tyro Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 In my current save, I had some clubs come in for my youngsters (yth) and I rejected the bids the first two times. The third time I just got a news item that the youngsters had entered into negotiations with the other club. One of them turned down the offer, the other accepted and I got an EURO 800k compensation. It doesn't really bother me too much but I am just confused as to why first I can reject and then it seems I am unable to stop it (youngster contract? did my DOF accept it? or HOYD? Even though it didn't state so in the news item). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player you want to keep needs to be offered a full time contract to prefect them being poached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm struggling to play Classic this year (which is a shame as I love that mode), due to the sidebar. On the main game, I've got a skin which leaves just the icons there, and it really opens up the rest of the screen. I use a laptop as opposed to a big, widescreen PC monitor, so the screen looks far too cluttered with the sidebar taking up about a fifth of it. It's expecially brutal on the tactics screen, which is annoying enough to use this year anyway. I really hope we can get either a new skin or a mod from someone which makes the sidebar icons only. Until then, it'll be the full game only for me this year. Which when I think of my great Hibs/Fortuna Sittard saves on FMC14, makes me sad. It's easy to change for yourself, read this thread: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/405837-FM15-Guide-How-to-Edit-the-Sidebar I think you just need to download the base skin fromt he sticky thread in the Skinning Hideout and change the max value to a very high number.

whilewolf2 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Just played my first match. Much more realistic looking football being played. Players are now a lot quicker to get tight and put a challenge in and likewise players with the ball are quicker to get rid of it when being closed down. New feigns and step over animations make a stopped and marked player with the ball and his marker look much more realistic instead of walking parallel to one another they now look as if they're both waiting for the other to commit before making their play. There's still no off the ball collisions or jockeying and pushing which leads to players floating through one another which might be the last really weird looking thing in the 3D.

Sikker Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Having played a bit FM (normal) 15.1.1 and now some FMC 15.1.3 here's my feedback Pros on FMC: -You can select as many leagues as you want (and database size). -Training. Either you are responsible or your ass man are. Or even a mix. And it's easy and intuitive. -No constant player/media interaction that gets really boring and triviel really fast. -No constant news messages from around the globe. Gets quite tedious. -No day to day 'new horrible player offered by agent'. -No need to sign lots of background staff. Cons: -You can't tutor a young player. (Does the ass man do it behind your back?) -You can see all attributes without scouting. I'd much rather it is like in the normal FM. (Or am I doing something wrong?) -I get annoyed at the things you can buy in the game. I don't want the options to be there. It should be possible to turn it off. Yes, I've clicked on several of them because I didn't knew what it was and then directed to the shop. I hope for SI it doesn't end up with loads of kids ruining their parents It seems I'm going to prefer FMC this year. It's faster and has less annoying things that disrupt your progress General observations on FM15: -The new sidebar seems fine. I guess it's going to be really fine when I get more used to it. -Tactical screen seems a bit of a mess at times: Every time I enter the screen I need to click Selection Info and choose Copy of Selection Info to get the selection info I want. It's really getting on my nerves and could be a game breaker for me (yeah sometimes the small things are the most annoying...) Even when I click a player and hit back I need to choose Copy of Selection Info again. Soo annoying. The size of the boxes Position/Role/Duty changes whenever you shift players. It ends up with several different sized boxes and just looks like a real mess. (I think of making a bug report within the next week including my general view on this screen. -Between 80-90% of the goals I see are either scored from crosses (incl free kicks), corners and shots from the edge of area. One on ones seems near impossible to get in. When one on one you'd rather your player lay the ball to either side and hope someone picks it up and cross it (doesn't matter if 4 defenders are back to defend). -Injuries seems to be at the level at last year. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saganakist Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I love the Classic Mode, espacially for LAN-Sessions. It would be great to be able to add some kind of "World League", since this would offer much more fair Team-Selection-Options. Like Bayern and Barca, sounds like a lot of fun to me. I don't know how hard it would be to add an official "World League Mode" as a DLC in the shop, but i think that would be a nice addition. Of course as a official DLC it would need more polishing then the Workshop-mod, like solving the problem with the travling costs of the mod for example. Another option would be to have kind of "Verified Communty-Mods" that are useable in classic mode as well or Classic-only (if the difference in the code is too big between FM and FMC).

saganakist Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How I can you do this? Under "Play match" is the button "Instant result", simple as that, and if you don't want to handle your line-up as well in those matches, just use the "Quick Pick"-Button. You can even save your first team in the Quick pick drop-down menu, so you can switch back to your best team with just a few clicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Instant Result basically plays the match out using your tactics as they are. If you want, you can then use match plans to add a bit more control and variability to Instant Results by specifying different approaches to make in different scenarios. It's a really powerful tool that I don't get the sense that many people make use of. I don't use it at all as I don't Instant Result, but I really want to do an Instant Result only save in Brazil at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagenham_Dave Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Each to their own, but playing a whole season using Instant Result would be an utterly soul-less experience for me. Ironically, I'd have loved this option back in the days of FM07 and 08 where I found watching the basic, jerky match engine a real chore. (I eventually just had commentary only on in the end) I remember in those days the actual match was the thing I looked forward to the least in the game, where it's now the thing I most look forward to in the more recent versions. I love the elation and the despair that watching the matches unfold gives you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely has its place and isn't as distant as you might expect; I found it generated a different sort of tension and elation. I'll continue to play matches out myself on my current save, but it would fit the way I'd want to motor through a new save in Brazil - specifically the State Championship matches.

macca72 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Can I ask a question about Opposition Instructions. I know these are not in FMC (which on the face of it I'm very glad), relative to other things just how important are they tactically? I see a lot of people putting a lot of focus / attention on them, and wondered just how tactically effective they are, and whether FMC is at a "disadvantage" by not having them included... Cheers.

Administrators Lucas Posted November 20, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wouldn't say they put the FMC user at a disadvantage at all, quite the contrary (The AI don't use them in FMC). They are not free of their own risks when using them, as they are asking players in your team to ignore other instructions to focus on specific player(s). Tight Marking and Closing Down on a specific player for example is more likely to create space for another player or leave your own defences more exposed as a possibility. In short, they are best used when you're aware of what the instruction does, and what this likely means for your team and formation. You can always select a player to man-mark an opposition, which also carries its own risks as well. Just to reiterate RT: I never use them either, only once or twice in FM ever have I used them or wanted to. Sometimes putting something like this front and center can make users feel obligated to use something that they don't need to in their case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I didn't use them in fat mode for the reasons Lucas says - they risk pulling your team apart. Some like "Show Player Onto Weaker Foot" are handy, but others carry way more risk. Above all, I play in a stupidly simplistic way, and am too lazy to be arsed to select extra options anyway Plus I don't touch fat mode any more.

Highsis Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I am willing to pay for a separate editor if it is usable on classic. Casual players like myself prefer FMC over regular game, and casuals tend to use editors more often than hardcore players. I want to be able to use in-game editor for FMC.
