i want usb interaction.

i want a team of the week after every week

i want to be able to switch countries

i want to be able to manage international teams

i want to be able to set a player's asking price

thats the spirit snady

i want to be able to offer players to individual clubs

I want to manage international team as well as club.

*sandy

being able to ask the board for stuff i.e. stadium expansion or more funds for wages or players

apart from spanish teams, being able to have a reserve team would be good as well, hopefully the features being mentioned within the forum can be put onto the new game

yup i hopes so but i hope more people reply to this thread we need to make these sort of suggestions stand out for SI

I think we have to respect the PSP's limitations a little more, and try to work out which 'i wants' are most important and actually feasible.

Player pics clearly ain't gonna happen, for instance, or if they are then they are going to take up far more UMD space than they merit as an 'improvement' to the game.

For me, stuff like stadium interaction is ********, not something football managers do.

Appointing staff, if their opinions are as useful as on the FM2005 I used to play, would be a waste of space.

Reserves and youth teams would complicate the game more than necessary. Given that the PSP has to work with a smaller database already, adding a load of fringe-at-best players would seem counter-productive. At best, I would suggest that you could choose the level of finance and commitment to a youth scheme, with a corresponding effect on how many/how good players come through.

Managing international teams? Forget it, be realistic.

Team of the week? Seems completely cosmetic and barely relevant, to me.

To me, its the fundamentals that should be improved: player interaction, board interaction, a more detailed idea of your club's finances, wider tactical options. I imagine these things can all be improved without needing to create a six-inch UMD, and without compromising the vision of a portable FM that is faster to play.

Completely agree with you Lowlife.

Some of the comments made by those above you are complete cack.

The main thing for me that's missing is the ability to set your set piece (etc) takers, so that you don't have to do so again and again and again. I find this infuriating.

Otherwise great, and everything else I barely miss.

Oh it would be nice to set the preices of pies though.

ok lowlife and storminbalders lets just say nothing and leave fm as it is so SI dont have a f***ing clue what we want except crappy player interaction. "well done player u have been on good form" wow that really improves the game. As for the staff being a waste of time! c'mon have you played fm06 the staff play a importnat role. The better your staff the better your training. So c'mon there has to be some stuff u want even if u think it cant be done you might be suprised by SI!

i just want to link my pc game with the handheld version, so i can play on my pc at home, then download it to my psp to play while im traveling. at the mo, ive got 2 different games going on and it can get quite confusing

Hey avanti, I hardly kept quiet and gave SI no idea what I thought needed improving. (Tactics, player interaction, FINANCES). I just think that the very heart of the game, the heart of managing a football team, is what should be improved before anything else.

"the heart of managing a football team"

its a f***ing game!

Yes, it's a ****ing game about - gasp! - managing a football team.

I want the ability to play against other people with FMH

you have the ability to notice things! wow your not a complete idiot afterall

avanti, you are behaving and posting like a 5-year-old child, throwing your toys out of the pram, insulting me and sprinkling sarcastic smilies everywhere.

All because I have a slightly different view of what the priorities should be for improvements to FMH.

Grow up.

er....no

that is precisely my point !your views! i made this thread so people could post what THEY think could improve fm and you come on here and critisize other peoples ideas!

Your words "waste of space" exactly what you are

Three replies, you're getting way too hot under the collar about this.

You asked what we think should be improved by SI in the game. I commented on what I think is worthwhile, not worthwhile, realistic or not realistic to expect. Now, I don't think stadium stuff is important in a cut-down version of FM, since Jose Mourinho doesn'tsit down and redesign Stamford Bridge. I think that the CORE of the gameplay needs improving before worrying about the trimmings.

If my saying 'bullocks', or commenting on what I thought was an unrealistic list of demands offends you so deeply, then I apologise.

More financial info would be a good idea, and having the matches you play impact on that, i.e. I beat Rangers away as East Stirling in the Scottish Cup whilst in Division 3 but got no more money, even though we should have got about 500k in shared gate reciepts!

Also the ability to turn a team from semi-professional to professional. I can't see many semi-pro teams winning the SPL or getting to the Champions League semi's!

So will you be including the ability to set the prices of pies in the new version?

I think this would be a very good addition.

yeah i like pies

i also feel the scouts could play a more important role by doing reports on players who you think look good but dont know whether they have what it takes to make the bigtime

Well said.

given the space / memory restrictions, I suggest they dump training entirely. I would be willing to give up enhanced finances to get better player / staff / media interaction.

one more thing. It worries me when I can't see my battery life, without having to exit the game.

Can we add the batter life indicator somewhere?

even if its just a 'news' item?

eg: News - battery life estimated at 10 minutes.

You dont have to exit the game just click home look in the corener, then press circle..suprise!!!.. your back.

A tiny thing, but I would love it if the game could tell you how long you've spent playing it, just like the PC version and its addiction-level rating.

Yep that would be a nifty addition

If I'm honest it really doesn't sound like this game has much, I have just ordered it so I will have to see myself.

thanks Marc!

I alos agree with Lowlife's comment's.

However personally i would have to say i want to see a better tactics screen, FAR better. I want more control over it. Scouting, appointing staff [coaches/scouts/assistant managers] that kind of thing.

I would also like to see a vast improvement on the max player's which currently seems ot be 36. I'm the kind of player who like sot scour the world for young talent and add it to my squad in the believe that i can train that player up to become a world class star [hey let me dream ].

I would also lik eto see more freedom to click information within a players info, for example when reading Landreau' " profile " i'd like to be able to move right and highlight his fave team " Nantes " and go to that team.

Player interaction is something else i would like to see.

I hope Marc et all don't take this the wrong way becauce it's just like constructive critiscm but you have made a very good game but it has lot's of holes in it in comparision to it's bigger [PC] brother. Obviously not all the features in the pc version can be ported but i'd like, no, LOVE to see as many of them as possible transferred over to the psp.

Maybe this isnt quite related but i seem to get LOTS of injuries weekly and i am just using the traiing as it came without making ANY ammendments to it. I'd like to see a reduction in injuries as it's really spoiling the game for me.

I understand the gameis supposed to be portable and " Pick up & Play " but i think most FM gamers would like to see as much as possible included in the little brother of our most loved game.

I'd also like to see a change to the way transfers are handled. I'd like to be able to offer / receive player exchanges. As well as offer a fee upfront and a buy out clause for on loan players and for my players who are loaned out.

definately international management and youth/reserve teams
