LFC Lloydy Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 A quick question,are you able to manage any nation like the pc version or will it only be a select few countries. Will it be limited to the nations with playable leagues.Also,will scouts workin the same way to the new pc scouting module? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig[EVE] Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The new PSP game needs to make the player feel involved more. I got bored very quickly of the first PSP game, because once you'd spent your transfer money all you did till the end of the season was swap your suspended/injured players in the team until the season had finished. If it can make you feel more involved, i'd be more likely to want to pick it up for a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it also 'knows' your managing a nation and increases the number of regens for that nation slightly to give you more choice) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger Crayola Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I don't see any mention of improved detail in the tactics (particularly setting our own formations and runs). That's disappointing. International management, however, is very nice indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno-Blood Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 As Younger Crayola said, has the tactics been improved so we can create our own? And also, on the multiplayer front, can we have a game like a network PC game? So it is saved on one persons PSP and loaded and people join back to their team? The term 'friendly game' makes it sound to me like a it's a one off match between 2 players squads... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a little more tactical flexibility wouldn't alter this dynamic - the game is still fast, it still focusses on your first team and one league only, it's still streamlined to keep you in the action. Tweaking tactics is gameplay. Gameplay is a good thing. I found FM Handheld got tired real quickly once I started winning, because by that point I was just clicking continue and watching a result pan out. Part of this problem seemed to be a balancing issue with transfers (after all, I won the FA Cup as a League One side without any difficulty, and most of my players would have walked into any Premiership side at this point - and nope, I had no Brazilian wonderkids), which I assume has been tweaked, but my enthusiasm waned because at the end of the day there wasn't much to it. I picked a squad, I won games. Starting a new game would have resulted in the same scenario. Would a little more tactical depth change this? Perhaps not - the problems do lie elsewhere. But it does give you something more to get your teeth into on a daily basis, and something to experiment with when you have the game mastered. This time out, at least, there's international football which can't be bested by throwing money at it, but won't that just be even more frustrating when you haven't the tactical depth you need to get the best out of a poor batch of players?
