Most pointless feature on FM08?

For me its got to be team talk feedback. What does it do? Does it tell us anything? Hell no. For example. I was just playing a match. Leading 2-0 at half time... So i said don't get complacent. We then went on to lose 3-2. So i think to myself, well i guess my team talk wasn't very good. I go to team talk feedback and hey-ho from my team talk it tells me that nothing specific was noted! WOW, real good help there!

Whats the worst feature in your opinion?

I think that feature has been good personally in some cases, because some times you can be behind, get your half time team talk, and then you win and your praised by your players for your half time team talk / tactics etc.

I think pointless feature is the career earnings, because it's just had people wanting to go to much into that specific part of the game, which has gotten silly imo.

Team talks, and T-T feedback.

So I agree with you.

"Didn't seem to be listening" makes me want to punch my players in the face.

Most pointless feature would have to be board confidence because its doesn't work and never has and they were unable to fix it in the two patches they released. Hopefully this has been fixed for fm2009.

the calender. i dont get why its there? not once have i used it. if i want to know what fixtures i have ill go to my fixture list. and everything else comes up in the news. its really not needed

Completely agree, i personally have no use at all for the calendar. In fact it annoys me when i sometimes look at the schedule of a competition and the default view is the calendar - it is so much more inefficient than the list view.

A good shout there, seemed a roundabout way of getting infomation that was already available alot quicker.

Couldn't agree more.

the transfer fees. way too high IMO. cant wait until the new transfer system on 09

The Job Vacancy section, the one that tells you which teams need coaches and assistant managers etc. Why would i care! I can't apply to be ass man anywhere etc.

Spot on that man!

Too many 30mill plus transfers! Players like Guiseppe Rossi and Adrian mutu go for 40 plus.

it is pretty pointless really, although i have used it a few times, to find out when cup draws are and things

Calendar, Job Vacancies, complaining about a decision.

I've lots more, but they're more personal things as opposed to wholly useless to everyone.

Throw-ins.

Transfer fee's arent features

And they aren't pointless even if they don't work well in the game.

Throw-ins.

And corners to an extent, that bloody corner cheat.

Media interaction, completely pointless and stupid (not as an idea, just the implementation)

I use the calendar. Please don't get rid of it.

Theres a calendar?

Come on , you can not have a manager game without a calendar even if you don't use it .

I guess that if there was a good training module in the game the calendar would be very very important .

worst fewature is your career earnings!!!

i agree..the job vacancy is pointless...this feature is completely useless..

Ye i guess the job vacancy is pointless but i wouldnt want it to be scraped, butwhen teh press ask you to comment on fouls in a game such as peno appeals, how can you tell on a 2d match engine??? so... role on the new 3d match engine!!

The question whether a foul was a penalty or not would be the most pointless as it can't be judged with the 2d match engine. I think I'll love the press conference interview feature, but I hope for some variation as the current media questions go on and on. Every match the same answers. Everytime I face an old player the same question. It happens too much and is too shallow. I do like the offside questions as I can check that a bit and that can be fun, but I can't judge a foul in a 2d engine. The engine wasn't (isn't?) ready the answer the question and therefore is very useless.

Of course I do understand that the media ask such things, but in real life managers can judge that a bit. Not yet in this game. Maybe in 3d?

I find the calendar quite handy when deciding to give reserve games to my 1st teamers.

One look at the calender and you can directly see all the oncoming fixtures for all your teams (1st team, reservers & youths)

So don´t you dare take it off!

oh, forgot to add;

I haven´t even looked at the career earnings thingy, so that would be a good place to put my vote in!

Why aren´t we able to edit our posts?

Questioning a referee's decision.

There's a 1% chance you'll get satisfaction by criticising the referee and a 99% chance of you getting fined or banned. It's essentially a no-win situation and the best solution is to simply ignore the comments.

Probably the most pointless of things.

Agree about the referee.

It wouldn't be so bad if sometimes something would happen. Like they turn a decision of a red card around. But the most positive outcome is that they stay silent.

For me, it's the default media questions that require you to click and enter the same bloomin's answer 50 times a season!
