pic of Del Piero?
    I have a lot of them over the years from the sortitoutsi cut out pack of faces. I always play as an existing manager/real person in the world of football.

    You can search for any existing face here: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/1/search?fmid=11238, you just need to know the ID of the person, name search does not work. Del Piero is 8074.

    You can find IDs in the editor when it comes out or in game you can toggle the option to show IDs in preferences

    Oh no sadly there is no option like that, no matter how much I tweet Miles Jacobsen.

    I create a normal profile like usual, just use details of Del Piero in this case. His DoB, city, etc. I use IDs on this website just to find the profile picture I want.

    Then when you create the profile you go to FM--->Preferences--->General and find the option there to Change Profile Picture. Then choose the picture you downloaded and voila.

    I usually use Allegri. but not during beta since there is no editor available and I need it to retire the real Allegri before starting a save. Cannot have two Allegri's in game :D

    ADP is not in right now so no problem there

    So, I end my first season with Juventus:

    The players that I bring: Vlahovic, Tchoumani, Praxedes and Vanderson (Praxedes was of my brazilian team, Internacional, that was sought for Red Bull team here because my team needs money, Vanderson is from the rival, really promising right wing).

    I sought Ramsey only.

    I won serie A in the last matches, I lost semi final of coppa to Inter, but I won semi in Champions against them. Good season.

    I start new season now, and fucking god, Rovella is soooo good. Praxedes is mediocre, sadly fm not agreat with me about his potencial. Vanderson I just started use now, he looks good in the game. Maybe too much badly with air balls, but really good ofensivily.

    Got a bit of playing time in, some experience with the match engine.

    The major positive is the improvement in cutbacks/ centering. Finally my inverted wingers and fullbacks dribble down the lengths of the pitch then turn inside and pass to on rushing CMs and my CAM instead of shooting/ crossing at nothing. Its a major improvement in AI imo.

    I feel like the team actually follows the instructions I have put out, i can see them in action during the match, in an improved way over the previous version.

    The negative is how often I have ended matches with 30 shots, 15 on target, 65+ possession but the opposition has 1 solitary chance and scores it. Though that isn't a new in FM

    Yeah I defenitely noticed the improvement in wingplay, decision making and generally more incisive attacking there. Feels more real.


    Unlike your full season heroes, cant say much since I'm just beginning of season still (in october), playing super attacking tactic with 3 CFs with PSG lol, so have tons of insane amount of shots taken games, against Troyes, had like 40 shots, won 1-0 lol (realistic cuz real psg are inept sometimes against small sides). Then I have a game like this and I rejoice :D
