Never a fan of seeing a player come on cold to take a penalty, just don’t see the logic. Moyes got that horribly wrong sadly. If he does not trust Rice with pens, will he make a sub in a game when we get a pen after 5 mins?! Makes no sense. The lack of back up striker is going to cost us as was shown today. We missed Antonio terribly. In other news, Zouma was superb again.

Blimey, not posted in here for ages! Took a long break but happy to be back in the thread. Perfect European performance. Zouma oozes class and brings a top quality mentality to the back line, he was constantly talking and pointing and taking the lead at the back. He even brought the best out of Diop. Full credit to Moyes. The team has an identity and even fringe players coming in know their roles. We look a decent side! Such a shame we have Antonio suspended for the weekend though.

Now official - pushed out to 19 Nov.

Day 1 on Xbox Gamepass - nice! https://www.footballmanager.com/games/football-manager-2022#desktop

Yeah I’ll be day 1 too, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially once you got past the intro and had the free roam open. Thought it ran smooth too, even during the mass races. Eurogamer were very happy with it: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-08-25-riders-republic-might-be-the-best-extreme-sports-game-in-an-age

It's 50 players on PS5 /SX and 20 on previous gen I think for full release.

Just had an hour in my lunchbreak on Series X and really enjoyed it. Yes, it has the usual Ubisoft cut scenes but you can skip thankfully. I was expecting to find the controls difficult to start with but found the bikes, skiing, ski board, jet pack etc really accessible. Graphically looks decent enough but not shouting 'next gen'. There is a nice exploration option which can be even undertaken on a ski bike which I though was kinda cool. I enjoyed Steep so will be looking forward to the full release.

Ok that’s odd, don’t recall registering for it, perhaps they have added certain users automatically. I’ll keep an eye on my emails then.

I’ll take one please milko, also popped a DM. Have invited to add as friend via Ubisoft Connect , you will see it from ‘djbmidge’. Thanks!

FYI. Out today on EA Play so Xbox Gamepass Ultimate too. Happy to dip into via GU rather than pay full price for 21.
