RT-- Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Bit disappointed to note that Man United have spent £15m+ each on two 30+ year olds, plus £10m on a 29 year old, while selling off Nani for £5.5m. I really can't imagine many top teams paying that sort of money for players of that age, and certainly not Man Utd. I'd sort of hoped AI teams would be a bit more thoughtful with their transfer policies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Perfect-Fm'er! Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just had a goal that I don't think I saw once on FM09. Stoke had a corner last minute of the game, it was cleared to the edge of the box, then Sidwell released Warnock instead of just randomally hoofing it, leaving Warnock one on one with the keeper despite being just entering the Stoke half and he finished into bottom corner. I remember going mad on 09 at times, my players being completely free on the counter attack, all it needed was a simple pass most non league footballers could play yet they just smacked it anywhere.

ldktalin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think the interface is probably the worst ever. Things seem randomly thrown around the screen, and finding Player Search (Transfer Centre) or even Save/Quit Game (and the entire related menu hidden behind the randomly placed "FM" icon) was a real pain. I had to say that bit first. The rest of the game is absolutely amazing - and I really do not say this often about games. I'm impressed, well done, it's certainly a huge step forward from FM09 and earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I thougt IRL Man Utd had a policy not to buy players over 26. Also, I had a rather brilliatn goal scored for me recently. My DM (I play with a diamond formation, very reliable imho) got the ball sort of layed off to him from a FK which was 35 yards out according to the commentator, and absolutely blasted it into the top corner. Keeper was helpless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drevil1969 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 First things first did what a few others did and got my names the wrong way around But this does look tasty, only played two pre season games so far but this is very impressive, cant believe i was even remotely tempted by cm lol Now as far as im aware the thread is about how prople feel about the demo, as in si want to know what people think. This game looks class, everything has been improved upon and now things that i didnt understand before make a gell of a lot more sense. Grahically it has moved up a few gears too. the players really do kick the ball much better, felt that in fm09 they kicked it in a funny way but not now Match engine big improvement, players making sensible runs, defending better and just looks like a proper game of football. The main screen is very sharp, very easy to find everything you want and everthing where it should be, also the colour scheme is very good too and makes it easy to read. The processing speed I think has been toched up as well and now seems much quicker as well. This is what i have noticed but with very little game play so far, i may change my mind but so far this is outstanding, big thumbs up to SI. I have been a bit critical of FM before finding some thing snon sensical but now anything i dont understand is cleared up and is now a great game for beginners and experts alike. The balance which must of been difficult to get right seems to be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 One thing I dislike is the slider notches on the tactics interface which are too big and obscure the actual setting. It's only a small thing but it's very frustrating. You can't see the difference between the first two notches, even on the 'player instruction' or 'team instruction' page where the slider is bigger. Even worse, when the slider is smaller (e.g. comparing mentalities or closing down settings for players using the 'view' menu) you cannot see the difference between the first three to four notches and the last three to four notches! It's a real pain if you want to do some tweaking, as you keep having to click in and out of the player instruction screens to get the bigger slider. This is a pain for people who like tweaking the sliders and sometimes the slider doesn't reset perfectly to 1, meaning that it can be sitting on 2 and you cannot tell. The only way to see is to click and if the slider moves immediately then it hasn't reset to 1 properly (because it actually takes 2 clicks to get it to move). It's something I'd like to see adjusted slightly to be a bit more user friendly. Is it possible that the actual notches themselves could be made smaller? Regards, C.

lmarsha_926 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have played 2 competitive games and 6 friendlies and in all but 1 of these games there have been no goals in the second half.

Twellman24 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ok, this is starting to get annoying.

Bwfcdan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 We'll ive just finished my first league match as manager of Man City. Played United away and i won 2-1. Tevez and Adebayour. The year's game is a bit too complicated for me. By the way how do you change tactics in a match without it having to be showing a key moment? And im still disappointed as Wigan got just under 25,000 for there first game of the season against Wolves...never in a million years would that happen... its the same every year, attendences for clubs such as Wigan and Blackburn are unrealistic compared to real life...

TheGreatRadish Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 This isn't good, it's GREAT. Really, it's the first FM release since '05 that Ive grabbed the demo and been so excited about. The SI crew have every reason to be proud of this and I'm pleased for them that the initial reaction appears to be so positive after some of the criticism of FM09. I'm one of those guys who lost my way a bit with FM recently despite playing it religously since CM2 because of what I perceived to be ever-increasing complexity - the sliders were fine, but in recent years, I didn't have the time (and, frankly, the skill) to enjoy the tactical side of the game. Now I do. Yet, the complexity can still be there for those who want it. There's something here for everybody - that, I think, is the reason that this will retrospectively be looked upon as a classic version of the series. Well done to the team, I just hope you get as much enjoyment from your work as we do playing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robioto Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My first impressions are that I don't really like the skin, it's too....... white. But I know that can be changed at a later date. Other than that it's very good. Great fun blowing Notts County's massive budget! The interface isn't great. I'm really struggling to find things, not user friendly at all IMO. I know I'll get used to it but I can't remember having this much trouble getting used to it. Normally you just cruise right in to the new games.

Robioto Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just downloading it now. Cant be arsed reading through the pages so can anyone tell me. How much dosh do you get to spend at Notts County? Between £1m and £1.2m, depending on your season ambitions.

Wiitastic Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 When I first loaded up the Demo last night after work, I was lost, very very lost with the new setup. It took me a few minutes of clicking on different parts of the screen to understand more of the new layout, still not 100% workable for me, but i'll get htere after a few days, in plenty of time before I get the full game within the 2 week time frame.

CSF90 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Played a bit tonight (got to the first 3 league games of the season), and I'm really enjoying it so far. I love the new skin - very clean and much more user friendly in my opinion. Not that I found previous years to be user unfriendly, but it's still a massive improvement. The match engine and graphical tweaks are all very good and make FM09 (a disappointment in many ways) look very inferior. Examples include moving nets, substitutes, a reasonable-looking crowd etc. The biggest improvements were the tactics creator and generally just the whole new tactics system. I love that when you make a substitution and select a player, you can choose his playing style and mentality, as well as highlighting the relevant attributes. It makes it so much easier to create customised tactics. Anyway, I could go on and on, but I'll definitely be buying this years version and it is indeed 'polished' and is looking likely to be my favourite FM of all time.

lance101 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Some issues: - When selecting a bunch of players at the same time, you can do something (say transfer list them or offer them to a club), but if you try doing a second thing, it will only do it to the player you are putting your cursor on top of. - When offering one player, the offering price always reverts to the player value, even if you already tried offering him for a lower price. - The possibility of customizing screens is great, but it has at least one bug: when customizing staff searches, you only get the same options as for a player (you can't for instance choose to have a column with the Judging Potential for a scout). Other things that I think would make this customizing better (at least to me), would be being able to add the fitness description to the tactics and pre game screen (you can make it appear in your squad screen, but not in the pre-match screen, where it would be more useful), and also the CA according to the Assistant manager. Finally, I think we should be able to make our custom screens show up outside of the "custom" menu (I have no interest in using the original menus, would prefer to have a faster access to my customized menus); and also we should be able to save our customized menus, to be able to share with friends. Overall, a great step in the right direction!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinocerous Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 lol, I just had a game where, with Contain as my strategy, and "retain possession" as a touchline shout, Klaas Jan Huntelaar booted a ball from the middle of the defensive straight backwards into orbit to concede a corner. Didn't affect the game, but you'd think a player of his quality would know to at least put it to the side for a throw, if not control the ball and boot it the proper direction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyt Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks for the Tactics creator. The tactical twitching was one of my main bugbears with previous games. This looks like a very intuitive and realistic was of doing it. Feels more like you are explaining to the team how you want them to play than all that messing about with sliders. I know different people play in different ways and I like to wheel and deal in the transfer market an find the right players for my system. In previous editions, that was hard, because it was difficult to get your 'system'. Now I can decide how to play and look for the right players to fill the gaps. Normally, my first few weeks of a new game would be a string of 5-0 defeats butthis time althought I'm struggling in the League, it's realistic struggling and I can see why. Excellent work SI!

Jimmyt Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Oh yes, one thing I spotted. I know in the early versions of previous editions, there has been an issue with penalties (never being saved for example) I've had two spot-kicks so far and both have been hit straight down the middle. Both have been kicked clear by the 'keeper. The first went straight back to my striker who proceeded to kick it straight back down the middle again for another easy save, and the second was just cleared. Quite possibly jus down to my own players though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted October 16, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted October 16, 2009 I don't actually care for dribbling animations at this point. I just want my technical gifted players to be able to dribble past opponents, even if it means passing through them. I just can't believe that this is still not happening in the game. This may also explain in an indirect way why there are no statistics of the runs made in the analysis tool. Major, major disappointment. No, that is not the direct or indirect explanation for the analysis tool not having dribbles/runs past opponent show. That was just never included in the original wishlist of things to track with the tool. You may have noticed that "Runs Past Opponent" has however been a stat tracked by the match stats for quite a while and we are looking into also adding this into the analysis tool in the future.

SI Staff Riz Remes Posted October 16, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm very disappointed that you still can't give team talks to players during substitutions. Yes you can. When you have setup a substitution, the "Team Talk" tab in the tactics screen becomes available and you can setup team talks for any subs in there before confirming the sub(s). The team talks are not yet available if you make a quick sub straight from the TV view but we are also looking into implementing the team talks in there sometime in the near future.

Mungy Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Played one match. It looks stunning. The interface is confusing at first look, but it's beautiful to look at.

As it stands I will be buying this as soon as I have funds. Well done SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
