gary.hounsome Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi is it too late for FM2009 Suggestions? I've just started pre-season in my current game searching for youngsters and needed scout reports of quite a few so had to individually get each player scouted. It would be good if you could tick a box next the player name and then use an option to scout all selected players? Would this be hard to implement and anyone else think its a good idea? Or even has an option been used like this for the new game? Gary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiatmh Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 i think you can click on one player on a list and then press shift and then right click, scout it scouts all players within that range works unless you don't want a player (if so, press control and then his name) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers08 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 IMO it is too late for changes like the ones you have suggested . Decent idea though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstar Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't think it's too late to implement minor error changes but yes for major changes. Likely that once again FM09 will fail on a couple of issues leaving many frustrated and waiting for FM10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 It says in the blogs they are at the stage called "code lock" where no new features can be added Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yes, far too late for it to be included in FM09 unless its already there. Depending on how difficult it is to program it might be something that could be included in a patch otherwise it would have to be the next version. Either way its upto SI to decide if its a worthwhile additional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted October 18, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted October 18, 2008 It's about 3 months too late. But seeing as you've been able to do what you suggest since FM2005, it's not a problem anyway If you click on the little arrow thingy to the far left of a players name, and hold down shift whilst selecting another player, as you would do with any email software, it will multi-select players and you can select to scout them all. However, make sure you are able to scout them in case your board are restricting regions which you can look at, otherwise you'll have to find the player you can't scout and remove him from the list.

solstar Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 "the little arrow thingy" ... very technical Miles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Didn't Miles say in his blog yesterday that nothing new will be added to FMAt this stage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary.hounsome Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 cheers miles all these years and ive never known that. Is there a list of any other things we can do with the shift button we might not know about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 If you click on the little arrow thingy to the far left of a players name, and hold down shift whilst selecting another player, as you would do with any email software, it will multi-select players and you can select to scout them all. That seems like an awkward way to do it. Most other software where I use a similar feature allow you to use the up/down arrow keys or the page up/page down keys as an alternative whilst holding shift. Any chance this could be included in a future release/patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamweesel Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Have a check-box for scouting players? Are we really that lazy,no.Well,it's not a bad idea,but it's a bit extreme for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Shift? I hold control. But then that's because I don't always want the inbetween guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the way miles has mention has made it quicker although ive not been able to remove players i may have already scouted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Slightly a little late, yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You hold down ctrl to highlight individual players and the shift button to highlight all players between the first player you click and the second. You can also use ctrl to deselect some of the players if you don't want to scout them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal_Fan_1986 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I am very familiar with computers and use CTRL and click when putting songs on my mp3 player... I've played FM for years and never even thought of using CTRL click in the game... This will make my life so much easier! lol what an idiot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
