ed123 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I know this has been brought up before. But the game is so perfect imo that a great addition, especially to online play, would be if a friend was allowed to ref a game as the 3rd person. It doesn't have to be any more complex (ie some career option etc) Is it possible to just mod it? Has SI ever seriously considered adding it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twellman24 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have a better idea. How about an option to be a fan watching the game? That way you could have thousands of people online participating in the game, and as a fan you could do whatever you wanted! Stand up, sit down, look like you're having an epilepsy attack...well, that'd be pretty much it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadfncat Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 There should be a feature where we can be a fan, go in to the stadium, buy a jersey and a beer. go take a **** at halftime etc. Would be AWESOME! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phnompenhandy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks to a new feature in FM2012 you CAN participate. This is what I'm doing in the demo: customise the new SHOUTS feature and give it your own name. I have one called 'PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT!' [well, a bit ruder]. So when I click on it I imagine me in the crowd shouting abuse at the team and the team responding by pushing forward, upping the tempo, going in hard etc. Magic!

Kenco Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Referee Manager 1.0 ? Maybe as a plugin I would say Referee Manager? So you have to manage a bunch of referees rather than do any refereeing yourself? That sounds even better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed123 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well, I'm into real-life games, and I won't judge someone for playing whatever they want. I like the idea of being a police officer, soccer manager, a doctor, etc..because aside from one of those, chances are I won't become that, so it be cool to give it a shot in some way through a game. I like other games too like nation building, war games, other strategy games. I find some of the most popular games stupid in some way..World of Warcraft?!? One of the most popular and well rated games..I find it dumb..something nerds and geeks would play. But whatever, people can play what they want if they find it entertaining. The only reason I thought there might be some interest is the fact that few people like referees and I think it be cool to actually see how well you would do..put your whistle where your mouth is, lol and actually see how well you can do. I think reffing some of the most key matches is pretty enticing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed123 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Furthermore, I would never play a referee game if it was made on its own..that's STUPID. Nobody can build a realistic enough environment like FM has to actually make it all that realistic at all. Is someone going to make the most realistic game ever just so someone can ref? lol Of course not. That be a waste of time. BUT AS A MOD, an addition to an already good game, it makes some sense. The modding community for GTA created a mod so you can be the police (the other side) that was succesful. You can also control the ambulance. You can also drive a taxi. Is that stupid?

Cause = Time Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I disagree. It's not a terrible idea as a game (though for a very niche market), but as a mod to FM it makes no sense at all. There's absolutely no framework within the game for it to be built on. The GTA mod you mentioned worked as a mod because it can be one by making a few changes to the base game. There are some significant differences, but a lot of the game's structure can still be re-used. Making a 'be the ref' mod for FM, on the other hand… you'd basically be writing an entire 'be the ref' game from scratch anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed123 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Well about that, cause=time, I don't know. I know very little programming and have no idea how difficult or easy it be to add. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstar Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 FM is a management game, a turn by turn game if you prefer, it is not a first person action game or a simulation type sims game, it is a management simulation game. To many this may seem boring, not everyone has a management mindset but for me its perfect. I like the 3D as it allows for graphical appearance of what you do but thats all it should be, for anything else buy another game if you so wish.
