FM09: Which new or improved feature are you looking forward to the most in FM09?

Poll: Which new feature(s) introduced in the just-released Youtube videos for FM09 are you most looking forward to?

Did I forget anything? I'm too excited to remember the video. Going to watch part 2 again! By the way, you can choose multiple items in the Poll.

Other:

PPM training

Widgets

Trial Days

I failed to mention the PPM training module (that is Player Preferred Moves), and the 'widget' feature of the TV type display. Also 'trial days' says Dave C. I missed that in the video myself. Thanks for the re-mention in the thread all of you

Transfer system, will hopefully be a lot better from the sounds of it

Has to be Press Conferences. Will improve the game alot and If you ask me, I really like the Rumours section.

It's clearly going to be the press conTHREE-DEE!

Sorry. I eat my words. SI HAVE made 3D. And it does look like it'll work out well.

Wow.

That said, i did say they wouldnt do it til they could do it properly...

Transfer system for me too, I was very pleased to hear it was gonna be totally reworked this time.

edit: ack! Now I see people mentioning press conferences, I had forgot these in all the excitement.. then it's a tie between these two!

Transfer system and press conferences. If the transfers are as good as Miles hopes they are, then we will have a winner there.

Was pretty vague on the transfer aspect of the game although I like the fact he said they started from scratch, just hope it functions sufficiently if not hopefully, fantastically. Look for ward to it!

Well done SI, never disappoint, well you can't please everyone.

More media interaction for me but all of the features are great !

Gotta say Miles you are a ledge ! 3d engine, more media interaction, new transfer system... everything I've been craving last few years. Can't wait to get my hands on this now. Thanks for listening to the fans !

The assistant manager feedback looks really good

Should help me alot:)

lol did u hear him say about the fans moaning on the forums well something like that but shows they do listen to us fairplay to them.

I'm most excited by the 3D, but most hopeful about the AssMan feedback. A long neglected part of the game I feel. KUTGW SI!

Excited about the new transfer system and 3d element

i'm gong to say the 3d match engine. And the transfer overhaul. Maybe the press conference as well.

Actually, I'm very happy with the amount of new features in this release. Just seems pretty much perfect at the moment

Press conferences, transfers improvement and 3D for me

Improved confidence system definitely, I couldn't bare the old, buggy system on FM2008.

Transfer system, as well sounds very cool.

Has to be 3d. although I also like the rumours.

What exactly was said about the new newgens system?

3d match engine it is for me closely followed by the transfer module and then the media interaction/press conferences.

I'd really like to see a HQ video of the 3d match engine in action because I could barely make out anything on youtube. I have been dying for this feature for ages so I am really pleased that they have decided to unleash it. Hopefully it will play pretty much the same way as the 2d match engine because other games like FIFA Manager had a horrible 3d engine where it seemed pretty much like kick and run football.

edit: The rumors are also an interesting feature, cant wait to hijack some transfer moves.

Got to be 3D for me. Looks great and I'm glad to see it in.

I'm also happy to hear that they have had it in development for three years.

Ass Man feedback, an improved transfer system and improved media relations for me as I feel these are some of the games biggest failings at the moment.

Where in the video did they talk about Regens???????? Please I MUST KNOW!

they saided they have ironed out the bugs mate the regens problem was a bug so it will be removed

3D

Tactics

media interaction/press conferences

transfer module

confidence system

there is so much so I won't vote

but the 3d looks good if you strain your eyes to see it I hope they have skills ect

anyone know of the match engine of Sega japan got any info

looks a big step forward this year can't wait

I have to admit, i voted for them all.

Only because i'm so damn excited though!

they saided they have ironed out the bugs mate the regens problem was a bug so it will be removed

Where did they say this in the video??? What minute I must hear it.... Please I'm desperate.

Miles said they have looked into all the reported bugs and tried to fix them all

Trial Days is a good addition for LL managers

I put that and the tactics thing in the poll on rumors that I've heard on the forums. So, in fairness these could just be rumors, and certainly didn't seem to be directly mentioned in the video. But I have pretty good hopes that the newgens will be better, and 50/50 hopes that the tactical system will be better 95% confidence that it will certainly be different, what with the FML work, and etc..

Friggin sweet that Miles has looked into it. Why did you have to make me wait. Nov 14th..... Well Fifa will have to hold me over as well as Fable 2. Can't wait to be Spurs and whip ass. Taking us to the top and getting a world class youth academies.

by "regens bug" are we talking about the last few versions ending in some Armageddon scenario where the general talent levels around the world/player mentalities go down the bin? Because I definitely thought that was a longevity problem to the game but didn't see it mentioned often, so maybe thought I was just looking for problems.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the special moves/characteristic training feature. To be able to train up your own specialist free kick taker is definitely something that would make the game that much better.

Its revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Widgets! They look great!

The new match engine + the ability to train PPM's

Oh, I think I'm going to have to go with the new transfer/finance system. More realistic transfers would definitely make the game more fun.

If the regen system has been improved I'm going to be chuffed.

The 3D engine, if done right (and it looks good from the videos), will be great. Will probably be easier to see where you need to improve (f.ex. if you see a lot of your defenders not winning their headers, etc).

I'm actually looking forward to all the features mentioned in the video.

The 3d match engine obviously (especially since there have been so many discussions about it), but also the press conferences.

Match engine, widgets, press conferences, transfer system, regens....

It's all good stuff to me. Every feature made me smile. My only concern is that for those like myself who whip through the game at a rate of knotts is that the press conferences before and after games may get a bit tiring if they're not well done. But then hopefully you can set it so the assman does them.

preferred moves feature...

All of the above.

The new transfer market code and the 3D are the main areas I'm looking forward to test.

Basically all of the above really.

For me the major interest is the Ass.Man feedback

I don't like downloading BS tactics that abuse ME flaws

I don't like using well written but lengthy systems posted by other people

I like using my own tactical ideas, the only problem up till now has been how hard it is to work out WHY my tactics qualify for the "most inept & useless tactics of the year, and probably ever" award, so this 1 feature alone (if it works how i hope it will) could make the game much more enjoyable to me.

Exactly what i would have liked to have said........I am looking forward to noting what my Assistant points out after i was pleased with 2-0 at HT,getting 3-0 up after giving player motivation[+pleased on most squad as we had lots of possession and looked more precise] to suddenly being pegged back to 3-3 at the end while my team was still precise with their shots and 60% in possession[this just happened today]

Surely scoring after the break should have some demoralizing effect[maybe discussion for another thread on another day]

If the 3D match engine is implemented properly then this should give a more realistic, dynamic and involving experience, and include that with a new dynamic and engaging training module ! WOW

Christmas has come early for the majority of us, also the fact it has been three years in development how can it fail.

The only downer personally, is if we still get the slider bar thingy with the training module.

Surely not.

3D engine and PPM trainning

The ability to type you own comments in at the press conference after stoming out left a tear in my eye, so many swear words and so little time.

You saw that too

I just suggested this the other day in the huge 'suggestions' thread. Precognition FTW!

Everything really, but mainly the Assistant manager feedback and the new transfer system.

I voted for all of them, I'm just looking forward to the whole game!

I cant wait for the 3d match engine, it looks great on the video and aparantly it is only 50% done.

there wasn't any mention of it but there better be an option where we can design our own set pieces.

i'd rather have that then any of the things that were annouced
