richmccart Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can anyone from SI confirm what the background will be during a match if you are only looking at the text view - will it still be the 'green field' backdrop that is currently in FMH 2010?

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted August 30, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted August 30, 2010 Can anyone from SI confirm what the background will be during a match if you are only looking at the text view - will it still be the 'green field' backdrop that is currently in FMH 2010? It'll be something along those lines in both FMH and FMHi .... can I ask why you're asking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted August 31, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted August 31, 2010 He may want a fresh look or something. Was wondering more along the lines of what he was hoping for tbh (as personally I miss the days when we had stadium backdrops but legal stuff prevents that today).

xSEARLEYx Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Cant you try get stadium backgrounds for Licsenced teams or something? Or at least a similar background to that of FMH2009? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Marc - thanks for asking!! It probably sounds daft, but to me it makes a huge difference to the whole 'matchday' experience what the backdrop is. I literally couldn't get into FMH 2008 mostly because the backdrop whilst playing a match was just the standard backdrop that you had during other aspects of the game. I thought that the FMH 2010 backdrop of a green pitch was at least a bit closer to representing what I thought a matchday backdrop should be. I, like yourself no doubt, was gutted to lose the stadium pictures after CM 00/01, to me the game has never been the same since (Despite all the other improvements). I appreciate I'm probably in the minority though! I just like to visualise where my team are playing when a match is underway. It was especially good when you were a lower league team and drew a Prem team in the FA Cup - seeing your team playing against a backdrop of Anfield or whatever really added something to the atmosphere of those games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the FMH 2009 matchday backdrop just that picture of a bloke with a yellow/black tie (i.e Same as the main menu picture?). Would rather have a green field than that!!

Would be good if there could be some way of having different views for when you're at home or away from home. Even just a 'still' picture of the 2D Stadium match view screen with text running along the bottom would be an improvement. The colour of the stands at the stadium could change depending on who the home team was?? Surely that must be do-able? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. One last thing - during a match, is there any scope to have the text appearing over the centre of the screen (As per the old CM games), rather than at the bottom of the screen? I'm sure one day I'll get over my obession of trying to re-create the old CM series... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
