Morten M. Olsen Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi! Been a while since I posted here, but I have just started playing FM 2012 after not really playing FM for quite a long time. I am far from sure I can get in to it, though. I am from the old school with my favorite probably being CM 00/01. In the FM games there has been put FAAAR too much content and features in for my taste. Seems completely bloated. In some ways it's liberating in these days of dumbing down games, but still it seems a bit much. I mean, come on: - Backroom meetings - Staff meatings - PRESS CONFERENCES (how I LOATHE them, and making my ass man take them just feel wrong) - Team talks - Conversations The above features should simply be dropped and the game would be miles better IMO. Well, it was actually not even the point of my post to rant, but to ask a couple of questions and hope for some help: 1. Anyone else have problems with the UI being quite slow? ESPECIALLY the player tactics screen is insanely annoying; when I move a player the game pauses for like a second at least. 2. Am I the only one who finds the match controls very poor, I mean the general user friendlyness is just...missing. It's SO cumbersome to give out shouts by having to open that sluggish menu on top of the action and then pick from an amazingly long and confusing list while maybe 5 game minutes go by. The system frankly seems broken and should be redesigned. Do anyone know if other skins exist that make this better? As a closing remark, I will still say that the game is very impressing after all and I have huge respect for the developers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system frankly seems broken and should be redesigned. Do anyone know if other skins exist that make this better? You do know you can set groups of these before games, i have 6 different variations of shouts set up, so if i want to use any of them during a game i just select either home1 or home2 or whatever i want from my list of 6? You can also pause the game to make your changes so you dont lose 5 minutes of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Slow UI is my biggest gripe with the last few versions of FM. Putting out ads in job centre takes a few seconds for me. There are more screens that are slow as well, although i can't remember which ones right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the whole control system in the matches is just sluggish and annoying to use. It could make the matches SO MUCH better if it was more intuitive and faster. How about my skin question...is it even possible to "skin" the matches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Äktsjon Männ Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Agreed about the shouts thing. They can design a bloody useless substitutions bar into the tactics screen that no-one has yet found a practical use for but they can't come up with a widget in match view that makes all the shouts constantly visible and accessible with less clicks (i.e one click)?

lee_uk Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 well,i dont have any problems with them at all? i like the match shouts feature and saves you from going into the tactics screen to adjust some things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it only takes me 2 clicks to change my shouts, hardly cumber-sum imo. I doubt its possible to skin matches, but you would need to ask in the editors hideaway.
