Recommended Posts

I just search for 'psp promo' everytime Im on ebay and I came across this, I should have it on monday so anyone with any questions they'd like me to try and answer before the games launch just ask!

A quick word of warning - I believe there was a 0.02 version produced for reviewers preview evaluation (disclaimer - I may be wrong about this as I'm a coder and not involved in production at all, but I've a feeling that this was a preview build).

However as the version number suggests this probably isn't the same as the final release version of the game and as such isn't at all the same as the final game (ie. please don't complain if you get anything untoward happen on the game - I'm afraid you're purchasing a version which shouldn't be available for sale and isn't the final product at all).

thanks for the heads up Marc, I got it for a good price and I was intending to buy the retail verion anyway, maybe just wont rush out as quick on launch day now though.

I'll just treat is a sort of preview for myself...

Got the game today... icon_cool.gif

the 1st thing I noticed is a new option when selecting a player, 'position'

for example, Lee Bullen, DRC at sheffield wednesday, when clicking position it now tells you how he would fare in other positions eg.

hes 'natural' at centre back, accomplished at right back, LB, CF, CM, RF and competent in load more positions, and the 'unconvincing' at LM, LWB, LW...

this is somethng I suggested and very pleased to see it implemented.

feel free to ask me absolutly any question about the game and I'll try and answer it. obviously cant comment on editing features as I dont have instruction.

I have a screenshot application installed on my psp so i'll try and get some uploaded if I can

a word on the reserves,

this new feature doesn't seem much to shout about (so far), my 1st impression of it is basically just a way for you to fir more players in your squad as there is no apparent reserves league, they play friendlys but you dont seem to get match reports from them.

QUOTE] A few questions:

a) Does the reserve system work well and is there a reserve league?

b) can you re-train a players position?

c) doubtful but still, are there finances and if you win a cup, is there prize money?[

not too sure about the reserves yet, doesn;t seem like anythng more than somewhere to 'store' more players, unsure about players positions as yet but seems like a no and no sign of finances (not won a cup yet!)

(bear in mind the version of the game Im playing is a version not intended for retail and therefor may vary slightly from the retail version)

To be honest, that's exactly what was needed - a place to dump the crap while you're trying to sell them, so they don't clutter up your first team.

Mightyowl28,

Would you mind ripping that odd little UMD of yours and throwing the ISO online so others can test it too?

Don't worry, I have bought all the previous versions of FMH so I certainly won't settle for a downloaded BETA, I have a collection to build...

That would be blatantly illegal and I'm sure Mightyown28 wouldn't do that.

This is one of hte reasons imho why despite decent sales of the hardware itself the PSP is struggling to get games created for the console (rather than cheap ports) - simply put people are vast fast to copy games rather than purchase them.

Bah humbug I know - but it does annoy me as with any product there is a point where it becomes non-commercially viable and at that point it ceases to be created, I've seen this happen in the past with various games and would really prefer it not to happen to one of mine.

PS - We add a load of stuff to our PSP games to bulk out ISO's and as much as possible try and prevent this from happening incidentally ... having to do this does detract from the time and effort we can put into making the games unfortunately, but its a neccassary evil.

Yes it has - we've changed the UI so that Demote/Promote (ie. move to B team/A team) is on the menu bar now and the offer to clubs is selectable using the circle button.

That's really good news. In 07 I never played in an other country than England because of this. Because my tactic is quite dependant of thisicon_razz.gif So thanks a lot Marc.
