I know you ' re taking the piss , but there are some genuine issues with the way Brexit is implemented into FM . Brexit hasn ' t officially happened yet . Without knowing the full measure of the consequences , implementing it into the game is arguably premature . Additionally as it hasn ' t happened IRL yet SI are forced to have it happen at a random time ingame , within the frame of 210 years . This is an inconsistency that does not in any way reflect the actual situation and , again , points to the implementation being premature . The consequences of Brexit aren ' t clear at this point . Therefore SI have chosen to have the game randomly assign one of three scenarios , with huge differences in how it affects your game . The softest one will mean no consequences at all , while the hardest one will completely reshape and dictate how you play . Now , some people might argue that randomness is , in general , a key feature in FM with regards to player performance , injuries , match outcomes etc , so randomness shouldn ' t be a problem in this case either . I ' d argue this is a completely useless argument based on faulty logic . FM is a simulation game , and there ' s no RNG involved in other competition rules they are in fact meant to be as precise as possible . I ' m as much of an FM fanboy as the next guy here , I love the game and of course I bought FM 17 as well . But along with the Social Media feature , the Brexit feature seems entirely out of place . The former is another discussion in itself I ' ll just point out that it doesn ' t really serve any useful purpose but Brexit has been dealt with in a poor way imo . If they had made it an option we could turn off , then all the problems would go away instantly . They didn ' t .
