Jamadinho Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 i miss crazy arrows so much....used to make me win so many game NOT HAVIN CRAZY ARROWS IS LIKE PLAYING COD4......without guns???!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Your last line is stupid. If there were no footballs involved then maybe but what you say is ludicrous to be honest. They were taken out due to confusion about there function and how they exploited the match engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would like to see them put back in as i can't tell my wingers to cut inside etc anymore, which has meant that i have had to develop a new tactic The new tactic works really well though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually meant the position where the player moves in possesion, the origninal position is where they went without the ball. It essentially meant players were often robotically moving into a position and the player did not consider the ball position and other player position.

hamilton162 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ok, fair enough. But if that can be sorted out, then i would like to see them re-introduced into future FM's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ok, fair enough. But if that can be sorted out, then i would like to see them re-introduced into future FM's Urm, don't want to state the obvious but arrows are in FM09 are do exactly what you thought they did before. The only thing lacking is horizontal movement which has been discussed to death and I imagine will improve in FM10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowSimao Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I don't think we need the arrows back, but we need some more instructions. For example: -Stay in Position -Cut Inside -Move Out Wide That would be all we need to replace the arrows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_132 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 the arrows were fun, but they wont come back. i do think there needs to be a way to tell players to cut inside, eg i find i can never get the most out of players like messi, as an average right footed quick winger outperforms him every time. also maybe you should be able to tell certain players they have license to roam within a specific area, which you set, seeing as though creative freedom high is a bit vague Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ritchie Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Judging by the feedback so far to 9.3.0's match engine, I think it's pretty unlikely they'd be coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 As long as more PPM's are included next year that replace the arrows, i would be fine with the arrows not coming back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example: -Stay in Position -Cut Inside -Move Out Wide That would be all we need to replace the arrows I agree, arrows have no place in the game and offered to realistic benefits, just artificial and unrealistic ones. The options above would be useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would like them back because I liked them. Plus, in a real football tactic you do have arrows like that and you just tell your player if he has forward runs on or not, like in the old versions.

Macca2oo7 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Now the PPM we really need back is 'tries tricks'. With a high quality zoomed in picture, watching that would be amazing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkae Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 all that would need to be implemented would be 2 sliders, then you could get rid of the arrows all together. Stay out wide [__________I_________]cut in sit in the hole [___________I_________]Push forward (kinda already there in defensive/attacking) this way you can state how often you want them to do these things like a dm playing mc sit in about 90% and vies versa for an amc.

VonBlade Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 All they need is an instruction to cut in as im not sure how to make my wingers do that. The only way you can do it is to make the whole team play narrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaban Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Plus, in a real football tactic you do have arrows like that Name one team where a manager gives out to a player the instruction "When we have the ball, always run to that place, regardless of what's happening around you. Even if the ball is right next to you, ignore it. run there. 100% of the time. Then stay there and don't move", which is what those arrows did.

given1legend Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 The only way you can do it is to make the whole team play narrow. Yeah i know and i don't want that. I want a certain right footed winger to cut in from the left with my left footed full back staying wide and overlapping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timcliffsmith Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Judging by the feedback so far to 9.3.0's match engine, I think it's pretty unlikely they'd be coming back. Really? Is 9.3 that much of an improvement on 9.2? I hope so because 9.2 looked decent on first viewing but after watching it for a while it just wasn't any good. Certain patterns just repeated endlessly - not at all like actual football. I hope 9.3 is better, I haven't actually played it that much yet cos Steam automatically downloaded it and ballsed up my game. Results just started to plummet. Thanks. I then tried all manner of things to get 9.2 back so that I could at least enjoy a bit of success after months of frustration but...no, have had to completely uninstall, despite that Steam went and automatically put 9.3 back in - even though I changed it to not auto update. Brilliant thinking SI. So, now I've had to uninstall Steam. My Saturday of FM09 has turned into a nightmare. Thanks again. Why does 9.03 have to hijack ALL your save games, why can't you choose to apply it or not? Well thought through. Congratulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
