kaneomak Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Personally I find it a very effective quick visual cue as to whether a player is any good or not, tap a name and if you see a lot of green that's a good sign, a lot of red and it's a bad sign. Especially useful when managing at slightly lower levels.Edit: Looking at what you wrote again I'm assuming you're referring to the fact that there's a couple of extra 'steps' in terms of colours this year, we just feel this gives a bit more of a precise feel from a quick glance compared to last year. aye, I don't usually complain against design elements like this. If anything I'd probably have wanted something more complex than just red, blue and green. It's just that I've been playing the game excessively as of late and this came as a bit of an upset in the eyes but I'm sure it won't be a problem for long.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted December 8, 2011 SI Staff Share Posted December 8, 2011 The game looks awesome!..the social networking options is a great idea, the background seems slightly different which did catch my eyes out at first Glad you're enjoying it however, it is abit slow on starting a game....is that just for the first time?.. or will it be like that all the time?its very quick in normal play If you are playing a 'challenge' then its a bit slower than normal starting up as there is a LOT for it to do, otherwise it should be about the same startup speed as with prior versions ... A single league with quickstarts enabled will be fast as heck, multiple league setup is somewhat slower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyrussk71 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Waiting for Canadian release, still! Was so desperate to play immediately hearing the news that I redirected myself to the New Zealand App Store.... which led to disappointment as I couldn't download with the current Apple ID I only have. Also, I'm impressed by the responses from the SI employees. Really a great effort to get back to forum users and I very rarely see this (if ever) from other sites. Edit: DOWNLOADING NOW!!

David Milmine Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Are there live cup draws and can you play beyond 30 seasons? I'm sad to say no to both. The addition of live cup draws is a good idea and we will add this to the list of things to think about. I'll warn you that this list is pretty long already as we are always thinking about things to add or change! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhustwait Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi, I think I know the answer but just want to check, I have an iPhone, but will soon be getting an iPad, if I buy it for iPhone, will there be additional charges for the iPad version, or is it the same.

The first generation retina devices strain a little with the high res view when watching the matches; thats one of the reasons I left it as an 'optional' item (turn on/off in Preferences - User Interface) .... I will look at optimising things and trying to speed it up during the update cycle, but at present I have no idea how much faster I can get it tbh ...

dixie29 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I hope this lag problem is something that can be fixed ? i'm sure iPhone 4 should be able to handle it.

PS - As I've indicated elsewhere the speed appears to be 'better' on iOS4 than iOS5 for the original iPhone4 devices, also rebooting to ensure that there are no apps active in the background may also help with keeping things as smooth as possible. But overall this years release is superb ! Glad you're enjoying it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should help a little. I don't like this suggestion because it would exclude keepers and two great players in the same position. Additionally, the team report is based on the coach ratings. So I would instead go through my squad -> View menu -> select Detailed + Coach report. Then, sort your players by ability and thus see all players ranked from best to worst.

Wouldn't you have to look at iPhone/iPad screen anyway to see where your clicking? Or does the device work as a mouse? The way it works at present if you turn the 'Airplay' option on then it'll render an additional cursor to the screen so you can play looking mainly at the TV rather than the iPad, however I fully expect this side of things to evolve and change if it proves a popular option for people.

WayneRooneysHaircut Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Great job Marc! You deserve a raise. In fact, I would like to lobby for the Handheld game to be released on the PC! It is vastly superior to the standard PC game, much faster to play through, easier to tweak tactics, make signings etc. It is what the main game should be. I would have no problems paying ANOTHER $10 to play the handheld version on a computer. Keep up the good work, and make sure to submit the petition for the Handheld game to be playable on a PC!
