Football Manager 2012 Demo *OFFICIAL* Feedback Thread

[wally13]

Yeh i know, just mentioned that in reply to the guy who posted about beating Arsenal 5-0 with west ham.

Well im guessing that was a cup game or friendly and arsenal might of been away with a reserve team out

[SeanNUFC]

The west brom one or his one? Mine was a prem game. Not a big deal anyway was just mentioning it.

Sorry west ham game

[SeanNUFC]

Oh yeah duh@me, wasn't thinking that west ham are in the championship.

[Robert the Spud]

FM11 was too hard, and the FM12 DEMO is too easy... Are you people serious?

Firstly, its a demo, and perhaps SI need to add a few minor touches before the full game is released

Second, Im pretty sure people were saying and boasting about how much they loved CM012 because it was basic to play and winning was easier etc etc.

We finally have a near bug free game. A game that to me, is ridiculously awesome (I LOVE IT!!!) and people are here complaining about difficulty.

I can't wait for the full version to be released to see people then complaining about how hard it is

The demo IS the finished game. Nothing changes for the full release, atleast in terms of AI/difficulty.

Is there an explanation somewhere for what shouts do? I see there are a couple of new ones: "play through defense / run at defense", and I have to admit I can't quite see what they do. For new players, shouts generally must be confusing as heck without some quick help as to how they work.

.

surely they are pretty much self-explanatory? Play out of defence.....meaning, the defenders play the ball on the ground from defence as opposed to hoof-ball. Run at defense......meaning, your attacking players will......run at defence? I think even a child can understand this, no?

[Robert the Spud]

Arsenal lost 4-1 to west brom in my game lol. I think somethings need to be sorted out still to make this game more balanced. I have barely done much with the original 4-4-2 tactic you get.

They lost 2-0 to Swansea in mine. I was thinking, well, I don't care who they lose to aslong as they are failing epically

[Sharpy07]

Man city have just beaten Norwich at home 11-0!! Little bit crazy?

[Riz Remes]

With people saying that they are finding it too easy, is it possibly because our Team Talks are causing too much of an effect on players, i wonder if they need to be toned down?

The level of effects the team talks have on players has not really changed much this year at all. The reason why it may appear that team talks are "more effective" is because there is now immediate feedback on the team talks, so you can get a better idea of what way the team talk has affected the team.

[dovEs]

Is there any way to save a lineup in your tactics screen? I used to have a first string and second string saved one for important games and one for cup matches against weak teams etc, but I can't see how to do that now. Is it possible? Be a massive arse on if it isn't, having to manually move all the players every time.

[ianshort59]

Can anyone tell me where I can ask Assistant Manager to find me a loan player cant seem to find it.

[Svenc]

Can it be confirmed that players now more aggressively pursue their own goals? It is hard to tell from the little filtering of gameplay I usually take from a demo. But I started a new game with Ajax, had shortly thereafter rumors popping up that Arsenal would show interest in striker El Hamdaoui - and then El Hamdaoui handed in a transfer request (he wanted to move on to a bigger club). I denied, and after that this conversation took place.

I liked this a lot, as I found that players were far too loyal and the effects of denying transfers was a little too forgiving previously. (Just hoping that El Hamdaoui doesn't suddenly "forget" what I have done to him later on in the save). I also vagely remember Miles talking about players now more proactively looking for contract terminations in the case of relegation - this coupled with an AI that more aggressively competes on the transfer market would be immense. :-)

Right click any free space on the pitch on the Tactics screen.

Its not...this could be a bug. I had 2 x Gavin Gordon's (at Thurrock) as Ass Man (duplicated) so I terminated 1, still have one more but this button is now not showing.I think the game doesnt recognise me as still having an Ass Man?

You should post it in the bug forum and upload your save game.

That's a really great addition, i agree that most players were far too loyal on previous FM's.

Have made them aware - seems specific to Thurrock! Lucky me!

[theboydonegood]

I find the actual match of Football Manager to be quite tedious and too time consuming. As such if lets say I am playing a team i expect to beat or I am thrashing someone or getting thrashed myself I like to go on holiday for 1 day from 'within' the match itself.

Just tried this in the demo and it told me I cant go on holiday on match day, is it going to be like this in the full game or is this just some quirk of the demo. If I cant go on holiday during the match i probably will refrain from buying this.

[Robert the Spud]

It's football manager- watching matches is, y'know, quite a major part of that. You just have to holiday before the game.

Has anyone had an issue with match re-scheduling? As Tottenham i played my Euro qualifier on Thursday night, but my league game is still going ahead on Saturday!

[frank_olaf]

Was just wondering if there is a way to change colour of the top navigation bar (the bit with the calender scrolling across the top and the bit right under that where the forward and backward arrows are)? I know you can change lots of skin colours in preferences but I can't seem to find this one. I remember it being a lighter colour in FM11.

Also, just a comment about the UI, it seems like more 'clicks' have been added in to get to certain places. For example, if I want to get to the 'Information' section, I now have to click on 'View Club' and then 'Information' where in FM11 it was all in the same section. It seems like more clicks have been added in the last few version, after FM09 (I think) when they moved away from the vertical tree menu and created the horizontal menu with sub menus, meaning I would have to click in to, for example, 'Transfers & contracts' and then 'Contract'.

Otherwise, I'm liking the new game.

[Bardi Golriz]

Please bring back the number of days until match (on the fixture panel/Date of fixture) it helped a lot when putting players to rest between games, as you knew directly how many days there was between games.

This has been raised and noted. Don't worry, it hasn't been permanently removed.

[taylorsmen]

Just a small gripe here, searching for a player to buy for my Hull City team and was looking at a right winger, anyways i click through several of his pages on his profile and decide against making a bid, so i hit the 'Back' button on my mouse and instead of it going back to the filtered search like it does in FM11, you have to hit the 'Back' button several times to get back to the player search. My gripe is, too many clicks to get off the players profile.

[theboydonegood]

It's football manager- watching matches is, y'know, quite a major part of that. You just have to holiday before the game.

Not for me it isnt, dont really enjoy the matches as much as most of the other stuff - I dont want to holiday before the game as that gives my assistant too much control

[baresi]

it would be nice if we could "undo" the managers team talk before a game. you can set it only one time and it stays fixed. that would be nice.

[dking]

I actually can't stand this game after playing through the demo. The navigation is awful, the teamtalks are awful, the player interaction is awful. I have never been so frustrated with an FM/CM game as I am right now. I'm done with it.

Back to FM11.

Edit - And press confrences? I mean seriously, after all the complaints about them, the'yre exactly the same as last years. Could SI have not at least changed a few questions? It's exactly the same. Terrible.

[Kazza]

Try right clicking on the back button with mouse - it will show you pages/screens you have visited and you can click on them to get to the one you want.

what? odd, bye then. don't know how you can say 'team talks are awful'.

[dking]

what? odd, bye then. don't know how you can say 'team talks are awful'.

Edit - Never mind

I'll explain why; It's a confusing mess whilst being a complete lottery of micro management. A lot of people have been put off because of the micro management in FM so it seems SI decided to put loads more in (go figure). People will no doubt say that 'you don't have to do it', but I'm afraid that you do if you want your team to perform at maximum capacity, so you can't really avoid it.

I used to enjoy teamtalks and giving my team that edge, now I have to sift through 20 possibilities and then maybe get the team talk wrong because it's even more of a lottery than it's ever been. Sorry but I don't get it, it's just so over the top it's bordering on ridiculous. Thats my opinion anyway.

If this is the future of FM then I'm gutted to say that my 15 year love affair with the franchise is over.

[taylorsmen]

Try right clicking on the back button with mouse - it will show you pages/screens you have visited and you can click on them to get to the one you want.

Cheers, will give that a go:thup:

[Bardi Golriz]

Where is the Assmans feedback on the team talk screen? I can't find it any where

As was pointed by somebody else, it's on the Assistant Manager's screen inside his Reports section. I appreciate it would be helpful if there's a hyperlink on the Team Talk panel that takes you there immediately. This has been noted.

[KUBI]

If you can't see all the improvements, the better game play and better UI, it's probably the better choice for you.

[Bardi Golriz]

What does the Twitter feed actually feed in to Twitter?

Certain Inbox messages are considered tweet-worthy, such as the message you receive when you win a league/cup. The feature is by no means designed to spam your followers, but intended to periodically share your progress with them.

[dking]

If you can't see all the improvements, the better game play and better UI, it's probably the better choice for you.

Everybody is different. Your idea of an improvement maybe my idea of a mess.

And in game I'm Liverpool who just lost 2-1 to Man Utd, so I also believe the match engine is broke.

[Bardi Golriz]

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!

1) As the Tactics has had functionality spread across numerous panels this year, we wanted to avoid the potentially jarring effect of switching between panels without realising. What we've added though to counter the loss of this behaviour is new keyboard shortcuts for each panel to quick switch between each panel, and a {right-click} menu when you click on a kit or empty space on the pitch.

2) Can you please post this issue in the UI bugs subforum (http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/241-User-Interface)?

3) This is something we'll definitely be considering introducing to the Player Profile in the future.

4) Something we've been meaning to change, but have had to postpone in the name of prioritisation. Fixing this isn't a straightforward job unfortunately.

5) Decent suggestion. Not sure how feasible it is as it's a single object, but something worthy of considering to implement in the future.

6) Another decent shout, which I believe is something that has already been suggested for implementation.

7) Empty space where?

[pigfacemonkeyman]

Is there an explanation somewhere for what shouts do? I see there are a couple of new ones: "play through defense / run at defense", and I have to admit I can't quite see what they do. For new players, shouts generally must be confusing as heck without some quick help as to how they work.

ETA: I just have to add that I adore the ability to group shouts and apply them before the match. It's a small thing, but it improves massively the way creating and using tactics feel. I always wanted to be able to do this in FM2011, and it's great to have it now.

Here you go (thanks for your input Robert the Spud )

From wwfan

There are four new shouts:

1: Play Ball out of Defence

2: Increases dribbling a notch in the top two strata and/or most advanced wide player

3: Decreases dribbling a notch in the top two strata and/or most advanced wide player

4: Increases crossing and reduces cross from a notch for wide players

[Bardi Golriz]

Sometimes a mouses forward and back buttons dont seem to register.

Not a mouse problem either as works in all other games and internet browsers.

Do you mean the click is registered, but doesn't take you to a different panel/screen i.e. keeps you where you were?

[Bardi Golriz]

I tried doing the tutorials first . But after five attempts to do the tactics one i gave up as it sticks on the screen where it tells you to move players around and the only thing left to do is click exit tutorial and either start again or say stuff it.

Can you please post this issue on the UI bugs subforum (http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/241-User-Interface)?

[Bardi Golriz]

That's what I'm talking about. In FM11 if you select the Ass Man to take control of team talks, he only does so at start of game, not half time and you have the option.

At the moment I can't choose if I want to say something at half time and at full time.

I believe delegating team talk duties to your assistant manager via your Team Policy results in him doing them all (including half-time and for subs even).

[Bardi Golriz]

is budget adjustment not available in demo? I'm currently playing sydney FC and the budget adjustment section is blank.

Should be available, yes. Perhaps worth positing on the UI bugs subforum (http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/241-User-Interface) with a screenshot to begin with.

[cragswfc]

i cant win a game on it

[Bardi Golriz]

I'm really really enjoying this, but I'm having a couple of problems with 'windowed' mode, which is how I prefer to play the game.

First, as a carry-over from last year, there is no scrolling within individual boxes, meaning that I have to exit windowed mode in order to scroll down in the coach assignment screen, the 'new manager' screen and in order to see the stats of the MoM in the post-match screen.

Further, in windowed mode, I cannot see the selection options for a player under his attributes - I only see the league stats and his attributes, not his injury status or suspension status. And yes, these are available in the overview screen, but it is unhelpful nevertheless.

Default screen res, prior to windowing, is 1366 x 788

Do you have problems you're experiencing in windowed mode when you're on full screen? Remember, if you're on windowed mode on 1366 * 768, you actually are below the minimum resolution supported as the window's titlebar and the operating system's taskbar (assuming you're on Windows) eats into the 768 vertical pixels required.

As for the scrolling issue within individual boxes, can you please raise this in the UI bugs subforum (http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/241-User-Interface)?

[Bardi Golriz]

Its not...this could be a bug. I had 2 x Gavin Gordon's (at Thurrock) as Ass Man (duplicated) so I terminated 1, still have one more but this button is now not showing.I think the game doesnt recognise me as still having an Ass Man?

Please post this issue on the UI bugs subforum (http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/241-User-Interface) so we can look into this more.

[Bardi Golriz]

Just a small gripe here, searching for a player to buy for my Hull City team and was looking at a right winger, anyways i click through several of his pages on his profile and decide against making a bid, so i hit the 'Back' button on my mouse and instead of it going back to the filtered search like it does in FM11, you have to hit the 'Back' button several times to get back to the player search. My gripe is, too many clicks to get off the players profile.

Go into your Preferences, and remove the "Enable Player Browsing History" option.

[Chris21]

Don't normally try the demo each year but I keep reading people having a jerky ME so it makes me think I'd better make sure I can the run the game. Surely if your able run FM11 then you should be able to run FM12 the same? Can't imagine its much different anyway.

[dking]

One for the bugs forum maybe?

Winning 2-1 at home to Reading. We have a corner in the 76th minute and my GK runs up to attack it. Needless to say, this is a bit messed up.

[Bardi Golriz]

it would be nice if we could "undo" the managers team talk before a game. you can set it only one time and it stays fixed. that would be nice.

There won't be an undo, as it will destroy the concept of having a conversation and getting reactions immediately. We could have introduced a [submit] button, but we thought this can become annoying i.e. select team talk, press [submit] and then get reactions every time you give an overall and individual team talk. Yes, this would have ensured you never accidently gave the wrong team talk, but the benefit of having this 'luxury' will be felt extremely rarely to warrant its inclusion.

I think it's a little bit more demanding on graphics and that's just enough to tip some peoples rigs over the edge (which they were pretty close to before)
