cormaclovett Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i have just bought the game. i pick newcastle. i choose my starting X1. next i tell my left winger to cut inside... wait, no i don't. i cannot tell my left winger to cut inside. he can either go forwards or backwards - just like every other player. what is going on? if this is progress then i am getting very worried. for years on cm => fm games we have been able to tell players where we want them to go. now for some reason we cannot. the default formation has centre backs going backwards and full backs going forwards - what is going on? that does not make sense. if this is the price we have to pay for a 3d match engine, i would prefer a proper 2d engine (or even a text only version that actually simulated real life). fm is changing a lot and i'm not sure it's all for the best.

jod123 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It is nothing to do with the 3d match engine. SI removed those arrows for several reasons which have been discussed to death here on the forums. The arrows you see now reflect the player forward runs individual instruction. Set it to rarely and you see backward arrows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Not another arrows thread These threads remind me of how poo 09 is and make me cry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I miss the arrows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wasn't it due to the M.E not being good enough to handle the arrows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 It was because they made it too easy to exploit looholes in the ME. Not a good enough reason AFAIC! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandemonium Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I think it would have been much better if they kept the arrows but shortened their length. For example, a MR could have an arrow that can only go up to AMr, WBr, MC, or outwards. Same as PES arrows if you are familiar with that game. Much more realistic imo.

Goon14 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 yes but still without the arrows, players are too stiff....like robhino when playing for Brazil he is all over the pitch. left right middle...how do you make that in fm 09? ehhhh you cant the arrows are gone. we need them back made the game more fun!

mimland Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ofcourse they made the game more fun, they made it possible to exploit weaknesses in the AI and made everyone win everything with anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
