Administrators Lucas Posted January 8, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2014 Still no subs when I instant result? That is strange, what instant result match plan are you using? Subs have been working much better for a while now... Shouldn't be an issue at all if it is a newly created Match Plan as far as I know. Again these were fixed with 14.2. Match Plans with regards to subs work like this: - No Specific Match Plan = Subs used at the Assistant's discretion. In Friendlies they should use the majority, if not all their substitutions. If they are not, please post some examples in the bugs forum. - All other Match Plans = typically subs will be in the final quarter of the game. - Either of these will only use your current formation for the duration of the match. You can always create your own Match Plan using the wizard to make this as complex or as simple as you like, including duplicating any templates (this doesn't include the sub rule, as you set this when creating the match plan itself) and seeing what they include and make any changes you want. By and large the substitutions with Match Plans are working as intended. You can influence use of substitutions by creating match plans with scenarios that have different formations used that allow use of substitutions, or you can use lower ability players in your first XI and better players on the bench will replace them. Players that are unfit, injured, or not playing well will tend to be subbed off when using Match Plans, but the assistants can be on the safe side keeping one sub left to use for emergencies. If you have any examples where it is not working as well as you think it should, please post them (ideally with a save) in the bugs forum here: http://community.sigames.com/forumdisplay.php/373-FMC-Gameplay-Issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tieio Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've had zero issue with it since 14.2 nor have I seen/heard any issues, except when using the instant results with the full FM version, but that is not supported here anyway. If this is someone who is looking to get subs made by using the instant results skin in the full version... there is a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the Match Plan you used is not really designed to be used with a friendly. Without knowing what formation you used I can't be certain whether subs should have been made (even for a competitive game), fitness aside. For a friendly, I'd suggest using 'No Specific Match Plan'.

Dagenham_Dave Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I've got the brighter ball mod, which is great, but it doesn't seem to show very well on 2D in FMC. Shows great on the same view in the full game. Would there be any reason for this? Aimed at anyone else with the mod really as opposed to SI as it's a 3rd party mod.

ArcticMonkey Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 FMC is excellent. A welcome alternative to the full game which was taking up too much of my time. Can't seee myself going back now. People asking for more depth in FMC training: the whole point of the game is to be a quick, streamlined version, focusing on matches, tactics and transfers. Why compromise on that at all? Please can someone from the SI team confirm FMC is part of the plan for years to come? It's keeping me interested! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tieio Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Please give some way to influence PPM's that are learned, or used. I had to sell multiple players after they learned PPM's which were supposed to be of benefit (shoots from distance) yet I simply could not find a way to make them work.There are many options: A. Allow us to choose between, say, 2-3 options when a player is learning a PPM. B. Have a way to "turn off" PPM's that have been learned at our club. If I buy a guy with, say, "Argues with Officials" - that is my problem. But if he learns a new one with me, then I should have the option to not use it. C. Have an option under Staff Assignments where we can "take control" of training PPM's. By default, the staff pick, but we can take over - perhaps once we're a bit more informed after playing quite a bit of FMC - and train them ourselves in the usual manner. D. When a new PPM is about to train, we get the option to veto it. I think you meant to post this in the suggestions thread, not the feedback thread.

oyz Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 This looks rather stupid. Not only having a 5-5 game, but scoring on 33 consecutive before finally losing 16-17 on penalities. A bit over the top! The only thing I miss from the FM Classic is really the option to view the tactical analysis. One thing is to make FM classic be a quicker game. But I can't see why having that option will take anything away from anyone. It can still go as fast as before, while being very useful for some players some times. Oh, and the unlockables annoys me. It is one of those revenue-generating things that make me feel not appreciates as a customer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 What about Magic Sponges? Do they actually work now? "Magic sponges, grrrr" was simply by opinion on something that I really dislike within the game. I completely get that that others, (especially the younger generation), might enjoy it and of course it adds an addition revenue stream, but it annoys me just seeing it never mind about clicking on it, (I obviously didn't). There were a few things that I liked. The presentation seemed quite "busy" and was more graphical than the normal game. I quite liked that. It was hard trying to navigate, but that is simply because I was so used to the full game. I really liked the "match plans" if that's what they were called. It seemed like something that should be in the full game if I'm honest. I liked the way that such detailed instruction could be given, (within a framework), that then allowed you to then leave the Managing duties to your Ass Man. Certainly an advancement in my opinion. I quite liked not having to deal with so much media, and loved having not to deal with team-talks, so all positive so far, (apart from the dreaded magic sponges), but then came the crunch. I went to train a young MC as a DM and get another player learning a ppm, and..... nothing. You can't. I get why you can't. It's just that it isn't for me. I was planning on using this, (FMC), as my on-line game, but it was such a turn-off not being able to influence new positions and ppm's. I had sort of made up my mind that I didn't like it wanyway, but then the game crashed when I tried to decline multiple loan offers for a player at the same time and the game crashed, (I think it was linked to me being in windowed mode but I am far from sure), but in any case it gave me the excuse I needed to stop playing and go back to the full game. There are certainly positives, but just for me and the type of save I enjoy, FMC holds little attraction to me. I might be more inclined to go back another day and have a little play with some of the challenges, but that will be the limit of my FMC playing I'm afraid.

I love that you can see stat growth on the players main page though, very handy to see if they're developing. Yep. If you check the changelist for the latest patch, we've made some improvements to the way individual training is worked based on your tactical settings. If you have a high level of tactical consistency with playing players in particular roles, they will train in that role. When you change tactics very frequently, they will be focusing individual training on important attributes or roles relative to their positions.

Sounds like either way they should develop well, so you can still play how you like, rather than restricting yourself to suit the system. Which is good, as the tactical approach of Classic is one of the reasons I love it, both the ease of developing and tweaking tactics, or playing with different tactics to suit available players, or to counter more dangerous teams.

Linie Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well i'm back to FM13 classic mode - "custom style". Never took of for me this year, improvements in this mode were too "limited".

bababooey Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Incoming rant here... - On an amazing run with Bayern, playing Hertha Berlin away. Get into the match, Hertha Berlin are playing the 4-2-3-1 Denmark, which is absurd considering that it is basically a 4-2-4 and they're playing against Bayern... The AI's tactics need to make more sense. This is nuts. - Of course because they're using the 4-2-4, my back line has absolutely no clue how to mark their man. I've got wingbacks who literally run STRAIGHT past their man and just let them breeze by. I've got center backs being pulled out of position for absolutely no reason (A DM ahead of them, and playing against 1 striker, there is no need to close down so aggressive even on a "counter" mentality + drop deeper). - I've got a team that literally forgot how to play. I understand you're supposed to have a bad day sometimes, but it feels like it's forced. Passes being misplaced for no reason, passes rushed for no reason, etc. I know what all the triggers are. I know that tactics matter and I understand why things happen within matches. When I see someone hoof a pass, despite being under no pressure, and having plenty of reasonable passing options, AND not being given conflicting instructions or any instructions that would lead to a hoofed pass, I start to get upset, and rightfully so. - I've got Hertha Berlin TEARING open my defense despite playing on "counter" and using an extremely solid and well balanced 4-1-4-1. I know how to make tactics by now. I know how to keep things simple and tactically sound. This game has become incredibly frustrating with the constant AI through balls, as AI wingers literally sit on the shoulder of the back line (in some cases, depending on AI manager tendencies) and they just split the defense every time. Players of the AI are blatantly offside, but because the ball isn't played to them, it doesn't get called (which I understand, but it's annoying to deal with because it affects my back line's positioning!!!) - It's just impossible to win certain matches, no matter what changes are made. If I'm on a 5 match win streak, and I'm playing away to Hertha Berlin I am aware there is the possibility of overconfidence, and etc. However in FMC, is overconfidence even a part of the game? (complacency).. And more importantly, why the hell is it that even the most simple and sound tactics cannot produce a solid defensive effort? I've got world class defenders. Literally the best GK in the world, two excellent center halves and 2 excellent wingbacks. They play like they're completely inept at times. It all gets glossed over by my little 4 or 5 match win streaks, and at the end of the day my record will look impressive. But, to me, that isn't right. It's masking over a much larger issue. The AI in this game is outrageously frustrating. I don't expect to win every game, and I don't expect to never make mistakes. But what I DO expect, is for the AI's tactics to be more realistic. At times they just hoof 4 players forward, all position RIGHT on the backline of my defense, then the 2 CM's drop a bit deeper, hold onto the ball magically, and then hit a beauty of a through ball straight into my box for a AML/AMR to run into and score. The amount of times this has happened to me, across many saves, is just staggering. I don't typically like to do this. I'm a good player of this game. I understand tactics and try to contribute to the forums. But tonight I've just had enough. I rage quit my game because it was just completely dumb to watch. 3-0 Hertha Berlin, not a chance. I've got a stupid set piece where my player heads the ball back down to ground (good), then amazingly kicks it 5 feet in front of himself, without any teammates around, a Berlin player just walks up, SMASHES the ball right into the top corner. Meanwhile, my strikers will struggle to put away the easiest of chances in a match like this. Un freaking believable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm_freak Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is this suggestions thread or just feedbackk thread? Anyway I want to give a feedback and a suggestion. First of all what I dont like is "Instant Result" because it doesnt offer anything new. It's almost the same as going on holiday for one day, only its faster. It doesnt replicate the result of the match, for example I lost the match against Celta 0-2 which I would have won if I was watching it. And its not just that one match, I have failed to win in many matches which I would have otherwise won. So my suggestion is to fix that part of the game. I was about to win the game in "live mode", then why do I fail in "instant result" mode? Or another solution is that you enter a new more faster way to watch game than "Only comments". A mode that would just swipe through the game without any comment or it would just stop to comment goals and it would move on faster. If this is not a suggestion thread, then please tell me where I should make a suggestions. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

strong centrehalf Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 As an avid football manager since the early cm days I can honestly say I know prefer FMC to the 'full' game, as a dad and being self employed I know longer have the time to dedicate to the full game as each year goes by it gets more in depth and requires dedication to get a long save going, with FMC it feels more like the older games where its possible to get through the game abit quicker and to be honest I dont miss any of the other features from the full game.

Antonin Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 My first reaction to FMC is "You should have done this years ago." As soon as I bought FM14/FMC I bought the "no sacking" option for FMC. Finally I will have the opportunity to get to know my players and learn how to build an effective team. I can take my time and try new things. I gave up on the full game after buying World Wide Soccer Manager 2008. Now, FINALLY, I have a soccer game I can enjoy, without all the media interaction and other detail that makes full-featured FM seem more like work than entertainment.
