Eborg Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Works pretty fast in the Galaxy Note, but the game doesn't stretch to full screen (800 x 1280 pixels) that is a shame with this huge 5.3" screen The intro screens are in full screen mode, the game it's not. Really? I hope @Marc Vaughan will look into it soon, I was hoping to enjoy it on the Note. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted April 11, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted April 11, 2012 Really? I hope @Marc Vaughan will look into it soon, I was hoping to enjoy it on the Note. We're definitely looking at a higher-resolution tablet screen as a possibility for an update at some stage. It may take a little while to get it to a stage where we're happy to send it out into the world, though - and of course it depends on which resolutions prove to be the most requested/used by purchasers of the game.

Great news re updated resolutions... works great on my Samsung Galaxy S2, but, as already commented by others, does not fill my screen on my Asus EeePad TF101. Still, I am absolutely delighted to be playing this great game on Android at last so thanks to Marc, Alari etc for making this happen :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanemadman Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, huge black borders on my Ainol Elf, would really appreciate a 1024x600 skin, but I guess it's not a very popular resolution. It runs super quick though! I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm not using the interface correctly, but if I have more than one job offer, there doesn't seem to be a way to view the others without rejecting the first offer?

mintvilla Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Fantastic work guys, runs great, very impressed and very grateful. I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its perfect. On the Asus transformer it runs fine, just needs full screen nd that will be perfect too (i know your waiting on feedback, though am pretty sure you will go with the standard mainstream tablet of 1200x800 as thats very common) Just one thing though, and am sure others will pick this up, its bad android practise for the back button to exit the game, at least without asking are you sure you want to exit, ive seen this quite often in other games, and people will moan about it. Its common practise for android folk to press the back button when they want to go back to a screen, now since this is the ios port, all the buttons are onscreen (which is fine btw they should be in games and not hidden away) but people will hit the back button by accident out of habbit, thus you may wish to consider including it as a feature that it takes you to a back page, or adding a pop up box asking are you sure you wish to exit the game. Luckily android has proper multitasking as when i did this i found my self back to my homescreen, however when i held the android home button down for a few secs to bring up recent tasks, it took me straight back to where i was so i didnt loose anything. just a suggestion guys, great stuff, got my weekend all planned out now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there is a way, but its a little bit complicated to do. first you have to go and buy the app, then there is a chrome plugin that lets you download apps from the google play website direct to your laptop Now that you have the apk (thats the file type of the app) you need to download somthing to play the app on theres quite a few programmes that do this, number one in a google search is called bluestacks, ive never tried it as well i have a phone and pc so i duno why you would want to? but neway thats how you do it. Btw it probs wont play well since its designed for touch screen and not a mouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a silly question but unfortunately only Android is supported by this app - so unfortunately it won't be playable on your laptop most likely, definitely not without some serious faffing around anyway (and we haven't done any QA on using something like bluestacks - tbh until mintvilla mentioned it I'd never head of it, so thanks for that Mr. Villa ).

Crispypaul Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Crikey this might actually work on my T-Mobile Vivacity (480x800, Gingerbread, 800mhz CPU).

Or do I have to wait until its expired? The exact situation depends on the real-life rules; for players in England you have to wait longer towards contact expiry before an approach to domestic players than for players playing abroad. Also what is the situation with loans. What is the amount allowed per season? And how many at one time? The rules you're under in this regard should be visible on the competition rules page (and again vary according to where you're managing as irl).

Navie Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 WOW...I haven't logged onto these forums for a while now till today when I saw FM 2012 handheld was available on the Play Store for Android so I had to log on and post! The last FM game I bought was FM 2011 for the PC...I have bought every game except FM 2012 for the PC, even though FM 2011 for the PC was a massive disappointment for me due to the complexity and how overerly complicated tactics became, I gave up on FM2012 for the PC and will never buy again. I currently am playing CM 97/98 on my Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note) using DOSBOX so its good to see something that is current, I think Sigames have made an excellent decision in moving from iPhone ...I just hope the Android version will never become overly complex like the PC version.
