I need to get into 3d mode!!

Hey guys i normally play my games with the 3d off and just zip thru my games as quick as poss but im feel as tho i could be missin out on more aspects of the game.Will watchin the games on 3d or 2d help me improve my tactics?

Try and find out...

Do you watch games in 2D?

If you just have commentary then there is no way you will ever learn about tactics with just that.

Normally just commentry and at fast pace.I normally download tactic but i think this is takin away my sense of achievment away.

3D is excellent once you get use to it

Try the demo and see if 3D is smooth enough for you on your laptop/PC. If it is, then you will be hooked on 3D for life my friend

Ok will try it when the demo comes out.Thanks for ur thots.

Yeah, I love the dots, but 3D really helps you see what a player is doing.

I would say it's a little harder to read whether your tactics are working as opposed to 2D (for me the bird's eye view in 2D helps a lot with this) but 3D certainly helps me to figure out who's playing well and who's just dead wood.

Plus the goals look WAY better in 3D

In my experience of FM09, the commentary is of limited use when it comes to trying to figure out where your tactics are going wrong - you get much more feedback using the 2D and 3D views.

the commentary is simply *wrong* as of latter years. it is highly inaccurate at the very best. unfortunately, as it's my preferred "view", or lack of view to be more precise.

you should definitely use 2D or 3D view to get some feedback. but the feedback is only as good as your eyes. observe! pay attention and you'll be fine.

3D. As much as I loved 2D, I just cant play the game without the 3D option. I get right into the mix of things, and its the best way of representing whether your team is playing the style of play you want them to be playing with.

Looks even better this year.

Do u watch the full game or highlights as i feel the games could drag on a bit?

Never full game. Extended highlights.

I guess you could just watch the key moments (goals, pens etc) and then make sure you study all the stats and report elements to understand who has performed/underperformed.

But there's something great watching your wing wizard beat two to three men to then lay off the ball to the forward who manages to destroy the move by ballooning it over the bar, while I punch the air in disgust.

I've never really watched either 2D or 3D games, I just used to speed through commentary waiting for the flash, becuase my laptop couldnt handle it and partly becuase thats what I was used to. But now I've got a nice new laptop I will definatly give the new 3D a try.

I dont think tactics is that important in FM. People just read into it too deep. I've always played the same 4-4-2 whatever the team & I've always done very well, I haven't conceeded for 22 games in my current game & undefeated for 61 & only ever watch 2D with com
