My requests

Turkish league

Choosing datbase size

2D match engine

squad numbers option

editable formations

whos with me? put your hands up!!!

December 18, 2006

I'm with you!

And i would like a more detailed financial report and maybe, if it's possible, the abillity to handle club finances. It would be nice if you could make a lott of money by having a very positive wage balance.

And also the abillity to upgrade the stadium to create more earnings....

MJGB_Midget · December 18, 2006

My Requests

1) Like Fenerbache Fan said, Turkish league(s). More playable leagues, wider audience

2) Again like Fenerbache Fan, Squad Numbers, just another little feature that would be good.

3)Ability to hire and sack assistant managers, coaching staff and scouts.

4) Stadiums. Ability to have details on your stadium and in the furute, be able to buy and sell new stadiums etc.

5) Reserve / Second squads for youth players.

6) Jump from league to league, even if it makes loading a few seconds slower.

7) Country and Contintent rankings, like the world rankings but for clubs such as Manchester United and Exeter.

8) More tactic options such as the ability to create your own.

9) More training options.

10) International Management - get to choose from all possible players. I am France and i got Saha up front at the age of 37!

11) More playable leagues from continents like S. America and Asia.

12) Ability to loan a player for a season while he has been transfered to the club at end of season (like Kuschazk and manchester United)

13) Ability to edit our own posts

14) More responsibility in the financial aspect, eg. Loan debts and Takeovers.

15) More media And more answers than the current : Criticise, Defend and no Comment.

16) See financial aspects such as how much you make from games from ticket sales.

17) See staff such as chairmans names etc.

18) Feeder clubs like Antwerp for manchester United.

19) 1 Player being away maybe once or twice a year because of a family emercengy as not all footballers lives are mayhem free!

20) (Not game but FM07 website.) Please carry on doing that who will win the premeihip thing where you do a season on the PC version. That was interesting

21) Erm...running out of ideas now. Players being able to be fined fpr getting red cards. DISCIPLINE! Thats the word.

22) Erm...Dunno. Think thats enough now

Can anyone add to this...

Ps : Did not add 2d screen (for matches) as it may slow the game down rapidly and get rid of the pick up and play ability.

alwinder · December 18, 2006

Agree with all the points guys.

Would love to see a 2D match engine, editable formations, telling off players for poor play, half time talks and some form of crowd noise.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

I TOTALLY agree with what u've mentioned. i know though is still early for fmh08 but after trying the game for almost close to a month already, i believe we had tested the game long enough to give logical feedbacks....

though the above request may seemed alot, the part where parent/feeder club, a staff database, and more control to finance at club level, playable leagues in Asia and reserve squad for each club would be good points to consider...

=) thanks

MJGB_Midget · December 18, 2006

OMG, forgot team talks and sound on my list...Must re-write it all!

kyosuke69 · December 18, 2006

i believe sensitive issues like money(financial aspects) if given more control to us, would make the game more exciting as we not focus how many matches we win, but how good are we at transforming a poor financial struggling club into a respectable club with good youngsters that are fairly price tagged for sale or whatever.

as a HUGE and i mean really HUUUGGGGEEEE fan of CM-01/02, i really enjoyed my time looking through the staff database...

imagine if the next fmh08 would add a staff database, retiring players would not just retire and disappear from the game, but we could retain our favourite ones and keep them as coach or something....

please, not only gameplay....

pls kindly consider about the realism of the game and us, the consumer's satisfaction of fmh!!!

Ackter · December 18, 2006

I think a 2D match would be a step backward. It would take up a lot of room on the disc and slow down the gaming experience. The whole point in the PSP version is to be quick and fun.

kyosuke69 · December 18, 2006

yeah 2d-match should not be added...

please let fmh stay as fmh.... more added features for the comfort and satisfaction for us but not the retardie looking 2d-match engine.... personally i feel that its pointless anyway...

=) cheers

drhenry · December 18, 2006

I'd like to be able to exchange players, Like Arsenal and Chelsea swapped Gallas (and 5 million) for Cole.

I'd like youth academies as well, and a reserve team function.

Gfor890 · December 18, 2006

i would like to see:

better match commentary,

more player info,

more media stuff,

a match report were it descirbes goals,

and other that i cant think of now

good idea doc

chuz · December 18, 2006

i think a decision needs to be made:

-ability to see full commentary post-match, and/or

-2d match engine

Also FIFA world club cup anyone?

Stewy · December 18, 2006

I am not going to say I agree with everything above but I am going to re-write some of it and my own ideas to say what I exactly want in Football Manager Handheld 2008.

I hope Marc can reply to this PLEASE

Must Haves

(1) Create your own Friendlies

(2) Include at least 4 More Playable Leagues, I say include Argentina, Brazil, South Africa (South Africa to give us variety in continents), and USA

(3) Add the Conference North/South to England

(4) Add the FIFA World Club Cup

(5) Match Commentary Sounds - We need a feel for the game

(6) 2D Match Engine - But have a Pop-up Menu before the game to choose whether to Watch Match Commentary, Watch the Game in the 2D Match Engine, or to Quick Simulate the Match (Quick Sim so you can get the result straight away). Keep the Speed Changer as is as you can still play a quick season with just the Match Commentary if you wish.

(7) Match Reports so you can read all the Match Commentary

(8) Choose Squad Numbers

(9) Have Stadium Info, Also be able to leave current stadium and if funds available build and move to a new stadium

(10) Have Reserve & Youth Squads

(11) The Ability to Create your own Tactics and to Adjust Player Runs and move Positions around e.g. Move a RB to RWB if playing a 4-4-2 Formation to move Players out wider and so-on

(12) More in-depth Training Options and the Ability to see a Players Progress in Training

(13) A better Financial Menu, I say we should have a Screen for Finances showing Income, Expenses and our Finances and Transfer Budget like in the PC Version

(14) More Media Comments (Questions & Answers) I don't want to see Stuart Pearce saying everything, I'd like to see the other Managers in the World saying more about other Teams

(15) Team Comments - Tell your Opponents what's going to happen in the next match when you play them e.g. If there going to lose or if you think there players are not strong enough to beat you or even if you reckon they will beat you

(16) Manager to Player Comments - Tell a player what you think of him or talk to him about something if there is something wrong

(17) Staff Information like Chairmanâ€™s, Assistant Managers, Coaches and so-on with Real Names and Stats

(18) Player Personal Life Problems (Players out of Football for these Reasons), Player Holidays, - Let Players Go Away for these Reasons

(19) Player Fines - Fine Players for Stupid Behaviour or just Playing REAL BAD

(20) The Ability to Compare Players to other Players around the World

(21) More Options for Buying Players e.g. Trial, First Option (If the club ever wish to sell the player in a set time-frame they will have to contact you in the first instance and give you the first option to buy. For this to work you will need them to accept an initial smaller fee, followed by a final transfer price if the player does move), and Exchanging Players

(22) The Ability to see a teams reputation broken down into 6 categories - Obscure, Local, Regional, National, Continental, Worldwide

(23) Add to Board Requests - Expand Stadium, Improve Training Facilities, Build New Stadium

(24) Ultimatums - If the board turn down a request you can issue an Ultimatum, this means you will resign as manager if the request is not accepted

(25) Latest Scores - The ability to see updates on scores while you game is being played

(26) Team Talks - Have Half Time and Full Time Team Talks so you can tell the players what you think of them during the match. At half time if you know what your saying when your teams down maybe you can snatch a win in the second half

(27) The Ability to Add Player Pictures

(28) The Ability to Add Club Kits

(29) The Ability to Add your own Created Skins

(30) Exit to Main Menu- Instead of Quitting the Game after you Retire you can go to the Main Menu

(31) New Unlockable - Unlock Harchester United

(32) Sugar Daddy needs to be Harder to Unlock

(33) The Ability to EDIT LOADS and LOADS and LOADS more of the game

(34) Better Editing Interface

(35) There is no need for country and continent rankings as there is no official rankings list in the real world

(36) THIS IS A MAYBE - Jump from league to league

Marc Vaughan · December 19, 2006

(with regards to requests to comment upon features for the next version - I'm afraid I can't do that simply because we only announce feature lists fairly close to a products release - I can however indicate that I'm monitoring the thread and we'll be taking all feedback into consideration)

Stewy · December 19, 2006

Marc -

How's the list i put together, I WOULD LIKE YOUR OPINION. (Stewy)

barney57 · December 19, 2006

And also if its possible make the wireless function better eg make it available to play online (if possible) like the pc version where you can complete a full season with your friends.

Stewy · December 19, 2006

Users I would like your opinion's on what I have said in the 36 odd things I have said above

as well (Stewy)

chuz · December 19, 2006

1. Simple, obvious

2. No doubt SI will continue to include more leagues for fmh

3.

4. A must have in my opinion

5. mmm...undecided. I think any game should have more sound included than 'click', but i think id rather SI focused on better things to improve

6&7. A lot of discussion about this. Id be content with full match commentary post-match, though the ability to view goals would still be good

8. Again, id rather SI focused on more important matters. Especially without the 2d match engine there would be little, if any, point in this

9-16.

17. Staff database + all the employment stuff that comes with it

18-24.

25. Plus live league table

26. I wasnt too impressed by this in pc version. Personally id hate to see it tarnish the PSP version too

27-30.

31. meh. A brilliant unlockable target would be to win every competition in the game. Im not sure what this would unlock but hopefully it would keep us playing for even longer. +ability to see trophies won in main menu

32. True that

33&34. Personally no real interest in editing...

35. What u said

36. Nah...if u mean playable league to playable league then nah... so many issues its not even funny

kyosuke69 · December 19, 2006

wow stewy i really admire ur efforts to write those feedbacks...

and i really hope marc would follow all feedback threads closely as it will GREATLY AFFECT our faith in fmh...

hope the next version would be more interesting and would not disappoint us.

cheerz !

Gfor890 · December 19, 2006

i wouldnt want a 2d match engine anyway as id rather it was realistic but simple than have space taken up with a 2d pitch that may mess up.

i think a description of the goals would be great and better comentary

pumadalglishgold · December 19, 2006

To be honest Iâ€™d prefer the PSP game to keep its distance from the PC version and maintain its position as a much quicker more immediate on the go alternative. The 2D engine has taken ages to get right on PC and requires a lot of processing power and itâ€™s actually been quite nice to return to the days when half the fun of each game is adding to the text commentary with your imagination. So Iâ€™d definitely prefer they stick to the text format and concentrate their efforts in other ways. Especially as there seems to be so few people working on the game so the list of things to be changed probably wonâ€™t be that long.

Being able to choose your own tactics and move players about on the tactics screen is a definite must.

A more vibrant transfer market with more movement by other teams and a greater willingness of other teams to make offers for your players so that youâ€™re not stuck with a load of rubbish players for years.

Allow us to manually lower the value of players so that you can make them more attractive to other teams and sell them much easier.

Make the fog of war much more intrusive so that scouting becomes essential and gives you something other than matches to concentrate on during the out of transfer window periods. The player search is far too helpful and gives us too much info on players too quickly. A general impression of their overall skill would be fine. Then you have to scout them to discover the individual stats.

Have the text commentary in the middle of the screen so that we donâ€™t have to squint so much

Much more feedback on the opposition from your scout so that you can plan accordingly (e.g. do they play with a high back line or like to drop deep? This way you can choose to play a pacey front man or a big target man.) Numerous choices like this would make preparing for each game much more interesting and give it more variety than simply picking the fittest players for the same formation game after game.

More feedback from your staff on what youâ€™re doing right and wrong. Sometimes itâ€™s impossible to know why youâ€™re in a slump. Your assistant would surely be able to see what areas arenâ€™t working. Maybe much more informative match commentary would also help this.

With regards training itâ€™s never been a very important feature because you can only improve a player in very small ways otherwise you would have a situation you got in old management games where you could crank players up to 20 in every stat. So itâ€™s never been a really influential feature. It would be better to concentrate on team training where you could get your players familiar with formations and tactics but to be honest I would keep training as one of the lesser changes.

Financial considerations is a tough one because no one wants to go so far as to setting the price for hotdogs! But it might be nice to get the opportunity to allocate some funds to stadium improvements which would then boost the support and bring more money in. Then again would anyone choose stadium improvements over being able to sign some new players when youâ€™ve only got a small amount to spend?

Just some more ideas. Great thread. And itâ€™s nice to see so many helpful members commenting positively amongst each other.
