robertcornell68 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Possible "stupid question of the day" time but an annoying asterisk* has appeared next to my team name - every time it's mentioned which is a lot. 1) Does it mean something important I should be dealing with? 2) Can I get rid of them?

PLF Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I think I know what you mean. It's an ugly yellow one too right? It's because you've made a 'note' on your team. The same will happen to a player if you make a 'note' on them. Delete that note and the annoying asterisk will be gone too. Had the same problem last week and it was doing my head trying to figure out where the hell that ugly thing came from. Finally figured it out and no more ugliness.

Things Could Get Messi Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 my mate had this and he thought it was a bug. he brought his save round to mine and i found the problem straight away. it is having a note saved about your team. this wasnt in the game last year and i wish SI would get rid of it!

robertcornell68 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yep, saved the response to my coach advert. Many thanks. (That's definitely going into the small but annoying things thread.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDani Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If only there was a way to disable or hide those tiny post-it images. In the past I've used the notes function extensively, without ever needing to be reminded where exactly those notes were saved. To me, they're much more of a distraction than a help.

PLF Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Exactly. I'd love for SI to remove this crappy new annoying feature which wasn't there previously and we all lived just fine taking notes on whatever we wanted. Now as it is, I don't take notes AT ALL in FM12 anymore because I don't wanna see that ugly ****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken kaniff Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Same here, soooooo annoying! What are they thinking?? Hope they get rid of it in a patch soon 'cos I liked saving discipline notes so I knew when to escalate the punishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I love it. I gave myself a "note" so that I could see my name in news reports and such. Plus give a note to certain players. Nothing annoying about it - it works great for highlighting important news! Like a player I really want. Create a note and I instantly see where he is in my news.

postal postie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 i noticed it after making a note on a player. it does look weird. yes it highlights the players that you've made notes about, but it does stick out from the way the rest of the GUI is set out - and not in a good way, in my opinion.

Smurf Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well conversely - I think it's excellent. Wish there was more ways to highlight the players you really want to. So many pointless news items. And the asterisk is great for filtering visually. Can't believe people are giving out about it? As I say so many pointless news items.

Sweed Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I love it.I gave myself a "note" so that I could see my name in news reports and such. Plus give a note to certain players. Nothing annoying about it - it works great for highlighting important news! Like a player I really want. Create a note and I instantly see where he is in my news. Got to say I like it too. It does look a bit out of place but the functionality outweighs the very slight "eyesore", for lack of a better term. I'd be all for SI adding the ability to disable for those that want to but I hope they don't take it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken kaniff Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I've still got it on my club name but have no notes saved on the club? I've also removed all notes from players that had the yellow mark too, does anyone know how to get rid of it from my club? If some of you like it, fair enough, but the game needs an option to disable it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken kaniff Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just found what it was, I had notes saved on players I'd been talking about in the press that weren't at my club. *sigh of relief* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I only use notes to keep track of who my youngsters have been tutored by, so I have no intention of ever removing that information. There is no reason to have visual feedback on the existence of a note on a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i personally see no reason why they can't adhere to the current way the rest of the GUI works. ie: either having player names a different colour to denote there is a note (like when they are on loan or on your shortlist) or have the little tab next to their name that says soemthing like 'nte' like they have already (inj for injury or lst for listed, or whatever). having a star next to the name is completely out of line and actually made me think the player was so good he deserved a star next to his name Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micksan80 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 How do you get rid of that annoying asterisk that is next to every team record which denotes "this record is only valid from 5.7.2011"???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias333 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It hadnt bothered me but I noticed this annoying * next to my actually name in the game. Everytime my names mentioned its there. Guessing there is a note about me somewhere then. lol! odd as I never use the note feature but will double check. Had been wonder what caused it to appear.

Mittens2317 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I like it too, it's very useful. Helps remind you of things you may have forgotten. For example, I sent a centre back out on loan, as he's gonna be a good player (not the best), but I got offered a mil plus 100% wage fees. When he agreed, my captain said he's glad to see the back of him, as he disrupts the dressing room. I probably would never have noticed this, so I saved it as a note, and when he returns, the note will remind me to sell the fooker (who, ironically, is called Focher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam NBH Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It would be nice if the notes section worked at all, mine refuses to have any sort of reminder set, just blanks it out when you are trying to set it up, very annoying. I used to use the notebook fuction but now dont use it at all for this very reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I use it for my youth intake so after many seasons I still know who was the best of the intake. For example "Best of 2014/15 intake", then after a few seasons regardless of how much their star potential has changed, I will know they were the best of the intake.
