SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm pleased to announce that the 2.2 update for Football Manager Handheld 2011 (iPhone) is now available for download from the iTunes store. This update is fully save game compatible (ie. any existing save games you have already can be continued after it is installed). A full list of the changes in this update can be found in the credits section of the game. As well as the usual myriad of tweaks to the game engine and suchlike there are a handful of new features as well: * Appealing retirements If you click on a player profile of a player who is retiring in your team you will be able to request he postpone his retirement. * Fake player startup option In the preferences section there is not an option to start the game using a fake database instead of the usual real world players. Using this option clubs retain their standard of talent but all players are randomizes so that its harder to tell which players might be the wonderkids of the future etc. * New formations added At the request of players of the game I've added in two new formations 4-3-2-1 and 4-2-3-1, these will only be available in new games (ie. if you continue an existing save game they won't be present).

kowak Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I noticed that when I look at the game on the app store it doesn't say installed even though I have the game. If I was to click buy now and do what vibe forum is saying will I be charged again for the game. I have a lot of credit on my account and don't want to be charged 6.99 again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Barry Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 It will say you have brought it once you click it, then it will ask you to click ok to download again. When doing so it will update your game hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2011 Author SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2011 Installing the update has deleted all my unlockables I had just unlocked them all. Can this be fixed? I'm afraid this might be a knock on to the preferences having changed format - its not directly 'fixable' HOWEVER you can now transfer files on and off from the game to your computer and vice versa so hopefully someone will make a game configuration file available with them unlocked which people can download in the near future (you should then be able to install it onto your device by dragging and dropping. Incidentally this feature now allows you to transfer your save games to different devices so you can setup challenges for friends or just backup a valuable save for safeties sake.

I have a lot of credit on my account and don't want to be charged 6.99 again Glad you've got this sorted - so you know however the store shouldn't ever charge you for an app you've purchased; if you click 'buy' it'll realise you own it already and ask if you want to download it again.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2011 Author SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2011 Will we get full players database when selecting multiple leagues? No changes have been made to the database for the first update - we are investigating the possibility of expanding the database in a future update, most likely to coincide with the January transfer update.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2011 Author SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2011 great i have the update without any problems.Marc, do you only need too start a new game if you want the new formations or for more stuff? The only feature which requires a new game being started (and then it needs to be a non-quickstart game) is the new formations; all other changes will occur within an existing game.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted January 20, 2011 Author SI Staff Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm not sure what you mean? On the left hand bar highlight your device and it should show a page which displays some device summary information. Above that is a bar with some options on it 'Summary' will be highlighted by default, click on 'Apps' and it'll show you the applications installed on your device. Under that list is a section called 'File Sharing' - this lists applications which support file sharing, FMHi 2011 is one of these now - highlight that and you'll be able to see files the game uses such as save games and the game configuration file.

truss20 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 just had sugar daddy and no transfer windows removed from my unlockables will these be able to be unlocked again from an existing save or will i have to create a new one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillywhite Dean Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Disappointed about the unlockables being removed as I'd never achieved them before I'm assuming we will have to start over in unlocking them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Milmine Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 With any save that is just before an unlock is achieved it will unlock that item again on the new Preferences file. Also, you now have the ability to place files on to your device so, in theory, someone could share their Preferences file with you or you with them.

truss20 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 good news! after I played a couple of games I got the message saying that my club was being taken over by a company (sugar daddy), and that the may get rid of transfer windows in the future (no transfer windows). so if you keep playing a saved game that had already unlocked some features, even though they are erased by the update the game unlocks them again I guess by looking at your managerial history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim v. Kuik Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I play for a couple of hours with the update 2.2, and this is what I've noticed so far: *Tuning to club attendance progression: Work perfect, its more realistic now. *Tweaked board confidence regarding squad morale: The board confidence improve a lot. The board expect that i stay clear of relegation and i'am hitting the 1st place now and before the update the board was just satisfied. And after the update the board is absolutely delighted with the way i leading the team. So i think this is work perfectly.! *Various 2d match improvements: I'am glad this was in the update. The 2d match runs way better now. Great improvement.! *Added fake player game startup option: i don't now i ever use this but i think its a great new feature. *Slight tweak to off the ball injuries: Way better now. *Slight tweak to training injuries: Way better now. I'm very happy with the update, especially because you can move on with your save game. Marc you did a really good job. I'm looking forward to the next update . cheers, Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillywhite Dean Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 A 30+ season managerial career is quite unrealistic. I don't think I've ever come close to spending 30 seasons in one game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
