Right, I just meant is there any notable transfers that aren't updated as of now on early access...I was thinking if the BPL rosters look pretty accurate with youth and transfers done then I might start the career mode now rather than waiting for any updates in a week or two.

No, rosters are accurate as long as you download the latest when starting the career.

Youth players are in there, the ratings could use some tweaking though.

Man, the impressions in here sound too good to be true!

Elsewhere I see a lot of complaints that teams are still playing mostly the same, especially on the higher difficulty settings, and they mostly play possession style and it's way too difficult to get the ball off them.

Really hope the impressions here are more spot-on cause it's reading like a dream in here right now.

I read on Reddit they expanded the max roster size for squads. That should be nice with respect to youth academies and training. Just hope the loan logic in CM is better.

Hilarious how excited this thread is about the winter gear bug being fixed. If QB is around I can imagine he is probably jumping for joy.

I'll believe it when I see it.

The summer tournaments are pretty cool... played RM last night and they started the game with a mix of starting 11 players and youth players. In the 2nd half they brought on Ronaldo, Modric and James and the pace changed immediately. Was neat to see how these 3 impacted the game immediately in their own special ways.

That's fantastic. I need to start a career tonight.

Had pretty much the same experience playing them in the pre season tourney. It was also nice to see teams in these doing more than 3 subs also. And actually starting young guys, not just subbing them in later in the game.

My worry with the way they've done preseason is now that there's money to be won, how likely are you going to experiment in the preseason like real teams do?

What happens if you start your managerial career with a minor team in the English league 2? What tournaments do you play in? Also minor teams have very small squads so can't have endless subs.

You still get three choices, in cups with teams closer to your level. But the money prize is much less than the bigger ones the bigger clubs can enter. There are 3 lower level, 3 mid level and 3 top level. Depending on your club you get offers based on the group you fall into.

Its worth experimenting if you want. I'm sure some people wont. But the way the funds are layed out you get a decent chunk for making it out of the group stage. Then win or lose in the semi you get a big chunk. And then win or lose in the final you get an even bigger chunk. I got 850k for getting out of group. Lost in the semi and got 2.5M. So you can experiment like I did and still get a good chunk of funds.

This is offline CM so do as you wish. I will personally experiment. Losing some potentual funds is worth finding out how my squad is. I do not play my stars in early rounds of the FA Cup and stuff. Of course if others want they should go all out and play the best each match.

IDK how sim you play is your call. Sometimes I call up young players for International friendlies, sometimes I play the countries best. There is no right or wrong to me in offline gaming.

I prefer a realistic experience in CM but maybe I'm not as strong-willed as you 'cause if there's a couple mil on the table, I could see myself playing to win rather than experimenting.

Obviously people can choose to play how they want, but the point is that I'd rather see CM's features be realistic to begin with.

It's not a big deal in the end but personally I would have been fine if they'd just have let us choose our opponents for preseason and give us the proper number of subs. For years that's all we've really been asking for.

You don't have to do a pre season tourney, you can do regular games and still have the subs. But you can't choose your opponents.
