Football Manager 2017

anyone on here playing the game ? I downloaded the demo, as I haven't played FM since 12, and the whole thing confused me I didn't know what I was doing and after about half hour of total confusing I removed the game, and now its on offer on steam and wondering how others are finding it ?

I gave up on football manager after 15, the new styles confused me so much and I couldn't seem to build a winning team no matter what.

I still play 12 to be honest

I've played them all and i am currently playing 17, I enjoy it, it has so many features as you have seen, but most of them can be assigned to your assistant manager to take care of making things a bit easier

Yeah I still play fm12, but after trying fm17 it blew me away, I had no idea what I was doing, unsure wether or not to buy it or just give it a miss for another couple of years

I play the handheld manager 17 game and that's simple.
I'd try Championship manager in future, not as realistic but its far easier!

I play FM Religiously lol. I'm finding 17 a lot better than 16 which seemed unrealistic when full backs were getting between 10-15 assists from crosses every season and all goals tended to just come from crosses. 17 seems to have more of a different variation of goals and I like the new social media aspect of it. but it is difficult to adjust to when you haven't played since FM12, as so much has changed.
