SMCaen001 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Is an issue with Steam. You need to update your client. Within Steam, go to the upper left hand corner of the Steam window, click "Steam" and then "Check for Steam client updates." This should update your client. Once this is done you should be able to install and run the game. Let me know how you get on, thanks. Mcafee was blocking connection to Steam for some Reason, anyway i Updated and everything is Fine, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

googol Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yep, as they are managed by a different staff member though they work a bit differently in game, so you won't have quite the same control over squad selection I'm afraid. Yes, and that isn't the main issue. The main and serious problem is that B team work as an affiliated club, so if we want them to play for B team, we need to sent them to there every time and not just tick on "Available for B Squad". Furthermore, the players doesn't develop any attributes while playing for B teams. Isn't possible to correct this? This is really annoying! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwfan Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 both it seems to many crosses are coming in Won't argue with that. However, I don't think the number of crosses correlates with the number of headed goals, which look fine to me. The core issue is there are too many wild crosses. I think the ME would be a step better if crosses went down, but if headed goals stayed the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the players doesn't develop any attributes while playing for B teams.Isn't possible to correct this? This is really annoying! I think that the only way to rectify this is to create a new category of "teams". The ideal way is to have a mix of rules of "reserve squad" with "B team", a kind of "hybrid" from both situations. You need to allow the relationship that exists in "Main Squad and Reserve Squad", regardling to the freely interaction and players exchange, and need to have the competition rules of "B Teams", that allow them to participate in professional leagues (second league of Portugal in this case), without being promoted or participate in the national and league cups (like it happens in Spain). Do you understand what i'm saying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandyDon Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Still in pre-season so far, but liking it so far. 3D matches looking very good so far and game is running very nicely with the same number of leagues/countries that I was running on FM13. Don't know if it's just me though, but when a player is dribbling with the ball it reminds me of that Harry Enfield sketch with the black and white Arsenal.

Bradley21 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Won't argue with that. However, I don't think the number of crosses correlates with the number of headed goals, which look fine to me. The core issue is there are too many wild crosses. I think the ME would be a step better if crosses went down, but if headed goals stayed the same. In my save (in January right now) i concede a lot of headed goals, mostly back post, whereas i've only scored two or three direct from a cross. I have seen a hec of a lot of wild, skewed crosses flying all over the place though, with a couple of them going in the net already. The opposition tend to force play down the flanks a lot, which probably doesn't help matters either, and maybe takes advantage of some poor fullback /positioning/closing down in the current build. The fullback issue isn't helping when it comes to defending those back post headers either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgonzalez Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Really liking the new UI, and the match engine seems fine too (for a beta) however on my game (mac) premier teams don't have a reserve team, just U21 and U18 like the national team - so that will need putting right.

noikeee Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hugely enjoying the beta, or at least my first 3 friendlies and a pair of signings. The UI is brilliant particularly the tactics side - clean, simple and effective. I have no confusion about what the roles do at all - the player instructions with the greyed out options make it very clear. The ability to zoom in 125% is such a crucial feature as well for my full HD 15" laptop. Only bugs I've found so far, related to the UI: - the match UI constantly forgets my positioning of every widget except the match stats one, and even maximizes/minimizes them at random. - adding/adjusting columns of info for players in the pre-match selection screen is unworkable, because as soon as you try to resize one column to make things fit better, all hell breaks loose and you cannot make it go back to where it was. It was already dodgy in FM13 but it looks like it's worse. Not sure if it's related to the 125% zoom thing. Those are just 2 minor annoyances and do not ruin the game. Admitedly this is early days and I may find glaring game-breaking bugs yet, not so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_killie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I really like the look of the new game, but on top of those which have been addressed above (the need to sort every time I return to a team page & mu team name not being highlighted in fixture lists, league tables etc) I have a couple of other issues. 1) When I select a filter from the team selection menu (to include reserves etc), I can no longer scroll with the filter page open. This means having to click out of the filter and back in, which is a bit annoying. 2) If I play a match with just text commentary, my team line-up is now included on the left hand panel if I'm at home and the right hand panel if I'm the away team. In FM13 my team line-up was always on the left-hand panel, which was more intuitive in terms of not having to change where you looked depending on whether you were home or away. I can't see an option to fix that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furkan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Is it just a case in that camera option? Are you using a zoom option at all? Hi Lucas, Really appreciate you're awake and listening to the community at this hour The camera option I use is "Main Stand" (I guess it's the English name for it, I play the game in Norwegian). No, I'm not using any zoom option. Of course as the camera comes closer it gets easier to read. But I think it's more of a coloring/shading issue than distance. Here is another screenshot from a different game with less issue: http://tinypic.com/r/mkbps9/5 As you see when the pitch color is brighter (http://i42.tinypic.com/2mcdmvm.png) and if the game is played in bright daylight, the names become harder to read. Edit: Just noticed that the player names font doesn't get any bigger/smaller with different camera angles. One last screenshot from a different angle: http://oi39.tinypic.com/rwo3uc.jpg The player who has the ball is called Bojkovsky, I think. And the Monaco player who's closest to his own goal must be Borja. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
