Rafa2007 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 As i said before his holiday test is only over half a season you need to do a full season before concluding anything I already did a test of IFK and goals from corners, yes it was over half a season but it was far too many specially for the half way point in the season, this imbalance leads to too many goals being scored, it was the same as in FM11 the too many goals from corners and IFK led to, to many goals being scored in the league your playing in. IE On the FM12 demo a team had 10 goals from corners half way through the season, realistically it's going to be up to at least 15 by the end of the season, far too many, posted a thread about it in the bugs forum anyway, and it appears SI know it's a problem and are fixing it. And it's not just one team, multiple teams have 6+ goals from corners half way through the season when perhaps 6 throughout a whole season is enough.

Tony7 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I hardly played the last three Football Manager games because I didn't find it enjoyable. AI on match day was poor, very few options to chose from in team talks, had to trawl through many menus and the questions and and answers were very repetitive but this year the AI is a lot better and the graphics have come on a long way. I like the team talk as I have more options on what I can say like and how the players respond from their body language, despite so many things that you can do and view in the game this time si have made it simple to keep up to date with everything. I had a player who recieved a knock in the game and I got a note in screen telling me the % of the players fitness and do I wish to make a sub and having the players attributes etc on one screen much better. I think this years football manager has put the enjoyment back into the game and you feel that the decisions you make have an effect on players and results. I can see myself playing the game into the early hours of the morning again. One negative I think si have been lazy with some of the players attributes and not changed a lot of them as I feel Lennon, Young and Adam Johnson are better now and deserve their attributes updated.

Rayban_DK Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Things that should have had some attention pre-release: 1) You can no longer double-click on a player in tactics to get to his player instructions. The same goes for team instructions when double-cliking the pitch. 2) In match 3D view, during a match: If you place the "player rating" pop-up-thingy to the far right of the screen, many of the small "i" icons won't work when you hover your mouse over them. 3) Why is it not possible to view the attribute-web-icon on the players home screen? We can view all other sorts of stuff, but not the easy at-a-glance web-graphics icon that many of us use to get a quick sense of strengths and weaknesses of a player. 4) Why is that web.icon still so small relative to the empty space around it? 5) Why can't we hover the mouse over the attributes-web-icon groups to have a pop-up telling us which stats are grouped within? 6) In my own squad view: When I want to filter for a left midfielder, why do I still have to click and un-click each position and side box? Why is there no "remove/add all" box, so we are not forced to click ten times to show and unshow left midfielders? 7) Why can't I right click on any empty space and get a pop-up giving me easy shortcuts to any aresa I have specified beforehand? As of now, when I right click, nothing happens. 8) Why do you show the attribute "penalty kick" under the GK attributes? Shouldn't you rather show the more important "save penalty" attribute? I do love the game though, have had for years and years, so KUTGW! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steam window opens up and a smaller widow says that the demo is launching but the game doesn't start. I get no messages. I'm not sure what is going on or what is the problem exactly. All I know is that FM12 demo is not starting for me. BTW, I'm on Mac. Am I supposed to go to Steam.exe and into "properties"? I can't find Steam.exe.

BiggusD Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 EYH Ackter, you closed that "difficulty level" discussion before I finished this answer, so here it is as per your suggestion: There shouldn't be a difficulty slider that would reduce your options compared to that of the AI managers. That isn't a good option. The AI team building, youth development and transfer logical systems should be improved so that the best managers are as good as the human managers can be. So a 20 in Buying Players should mean that he knows all the tricks in the book. It would mean that his ability to assess the needs of his tactic and team depth is so good that he is able to use the information already available in the game just like the humans. This would require SI to use something else than the current CA-PA calculation + Reputation as a basis for AI decision making regarding signings. A possible solution would be to make comprehensive manager personalities where each of the categories included a list of prefered player types for each role. Coupled together with a similarly comprehensive "prefered tactics" system where each formation have a range of different roles connected to each position, this would make each manager look for specific player types that would fit into the roles they prefer with their tactic. This requires the player roles of the TC (at least under the hood) to include all the attributes, not just the key ones. Not only will that prevent the AI from buying high-PA/Rep players which have awful attribute distribution, but since this would have to be incorporated into the player generation system it will also improve long-term games; preventing the inevitable quality drop. Since SI incorporates more and more attributes into their existing system already, they could as well just go the full length straight away imo. Another necessary tweak would be that manager (and board) Ambition influences the likelyhood that they only sign players that are better than the one(s) they already have assigned to that role. More specifically, if a manager of Sheffield Wednesday/United in League One finds that his left winger is a "Good Player For Most League One Sides" they must know that this is not anywhere near good enough for a club fighting for promotion into the Championship. He should only sign players that are "Leading Star For Most League One sides" or better. This isn't happening in FM11 and I believe that is one of the main reasons for the lack of a challenge in long-term games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekman Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 is it just me or is the match view slower than in 11? i've got a 5*rating but it's sometimes jerky, sometimes the time only advances a few minutes and then stops. 8gb quad nvidia gt240 Thats odd. I only have a core2duo, 4 gb ram and a fairly average graphics card and the game is perfecly smooth for me. In fact I'd say it the best its been since the 3d was introduced. I'd try updating your graphics card drivers to see if that helps. Fantastic, haven't been this impressed with a football manager game in years. Directors camera view is brilliant. Yes I love this view as well. Its definitely the one I'll be using when my game finally arrives from amazon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Wakeford Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 One thing that should be said about difficulty levels getting "easier" - if you're finding the game easier than before, you've played previous versions. If you've played previous versions you'll be familiar with certain techniques of management that have been successful for you and it's likely you're carrying this knowledge into the new games. I play the game less nowadays than I used to and at times I find the game a real challenge. When I played lots and lots I found it was a bit easier. I don't really think the game has got easier. There's certainly been no changes implemented to create that effect. What has got easier is the way in which you can interact and have easier control over what you're doing than in past versions. Any game you play lots of you'll find you get better at, or become more comfortable with. I don't really see why FM is different in this respect.

He might say that the team need a bit of gentle encouragement, so I go to calm talk and say your doing well keep it up.

Guest Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The team talks are absolutely awful. It's gone beyond micro management from what I can tell.

Let me check but I think even though the assman suggests what to say, you can ignore and say nothing both at half time and full time. He might suggest what you should be saying but does not actually say it, if you decide to say nothing, which I have done re freindlies then thats' it? Hope that makes sense? I will try putting assman on teamtalks as well to see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
