[FM11][RELEASED] Rowan's Regen Replacements (Cut-Out Style)

[mortiis7]

omg..can't believe that they even consider to put it or not...

i guess i should have stayed then with fm12 -.-

this is a MUST BE option in the game!

[Florian7]

let's go SI

make this available,pleaseeeeeeeeeee

i don't wanna play anymore,cuz my team is full of regens

i wanna make picture for them so that the game makes so much more real,and not like some cartoon for kids

This.

Im in my 3rd season and already a lot of "faceless" guys

Takes so much out of the game... we need to give them faces! Please SI

[Finners]

I voted Yes. I've been doing this for the last few versions, I don't really understand why they'd "remove" ("fix?") the feature.

To me, if a player or team hasn't given SI permission to use their likeness then I can understand them not putting images in the game but with a regen? It doesn't "belong" to anyone, why would you not allow a feature that enables players to pick an image?

I hope this is fixed in a not-too-far-off update. It kills the immersion a little bit for me having to look at a screen full of default player silhouettes (I'm not using the 3D images, they're absolutely dreadful, with all due respect.)

[mortiis7]

where is that topic where u send this issue to SI?

im waiting with my game for SI to sort this

Ditto! It's a game killer when most of the players are regens! Ruins the immersion like your playing cartoon football

[RowRow78]

Not too sure what to suggest, they have said they are considering it, but I'm not sure there is enough of a groundswell to really force the issue as apparently it wouldn't be a straightforwed fix. I can only encourage further comments on this thread as they are aware of this and hopefully someone from SI will continue reading...

[ChefRobGaming]

i hope they fix this them poor regen pics are terrible, I much prefer the option to add the faces to the game I paid for

thanks for trying to sort this Rowan

[mortiis7]

totally agree

if this option was in previous releases,and we bought fm version again,i think we deserve to have that option again...

we payed out hard earned money for this...

please SI make it available!

[freeze23]

We need this feature back in the game!!! Not the same feel without it.

[Florian7]

please SI make it available...you see how many of us want this...

and a lot of people who don't even know about this topic are complaining about this on other forums

[RowRow78]

Good to know Florian - can you provide links as we need to generate a bigger case for it and links to other topics/forums would help?

[Q.P.R]

I Cannot see any good reason why it should be back .

Well done SI it is good to see them taking this out ..

and as the poll shows here .. not many folk care a less

The majority of poll respondents would like this option re-enabled. It does not in any manner whatsoever affect those who don't want to use it.

Having just viewed your post history, it seems you like being negative for the sake of it. Added to that, you don't know what you're talking about. So kindly taking your trolling and contrariness elsewhere.

[Q.P.R]

If you dont like my opion then dont do a poll .

in my view this would be uesless to add to the game .

so i do not wanna see this added

Is this An opinion poll

or

An Non opinion poll

And out of my 183 post to date , care to show which are being negative for the sake.

or is it more to do with what you want you shall get or your scream and scream

[RowRow78]

He didn't do the poll, I did. Those of us that want to see it back feel it opens up more personalisation in the game, if you don't want to make use of it, then adding the ability back into the game makes no difference to you either way.

Thanks for your contribution though as you're the first person to have said that you wouldn't use it.

However, I think mons was simply picking you up on the rather confrontational style of language you used in your post.

"Well done SI it is good to see them taking this out .." - Not sure I understand your thinking here, taking out a function that some were using shouldn't really be congratulated, and if you feel it should then why?

Either way, I'm not sure that you are genuinely offering a reasoned argument but rather trolling, so we should probably just say that you don't like the function - for whatever reason, and leave it there.

[pantunes]

Why is it good for them to take this out of the game? Seriously, why is it a good thing?

If you dont like it dont replace the regens faces... it has no effect on people who dont like it, on the other side it kills the game for those who dont like to play with regen generated faces.

A good thing would be to leave it like it was and everybody was happy...

The way it was made no difference to you, and you say there's no reason why it should be back so is there a good reason for them to take it off? What's that reason?

I have stopped playing the game because of this

[mortiis7]

me to...i bought the game and im not playing it anymore...thinking to get back to fm12..and surely im not gonna buy fm14 if they don't get this back in fm13...cuz im not gonna waste my money anymore on game that i don't play cuz they removed such a great option...

[javiermontana16]

just voted the poll ... I agree and totally support!!! Just started the game, but can't afford playing with a puppets' team in a few seasons!!!

Another annoying change: I used to "print screen" in a text file in order to easily download regen's name, profile and ID, associate and rename the right regen face, update the XML file.

Now (FM13) if you "print screen" you get an "untitled" file, the profile is still in the file, but you lose player's name and ID and have to write it manually.

What I do is took out the showing photo regens thing so I don't see the cartoon faces.

To say that I won't continue to play, not that affected by it.

Let's go SIGAMES.

thanks

[mortiis7]

im little bit frustrated that's why i said that...

cuz with playing game like it is right now..after 2-3 seasons i dont wanna play anymore cuz more and more cartoon regen faces shows up

and im not able to at least make real pictures for my regen players

[mortiis7]

does anyone know when will even be next patch?

[Mons]

does anyone know when will even be next patch?

I believe SI have said one will be out before Christmas. So 10 days maximum away

[mortiis7]

let's keep our fingers crossed,that they enabled this!

[Shep_Sheepley]

So glad I found this thread!

The ability to replace regen portraits with "real" ones makes the game SO much more immersive, especially in later seasons as regens begin to constitute more and more of your squad. In fact, this was one of the features I appreciated most in prior versions -- it's very difficult to get attached to regens with blank portraits or computer-generated ones, so being able to change regen portraits meant that I no longer had to abandon playthroughs that I had invested so much time in and start over.

Please add this feature back, SI!

[mortiis7]

any feedback from SI?

cuz i dont play game anymore and waiting for this to be enabled...

[OlleDemens]

Any feedback from SI?

[RowRow78]

Not yet

It's been passed onto the right people, and my contact said he'd try and let me know when/if the function gets added. We'll have to keep an eye on the contents of upcoming patches and hope for good news.

[Telegram Sam]

I'm desperate for this to be added. I'm about to start my third season with Arsenal but am reluctant to play my regens without the ability to give them real faces. It really does make a big difference, so I'm extremely frustrated that SI have decided to remove the option. They don't give a toss about what the fans really want and I'm not holding my breath for any fix to this problem.

[Florian7]

i'm really frustrated also,and i'm not playing FM for last two weeks because of this problem...

i'm really really frustrated and angry on SI

[OlleDemens]

With 13.2 is it fixed?

[mark b]

Doesn't look like it :O

[mortiis7]

im really really dissapointed and angry at SI right now...im quit with playing FM13 and i regret i even bought it...they didnt enable this as i can see...

[mark b]

omg i can't believe it, especially after they can see how many people want it.

[pantunes]

I've really stopped playing the game now, and I regret every penny I spended on this.

[Telegram Sam]

This is ridiculous. At the very least we should be getting a response as to why they've decided to do nothing about this. I'm losing all faith in SI as a company that gives two ***** about its fanbase.

[OlleDemens]

Is it hard to adapt it to 2013?

[RowRow78]

It can't be done... it was there in FM10-12 but they "fixed" the apparent "bug" that enabled it. Now we need to get SI to re-encode the very "bug" we were all happily using

[mariotomaski]

totally agree.. come on!!!

totally agree

if this option was in previous releases,and we bought fm version again,i think we deserve to have that option again...

we payed out hard earned money for this...

please SI make it available!

[mariotomaski]

SI should consider that one reasone because plenty of us keep buying the game is the community. And the community is about tactical discussions, wonderkids finding, and MOST OF ALL graphical addons.. nobody never blames SI for the lackness of graphics in the game, because of the community providing any kind of graphic packs.. and the community doesn't like the plastic faces of regens, that's clear. So it was the community that resolved the issue for the customers of SI. For people who buy the game. And now they don't even care about the community BEGGING them to re-add this feature?

SHAME ON YOU!

I won't buy FM next year.. very good customer caring, dear SI, very good..

[mortiis7]

im quit with FM also..no way im buying the game next year..

[Mons]

A bit of perspective lads. This issue was flagged a week or so before the release of the last patch if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure it's important for you but it's not an absolute priority. Hopefully it'll be solved in the next update.

[RowRow78]

Actually a week before 2 updates ago, but yeah, we should give them a chance to fix it before saying we'll never buy another FM.

I think the problem is as people's save games progress throughout the months more and more regens will fill up their team, making it progressively more annoying as the days pass without a fix.

[gilerez]

lol you guys brought back this thread and I spent the last hour trying to get it work

[RowRow78]

lol, sorry gilerez, I had forgetten to edit the first page

Hopefully SI's gfx peeps are on the case....fingers crossed for the next update.

[Albaloa]

when will the next update be there?

[mortiis7]

i want to know that also..cuz im not playing fm anymore because of this

[mariotomaski]

am I wrong or another patch has been released without fixing it?

what a fantastic customer caring, dear SI!

[mortiis7]

disaster..im so much dissapointed and angry at SI...

[Albaloa]

Is there any contact from SI where we can mail all are complaints? Maybe, that gets their attention...
