FM22

Anyone got this?
I recently bought a laptop, and it struggles to run it, so clearly not good enough.

In process of returning, and now looking at an alternative.

Can anyone with a bit of knowledge help?
Original one was a HP Chromebook thingy, and was less than £200, so not surprised it struggled!

I just don't want to spend loads, as it will only really be used for this!

Google search 'Best laptops under £200', use the link on the trust website for cashback to the trust or Quidco etc. for yourself.

I use to have this problem until I bought a new laptop this year. I tend to buy my games(I only play football manager and Sid Meirs  Civilization V eg Iam not a big gamer) on steam which is a online pc store if you dont know already. Sadly if you do want to play the latest football manager games you will need a half decent laptop although nothing too fancy. I imagine in the region of £400 -£600.

Try using this site below  as well. Helps you determine whether your laptop can run  the latest games.  I suppose you can get the system requirements for football manager 2022 and run it through a sales adviser online via currys to make sure you have got a laptop that plays the game as well.

Ive got the football manager 2021 version but wont be buying the next football manager series for around another 4 years. Dont think getting a new game every year is worth it.

You could try techradar they give pretty good advice

I bought a new laptop off AO which has flexible payments over 4 years with 50 quid cashback, AO also do laptops with upto £100 cashback at the moment. FM22 runs like a dream! Not much on the game itself has changed however the match engine is better.

Town on mine start with £60,000 budget with a wage budget of around £36,000.

Morais went to AFC Wimbledon   and Lenny is out for a year so bringing in Lee Novak.

Loved this GTFC heavy article about the old champ manager

Problem is, due to chip shortages, laptops are quite a bit more expensive than they were pre-pandemic.

If you can wait around a little, I'd wait until the 'Black Friday' weekend and then keep your eyes open for deals. Ought to be able to save yourself a hundred quid on a decent enough laptop, though you're talking over 400 these days instead of over 300.

Alternatively, keep an eye on hotukdeals - you have to move pretty quickly when good offers are posted there, however.

I'm still on CM01/02. There's an active online community who update the game (data & patch the original game exe).

If you get the chance and can afford it get the updated games. I use to play the old style football manager  game like you till around 5 years ago. Jump in gameplay is massive and much more enjoyable in my opinion.

Too detailed for me. I bought various games after CM0102 (which was the last version of CM3) and didn't enjoy any of them.
