Ianinuk Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 yeah same here the only thing im thinking is will the 2d pitch look a bit cramp with all the players on it. Well there's the zoomed in mode to choose from too so that should fix that problem. Also, I notice that there is an option for different Match Speed AND an option for different amounts of Highlights - I'm taking credit for that idea Hopefully that will give us much more control over how long a match takes to play out.

ridley99 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Marc, Are you planning on releasing a new editor for fmh 09? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGB Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 What do you feel the specific problems with the transfers are? The fact that you always have to pay double or more for a player then what it say's there worth. Alright there not listed but still even some players that are transfer listed you can't buy for the asking price,Also, when you bid for transfer listed players, the club replies with something like "This player is not available for sale" even when you match the value and even offer more. When a player has handed in a transfer request and the clubs allowed it, but they don't want to sell them so you still pay over the odds. Mostly though it's the transfer offers that you get, which are rare. When one of your players is listed you have to offer them to clubs at a significant loss sometimes. I got an offer for Owen Hargreaves, worth £12 Million for only £4.5 Million + 10% sell on. Even if they sold him for £30 Million, it's only £7.5 Million. Also the AI controlled teams don't really do many transfers, apart from major ones. IRL there's loads of tranfers during the window not just a handful. I also noticed this. It's mainly a single target, and an overpaid one for that. Liverpool and Chelsea are the worst, spending upwards of £15 Million on an unknown player with stats that even Luke Chadwick could rival. These are the main points I would say. I would also say that clubs are not open to negotiations. Newcastle offered £3.2 Million + 10% for John O'Shea worth £6 Million. I negotiate to £4 Million + 10% and they don't follow up interest. Surely for an extra few hundred thousand you would persue your target. And, even in the cases of better players, i tried to negotiate a deal of £16 Million for Rooney but West Ham wouldn't budge from £11 Million for a £22 Million pounds man. But, when they then start buying other players at over that cost, you know they do in fact have the funds, just are unwilling to spend. What does everyone else think? My opinions in red.

Vane Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Good points MJGB. The transfer system is by far the weakest part of the game and yet it's probably the most important, as it's the effort to improve your squad that keeps you coming back. I hope improvements to this have not been held back at the expense of the 2D match engine and switchable leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 You would like to think that either the new coding for the PC version for transfer could be adapted for the PSP version, or perhaps the old PC code compressed and tweaked to fit the PSP.

ridley99 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 transfers is a major issue that needs looking at plus benefit of including players in the deal would be good! Also recalling players form loan has to be done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to reassure people some work has already been done on the transfer (and contract) system and once I've tested some graphics layer retooling I've just done I'll be looking at further testing and tweaking in that area ...

leeds for ever Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Marc and others that are involved in the programming/progression of this game - can you make sure the game is tested fully please. I'm not moaning or anything but last year there were a few bugs - e.g. Not being able to hold down X to increase a transfer bid or wage offer. This would have been noticed easily if the game was tested extensively but it was only a slight let down to the overall game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly is the man in charge of testing FMH - I'm glad you are also of the opinion that it is the testers that miss all the bugs and not us programmers who can't fix them Being serious for a second - the team testing FMH have done a great job imho, and I'm very confident that FMH2009 will be the most polished version yet.

MJGB Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I would guess it is the same amount of time as Marc mentioned last year that there was a need for a definitive 'end' so as playtesters could reach the end and make sure the game was ok rather than play on and on. I don't think there will be a change as 30 seasons is more than enough. It's like if Sir Alex resigned today and i took over Man Utd until 2038 A very very long career. Most people will get bored after around 10 seasons and start afresh with a new team so i don't see the need for an increase personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
