dsouthy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What do SI developers honestly think about FM2011? And do they play it at home themselves? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Manager. Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 they wont post their personal or proffesional opinion on here mate. but they do play it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't know about the first question but the answer to the second question is yes, as has been confirmed on here in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 i'm sure they are going to rush on here and say they are very disappointed with the game they have released........... I'm pretty sure they could get themselves into a lot of trouble taking personal opinions onto public forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not that I make the game, but.... I'm about 12 seasons in at present. I've never (even prior to working with them) been a big critic of SI's games - I've always enjoyed them, even CM4 although it had a few problems. I'm liking this one - i'm enjoying the scouting, the match prep, and the difficulty level seems pretty good - I've struggled at times, notably early in my career, but persevered and have thoroughly enjoyed a dabble in international management now. I reckon I'll get a good 20 seasons done before the final patch then I'll probably do what I normally do and start a game with my beloved Hatters and see how I can do with them - although at present they've been taken to the Championship in my current game which is pleasing to see...

SI Staff Ter Posted January 7, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm enjoying my game, although not particularly at the moment as I've just been knocked out of the Europa League on away goals at the semi-final stage by Dynamo Kiev after putting out Roma, Leverkusen and Fiorentina. Not happy. Just about finished my 6th season in charge of Southampton having led them to the Premiership in the first 4 seasons. Finished 6th last season and will finish 6th or 7th this season which isn't too bad. Not looking like being able to challenge the big boys unless I start to break my strict wage structure.

Fabio MVP Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm not SI member but for me 11.2.1 is the best football managment simulation ever so far. And yes I do play it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich74 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 after a few major problems with the transfer system and other things i belive the new patch has ironed out a lot of the problems, now i am enjoying the game:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
croatianfan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm wondering, how can delopers play games? They know everything, the code, core, database tips, tactics, trainings... Developers know how FM really works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm wondering, how can delopers play games? They know everything, the code, core, database tips, tactics, trainings... Developers know how FM really works. And? Let's say you designed and coded a FPS, doesn't mean you couldn't play it yourself and enjoy killing all the bad guys.

nam le Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 They have a network game setup by their boss, and if they miss any game they will be sacked IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I know there's a jokey one. If it's April 1st in real life and it gets to your Birthday in the game, then you get a message from the Board about a windfall amount of cash and the chance to "Accept" when you accept a message comes up saying "April fool's Day! Do you really think we'd make it that easy" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca1001 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think the game is great the ME engine is the best yet and cant wait for 11.3 patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Rudd Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm wondering, how can delopers play games? They know everything, the code, core, database tips, tactics, trainings... Developers know how FM really works. That doesn't necessarily mean they know how best to play them (at least, not strategy games, a set into which Football Manager falls). I'm confident, for example, that the people who first codified the current rules of chess would be soundly trounced by Magnus Carlsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My guess is that some guys do play it on their free time, while for others it probably feels like taking work home and they can't have fun with it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim justice Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 they probably wonder how they manage to con so much of the public every year into buying the game in november. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbyshuss Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 start a game with my beloved Hatters and see how I can do with them I hope that's the mighty Luton Town and not the other counterfeit hatters (whoever they are) I've managed to get us into the Champions League! Only took me 16 seasons as well..... :-s so much better being us in FM than supporting us in real life at the minute! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yep, Luton through and through. We'll be alright - just need to knock over the Dons this week and wait for the inevitable at Crawley... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 they probably wonder how they manage to con so much of the public every year into buying the game in november. If you have nothing worthwhile to contribute apart from silly jibes at SI then please just don't post in threads. Stop with the trolling thanks.

rich74 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ive thought about the SI/SEGA team playing FM, and i bet they are world beaters i reckon they can make the AI dance to there tune IE make Barcelona play the way they do IRL, put it this way i would not like to play them on a network game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Truth Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think the game could be real good but at the moment it is still ass in my opinion. The transfer system is still flawed big time. I hope 11.3 patch sorts this out so I can finally enjoy a game months after buying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadZone Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm wondering, how can delopers play games? They know everything, the code, core, database tips, tactics, trainings... Developers know how FM really works. Because they only interact with their area of code and will not know other areas of it very well So while as a team they know the entire structure, individually, they'll only know small parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 In my experience all that does is make them the most shocking cheats you could imagine.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
