FM2010 blogs - no.13

going to check it now

But is the press conference different in other ways

I'am really gald that you guys are taking notice of some of the small features that are in the game. I think that if you improve lots of small features it will mean a big change overall, and a better experience. I'am looking forward to the podcast aswell !

good stuff miles, i'm especially pleased and looking forward to the manager at games feature!!!

the media stat on staff will greatly help too

will i be able to create a world cup for clubs with the editor

Interesting to see the 'Feeder Clubs' have been looked at.

Regarding 'Commercial' Feeder Clubs, is there anything different in FM10 to FM09? Things such as touring the US, China or Japan, signing players from the nation of your Feeder Club had little or no effect in FM09, but i hope it's been looked at for FM10.

It's the apparently small additions that add so much emersion to the game experience. Features such as shutting off terraces, which you mention, will be fantastic. With that and the improved 3D I'm expecting to turn into a hermit from release day.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more exclusive news on FM2010. It’s a special day tomorrow, as it also marks the return of the Football Manager Podcast!

So what is the special that you have said???

Now that the podcasts are about to start does this mean that there will no longer be any blogs? I only ask because I am not really a fan of the podcasts and don't plan on listening. If there are to be no more blogs then I'll just keep reading the posts here and hope that someone mentions any new features.

where is podcast?

Lol i think blog 13 and blog 9 and 10 was so bad

where is podcast?

Its not available yet. Try in a couple of hours. You'll also need to have itunes installed on your computer to listen.

"A nice little touch in Football Manager 2010 is that if you declare interest in a job, and then attend a match by the club where you have interest, much in real life the media focus will fall on you being there. It will also be noticed by the supporters and the board of your prospective new club (and your own!) so the reaction of the fans and board could help, or hinder, your chances of getting the job."

Love this.

It'll be live either later tonight or tomorrow - we're awaiting it to be uploaded.

thank you miles!

ok, i'm on my ps3's browser and it's not that easy to use so i posted it here to be quick.

I have a question for Miles.

Was the bug with "1 striker, 1 ofensive midfielder behind him" fixed this time around ?

I've posted it after I think the 2006 release, and the last FM release, and it still wasn't fixed.

This bug just kills the beauty of watching 4-2-3-1 formation in action.

ps. Keep up the good work.

Blogs will be (as long as nothing unforeseen happens) every weekday up until the demo comes out.

Thanks for clearing that up Miles.

Some subtle yet interesting features I feel.

Thanks for clearing that up Miles.

so tomorrow and sunday there will a blog?

Stop doing this, its very tiresome

I like the feature were you can attend matches involving teams your interested in taking over, but I would like the same feature for players your interested in if schedules don't clash.

For example instead of 'declare your interest' you could choose 'watch next game' then if your own fixture doesn't clash you could watch the full game that he's involved in. Media could pick up your at the game and speculation could start etc

i love this idea!!!!

like last season in RL where martin oneill was almost at every game at ER watching fabian delph

slight over exaggeration with almost every game

but yeah great idea mate

Davey Moyes has done it too with some Spanish sides and stuff, would love to get that into the game.

This already happens.

This already happens.

only for international managers, there is no option to watch a player from club management level

you can go to a match anyway and if he's on your shortlist the media tend to pick up on it

As for those asking questions that aren't on the particular topic, can I please ask you not to? We'll answer what we can as long as it's in the right place.

Hi Miles,

Hope this question won't be considered too "out of place" : in the new features about feeder clubs, will it be possible to ask the board to find a club within a country ?

For example, I'm looking for any type of affiliation (let's keep it simple) with a club in Belgium -> could the board look for potential affiliated clubs in Belgium only ?

Good luck with the work left to do

cool, i was just about to ask where it was

Miles, has anything changed with the Commercial Feeder Clubs? ie. how they generate you Merchandise sales? There was suggestions of club tours of the Far East, signing Asian players etc, have any of those been implemented for Feeder Clubs?

Lukair can you please shut up?

Just a small thing, only competitive international matches require all seated as i was at the two recent Irish friendlies, which were played in a rugby stadium with only 30% of stadium being seated

I like the sound of all of the features described in the blog post, but I'm worried that the conferences are going to be just as boring. If you constantly send your assistant, what's the point in having them? I was hoping that section would have an overhaul as so many people dislike it.

Lukair can you please shut up?

Thank you. That's very nice.

I haven't insulted anyone just so you know, just being persistent with ONE single question.

This bug exists since 2006, and it's still there in 2009, and I was hoping for some official response.

I guess "shut up" will have to cut it. Thanks for advertising the game so well.

This Post is getting spammed around like the clappers - if anyone understands it can they please reply so I dont have to read it AGAIN!

I though this Mirror Blog was dull - until I read the bit about foreign youths appearing in your squad from feeder clubs- Magic!

So, another question.

The Press Conferences were quite useless in the last game. Most of the time didn't recognize the situation at hand and asking random or repeated questions most of the time.

Will they be changed this year?

I think so! Changes there must be!

''For those who have played our previous games, you'll already know how deep we go into news and media in the game''

really? sorry, but based on my experience with FM09 I cant agree with that; i thought the media side was terrible, it could be a great addition to the game so I'm really looking forward to seeing the improvements that are planned, but if FM09's media is considered ''deep'' I cant say I hold out much hope for press conferences etc in FM10

Any chance i would have an answer (from SI preferably) ?

It's been claimed previously that in current FM games doing a tour through a country previously might increase the chances of getting offered a feeder there.
