SMV90 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I remember booking my holidays off work back in early September. I still had about three weeks unused. I booked a week off in September (which allowed me to be off for my birthday too). I still had two weeks left and was told they ran out at the end of October. I checked the rota and found I could have from the 16th to the 31st of this month off. I didn't realise until around mid-to-late September that I would mostly probably still have around a week to a week-and-a-half off when the Beta was released (I was assuming that the game would be released near the end of Oct/start of Nov). So, yeah, I can enjoy a work-free week of some serious FM. This next week or so is going to be legen - wait for it - DARY! Edit: Yeah... I did this in the wrong thread. But, to contribute to this thread, all the new features look really good. Like most people, the Tracksuit/Technical feature is the bomb. I want to love the Movember addition, but I hate mustaches. It's either got be a full beard or clean shaven for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've just got my activation code. Do I now add the game on steam and put in the activation code? Load up Steam, in the top bar is 'Games' and click activate product' ....voila. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard boy Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Load up Steam, in the top bar is 'Games' and click activate product' ....voila. Loaded up steam and added game and put in the code I've just been sent. Looked under games and it says fm15 but it says not yet released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

treble_yell_:-) Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 If it's anything like last year a beta version will appear in your library that gets an update on launch day to turn it into the retail version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macshimmy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 What happens to your football club manager straight after a game? A mircophone is shoved in his/her face and he's asked for a reaction to the result along with several other inane questions. If he's lucky he'll get ten minutes with the team before heading off to the full post-match presser to respond to even more inane questions. Throughout the week he and his PA will be taking calls from the press, doing interviews and will then have the next pre-match press conference. To say that the media interaction is irritating or pointless or that it adds nothing to the tactical side of the game is completely missing the point. To be a realistic Management simulator it has to reflect the near constant media interaction. And if anyone can suggest a better way of doing it, stick it on the wishlist. It's the old game vs. sim debate. Would the game be better without media interaction in its current state? Many would argue yes. Would it be less realistic? Yes, definitely.Having something in the game simply because it's realistic, even if it adds nothing else to the game, isn't a good enough justification for a feature. If it were, we'd have all kinds of mind-numbing stuff included. But rather than removing it or sidestepping it, the focus needs to be on making that part of the game more interesting and, in fact, more realistic. The media interaction in-game simply isn't reflecting the importance or interesting nature of media interaction with real-life football- it is an irritant because of what it means (or doesn't mean) in terms of gameplay, not because it's too realistic. Lawlore answered this pretty well, all I would add is that (as it stands in FM2014) it is irritating and pointless - because the best answers are always the same ones, so it's just a box-checking exercise. That doesn't mean to say it always has to be that way - I'll be delighted if they have genuinely improved this aspect of the game - not just added 'more' of it.

HUNT3R Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 actually, there is no best answer. depending on form, morale (of your and opposition team) frequently same answer gives different results. to an extent it is same with the team talks. This. Not to mention whether your team needs pressure put onto them or not. Obviously it depends whether they can handle it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOA Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Buzzing for this now. Is it sad that that I've pied off plans with the Mrs this weekend for a few days with FM?? Never told her that mind you!Cmom SI give us an early treat before Friday! I tried, but it's her birthday If you all thought Press Conferances were annoying, I think SI should implement this (forward to 2:30)... [video=youtube;biSIPUoE8bM] Galatasaray Vs Fenerbahce Derby.

pjohnson87 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I'm really excited about the new scouting system looks much much more immersive One thing I would like to see is where you have desired attributes, it would be nice to also have desired PPM's too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will always be box checking until computers are able to converse which means improvements can only be adding thousands more lines of optional questions and answers with the appropriate triggers.

RTHerringbone Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Whats the difference between a Roaming Playmaker and a Regista? Roaming Playmaker doesn't drop as deep as a Regista and advances further forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luizinho Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Roaming Playmaker doesn't drop as deep as a Regista and advances further forward. Thanks, also any news on changes to Tactical Familiarity? I found this to be a real problem when tweaking my tactics, as small changes seemed to effect it a lot.

HUNT3R Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks, also any news on changes to Tactical Familiarity? Not really, but people placed far too much importance on this. If you need to make a change for the benefit of the system, do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
