Scoham Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 My game froze for the first time earlier, was in the middle of a match I think. Also seen a few strange moments in 2D, like players dribbling across the area with a defender following them, or players standing in the area doing what looks like nothing at all (perhaps you could say the striker is holding off the defender though, but it does go on too long and isn't really a key highlight). On the player positions screen, could you update the colours to match the PC game? So green is natural, a slightly darker (or is it lighter, can't remember) shade of green is accomplished, a bit darker is competent etc. This changed between FM 10 and 09 so the "greener" the circle was the more natural they were, going down to yellow, then orange and finally red. Currently it's using the FM 09 style which was a bit random. One question - are PPMs used in this? Nicky Bailey gets forward from midfield for me, and Semedo never does. Is this Bailey's 'get into opposition area' and 'arrives late in opposition area' PPMs kicking in, or does the game somehow set the more attacking MC to get forward more, and the defensive one to sit back, whichever way around you put them (one in MC right and MC left)?

Jonno Wilson Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Marc - Just a quick suggestion after playing the game for a day, when selecting the starting line up on match day, is it possible to have the fixture at the top of the screen, as sometimes I have loaded the game on this page and I have to go through about 4 menus to find out the 'fixture' that I am picking my team for. Maybe just a "Vs Arsenal" or something like that written at the top so that we know who we are facing without having to go through the menus to find out Is this something worth doing, are other people wanting this too? Or is it just me? Great game, I love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickponty1 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 For those of you struggling with the fiddly team selection screen, I've found it easier if you display the formation alongside the squad list, you can then scroll up and down the list by dragging up and down on the pitch, rather than the tiny scroll bar or the players names themselves. Because there is nothing selectable on the pitch display on the right hand side, it means you dont accidentally select players, scroll the wrong way, etc....

edgar555 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'd just like to eat a bit of humble pie. I was quite 'gobby' about this being a waste of time. However I find myself with a few annoying journeys and work trips coming up where I may not have access to my laptop the whole time. So I took a punt on this after seeing some favourable reviews. I've literally only just downloaded and had a mess about, not got anywhere near playing a game yet but first impressions are that it is very slick and the UI is very intuitive. Maybe this was my issue with the PSP version and now that I can physically touch objects and make stuff happens it just seems nicer. So credit where it is due, although as I haven't played a game yet I do reserve the right to come back on here and moan again, however I feel it is unlikely. Well done SI. EDIT: also just wondering, is this the 'secret' thing that Ian Holloway was talking about in the Metro a few weeks back? If not what else do you have up your sleeves?

Keify Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cheers for that mate, glad I'm not alone with this issue but sadly it's not usually me doing the scoring! heheMarc - any ideas on this please mate? & outstanding work, much appreciated! I've also noticed that problem a few times. It happened a few times when I very first started playing then seemed to clear up but has done it a couple of times in my last few games. It's weird, the 2D view comes up, the first few frames of the animation play and then it just stops for about 5-10 seconds then returns to the text view - usually with a goal being scored (but not always). I have only noticed this in the zoomed in 2D view so far but haven't used the zoomed out view as much. I'm playing on a 16GB iPhone 3GS. RE: Transfer budgetsFor those of you who have noticed that some clubs have very small transfer budgets in the game - this is a quickstart-only issue and one we're working on fixing as a priority for a future update.

I wondered why I started with only £1.9m with AC Milan! Made me laugh when the board told me their expectations for the season was to challenge on all fronts and they were going to give me £1.9m to do this with!

waddie Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Great achievement guys, thanks for the game, been playing FM/CM in some form since first incarnation. Best iphone game I have by a country mile. Feedback in order of importance : 1) Attribute search - this would make a great difference 2) Match engine jerky and cuts to goal often, a bit annoying, and detracts from experience. I've got a 3GS and have rebooted. 3) Ability to adjust wage/transfer fee woulfd be great. A lower league level I never pay transfer fees so goes to waste, and I desparately need the wages! 4) Software developer in me want to know if there is any way to back up my save game ?

I've got a 3GS and have rebooted. I'm trying to track this down - some people seem to have this happen a lot whereas many never see it, I'll keep on it until its sorted though. 3) Ability to adjust wage/transfer fee woulfd be great.

Herbie Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Am liking the game - top job guys. The quick start issue makes a hell of a difference, was wondering why teams had more money when i didn't manage them. Agree on attribute searches and have had the 2D freeze prior to a goal, some extra balls/players sort of appear on the pitch and e.g. a winger and fullback move forward and back for ages with nothing happening before it switches back to teh text with a goal announcement. Nice to be on here to take my mind off the result. My Mugabe media lockdown doesn't need to stretch to this part of the SI site! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo95 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hello, congrats on a great game. A few things, currently I have found a few missing players, Daniel Jones, from wolves on loan to bristol rovers,, and mikkel anderson, from reading on loan to bristol rovers, alos paul heffernan isnt on loan at rovers either :/ Another idea is the live league table and the cup grid during games. EDIT: Found the live league table Just another small pain, whenever i have the live league table up and my team is lower in the league than that of which is being shown, i scroll down only to find that when the next highlight comes on the league table is back upp at the top :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo95 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I would also like to see the game more realistic for the lower leagues, a player not in favour would sell for nothing, not 10k or even a player that plays some games then some not, he costs 24k on the game but in real life would cost nothing. Also lower league players would defo go to another league club especially if the club is higher in leagues which isnt relfected on the game EDIT: Another thing that fustrates me is that a lower league player, how ever fast he may be always seems to be like 11 pace, Andrew williams for example, our ST, he is very quick and strong but this isnt reflected in the game , pace 11 ????? This is not a fair relection, someone in the premier league with the same speed would be about 17pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
