SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 7, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 7, 2012 If a save game just consists of one file and the save location can be customised then dropbox should be able to do it no problem. The save game is a single file - but the location for the save is fixed presently (all data is installed into a location named fmh_data) - if people want during the update cycle I can probably look into allowing this to be customized so that it can be moved ...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 7, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think they do but may as well as ask:Marc will things like this, this or this work? To be quite honest I haven't 100% checked - but in theory all the various saved files from the iOS version should work on Android, the only notable exception might be the unlockables file as I might have changed the format of that slightly I'm not certain (and tbh if I have then I wouldn't be totally upset as I think part of the fun is NOT CHEATING and unlocking things for yourself ).

gielvandanu Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've been waited so long for this football manager in my android. In FM PC , I played since 2001. by the way, will this FM work on my LG optimus black? Thank you for the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 9, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 9, 2012 by the way, will this FM work on my LG optimus black? Yes the game should work fine on that device - its well in excess of the minimum required spec. (it hasn't to my knowledge been tested specifically on that device - but I'm very confident it'll work without issue, obviously if anything does play-up then let me know and I'll get things tweaked asap) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ιвяσ Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 From my experience (I haven't really checked with a debugger), when you rotate your phone the resolution changes to 480x320.

SI Staff Jamie King Posted April 10, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 10, 2012 Galaxy Y has a lower than minimum res, so I imagine it wont work. Just to confirm this (quoting Marc in another thread): "I'm afraid it won't work on that device - as the resolution is below the minimum supported (320x480) sorry. The main reason is that the vast majority of devices on that resolution have very small screens which wouldn't make the touch input required for the game particularly usable imho, if enough people request it though then I would be open to reconsidering this at some point in the future." @Neil Train - We do try to make sure the db includes some of the higher reputation and high potential players regardless of which nation you have active. However, as Denmark is not a playable league - the pool of players is likely to be limited in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2403 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The only point stopping you from playing is the screen resolution, otherwise it is very similar to the Galaxy Ace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceirdiff Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Will th dynamic league reputation be in the game? Or in the very least, if I do successful in a league, will the other teams tend to do better as well? Not entirely related, but I remember on FMHi10 I bought a newport co. player for 1m to see what would happen. They made no further transfers and got relegated again...

Or in the very least, if I do successful in a league, will the other teams tend to do better as well? Dynamic league reputation isn't present in FMH2012 - but it is something I'll be considering for the future. Not entirely related, but I remember on FMHi10 I bought a newport co. player for 1m to see what would happen. They made no further transfers and got relegated again... Depends entirely on the club, board and situation - with a lot of smaller clubs who might run at a loss and have unambitious chairmen they could well just bank the money against future losses (or to recoup past losses). (the manager at the club could have splurged some - but often the clubs in question are at a competant level already and they don't bother to, I can look at making them a bit more agressive in this regard, but the smaller inactive clubs in FMH tend to run a streamlined transfer AI to keep the game processing quickly - as such they aren't as active as clubs in active divisions) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceirdiff Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I just tried again on my Luton Town save (FMHi11, y: 2015). I bought a player from AFC Wimbledon for £7.5million (BSP was an active league). They made no other transfers for the whole window, but were correctly called rich. Small clubs surely aren't making losses of 7.5m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 10, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 10, 2012 As I said I'll take a look into it ... does sound unusual (although so it could be said is your spending 7.5m on a Blue Square player ). PS - Do bear in mind that the transfer system has been tweaked a lot since FMHi 2011; so this might already be improved in that version, I can't know 100% if thats the case obviously until I've looked into it, but each update we try and rebalance and improve all of the game engine as much as possible based on the feedback we receive - what you're doing is a very unusual case and I can't honestly remember if its something our QA has covered previously (but will be doing so in the future ).

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 10, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 10, 2012 Out of curiosity, will this be shipping with two databases? FMH Android will ship with the January database only - the reasoning is simply that this keeps the download as compact (and fast to install) as possible, Android devices download themselves rather than on iOS where often people download onto a computer and then sync to that (and some older devices have small cache's which makes the downloads fairly slow).

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted April 10, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 10, 2012 Will the player ratings /stats be identicle to the PC version or different The FMH games share the source database with the PC version however the attributes displayed are slightly different - one of the reasons for this is that the screens on handheld devices are smaller than on a PC (meaning less attributes can be easily visible at once), for this reason some attributes are amalgamated into a single visible item. For instance on the PC you can see 'Pace and Acceleration' seperately on FMH you see 'Pace' which is made up of 'Pace and Acceleration' behind the scenes.
