Less PPMS in 09?

[Shizzle]

I have been playing for a while know and noticed that some PPMs like: Tries Tricks,Dictates temp etc. seem to be missing?
Also you cannot let your players train them.
So what's up with that, did Si cut the number of PPMs down or are some of them hidden now?

There does seem to be less of them yes, not sure they're hidden more likely that they just aren't included

I know that 'tries tricks' is exempt because they hadn't had time to fix it into the 3d engine for 09 so essentially it did nothing. I imagine the other missing ones are for similar reasons...

Ah I see makes sense, Thanks for that .

That's right. In FM08 they were cosmetic and not implemented. SI were left with 3 options for FM09:

leave them cosmetic and useless - not satisfactory,
enable them - too difficult to do in time with the 3D engine, or
take them out - more sensible.

Hopefully they are being worked on for FM10.
