thebugel Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Question: in this years version would i be able to start my career at prestatyn town in Wales BUT have all english leagues loaded? In previous versions you can't do this for example, if you started in Austrailia you could only select Englands top division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted December 7, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted December 7, 2011 Question: in this years version would i be able to start my career at prestatyn town in Wales BUT have all english leagues loaded? In previous versions you can't do this for example, if you started in Austrailia you could only select Englands top division. Yes you can - its now possible to start a game within one of your 'secondary' nations (ie. one without all leagues active) and as Wales is on the same continent as England you're able to have all English leagues and also the Welsh league active at the same time.

PRJKT Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 :applause:Challenge mode sounds fantastic. For years I used to try and do this (start half way through and see what I could win), now a real mode for it Can't wait to get my hands on it.

sampglov1987 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Is their any chance of iCloud integration? It will be so much better to be able to play on my iPhone at work and then on the iPad at home :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Milmine Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can the save games be synced between ipad and iphone? if yes I'm going to be seriously addicted... Yes you can use iTunes File Sharing to transfer them to your computer then put them on to the other device. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret_Chris Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Did the advanced player interaction get in there? For example, I criticise a player in 2011 as he is sent off for headbutting a ref, but the rest of the team go ape **** for not supporting my player, thus bringing morale down as previously he was in form 9-9-10 etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truegooner Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yes you can use iTunes File Sharing to transfer them to your computer then put them on to the other device. I think PRJKT (apologies if I'm mistaken) means via the cloud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted December 7, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think PRJKT (apologies if I'm mistaken) means via the cloud. Cloud sharing is something which is being looked at - the reason it didn't make it into release is (1) I've only one head and two arms (ie. lack of time), but also (2) I'm rather nervous about the amount of data it'd be transmitting - the FMHi save games are NOT tiny, they're 3mb in size so if you used Cloud sharing a lot for saving games then it could easily eat into someones allowed data package (use it 10 times a week and thats 120Mb of data you've sent in a month), I don't know the prevalent speeds or package sizes for people generally so rather than risk it either locking up your app for ages (ie. low speed connections) or costing people a fortune (if they have low data packages) I left it out for now. If we find these aren't concerns then its something we'll look into in the future, but I tend to err on the side of "better safe than sorry" with such things - so didn't want to rush into it just to get another feature on a list and potentially mess up someones phone bill.

PRJKT Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I must say I am surprised the save games can even be transferred between devices at all. Excellent addition! Why is Lecksa even here? iRelease and someone just comes to complain. Lots of us love FM for iOS. FM2011 for iPad is the FM I have spent the most time on and I've been playing since it was CM all those years ago. Playing on iPad is great and quite fast paced, perfect for me.

Funmz Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Will there be a demo for the game? I'm unsure I will want to for out what I'm assuming will be around 6.99 for the game. The last game I did not enjoy on an iOS device, although I have recently bought an iPad and do feel it may be more of an experience on the device. Which takes me back to my original question, will there be a demo? If it enjoyable I will happily pay the money if not I'm doubt I'll be owning the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how easy it would be to code, but it is possible to have iCloud syncing as an option, rather than a default. You could also maybe have it as a feature which is only compatable when on a wifi connection. Just a suggestion, I really want it, lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it optional: 1) Optional (On/Off) 2) If on, Wi-Fi only option Ideally, the file would support partial changes and submit only "patch-like" updates… but that's dreaming too big!
