Hashtag_Orange Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I thought this thread would be a good idea as a lot of the questions asked in this forum are for tablets and rather than the same questions being repeated again, having questions asked and answered in one thread by other forum members should be pretty helpful. Also, for general comparisons and even those who want to drop little reviews, if you could mention the tablet you're using that would be great. I have a Lenovo Tablet and Nvidia Shield and will post my thoughts in comparison to FM Touch 2016 a little later once I've played a couple of seasons however if anyone has any questions regarding Touch 2017 and those tablets I'll do my best to answer.

Stonners Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I have a Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 and I've found this year it cannot cope with 3d graphics, very laggy and doesn't show skin colour correctly. So I've started using 2d pitch and as it's an older Tablet I was going to bump it up a little and get a second hand Nexus 9. I've read this used to not cope well with in game graphics in FM even with good graphics card on board. Does anyone have any experience with the Nexus 9 this year?

oleg8979 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I have Samsung Tab S2. Quite strong tablet... FMT 16 was fine in terms of 3D match FMT 17 is disaster - very laggy. So, there is definitely some issue with 3D this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
engengaifc Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 How does the Nvidia Shield work with FM17? I'm looking for a tablet that can run it smoothly, without lag on the 3d games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Js1989 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I have a Lenovo tab2 and my friend has a Samsung, both have the same lag on the 3d match, I don't think the tablet matters much I think it's more the game, I only really bought touch for the 3d match too so I'm really disapointed in SI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard boy Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've not yet got FMT17. does anyone have Samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 and if so how does it run. I played FMT16 on it and it was ok although 3D engine didn't run great which did surprise me because it's wasn't exactly a cheap tablet. I had to use 2D. I'd assume it would be the same with this.

Gerara Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I notice that the new FMT matches lag a lot. I own a Sony xperia Z4 tablet.

Hodgy Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I have an Nvidia shield and just like last years game it really isn't up to standard for me! The match engine is definitely better however the game just doesn't play smooth or quick enough for me to really immerse myself and enjoy it. It's great that we now have proper FM on tablets however for me it just isn't quite there yet, I feel that tablets in general still struggle to process the stripped down version and that's why we get the lag and stutter in 3D, screen lag in general and longer loading times. If you can put up with the occasional screen lag when navigating pages, text commentary and depending on tablet 2D key match highlights then by all means get the game however if like me these things will stop your enjoyment then hold off! FMM plays really well on tablets and for me is good enough for when I can't play FM on my PC. FM Touch imo is not good enough as it stands, it is on it's way but I feel we need stronger tablets on the market, FM Touch 2020 will be where it's at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaxi Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I just installed the FMT on my tablet, thinking it'd be a different kind of game, but it looks exactly the same... Nothing seems optimised for touch screens. Have I done something wrong? Or were my expectations out of whack? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, processing is better in FMT 17, matches are faster - the match clock is running faster between highlights But don't know about 2D, didn't play it this way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Different to what exactly Slaxi? The PC version of touch, the full PC game or FMM? & what were your expectations? The game is pretty much the same as the PC version of touch, it has been slimmed down for tablets ie 30 season career, smaller database etc, however there are no special optimised touch screen features, in fact depending on the tablet the touch screen can get somewhat laggy. It is a very good game however if you can access the PC version and you bought touch on tablet for a different gaming experience then I'd get a refund if you are in the time window. For me FM touch on tablets is for those who can't play on PC or for people who simply don't have the time to always sit at a PC so use it as a portable to continue their career when possible, obviously it can also be used for other reasons too however that is kind of how I view FM touch on tablets. Anyway, let us know what you were expecting and hopefully the above helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, let us know what you were expecting and hopefully the above helps Ah. Yeah I was expecting a different UI optimised for tablets with bigger buttons and stuff. I tried playing my FM game streamed through steam on my tablet, (Surface Pro 4), but I couldn't make substitutions because there was no click and drag, or tap and hold, that I could see. It's not a big deal then, the touch version came with the full game, so I don't feel hard done by at all. Was just hoping it was something I could put on my tablet and ... ahem... sneak a few games while at work When you say 30 season career, does that mean on the FMT game it ends after 30 seasons? Not that I've ever reached 30, I think my max is about 20 when I was an unemployed teenager. Thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I've ever reached 30, I think my max is about 20 when I was an unemployed teenager. Thanks for your help No worries at all As for the 30 season career, yes it simply ends after 30 seasons on the tablet version of FMT due to limitations on tablets, you could continue the save on the PC after 30 seasons if you wanted to as the PC version doesn't have a cut off and they're cross save compatible but for those playing exclusively on tablets it is 30 season careers at most. Similar to you I have never played that long on a save but the season limit would still put me off if FMT was a game I was playing exclusively on my tablet for some reason however for your use of sneaking a few games in at work, it is pretty ideal imo.

Geoff Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 in addition to which: ridiculous numbers and types of injuries player who has been injured all season is now unhappy at lack of game time and demands matches no team talks, so over-confidence/emotional state of players cannot be modulated >> players under-performing sloooow games and instant results now clearly impact your overall result negatively.
