Who still uses 2D Classic

Until the 3D match engine is improved drastically, I still love watching the 2D classic view

Does anyone else use this classic view?

Yeah, did on last year's version but now use 2D (not classic).

I prefer using my imagination for player moves and shots etc. instead of seeing a choppy 3D model do it

I did, I tend to just use the commentary now.

Well said. Thats exactly why I use it. Until the 3D ME becomes a revelation and has some fluidity to it, I'll be sticking with 2D

Up until this version I used 2d. For some strange reason on FM10/09, whenever I used 3D I would loose, therefore It was some sort of omen to me.

LOL. I used to think that I would never win on only commetary at one stage. FM can make you do some strange things

Always 2D classic, always try to change to 3D every year but never get used to it, and well 2D (not the classic one) doesn't get a look in

I used 2D classic until this year when I've made the switch. I'm not 100% sold on the 3D yet so might change back in a month or so.

I use it and do not plan on switching to 3D

Still 2D Classic here.

commentar all the way

I do, for some reason I am yet to look at the Mesa drivers on linux make the 3D (and 2D non-classic) all black and crap, so I use 2D classic.

Gonna look into it at some point, I dont wanna install the ATI drivers *pah*

Once you see your players celebrating a goal in fine style and many differing styles and looking downheartened when they let in a goal or get booked you will realise why 3D is here to stay>>

I only use 3D in LLM, but 99% of the times i use 2D classic.

2D classic is the best

Still 2D Classic here.

I refuse to use the 3D match engine because it looks awful and cannot compare to the brilliance of 2D

My only downfall is I can't see volleys etc..

2D classic forever & always.

Actually ever since the 3d view was introduced I never gave the 2d view a second thought. That was until very recently where I’ve once again fell in love with the 2d view, it’s now my favourite view, it’s so much more informative. I find the 3d view I get too distracted with the fancy graphics, plus the 2d view leave a little to the imagination.

Abso-bloody-lutely!

I used to, up until this version.

I must say I like it turned up to high detail, finally I feel that what I see on screen feeds back enough info for me to know how the game is going, if that makes sense.

I use 2D, not 2D classic.

Tactically it's infinitely superior to 3D.

I didn't think anyone used 2D ahead of 2D classic, it just looks so awful.

2D looks miles better on mine? Hang on I'll do some screenies.

The animation is also only smooth on 2D, really jerky on 2D classic.

That's what mine looks like too.

2D is smoother, but the players look so... weird.

How can a little circle look weird?

Is it the feet that are throwing you off?

The feet are a bit weird.

The feet are very weird!

It doesn't look so bad there actually but using full screen mode, it just looks horrible.

I used to last year but ahve switched back to 3D. Could be tempted though

There are lots of people including me who could not enjoy so much with any other cameras.

Exactly the same, I bought a £500 laptop with very good graphics card, running it on high settings for the first time and I was dissapointed. Being out for 3 years I thought the graphics would be better. So I still watch it in the good old classic 2D!

I use 2D classic.

No no good folk, 3D is the only way to go; watching the players tackle, get skinned, nutmeg and do fancy passes all add to the overall enjoyment.

You have to take that deep breath and join us and as SI said whether its 2d, 2d classical or 3d, the ME is the same - so come and join us, be converted, see the light, you wont look back!!!

2d classical for me, always has been a game played in the imagination

Personally I feel that watching my FM players run and control the ball like a pack of mentally and physically challenged apes takes away from the enjoyment a bit. Each to their own though, I guess

+1, that

Reminds me of little tarantulas for some reason!

Strange to see people complaining about the 3D graphics, yet preferring 2D :S Confuses me.

I used 2D for tactical analysis right up until FM10, but this year I've been taken in completely by 3D for everything other than very intricate tactical design which calls for me to see the entire pitch at once for defensive lines, full-back runs etc.

Just to add, the Match Engine is identical whether watching it in 2D or 3D. I'm pretty sure you knew that but just thought I'd note that!

I'm on the verge of going back to FM10.3, if I do, I will definitely use 2d Classic. The match graphics in FM11 is one of the best things about the game.
