Administrators Neil Brock Posted April 10, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2014 Please leave all feedback in regards to the PlayStation Vita version of the game here. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwwfc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just came through the letterbox! I have had 30 minutes with this and so far I must say I am VERY impressed. The interface, which I had initial concerns with, really does work. It almost in a strange way feels like FMC was made for the PS Vita. First impressions brilliant.

Jophilo Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 So no freez or long time loading.... cool . Did you used to play FMC on pc ? If yes, the vita version seems to be the same ? Tactil screen works well ? The interface isn't too small ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I've asked Google Translate to translate a Dutch review somebody linked in the earlier thread: http://www.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamersnet.nl%2Freviews%2Ffootball_manager_classic_2014%2F EDIT - just read it - the translation is a bit "special", but you get the idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactil screen works well ? The interface isn't too small ? Yes, Yes, Yes and no. As I say, it is all well put together. Not too cramped as I feared it may. It is going to be a brilliant feature for me. I have this grip below on my Vita aswell. This whole experience is fantastic I must say. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GABRQ4Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammmy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 1st review I have seen - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/review/a563824/football-manager-classic-2014-review-vita-a-match-made-in-heaven.html#~oB2BUzsQM2S4BF Lack of screen size seems an issue, though I could get used to that I reckon - at least it's a compromise as all the features of FMC are there.

RTHerringbone Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Quite a few reviews popping up now, some less complimentary than others. Main quibble seems to be performance relative to the PC version, but I assume that there must be a degree of compromise to squeeze the game onto the Vita. http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/psvita/football_manager_classic_2014 http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/football_manager_classic_2014_review_psvita.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammmy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Scrolling through menus is fiddly, and it currently seems (presumably due to a bug) that you can’t move players into positions vacated after a sending off. Don't like the sound of that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Don't like the sound of that... I'm ignoring that review. He'd played for 7 hours, and it almost sounds like he's never played the game before. Aaron linked a review on ShopTo on the other thread which seems far more positive: http://www.shopto.net/news/45825/Football-Manager-Classic-Review Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamG1878 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I had read somewhere that moving players requires you to also hold the L trigger. Could it be that the reviewer didn't know to do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm ignoring that review. He'd played for 7 hours, and it almost sounds like he's never played the game before.

whyalwaysmatthew Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I had read somewhere that moving players requires you to also hold the L trigger. Could it be that the reviewer didn't know to do that? Thank You I didn't know this and was having a problem moving players around but that solves it. It seems the same as the PC one but obviously slower because it's on a vita. The text is very small but hopefully this will just take getting used to, apart from that the only issue is kits and logos which I expect will come with time.

sammmy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Great point, I remember reading that too somewhere. Still be nice to get it confirmed about the issue. Shopto sounds good, can't wait to pick this up - sure it won't be perfect but who care it's FMC in your pocket for crying out loud! Speed (unless unbearably slow) has never been an issue for me, if it's too quick I think it loses some of it's immersion factor. I do hope that you can still look at various stats / players etc, whilst the game is generating results in the background? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwwfc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Shauny1990 - Two questions for me please:1. Have you given the Cross Save Functionality a go yet? 2. Did you start a new save on the Vita, or upload an existing PC one and continue it on the Vita? My save was completely fresh. I havent tried the cross save as of yet because I just wanted to go all in and see how I got on. I find it bizarre people reporting bad reviews. All I will say is, like myself if you have years and years of experience of FM, embraced FMC for what it was and is, you will love this edition.

sammmy Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 They've now corrected their review - this was indeed the case. Haha. Just re-read his review. So lot me get this straight, one of his complaints, wasn't actually a bug yet it doesn't change his view on the game?!! Great review... Not. Sounds like the core market of players love it and I can't wait to play. @Aaron Can you look at stats / perform tasks whilst the game is running the results in the background?

SaintPaul Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is the font size really as bad as some reviews are saying?

RTHerringbone Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just learned from stalking Miles' tweets that there is no Instant Result on the Vita version for technical reasons. Doesn't affect me at all, but is probably worth mentioning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPaul Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm by no means an expert on football manager, as my questions and comments no doubt highlight, but does anyone else get the feeling that quite a few of the people writing the reviews don't really get what the game is about?

accursedwolf Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My girlfriend took delivery of the game ordered from shopto shortly before 12, I got home from work about 1 & been playing it since then, continued my save game via cross save which worked perfectly well, not played a match yet as I'm in pre season & sorting out my squad, so 4 hours I spent on game sorting out transfers contracts etc, can't believe how much they have crammed into a handheld version of the game, my view so far is its outstanding.

shaunwwfc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is there actually an option to disable the touchscreen elements to it and stick a mouse on the screen and play that way? Similarly to how I remember it on the Xbox 360/PSP?? Only I would probably say that is my only negative of the game, and what could potentially (I am hoping not!) put me off it a little. After a few hours it ends up becoming extremely fiddly and tiresome especially with the bulky fingers I have and the size of the screen. I keep having to actually change the positionings of my hands!

shaunwwfc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I am beginning to lose patience with the touchscreen when I expected it would just come natural and grow on me a few hours ago. Do you HAVE to use the touchscreen? Is there not a feature to bang a little mouse on the screen and use it with the little joystick? After all, the title is called Classic...
